    Written by: leo2009 on Jun 27, 2010 11:37:06 AM

    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.

    Did you turn the pulleys by hand before you put the new belt on, to verify that all of the bearings on the accessories were free to turn, and not wobbly or bad?

    Recently I was driving my 01' Daewoo Leganza and the serpentine belt must have got caught on something (needed a new belt, had shreds coming off) and got shredded to nothing all under the car. I had it towed to my house via AAA. Bought a new belt for it, installed it, now the car cranks but will not start. Any ideas?

    First, I appologize to everyone for this posting being so long, but hopefully it will save some other people the same headaches and a lot of unnecessary extra work. I owned a brand new 2001 SE, which was hit and damaged badly. I could not find all the needed sheet metal, so I found a 99 EX, with a blown engine. I bought that for $700 as opposed to 5 grand+ ...

    Written by: woobloos on Aug 6, 2008 1:31:43 PM

    I have a 2001 Daewoo Leganza. When starting the engine while cold, there is a loud vibrating noise. If I rev the engine, the noise stops. I can turn off the engine, turn it back on, and the noise is not there. I can drive the car around, turn engine off and on, the noise is not there. If the car sits for about 4 hrs. or overnight, the noise returns ... Read More

    Written by: rags83 on Feb 16, 2008 4:10:26 PM

    Probably already figured it out but your a.c. drainage valve gets clogged and backs up runs under the thick foam under your carpet on your passenger side. Can cause the wires to corrode and cause instrument cluster and ignition problems. If you cut the rubber drain hose about an inch up that should let it drain properly. Try to clean out the area around it while your at it. Hope that ... Read More

    One more question....I've read all the posts on this forum and it seems like I read somewhere that it's a good idea to replace the water pump when you have the timing belt replaced. I had my timing belt replaced at 60,000 miles but haven't replaced the water pump. Did I get it confused with one of the other Daewood autos or is this true? I now have 91,000 miles on ... Read More

    It sounds like your problem is the EGR valve. It stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve. It's for emissions and opens and closes depending on what the computer tells it and reburns harmful gasses. Because it is directly linked to the exhuast system it can get clogged with carbon deposits. I have taken mine off a few times, cleaned it with carborator cleaner, and had no problems. I have the same ... Read More

    In most areas where the Daewoo dealer is closing up, they are selling the new 2002 Leganza SE for around 65% of MSRP. In those other areas where the Dealer is still in business and performing warranty repairs and doing every thing they can to keep a customer, the new discounts are much less and the used retail is a bit higher. Here locally a 2001 SE sold for $9995 with ... Read More
