Replying to: vwbus1979 (Nov 29, 2000 4:24 pm) Hello to all  Im from Red Deer Alberta, Canada and I purchased my 95 Aurora from my brother several months ago. He had just bought a holiday trailer and needed a truck to haul it.I thought my macho 6ft 3in. tall brother was going to cry like a baby when he handed me the keys. This guy is a very respected parts manager in So. Alberta - has been in the business for 25+ yrs has had the privelage of driving ans owning some of the most luxurious vehicles GM has to offer. He told me that he would still be driving it if he didnt need a truck. There were other people that were interested in the Aurora but he was certain that they would just turn the car over for a profit so he offered it to me and my husband (who is also a partsman in the industry for at least as many years) Let me just let you know something now that may not be that interesting to you (amusing maybe) our last name just happens to be Olds! Not a very common name for sure. Two weeks after we brought the car home, my husband had a family reunion in a town not far from here. The name of that town is OLDS! OK, you may not find this as amusing as we did, but THINK about it...Mr. Olds driving his OLDS to OLDS tAny howo meet more OLDS for an OLDS family reunion. For anyone that might doubt the existance of OLDS, Alberta, go ahead and look it up on any map.   We LOVE our OLDS!

Replying to: dreamride (Oct 23, 2007 8:24 am) Hey all Im very happy to find this site. youre the only people that will listen to me go on about my aurora. When we first got this car, my husband was skeptical. He didnt seem like he wanted to drive it at all. This didnt last long, however. Before I knew it, I only had 1 set of keys and he was always VERY helpful at suppertime. ie:"do you need more milk? butter? anything?" and off he would go in the Aurora to the store for whatever he could come up with that evening. This trend has slowed down a little bit but he is definately in love with the car. By the way, can anyone clue me in on what the Autobon feature is? I dont know if I have it. Thanks Replies to this message: dano853 (Nov 27, 2007 9:55 pm) blk97aurora (Nov 28, 2007 7:29 pm)
#5801 of 5865 no a/c no heat???? by carbdude Nov 03, 2007 (10:19 am)
I have a 1998 Aurora that the a/c and heat won't work.. the heater will blow momentaraly and the a/c will only stay on if I tap on the clutch! then it will eventually disengage and quit working. As for the heater it will blow air when it want's too no matter what setting you have it on. Could it be a Resistor or the blower motor?? I have already replaced the a/c relay and the pigtail on the compressor. Something else its doing is making a wierd noise under the dash like a solinoid is running maybe trying to open a heater door or something. HELP!!!!!!!
#5802 of 5865 Classic overhead storage console? by blk97aurora Nov 06, 2007 (5:55 pm)
I recently found an image of a '97 Classic window sticker on eBay. I was surprised to see an entry for "overhead storage console." My '97 has no such storage console. My car has sunroof, so maybe non-sunroof cars had the storage. Was there such a thing, or is this a mistake on the window sticker? The VIN ends "00053," so it was a very early '97.   Les Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Nov 06, 2007 6:09 pm) blk97aurora (Nov 07, 2007 6:56 pm) rjs200240 (Nov 26, 2007 1:28 pm)

Replying to: blk97aurora (Nov 06, 2007 5:55 pm) Is there still a company on the internet that will print out the window sticker for a car based on the serial number? OR can a dealer print out the original window sticker duplicate? Replies to this message: blk97aurora (Nov 07, 2007 6:56 pm)

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 06, 2007 6:09 pm) I have been searching for years to get a repro window sticker for my '97 with no success. The Olds Heritage center has no record of my car. I have been able to obtain a copy of a blank sticker; I may be able to produce one myself, but it will be a lot of work (plus I need to get an example to copy). I have not been able to find a "friendly" dealer; I do not know if the capability exists for any dealer to print a repro for a 10-year-old car anymore. When I worked for a Chevrolet dealer in 2005, they had the capability to print revised window stickers (for price increases, natch). The people who advertise repro Monroney labels aren't interested in cars less than 25 years old.   If anyone has a solution, I'm interested.   Les
#5805 of 5865 97aurora questions by fnyrad Nov 13, 2007 (11:02 am)
i have a 97 aurora i love the car. i have a couple questions i was woundering if anyone could help me. first off does anyone have any problems with the window switch? Mine will work from the drivers door but not any of the others, like the child lock is on, i replaced the whole switch on the drivers side and they still dont work, any ideas?   Second. the button for the fuel door doesnt work eather. i replaced the switch and it still doesnt work. (i dont know if the two are related or not. maybe its one controler)   and third i have driven one with the autobahn package on it and i loved it, but mine does not have it. i was woundering if it would be possible to install it, if it is just a controler. any info on anything would be greatly appricated Replies to this message: dano853 (Nov 27, 2007 9:14 pm) fnyrad (Nov 29, 2007 10:26 am)
#5806 of 5865 Re: Aurora power windows and door locks [blk97aurora] by pscheid Nov 15, 2007 (6:58 am)
Replying to: blk97aurora (Aug 29, 2007 3:04 pm) Just to complete the loop on this discussion, besides the power windows and door locks, I believe this is a good place to check when the power driver's seat starts to work intermittently. I'm no mechanic, but I had the power seat problem a couple of years back, the seatback control worked on and off, and I think that is where the mechanic found the problem. Wouldn't that be the same route for the power driver's mirror as well?   Jack

Replying to: hammen2 (Sep 04, 2007 7:37 pm) Just had the same issue in the exact same place with my 1998 Autobahn at 82,000 mi. Swapped out the original hoses, thermostat, and water pump while I was at it. Ouch, but I don't want to get caught standing by the side of the road in the middle of winter with my wife forcefully reminding me that I need to get a newer car, for her sake and our dogs. I love this car, so maybe this preventitive maintanence will keep her at bay.

Replying to: blk97aurora (Nov 06, 2007 5:55 pm) Hey Les,   The 4th post on this has a picture of a 1998 Aurora window sticker:   http://aurorah.proboards47.com/index.cgi?board=Gen&action=display&thread=1136232- 511   It does not appear to mention any overhead storage, though this car also has a sunroof. Usually though the standard equipment is listed even if an option replaces it. What was the eBay link to the window sticker you saw?   Bob
