I know this at the end of February 2009 I will get rid of the POS and Never, Never buy another GM product. They did not stand by their product and as of today I have spent over $3,500 for repairs to a vehicle that has never been in an accident. Uggghhhh. Oh by the way the heater stopped working this morning.

Replying to: scolvin1 (Dec 21, 2007 9:38 pm) I am also a new owner of a used Buick RDV 2003. I'm experiencing little problems... I'm wondering if you tell me all of the problems you encountered. I may have the same problems. First, the T/C light with a little wrench beside it lit in the middle of the dashboard. Second, the ABS light came on. Third, a light with a little truck with a wrench. Can you give me hints on what articles I can read to find my solutions? Regards, GUY |

OK, I do have the wheel bearing going bad....driver frt. I now have it up on jacks, all apart....cleaned, and ready with new bearing hub.... my issue is this, what are the torq specs for the three bolts that hold the bearing on, as well as the huge "hub nut"....does anyone have this info, Or can anyone give me a desent range to be in. I know old school always was, for the huge hub nut, was torq down good, then back off 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn..... not to sure if that will work right on these, which are different! any help is awesome tanx

Replying to: partagas (Dec 02, 2008 11:00 am) The three bolts should be replaced with new ones, since like the previous post mentioned, they are designed to stretch only once, that being the original installation of them. However, I have reused those bolts with no problem. They get torqued to 96 Ft Lbs (130-N-m). The wheel hub locking nut gets torqued to 192 Ft Lbs (260 N-m). If you don't have a torque wrench that large, some auto part stores will "loan" you one if you leave a deposit which is refunded when you return the tool. Auto Zone or one of the large chain stores do that. When you install the new wheel spindle nut, the two washers have a "ramped" side. They must face each other. Hope this helps. |

So I fell for the trap and bought an 02 cxl about a year or so ago. I was told that it had already had several things replaced on it and I guess this should have been a clue. We really love the car but the repair is getting expensive. Ok, so we have a new BCM to install, I have found the basic how to on removing the BCM but here is the problem. I cannot remove the fuse box that the BCM is attached to. Does anyone know how much of the console needs to be removed? I can't find a repair manual anywhere in town and we really need this car running again. Thanks, Stephen. |

Replying to: ceriff (Dec 09, 2008 3:33 pm) To remove the Junction Block (fuse box): 1. Disconnect the BCM electrical connectors (3) at the top. 2. Disconnect the console accessory wiring junction block electrical connectors (2). Looks like they are held on with allen head bolts, it says when reinstalling bolts, finger tight first then tighten to 54 lb in. 3. Release the (2) retainers on the sides. 4. Finally, Remove the console accessory wiring junction block out of the bracket. 5. Now you should be able to access the retaining lever for the BCM. Looks like a little hockey stick. Good luck, I have an 2002 cx I Just purchased (afraid after reading all these forums) and found the shop manuals on ebay. They seem like the will be extremely helpful. Just did a thermostat on it. Kind of a pain, manual says to remove exhaust manifold crossover (no way), i was able to get it without doing that. Let me know if you need scans of the instructions and I can email it to ya.
