2008 Saturn Vue Owner Comments

problem #1

Nov 162017

Vue XR 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Water pump (W/P) showed leaks and tightened the mounting bolts, but did not fix problem (slowed up leak a little to about a gallon of coolant every 4 months) - Pump cannot reuse OEM bolts must have new bolts of equal/better torque rating or could shear the bolt head. Must remove engine mount to remove W/P pulley (slightly jack the engine block to hold in place while replacing W/P. Also, be careful adding coolant to reservoir - Various exposed electrical cables beneath the reservoir (I wrapped wires in 6inch water proof flex tape used for a water barrier when installing sliding glass doors to home)) I have no idea what Saturn engineers were thinking on this. Also, this may be causing the repeated corrosion on the black/Neg battery terminal which causes multiple BCM engine check failures. This Vue has a new transmission, Power Steering pump, rear exhaust vibration issue on start up and intermittent car door lock problems.
