    I had a similar issue with my 2001 Lanos. I took it to a local car dealership and they replaced a cap that is under the reserve, for $45.00 and that fixed the problem. Remeber that Daewoo parts are interchangeable with other cars like the "Swift" or other small cars - so the cost should not be so high to repair minor details like this one.

    The air control knobs are not built all that strong. if you were to gain access to them you would see the clear plastic that they are made out of, and the mounts that crack on them. this allows the cable to come loose and prevent any movement. I was able to fix mine by removing them and drilling a couple of small holes and then using a thin piece of ... Read More

    Written by: Mr_Shiftright on Apr 3, 2010 4:01:04 PM

    Next time it won't start, someone needs to put a fuel pressure gauge on a T fitting into the fuel rail. Or a cheaper faster way might be to squirt some starting fluid into the air intake---if the engine kicks over, you have a fuel delivery problem. If it doesn't start, it's probably an ignition or sensor/module issue.

    Written by: daewoocrazy on Sep 13, 2009 8:27:39 PM

    I don't have a Nubira, mine is a Leganza. I think the motors may be similar. Oil may leak from the valve cover, but should not "spurt". Tightening probably won't help since the bolts should be torqued. (Leganza is 71 inch pounds--IMPORTANT). I would check crankcase ventilation hoses; looking for collapsed, soft or tightly bent hoses coming from the valve cover. If you do change the valve cover gasket, I have ... Read More
