Brake pads are pretty easy to change - just like most other GM cars, except my 98 had metric bolts on the calipers (GMs usaully have a torx). The only...
I'm not a graphics person either but I'm glad you found a way to express yourself. Good luck with your other mods but be careful, this is not a Honda Civic or...
Because of file space limitations for the Group, I will shortly be deleting some of the full-size photos. Please download anything you want for your own use...
I guess that I've become numb to what "other" cars act like - this car has never seemed to behave like anything else on the road and so I never throw out the...
i for one love my 99 cat ever since i bought her last year. ive had no problems what so ever. maybe im one of the lucky ones. At 55,175 she still runs like if...
Only two problems with my 2000 Catera, 1. Replaced MAF Sensor (Check Engine Light) 2. Camshaft Position Sensor (Stalled frequently)... Other than that its been...
My brake pad wear indicator light just came on. Checked front brakes and have about 3/8" pad left which is quite a bit. How much pad was left when your...
Well now that my '98 is approaching 50k, it looks like some of the common problems are starting to surface. I was wandering if anyone out there has attempted...
Since the weather in Florida is starting to warm up, and since we have only had the car since October, (it seems like a 100 yrs already, and I don't mean in a...
The oil cooler cover can be resealed if it is leaking coolant out of the engine block, but it must be replaced if the oil and coolant are exchanging. Either...
I've never had a footwell heat problem even in 100 degree weather. You may have a problem with your HVAC mixing doors that is causing the heater to continuosly...
Did they take the engine out to repair the seize? If so, when they did take it out, they might have removed insulation to stop engine exhaust heat from...
Could be actuator doors, but try this first. Turn on your AC and set both sides down to 60 degrees. Let run for a just abit and then hit the OFF button with...
When I have removed engines to fix them I have never found an insulation in the way that had to be removed. Chad ... From: "Jeffery" <tellurium156@...> ...
This is a good idea but most of the time AC cant cool the air more than the heater core can heat it up. If that didn't make since or to verify that the AC can...
Go to "files", and open up the "Catera TSB & Service Files" folder. There is text and digital pictures of the procedure.- A great contribution by a member of...
If your oil cooler is leaking coolant, would you see it under the car? I'm desperately trying to figure out where my coolant leak is coming from! Eric ... the...
Another popular leak is the water control valve for the heater. It usually is a significant leak. It will leak when the car is off and siting. You'll have to...
Already had that problem and fixed it - that one was DEFINATELY a leak because it was all over the ground - this one I have now is tricky, it's either being...
If coolant is finding it's way into the oil and being "burned off" there you will lose your engine bearings eventually. If you are loosing coolant level and...
Mase if your coolant isn't hitting the ground yet your oil cooler cover is probably leaking coolant outside the motor. It could also be a head gasket but more...
It looks a lot like chocolate milk - at least on the cap. I'm startin to get a rough idle now too. Is the oil cooler replacement something I should attempt on...
But how does the oil look on the dipstick? nice and thick (normal) and up to correct level? Sometimes coolant (in the oil) will increase the level over the...
Anybody can see if there is oil in the coolant. The coolant will have oil in it and the oil itself (doesn't matter what the cap looks like) will look like...
How much car repair experience do you have? I would say its not a newbie job. If you do try it go slow and have some service manuals or good directions....
