#16 of 20 Saturn Overheating by malessia

I am the proud owner of a 1997 4dr SL. I have replace the thermostate, radiator, water pump, and heater coil. Still, I overheat per the gauge 3 or 4 times in a 25 mile stretch. The gauge reads in the read a while and then theres some noise and it cools down. I also do not have heat. Yes, again I have change the thermostate twice. I am good on my antifreez. I am out of ideas.PLEASE HELP.

Water pump is easy...work on it through the pass front wheel well...comes off with 5 bolts...do not need to remove timing chain cover...just the belt & belt tensioner...no special techniques or tools...USE A TORQUE WRENCH...good Luck

#20 of 20 Saturn doesn't like the oil I'm feeding it. It comes back up. by timtari

Dec 20, 2009 (3:08 pm)

My son has a 1998 saturn sl. I went' to check the oil in it and it needed about 11/2 Qts. I poured the oil into the oil fill and it won't go down. It stays in top end. Can the oil ports be plugged? It has sat for a day and a half and hasn't changed. He has been having problems with the valve cover gasket leaking,could it be building up pressure because it won't drain to the oil pan. Duh!!!
I haven't seen this before but I'm no mechanic. Please help !!!! I would appreciate it very much. Thanks Tim
