    I need step by step instructions on how to replace the starter solenoid on a 1994 Buick LeSabre?How to replace the solenoid on a 1994 Buick LeSabre?pull the starter, remove the one bolt holding the last wire that goes to the starter motor, pull the two screws out that hold the solenoid to the starter. twist the solenoid and slide it off. installation is pretty much reverse order.

    03 Buick LeSabre is making a loud rough noise seems to be coming from under the driver's side?

    Someone mentioned could be a wheel bearing or trans bearing. Noise is directly under driver's side and gets louder the faster I go.03 Buick LeSabre is making a loud rough noise seems to be coming from under the driver's side?it does sound like a wheel bearing. A wheel bearing noise is often described as a roaring noise. A bearing often will get louder when making a turn at speed in one direction and quieter in the other direction. Make sure you have a safe place to check that because you will be swerving back and forth.

    1992 buick roadmaster 5.7 runs hot when pulling hills fan clutch has been replaced?

    I have noticed a small seep of anti freeze from the front of the intake.Radiator seems to be circulating good.Any one having had this problem and was able to fix it.1992 buick roadmaster 5.7 runs hot when pulling hills fan clutch has been replaced?at the front of the intake, is where the uupper hose connects to the thermostat housing. you may have a loose radiator clamp at that junction might. try tighting the clamp on the upper hose, at the housing. with you loosing temp. pressure, your thermostat will not regulate the water temp. properly. be sure that you have your anyifreeze, and water in the radiator mixed properly, 50/50, half water, half antifreeze. also , be sure you have a good 5/30 sae motor oil in the ctrankcase. I would start with the upper hose at the thermo. housing. good luck!!1992 buick roadmaster 5.7 runs hot when pulling hills fan clutch has been replaced?any seep is a bad sign, where antifreeze leaks out air enters, and air heats faster than water your coolant is likely becoming airated, shake a water bottle up this is airation but coolant reatains the bubbles better, it may be a thrmostat gasket (o ring) replace the O ring seal make sure you clean the surfaces, and refill. a presure test wouldn't hurt either.

    1998 buick lesabre custom 3.8 wont start i took the starter to oreillys its bad got a new one still made same?

    noise got a bigger battery still making the same cllicking noise what else could be the problem?1998 buick lesabre custom 3.8 wont start i took the starter to oreillys its bad got a new one still made same?If its making a clicking noise ever time you try to turn the car over, you have a problem wioth either the starter, battery, alternator or igintion and electrical wiring. Did you install the starter correctly and make sure everything is tight? CLicking usally have something to do with the selonid in the starter or a bad battery. Is the bigger battery new? you could have possibly two bad batteries. Lastly you may have a bad alternator or selonid in the alternator.

    try jump starting the car as well.1998 buick lesabre custom 3.8 wont start i took the starter to oreillys its bad got a new one still made same?Try cleaning the insides of your battery cable terminals. A dark gray color indicates oxidation that can severely inhibit current flow from the battery to the starter motor.



    Get a battery brush at any auto parts store and use this to clean all surfaces that mate up to the battery posts. Clean the battery posts as well, tighten the terminals and start the vehicle.



    Note: If you've been trying to start the vehicle for a while you may need to charge your battery prior to starting.

    1989 Buick Century Custom bogs down when accelerating?

    I changed the fuel filter, air filter, plugs, plug wires, Distributorless system, changed the coil, changed the tranny filter and fluid. Still bogs down when pressing the accelerator, Idles fine once started, but can take a bit to get it started. Any Ideas out there?1989 Buick Century Custom bogs down when accelerating?You seem to know a good bit, so I'm going to throw some advanced ideas your way (as well as a few other simple ones).



    1) Check the throttle cable tension.

    2) Change the O2 sensors.

    3) Change the MAF sensor.

    4) Check fuel pressure (bad pump).

    5) Change the fuel injectors.

    6) Check throttle body operation.

    7) Have the catalytic converter replaced.

    8) Run a compression test.

    9) Change the ECU.1989 Buick Century Custom bogs down when accelerating?Check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge.



