My Leganza needs HELP!!!!!!!

RhinoWrecker · Post by **RhinoWrecker** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 11:13 pm

It has probably been a month since my 2000 leganza had a head job, and now the oil light keeps dimming as if it wants to stay lit. I checked my oil and it is on the max mark. Another problem, I am having very weak acceleration whenever I idle from complete stops. Can someone pleaze help me????????

the oil light flicking thing was a problem on my old VW beetle... this could be either a bad oil pump, bad oil pressure sending unit or just your oil is too thin.

did that problem happen right after the head job?
did the acceleration issues appear after the head job?
did both problems occure at the same time?
any other issues associated with your engine?

run your engine...

open the hood while then engine is running...

look at the coolant fill box... is there oil inside or bubbles? open the lid and look inside to make sure you aren't confusing bubbles with frothing from the return lines... if you see either of these signs... go get a compression test at the place where you had the head job... and if it fails... make em change the gasket and fix it. that is like a worst case scenario (what i described) but it fits the symptoms. also try swapping out your oil pressure sending unit and be sure to check connections. good luck...

First of all, I thank all for your help.

I called my mechanic and he said that maybe the oil is dirty since the valves did bend and all that bad junk. So he recommended me changing the oil.

I was also thinking that it could be my transmission oil considering that I have not changed it in a year since I've had it. transmission filter is really hard to find in Texas.

I took the car to Auto Zone since the check engine light is also on and they said that it's the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors.

Can the sensors be a problem for the slow idle?

Yes, cam sensors can be responsible for bad idle, and they might have been damaged while your mechanic was working. Dirty engine oil and dirty transmission fluid have nothing to do with your bad idle, even though it is always a good idea to replace them. Depending on your driving technique, you may never have to replace the transmission fluid.

The cam sensors were recalled as a fire hazard and you can go into a dealer and get them replaced and an in-line fuse installed with no charge to you.

Really? How long ago was the recall? I guess i'll make a road trip to Austin Texas.

After checking the paperwork (I have a 2 inch thick folder with all my Daewoo information with services, recalls, reciepts, etc.) All cars in the USA Daewoo lineup to a certain VIN were recalled. I am holding the original recall paper in my hand.

Those numbers include:

Lanos (VIN 158465-715060)
Nubira (VIN 157058-778128, 998142-998146)
Leganza (VIN 105594-331911)

All cars within that range (like 95% of all Daewoos) are eligible for a cam sensor recall.

It doesn't matter if you are the first or tenth owner, you can legally get it done or you can sue them. If anyone needs, I may be able to get a copy of the recall bulletin to you since I'm sure that most of you are not the original buyers

and most original buyers didn't give enough of a damn to send the forwarding card to your address.

Well hey do you think you can send me a copy, it'll really help me out and save me $60 dollars

BosnianLanos · Post by **BosnianLanos** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 4:28 am

The recall info is for the CMP camshaft position sensors. Each Daewoo owner should have gotten a personalized card that you can take to the dealership. I now realize that my card has only my VIN number for my Lanos and sending it would be of no help. You can however write to Daewoo and ask them for your own personalized card and recall info. I will post the address tomorrow.

as long as the place that'll service daewoo's has the VIN numbers and cross reference his, then as long as his daewoo's VIN is included then they should be able to do it. i got my card but i didn't show it to the place i took it.
