#373 of 431 Re: 2000 Buick Century Code P0401 [edbeard] by buy1 Jan 16, 2008 (10:49 am)
Replying to: edbeard (Jul 08, 2007 11:11 am) Just wondering if you ever found the cure for P401. I have changed the EGR, The Pipe to the Exhaust, The Map sensor, and a couple of other sensors that I am not sure what they are called. Help Please.
#374 of 431 2003 Buick Cetury Heater Problem by rogerrabbit481 Jan 17, 2008 (9:31 am)
My daughters 2003 Buick Century is having heating problems. When she turns the heater on it will alternate between hot and cold air. Temp guage is in the correct operating range. Any ideas as to why it doesn't stay on hot? Replies to this message: rogerrabbit481 (Jan 21, 2008 8:19 am) kframe (Jan 21, 2008 6:34 pm)

Replying to: darthmonkey200 (Aug 11, 2007 4:08 pm) Sounds to me liker the bearings are going in the AC compressor. This is slowing your belt and causing associated electrical problems, the bearings ease up after a bit and problem slacks. Eventually the compressor bearings will seize and after a few minutes of engine running you'll have a complete engine failure: overheat, oil pressure power steering etc.

Replying to: rogerrabbit481 (Jan 21, 2008 8:19 am) Hi. The Temperature control on the dash operates a vacuum controlled door that mixes cold air with hot air. It is possible that yours has 2 doors. One may not be getting the vacuum to open or close the door. I'm not sure if yours might have 2 doors (1 left &1 right). That kinda would explain your problem though. Checking the vacuum on these "doors" might not be too easy. Definately requiring removal of under dash panels. Also a Vacuum Pump/Gauge would be helpful in determining weather the doors are operating correctly. Good Luck!

#381 of 431 Q: What could make a squealing sound.... by tiredinco Jan 28, 2008 (9:37 am)
...on the driver's side when driving, but not when applying brakes? Please tell me this isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. The sound sounds like it's coming from the driver's wheel area. It doesn't do it all the time either...that's what's weird.
