#11 of 1000 Intrigue Owner for 1 week by wx5l Jul 16, 2001 (11:11 am)
Just purchased a 2001 Intrigue. Just getting use to it and have found 2 items that are noticeable.   When making a hard turn right or left from a stop I hear a groan from beneath the hood. Kind of reminds me of a power steering pump struggling. don't hear it on slight turns.   When driving the car there is an incessant clicking noise from the seat belt recoil area near my left ear. It seems to fade as the air conditioned cools the car but returns when the car is hot. I'd hate to start jamming foam rubber between cracks in that area.   Has anyone noticed any of these 2 noises?   Thanks, Randy New Orleans, LA.

Sounds like it could be the pump. Or, since it is still very new, possibly not enough fluid in the pump. Since it's still under warranty, I say take it to the dealer and let them see what it is.   I'm on my second Intrigue. Had it for about the same amount of time. I'll listen out to see if I hear it in mine as well. Haven't so far.
#13 of 1000 buzzing sound by taeku Jul 18, 2001 (9:02 am)
I bought a new 99 Intrigue w/ the 3.5 engine. Recently, I am hearing a buzzing sound from the engine just behind wheel on the driver side? The dealer I've been dealing with first claimed they didn't hear it. The second time I brought it in, they claimed that it was normal. It sounds a lot like the sound from my old Delta 88 where the engine had to be replaced due to something being worn out in the engine.   Is this a known problem or am I just one of the unlucky ones? Anyone know what could be problem?
#14 of 1000 Follow-up from My Message #11 by wx5l Jul 24, 2001 (7:12 pm)
I brought my 2 week old Intrigue into the service shop.   The manager jumped in the car to analyze my concerns. 1. The groan that I hear is the AS brake system which only happens one time after each start. He said it was part of the start-up(pump). He said it was normal for this car. Guess I'll just have to live with it. 2. That noise I was hearing near my left ear was not coming from the weather-stripping but from the head rest. It was fully extended and when I exert a force forwards on the headrest it stops. I collapsed the headrest down all the way and the noise disappears.
#15 of 1000 2000 Intrigue Needs New Tires by tomw11 Aug 09, 2001 (7:37 am)
My 2000 Intrigue (23k miles) recently was diagnosed with 2 tires having broken belts and 2 tires that are "cuffed or cupped" ? The cuffed tires have low spots that cause a loud noise when driving. The tires are the original Goodyear Eagle LS 225/60R16's. Has anyone else experienced this kind of tire failure? My driving is primarily highway and I don't go looking for potholes or curbs to hit. I have no intention of buying new Goodyears. I was thinking Michelins. Any thoughts? Thanks.

These are suppose to be good. I like my Eagles though.

Any Olds/GM technicians here? I've got a few questions about the BCM and some of it's features.
#18 of 1000 passenger compartment filter by cleong Sep 03, 2001 (7:53 pm)
Does anyone have the passenger compartment air filter and has changed it themselves? I don't quite understand how to do it.
#19 of 1000 passenger filter by moonshadow Sep 06, 2001 (6:02 am)
If your referring to the pollen filter then it is a quite easy process.   First you must turn on your wipers and turn off the car when the wipers are in the upper most position, opposite of the parked position.   Second you must raise the hood and remove the plastic washer type screws (2 or 3 not sure) on the right side (passenger) air plenum cover. You will notice that this black plastic cover is split midway across the window. It may be necessary to giggle it a bit as this half cover wraps around a little under the passenger fender.   When you get plenum cover out , Ta da , the filter is sitting there, about 4 by 10 inches. It must be lifted at the front, enough to clear the metal holder frame and slid out .   Naturally, replacement is the reverse order . Good luck
