#1 of 4 Cabin Air Filter by ggeeoo Nov 24, 2007 (5:28 pm)
This was not a great problem. I went to two dealers 1 in Costa mesa said the cabin filter for Buick Park Ultra 99 was 82.00 ,the buick dealer in Anaheim CA wanted 25.00 The Auto parts store boys wanted 40.00 but matched the 25.00 . Inside the package was install diagram and it was easy. There is a white door at the firewall three inches from the gas pedal. You pull on little door then you see a plastic tab pull it out comes the first filter original has metal mesh replacement does not the filter body has angle knotches so it can bend to clear the top of the gas pedal and a plastic screw body. The filter on top of the first slips down and pulls out. The third one the same alot of dust and ditrus comes out. Get the shop vac and clean the opening get the crevice tool clean it good. The new one slides in push it up ,then put the next one it, then the last, Close the little door after cleaning it ,I broke the bottom of the door so I took some duct tape and seal it great. Took about 30 minutes. I did use a length of clothes hanger wire about 8" with an "L" shape to catch the old filter and pull it out the plastic tab broke.
#2 of 4 Super Charger Pulley sized by ggeeoo Nov 24, 2007 (5:46 pm)
So I finished the Cabin Filter and installed the air filter in the engine. While I had the shop vac out I decided to vac the interior and the trunk and lifted the bonnet and another project the belt had come off the supercharger because the tesioner pully bearing sized and the plastic ABS pulley sheared off the bearing. It looks like a tork bolt holds it on any one ideas. Also a cut the belt off for fear of more problems leaving it on. Anyone have tips on the replacement of the supercharger serpentine belt? This is a 1999 Buick Park Ultra sedan

I took it to the "Boys" because it turned out to be three wobbly pulley wheels not one and while I was at it replaced the main serpentine belt and a wobbly pulley wheels. Oddly though I got better gas mileage when the supercharger was not attached by belt...Buy I have the power back. Buick Park Ultra 1999 the total cost labor and parts 475.00