    My bet...low fuel pressure,bad fuel pump.1989 Buick Century Custom bogs down when accelerating?REPLACE THE I.A.C.MOTOR. THE IAC.MOTOR STANDS FOR IDLE AIR CONTROL. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THIS VALVE CLOSES, SLIGHTLY TO GIVE THE ENGINE MORE INRICHMENT, OR MORE POWER. THIS VALVE ALSO, AT COLD MORNING STARTS, ACT AS THE OLD BUTTERFLY, ON A CARB. ENGINE. IT SHUTS OFF ALL THE OUTSIDE AIR, AND GOES FULL INRICHMENT, FOR QUICK START UP. CHANGE THE I.A.C., AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BRAND NEW 89, BACK. GOOD LUCK BUD!!!!1989 Buick Century Custom bogs down when accelerating?
    If its a 3.3L, there a 2 big things to check. First fuel pressure. Key on engine off spec if 40 -47 Psi. Second, the IAC could be a concern. Had one happen to me, held the gas to the floor just to bring the engine to any RPM.

That will give you a good gauge of the market. There will be plenty of ads for Skylarks, and their GM sisters (Chevelle, LeMans, Cutlass), so it will be a good way to figure it out.

    2008 ALLDATA LLC.How many labor hours listed to replace heater core on 03 Buick Century V6 and is it a knuckle scraping job.?Myself I think that make of car is not too bad to do but I bet the book states at least 6 to 9 hrs . Personally I think most heater cores are a pain to replace but for me I've found a do it yourself auto wreckers helps me alot bec it offeres the chance to actually learn just how a certain dash etc comes a part hands on.

    On my car for example its a Intrepid , I had to take a part 3 different Intrepids dashs just to even find one really good heater core. But to be safe I had it pressured tested and tested over night to make sure it was in fact a good heater core for 15.00.It turned out it was the best used heatcore the wreckers I took the heat core to have tested that they had ever seen.

    I knew the job wou;d be a real pain bec of the experience taking a few out so I looked around and waited till I found a cheap garage father son that did it for me as I was on vacation and the weather was getting coller and I had no time to do it myself.

    They said they'd never do one again unless paid triple lol was in fact I was right to let someonelse to the job lol

    Only problem was I knew they'd crack something or forget to connect something or mess something up. In fact they did all 3 boo boo's lol but the book states 9 hrs for that job, that's at least 1,000 all in all at alot of shops and at least 600.00 min, and I got it done for 200.00 and in fact most shops wouldn't even dare to attempt the job.



    Hope that helps and best of luck , by the way don't forget to reconnect the radio, antenna etc lol

    Do i need to replace the control module on a 1995 Buick Regal?

    The car will start good in the mornings, but once i turn of the car, if i try to restart i'll just here the ignition going but no engine start up. It feels like if a ran out of gas and pump and pump but no start. After 2 to 3 hours later once it cools down it starts buck up like if nothing happenned. What should i do?Do i need to replace the control module on a 1995 Buick Regal?The problem with pumping the gas pedal is that it turns off the fuel. When you floor the gas while starting it, the computer shuts off the fuel. This is a feature used to purge fuel from the cylinders in case of flooding. On fuel injected cars, don't press the gas when starting.



    Intermittent problems are hard to diagnose. But check for the basics first - fuel, air, and spark.Do i need to replace the control module on a 1995 Buick Regal?This could be cause by a number of things, is the check engine light on? It could be a bad tank of gas, fuel pump going out, fuel filter. I would have it checked out before you find yourself left in the cold.Do i need to replace the control module on a 1995 Buick Regal?I'm willing to bet it's your ignition switch. Or it might be a dead tempature switch that controls the coldstart valve.

