#61 of 944 Re: High milage Suburban, how long do they last? [aykut] by steve_ HOST Mar 26, 2005 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: aykut (Mar 26, 2005 2:38 pm) Any idea if those are highway commuting miles or lots of interurban driving? Remember that it's not just the engine and drivetrain with all those years and miles, but also the brake system, suspension, etc. A good going over by your mechanic would be worth it.   Steve, Host Replies to this message: laredoggg (Dec 08, 2005 9:41 am)

#63 of 944 2004 heated seats by fastwilly Mar 28, 2005 (5:35 am)
The seats start to warm-up then shut off, both are doing this. Is there a relay or something that can be checked? Thanks

Replying to: beatfarmer (Mar 24, 2005 1:52 pm) thanks for the reply. Yes, we did replace the thermostat and put standard antifreeze. Actually we put 40 below from summit. The only thing we could think about right now is Radiator, though it looks good from outside. We will have it checked very soon. If it does not solve the problem, we have to say good bye to this car, though we like it very much. Replies to this message: beatfarmer (Mar 31, 2005 12:47 pm) xtianknights (Sep 29, 2005 10:32 pm)

check what temp level your seats are set at. the lowest only heats the seat to body temperature, medium goes a little warmer, and high goes a little warmer. there are lights near the control-one bar lit is low, two bars medium, three bars high. it shuts off after reaching preset temperatures.

Replying to: echo00 (Mar 30, 2005 12:02 am) Yep, sounds like the radiator is blocked. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
#68 of 944 '03 Fuel Filter Replacement by cbett1 Mar 31, 2005 (11:22 pm)
I'm trying to find out how to replace the fuel filter on my gas Surburban. On the tank side is the usual line/nut config but on the engine side is a wierd conn to a small short flex hose. At the end of the flex hose is a metal clip which I can remove but I don't know the trick to getting the thing off. Thanks for your help! Replies to this message: rlsharpe (Apr 25, 2005 6:01 am)
#69 of 944 fuel filter by richphillips Apr 01, 2005 (6:45 am)
On flex fuel vehicles (8th digit in the Vin is Z) it takes a special fuel filter disconnect tool. I ended up taking it to the dealer, and went back and quizzed the mechanic and the tool he used was a Kent Moore J 46363 fuel line disconnect tool, that looked like a pair of tweezers, with a tapered cone at the end, of each side of the blade. You put the cones around the fuel line, slide it up to release the spring and slide the fuel line out. I did a quick google and found another guy's answer on a bulletin board about how to get the tool. I've copied and pasted his comments below.   Here's the deal on the 2003 VIN (Z) (L59) fuel filter. I just changed mine. This topic may even relate to the 00-04 Z71's, but I know for sure 2003's. I also had to buy the fuel filter from GM. You will need a special tool as standard fuel line disconnects will not work. It's a $40 piece of plastic that looks like a fuel line disconnect however, it is different. I found the number in my Service Manual which I bought from Helm Inc. It's a "J-46363 Fuel Line Release Tool." Finding this tool is next to impossible. After many hours of searching the net I came up with this information and though it would be important to share. You can only buy it from this place. SPX Kent-Moore Tools You have to call the number and give them the tool # you want. Otherwise the dealer will have to change your filter for you as there is no other way to do it.   Good Luck, I'm due to change too.

Replying to: richphillips (Apr 01, 2005 6:45 am) Aaaaaamazing! Sounds alot like the $40 wrench I had to buy to seperate the fan clutch from the water pump on my '96 Z71! It seems to me they waste more money developing this new crap that justifies their overpriced shop fees and requirement for special tools. So did you purchase one (is it for rent?) or are you taking it to the shop? I found your site you refered to and requested price and availability. Thanks you were a great help even if I didn't like the answer! Can you say HACKSAW and HOSE CLAMP? Replies to this message: cbett1 (Apr 19, 2005 5:32 am)
