2001 Daewoo Leganza Starting Issues. by lllarrolll

Recently I was driving my 01' Daewoo Leganza and the serpentine belt must have got caught on something (needed a new belt, had shreds coming off) and got shredded to nothing all under the car. I had it towed to my house via AAA. Bought a new belt for it, installed it, now the car cranks but will not start. Any ideas?

Leganza 2001 power steering fluid by pkt
Jul 23, 2009 (9:20 am)

Hi, I need to refill my steering fluid. The owners manual lists DEXRON III or DEXRON II D. I could not locate this in the Carzone. The Carzone guy suggested Coastal Multipurpose DexMerc. Although the bottle says this can suppliment DEXRON III, Coastal Multipurpose DexMerc is a ATF. As far as I know ATF should not be used as power steering fluid but Carzone had no other alternative.
 
I am really confused - Is it OK to use this as power steering fluid?
I would appreciate your suggestion/advice.

Did you turn the pulleys by hand before you put the new belt on, to verify that all of the bearings on the accessories were free to turn, and not wobbly or bad?

I need a radio code for a 2002 Daewoo Nubira. My radio went dead after my battery died. All I see is code.

My check engine light is still on after changing spark plugs and wires. Now the code says to change out the speed sensor. Where is this thing located at?

daewoo nubira 2000 valve cover gasket by jcjr7

I have a 2000 nubira wagon. I have spurt leak every 5 or 10 seconds from my valve cover. Do you think I might be able to tighten it down some to stop it? About 57K on the motor from a junk yard so no real historyon the engine. the timing belt and small round parts with the timing have been changed out though.
 I am in NC, usa.
I will probably change the gasket when I have time. I haven't changed a new type rubber gasket only the old type in he 60's and 70's. apparently I buy some gasket maker or sealer (silicone) and place that where the corner curves are in the gasket plus around the spark plug holes.
 
best type of gasket sealer or maker to buy?
 
What brand is a good gasket to get?
 
or should I pay premium and get the gasket from the dealer?
 
Any unusual things to know about to valve cover gasket replacemt on the 2000 daewoo nubira?

I don't have a Nubira, mine is a Leganza. I think the motors may be similar.
Oil may leak from the valve cover, but should not "spurt". Tightening probably won't help since the bolts should be torqued. (Leganza is 71 inch pounds--IMPORTANT).
I would check crankcase ventilation hoses; looking for collapsed, soft or tightly bent hoses coming from the valve cover.
If you do change the valve cover gasket, I have found one is about as good as another and have even used the old one if not broken.
I put a heavy coat of Mega Grey on mine and cut the heads off four long bolts to screw in as a temporary guide when re-installing. Clean everything thoroughly and dry.
Look in the spark plug holes. If there is oil in them, the gasket is leaking and the engine won't operate properly. Hope this helps.

2002 Lanos thermostat by twj815

My 2002 Lanos has broken 4 thermostat housings in the last month. I have been getting the replacement parts from a local parts dealer that specializes in import cars. His shop also checked the engine and can't find anything wrong with the engine that might be causing the cooling system to get too much pressure in it.
 
Does anyone know if there has been a run of bad parts or what else I should look for?
 
Thanks