    burning excessive oil. took it to Firestone who told me that I had a loose lifter.How much should it cost to replace lifters on a 1999 Buick Century?mmmmm..... please do me a favor and don't take it to firestone they will over charge BIG TIME!!! for a 3.1 the lifters are about 15 bucks and lavor about 65 bet anything at firestone it was 3 times that right....How much should it cost to replace lifters on a 1999 Buick Century?
    If you have been taking your car to Firestone for oil changes, I feel sorry for you. Most places that change oil use the cheapest bulk oil available to make more money. What I suspect has happened is that the oil that was used in your engine was so low quality (like QS oil) that sludge has formed and baked into your piston rings, valve lifters, and valve seals. The cure is to have the engine completely motor flushed with butyl cellosolve, which dissolves all these unwanted deposits, and returns the engine to good working order. Then, install Mobil One. Have this changed after 3 months, and then wait a year to change it again. You can test the engine for presence of sludge by removing your oil filler cap and flipping it over. If it is coated with a dark waxy or black flaky deposit that you can scrape with your fingernail, the whole inside of your engine will look EXACTLY like this. Imagine this junk living on your piston rings and inside your lifters!!! A good engine flush should dispose of these deposits. E-mail me back for the best procedure! Good Luck! P.S. Lifters make noise because they are full of blockage, not because they have worn out!!!How much should it cost to replace lifters on a 1999 Buick Century?lol lol lol Your getting scammed. no such thing as a loose lifter. Worn yes, but that wouldn't cause excessive oil consumption.



    Bad rings could cause that, leaking gasket could cause that, valve seals could cause that, in certain cases a blown head gasket could cause that.





    You are being scammed. I hope you got that quote in writing.How much should it cost to replace lifters on a 1999 Buick Century?

    How would I fix my rear windows on a 1998 Buick Century?

    They broke a while back and I have been manually pushing them up/down. Now one of them has gotten stuck down, and I can't figure out how to get it back up.How would I fix my rear windows on a 1998 Buick Century?Well, if they are electrically powered windows, which I assume they would be you'd need to take the inside door panels off. Then after you take the inside door panels off you need to test the electric window motors. Make sure all of the wiring connections to the motors and window switches are making good contact and try powering the window up and down to see if they are bad. If they are, go online and see about purchasing new electric window motors. Ebay usually sells them for pretty cheap. Try finding a cheap OEM unit if you can, they should work better. Before attempting to replace the window motors its a good idea to have a friend handy. If you don't have a friend handy, at least get some soft rubber ended wood clamps to hold the window up in the position you need.



    Most electric windows have a spring to help lift the window up. And there are also usually some rivets or bolts or pins you have to remove to remove the old window motor. The rivots can be hard to remove. But if you have a high speed Dremel tool it is much easier. The small gringing wheel allows you to get inside the door and pop the rivot out easier. Some people drill through the rivots. I found that is really difficult especially since the rivots are usually hardened and if the drill bit catches wrong you are bound for some pain.



    You'll probably need a cheap hand rivot gun to install the new motors. And you may need a friend to compress the spring to place the rivots back on. Then it is a matter of lining everything back up in the door. Making sure the new motor works (probably a good idea to do BEFORE you install it). And then making adjustments to ensure the window goes all the way up. The latter stages where you are putting it back together is where a friend really comes in handy. Then put your interior door panel back on and you're all ready to go.

    My car a 94 buick skylark is overheating and leaking water from the radiator cap. Is there a head gasket stop?

    a leak that works better than others. I just need the car to run for about 2 more months I am not interested in fixing the head gasket because i would like to get a new car b4 the winter. I have already replaced the thermostat water pump and radiator cap.My car a 94 buick skylark is overheating and leaking water from the radiator cap. Is there a head gasket stop?Usually a head gasket leak will reveal itself by having oily frothy gunk in the radiator fluid. Also check for white calcium like deposits around the engine. A clogged radiator or engine is a possibility especially if you have been using some kind of stop leak. You could have a pressure test on the radiator done. This would clarify if there is a blockage or maybe even break it up though not likely to clear it. Not a bad car may be worth fixing. I don't buy from dealers. The old honesty joke and they usually charge 3 times the actual value of the vehicle.My car a 94 buick skylark is overheating and leaking water from the radiator cap. Is there a head gasket stop?Sounds like it's clogged to be honest.

    When your gasket blows, usually water goes into your engine, but that's my own experience, I'm no expert.My car a 94 buick skylark is overheating and leaking water from the radiator cap. Is there a head gasket stop?probably needs a new radiator

  • I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?

    Tried for 2 hours, had to get battery jumped several times from trying so much. Does anyone have an idea what it could be and how to fix it? Money is of course very short this time of year. Please help.I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?More than likely something in your fuel system is clogged (filters, injectors, etc.). Anytime you run a vehicle out of fuel is a bad thing as there is often rust particles, sludge, water, etc. in the bottom of the tank that gets sucked into your system. You can try filling to half tank or better in an attempt to get fuel past if there's not much in there now, but more than likely you're going to end up having to pull filters, pump, and injectors to clean all of them.



