Saturn Vue AC Compressor Bearing

Written by: stevej66 on Sep 21, 2009 08:39 AM

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue 2WD 3.0 V6 and the compressor pulley bearing is bad. Where can I get just the bearing or get a clutch assembly under $325. Does anyone know the KOYO Bearing # for this bearing. Thanks, Steve Read More...

Hi, You don't mention which engine/transmission you have but I'm going to take a wild guess: You have a 4 cylinder engine with the VTi transmission. The fluid they want you to add is called the VTi additive and GM said to put it in at the 50,000 mile mark. Its supposed to prolong the life of the transmission...it doesn't really work as this transmission was poorly ... Read More...

Just a few issues: In July 2009, I purchased a 2003 Saturn Vue from a dealership in Roseville, CA. There was no lighter in the car so the salesman gave us a "random" lighter and when we tried to use it apparently a fuse blew. The fuses we bought at Kragen did not work and according to my husband there is something "strange" about the wiring for the electrical system relating ... Read More...

Saturn VUE Won't Start

The Saturn service techs could not find out what caused the computer program glitch. I found by experimenting that removing the cars battery ground cable e.g. bolt and waiting a minute the computer system resets. Keeping my fingers crossed that it does not happen again. I caution anyone to avoid removing the ground cable from the cars battery. You have to reset ... Read More...

I've messed wit a lot of these newer gm cars and trucks in building street toys. Doesn't make me a mec-a-nic, but a couple of things I have learned: 1. All engine control and body control sensor grounds run through the sensor into the ECM/PCM/BCM (computer) and then to ground. 2. When and if there is a bad or loose or insufficient ground, the gauges and some time lights ... Read More...

2003 Saturn Vue Low RPM's With AC On

Written by: missyj1 on Apr 21, 2009 06:54 PM

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue (2.2 L) 5 speed, 2wd. About 2 months ago, we started having a problem whereby the A/C would stall the car completely if it was at a stop. If we were moving, it was fine but you could tell it was dragging. We took it to the Saturn dealer and they hooked it up to their computer and it came back as the catalytic converter so we had it replaced. I got it back ... Read More...
