How to Set Clock

Written by: ulul54 on Jan 12, 2008 06:34 AM

I've recently purchased a 2000 Chevy Metro LSI 2 door hatchback with 4 cyl automatic & 68K miles. Love the car but can't figure out how to set the clock on the factory am/fm stereo radio. The owner's manual is absolutely no help, since there are no labeled buttons on it that indicate "hours", "minutes" or "set". Can anyone out there help? Thanx. Read More...

Geo Metro and Chevy Sprint mpg

Written by: lindav on Jan 11, 2008 09:10 PM

Just one girl's experience: Back in the day, I drove an 89 Chevy Sprint for 11 years, a three cylinder, manual transmission with air conditioning. I regularly got 54 to 56 mpg, down to 48 if I used the AC. Really needed this vehicle at that time, because my daily commute was 122 mi. Sometimes got 400 miles per fill-up. Recently had a career change that will soon require ... Read More...

the air conditioner compressor has a bearing in the pully wheel that can wear out and they do. when this happens it will lock down motor unless the belt is removed. the starter can be over heated and destroyed by trying to get the motor to turm over when it will not. any thing over about 9 seconds or continually trying it with out sufficent cooldown between tries{about ...

Air Conditioning Compressor 2000 Chevy Geo Metro

Written by: sduebametro on Jun 14, 2007 02:01 PM

My car wouldn't start and was making a loud scary noise. I had it towed to a dealership. They said that my air conditionoing compressor broke and that I can just remove the system to bypass it....it has locked up my engine. In the meantime, all of my attempts to start it before I had it towed apparently damaged the starter. Does this sound legit? This all happened after ... Read More...

It does have air conditioning but I dont use it. Is the air conditioner killing my gas mileage, or do you think that I have something wrong with my engine that needs to be repaired? ... Read More...