    Also, cranking the engine over and over with no result is pointless, you're just causing damage at that point and have shortened the life of the battery (lead acid car batteries have plates in them, when you continuously charge and discharge the battery as you've been doing it causes the plates to warp and deteriorate more quickly).I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?
    If you have a car with fuel injection, you should never allow it to run out of gas. Ruins it.I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?i always tell everyone . it costs the same to run on 1/2 tank as empty...you still use same amount daily



    that said sometimes the injectors get air-bound

    2 did you put enough gas in it? 1 or 2 gallons is often not enough
    maybe there is a hole in the line connecting the gas tank to the engine so its not geting enough gas to start either that or some one messed up your wiringI have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail on the engine first if no pressure it could have taken out the fuel pump by dry running.the impeller on the fuel pump in the tank is plastic and can get hot when run dry.. good luck, markI have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?
    The Buick has an electric fuel pump, turn the key on for a few minutes and then crank it over. Just takes a little time to get fuel back in the lines.
    You need new injectors and a filter.I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last night I ran out of gas, after getting gas the car will not start? ?
    Fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel they pump believe it or not, when your low an gas an your running on fumes your fuel pump is pumping air not liquid. So it probably overheated
    Open your gas cap and have someone turn the ignition to the on position and listen for a 2 second buzz from the gas tank and if you don't hear it then the fuel pump is cooked..
    the same thing happened to my mom when she ran out of gas on her 2001 chevy cavalier. i did some testing and found out that the fuel pump burned out because she ran it dry. so i had to replace the fuel pump.

    an easy way that i did to find out was, i took out the fuel filter, which is outside underneath the car, poured all the gas out of it, installed it back in, tried to start the car again, checked the fuel filter again, it was dry. which means that no fuel was going to it, which means the fuel pump was not working. since all my fuses and relays tested good, i figured it was the pump.
    That's the problem of running out of gas. They're hard to get started again. I put my hand over the throttle body opening on a Ford focus that wouldn't start(it started). Gas is really hard to get up to the injectors(after you run out of gas). Another thing I would do if I were you is to replace the fuel filter. Then when all this is ready,spray some starter fluid in the throttle body opening and get it going little by little. Good luck.

You shut off the auto leveling anytime you have to jack the car up) If the switch is on, then check your fuses.

    Drove home and it was fine the next morning i crank the vehicle and no blower..i checked all the fuses under rear seat,on dash and under hood and no problem of course none said heater blower either but were is the hi/low blower relay located? could this be the problem?Why is my 1997 buick riviera heater blower not working?if it works on high only then its the blower relay, if it doesnt work at all then check for power and ground at the motor, if power and ground are present then the motor is defective, chances are the wiring is fine and switches rarely go bad on all speeds, don't bother with any other fuses, this circuit runs off a breakerWhy is my 1997 buick riviera heater blower not working?the blower motor may have failed, or the control switch may have failed, or a wiring problem. If the switch has too much resistance, it may not function or may not have variable speed etc...

If it spins, look elsewhere, if not, it's the motor.Why is my 1997 buick riviera heater blower not working?The fuse box that contains the heater blower fuse is located in the front console by the passenger's foot.

    How do I disconnect the rev limiter on my 1998 Buick Lesabre?

    Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?

    We have only ever used Drex-cool (sp?) (Pinkish orange fluid) coolant. I had a dealership top off with a blended dark green liquid and my car over heated and the liquid is now all over my driveway.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?Dark green antifreeze is *not compatible with with Dexcool. Mixing these two types will form a brown muddy mess in the cooling system which reduces cooling efficiency.



    If a GM or any other new car dealer mixed green antifreeze with Dexcool, they should cover all expensences of having your system drained, flushed and cleaned.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?
    GM has had considerable trouble with Dex-Cool. Probably why there is a problem now. Your 2003 coolant should have been completely replaced at least twice by now.



    Prestone makes a Dex-Cool product for GM vehicles.



    Have a GM product with Dex-Cool, as do some friends. We have all experienced some problems and have all converted over to Prestone All Makes, All Colors, All Types, green coolant, in the yellow container.



    If yours has been replaced and tap water was used instead of distilled or de-mineralized water to accomplish the 50/50 mix - then also expect trouble.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?normally, any U.S. vehicle doesn't`t allow the use of any other types of coolant use besides the type mentioned on the owners manual, same with our old 2000 dodge caravan, it said not to use any pother types of coolants besides a certain type. So we never dared to try and blended, anyway, check out your owners manual.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?
    get the complete cooling system flushed out and either go with your dex-cool only or go with the old green style antifreeze only, dex-cool has been known to eat away at the head and intake gaskets.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?check the coolant directions on the container. Need to address over heating problem, could be fans not coming on when engine is shut off.Can you add other blends of coolant to a 2003 buick?

    Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?

    Buick is pointless, the average owner's age is like 70. Why keep Buick around as there is no salvaging that brand like they did Cadillac?Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?Buick is doing great. Look at the new Enclave. That car had over 8500 orders before its dealer debut. Plus, Buick really is not a large auto group; it is mostly sold at dealers that sell GMC's and Pontiac's.



    Saab on the other hand should really be sold. It seems as if GM has just put them aside and waited for them to rot. The 9-3 is good, but it is slow, unreliable, and somewhat expensive. The 9-5 is ugly, expenisve, does not use top-notch materials, and has an I-4 Engine in the class of V6's, and some V8's. It is okay to use the components of one car to make another if it is a good car to start, but when you take a subpar Chevrolet Trailblazer and put a Saab Logo on it and slap an extra $15,000 to the price tag, it will be bad. That is sadly what GM did to the 9-7x.



    In other words, Saab is a helpless case, but Buick is doing pretty good. Their Three Models all share components with other cars and do not need a separate factory. plus, they are booming in Asia. Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?GM is following the example set by the Samurai warriors and falling on its own sword.

    Saab would be better off if GM sold it, but I think they are too far gone to be saved, even with Subaru's help.

    If they are not, what's the difference from both vehicles?Is the 1987 Buick Regal the same as the 1987 Buick Grand National?No, the Regal had a stock 231 V-6. The Grand Nat had a reworked 231 with a large turbo plus they only came in the color Black.Is the 1987 Buick Regal the same as the 1987 Buick Grand National?The grand national is based on the regal, it has the same chassis %26amp; sheet metal, but it has a reworked engine, transmission, suspension %26amp; brakes, you could describe it as a factory hot rod.

  • What grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?

    Will I really be able to tell the difference?What grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?Premium. The Grand National has a turbocharged engine. I'm sure it says "Premium unleaded only" on the gauge cluster.

    Edit: Look on the gas gauge itself, It says "Premium fuel"What grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?
    in 1987 they were only equipped with a 3.8L Turbo V6. They don't require Premium but recommend Mid-Grade fuels, but I would recommend running good fuel in it to make it run stronger, longer. Best of luckWhat grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?regularWhat grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?
    The best possible. No, you won't be able to tell the difference, because you aren't inside your engine. Your engine will feel the difference after many miles though. Low grade fuel won't burn as well, and could produce engine knock, and at that point you will notice.What grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?what engineWhat grade of gas should I put in my 1987 buick regal grand national?

    My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?

    I have a 1990 Buick Century that is in excellent condition. Due to a very stupid error on my part, I haven't changed the serpentine belt for some time. The belt snapped this afternoon and I replaced it, which I have done before as routine maintenance. Now, the car turns over, but refuses to start. I have checked to make certain the compressor, alternator and other significant parts are working correctly and everything appears to be functioning. Can anyone think of a reason the car might not start? Thank you in advance!My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?Your problem is likely the crankshaft position sensor or the wiring harness leading to it. The sensor on your engine is mounted on a bracket near the harmonic balancer. The belt when it broke may have moved the sensor out of position or damaged the wiring to it.My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?
    Check your plugs, is there fuel on them? Check your spark at the plugs! Does the engine sound funny when you try to start it? If the timing belt broke, the engine will spin over MUCH faster than normal and will sound like there is no resistance to it 鈥hich there is not anymore if the belt broke.

    I know that the belt that you replaced is not related to the timing belt, but it could be that when the drive belt broke it also broke the timing belt, or caused the chain to jump a tooth on the gear. If the timing if off to much it will not start!

    Good luck!My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?the serpentine belt has nothing to do with the timing of the motor. Not to make you feel dumb or anything is there gas in it? You would be amazed how many people overlook that. There is really no reason that belt would make your motor not start
    %26gt;%26gt; The belt snapped this afternoon and I replaced it,



    Did you replace it correctly? Is the belt on in correct order? I only ask because it was broken you didn't have any example to see what it WAS like.





    good Luck...My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?Try checking your battery connections if you haven't already. They only need to be a tiny bit loose to cause problems. Also try checking the water in the battery if it gets low it can ruin your battery. My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?
    was the car running when it was broke?

    the belt is often also a timing belt.. .and if the car was running you may need to get the timing reset on it... that can cause it to not start...



    shouldn't be too expensive to fix the timing




    Look for the crank sensor, if the serp belt broke, likely it hit the sensor enough to misalign it, or broke it completely. Common when the belt breaks and slaps against anything in the way!!.My Buick Century won't start after replacing the serpentine belt. Does anyone have a theory?
    is a v6?



    check for spark. check for fuel. the belt may have hit the crank sensor when is snapped. U will have a crank sensor only if your car is distributor less.



    Good luck
    Timing marks off line them up and it should start.
    check the battery .

    Check all of the vacuum lines.



    Look under the hood for rubber or plastic hoses that connect to the manifold. There will usually be a large number of them connected together like branches of a tree.



    The vehicle operates on vacuum provided by the engine, produced when the cylinders move. The climate control vent system is entirely controlled by vacuum.



    The engine controls are also controlled by vacuum, and if one of the larger hoses is loose/cracked etc, your engine may run rough, or not at all.



    Start the engine, and listen very carefully for a hissing sound, and track it down. You can buy the hose at any auto parts store for a few dollars.What would cause the automatic climate controls on a 1995 Buick Lesabre to just quit working?old ageWhat would cause the automatic climate controls on a 1995 Buick Lesabre to just quit working?

    Does Buick give some benefits that are only available for old people?Why do old people who have gray hair tend to buy Buick cars?Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and GMC all all divisions of General Motors. In order to prevent sales of Chevy cars taking away sales from Pontiac, or something similar, they market each brand towards different people. Pontiac is marketed as the 'performance' brand. Buick is specifically aimed towards the AARP set. Plus, Buick was a very big name back in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, so a lot of people feel nostalgic about the brand name.Why do old people who have gray hair tend to buy Buick cars?

  • What are the differences between the cadillac fleetwood and buick roadmaster?

    Is the trunk alot smaller in the roadmaster? The roadmaster has 3 point lumbar support on the front seats and are heated like the fleetwood? and what is the weight of the roadmaster, and the size/legnth and width of it. Can the roadmaster come with a towing package? if so how much can it tow, how much cubic feet of space is in the interior of the roadmaster and how much is in the fleetwood brougham. are there any features that one car has that the other doesn't? if so what are they? Is the wheel base size/legnth the same, and are the tires the same size. this question is for the 1993-1996 models. and is the 1991 and 1992 the same shape as the 1993-1996 models?What are the differences between the cadillac fleetwood and buick roadmaster?The two cars are pretty much on the same platform as they have been for 60 years. The main difference between the two is engines and external sheet metal. All the rest is interchangeable I am sure that whenever they built a Buick or Cadillac, towing was probably the last thing on the designers mind. I am not even sure if they will have any specs for such. You can get the same options as a Cadillac so what each car will have is up to the person who originally bought it.What are the differences between the cadillac fleetwood and buick roadmaster?The fleetwood is on a "D" body whjch is longer than the roadmaster. The Roadmaster, Caprice and Impala SS are all "B" bodies. This is for 1991-1996 and of course the Impala SS was only made from 1994-1996. For more info check out www.impalassforum.com it has sections on the FW and Roadmaster

    From 94-96 they shared a lot of component including LT1 engine 4L60E Transmiision

    I am 27 years old and I really like the 2010 Buick Lacrosse. Do you think that car is too mature for me?

    I am looking to purchase another car in May by then I will be 28. I really like that it looks high class but on a mid-level price. I have two children and I thought it would be perfect for them with room and comfort. I know Buick's vehicles have been known to be granny cars so that's why I am asking for your opinons but the car is gorgeous.I am 27 years old and I really like the 2010 Buick Lacrosse.

    If you love the car, buy it.

    How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?

    Ok so i got a buddy who needs his front driver side strut replaced on his 01 Century, i'm state cert. to work on suspension systems, what would be a reasonable price for labor?

    Note: I'm not a mechanic, im doing this out of my garage.How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?"Bulldog" is correct. Change them in pairs and an alignment is required or you might be soon buying tires. Under $300 for a pair of struts installed and an alignment.How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?
    Average charge in my area,is $212 for both.Remember,if you only replace one shock or strut,there is no warranty.This applies with ALL manufacturers of shocks and struts.Furtermore,whenever there is a shock or strut change,an alignment MUST be performed,because if not,this change will eventually tear the front end apart,putting stress on steering and suspension parts.Remember to replace the bearing and plate too.How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?First of all, the struts must be replaced in pairs; not doing so may cause suspension problems. For the pricing, call around to some repair places, get their prices for replacement / installation, then go from their, deducting the cost of the struts "]How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?
    Every Mechanic shop rates are different, Best thing to do is call around for a good shop. My guess would be $80-$100 hour. Looking 2.5 hours. Best to replace both front struts.



    Good Luck.How much to charge for replacing MacPherson strut on Buick Century?hey ill do it for $75 and itll take 40 minutes, and oh yeah capitalism at its best

    Can someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?

    I have a 93 Buick Regal and the Tail lights will not work, the turn signals work fine, even the stop light on the trunk lid. I have changed the bulbs and still nothing. My turn lever on the steering is alittle wore out, to get the turns to work, I pull it down and pull in just alittle, then they work. Could this have anything to do with the tail lights not working, or is it a short somewhere?Can someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?Tail lights are on a different circuit than brake and turn signals.



    Do your front and side markers work?



    Either blown fuse, bad switch, or bad relay.



    It's tough to say which one........Sorry.

    Check the easy things first.Can someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?
    try fixing the lights and the fuseCan someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?check the switch on the brake pedalCan someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?
    i check see if you have a bad fuse. then if not. then its a short in the wires.Can someone help with a 93 Buick Regal Tail light problem?There is a short or a ground issue. Get a Chilton's Manuel from your local auto parts and pull the schematic. There you will find where the lights are grounded. Sometimes moisture will corrode the connection and effect the tail lights. Also there is a brake light switch that is between the brake pedal and the colum. There may be a short there also.

    How do you remove the radio from a 1994 Buick Park Avenue?

    I've got the dash and whatnot all removed and got all the screws out the the radio. But I tried to pull it out and it wouldn't move. There are these little screw looking things in the casing of the radio that seem don't have a head to unscrew, or pop out. What do I do?How do you remove the radio from a 1994 Buick Park Avenue?If you can't figure it out take it down to any audio place beside Bestbuy and they will remove it for you for like 10-15 bucks. I had this same problem with an old jeep of my dads. We couldn't get the stereo out to replace it with a aftermarket one. I was about ten second away from strong arming it out or bashing it out, but we just took it into a stereo place and he help us take it out for 12 bucks! We went to best buy and they wanted to charge us full price for install which was 55 dollars!!! I know my answers isn't going to give you a step by step on how to do it yourself, but if your run out options, try the audio places they will help you out better than you expected them too. Sometimes if it really easy they will do it right there for free!

  • How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?

    I thought there is some sensor connected to the tire that measured the perssure. But there wasn't or maybe it was missing!

    This indicator stays on forever. There was a reset button for it in the fuse box, but it did not do anything.

    Any idea?How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?The computer calculates the low tire pressure by the wheel speed sensor. Speed sensors are on each wheel of this model and are also used for antilock brakes. The sensor is mounted in the wheel hub/bearing assembly. It calculates it by counting numbers of wheel rotation. A low tire turns at a different speed(more revolutions) than the others.

    If your antilock brake light is on due to a broken circuit in the sensors your tire pressure monitor will not reset.How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?
    I`ve been trying to figure that one out for years.I`ll check back to see if any body else knows.How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?Did you actually check your tire pressure or did you just try to reset the system?



    The system on that car does not measure tire pressure at all. It measures the number of times the wheels rotate using the ABS/Wheel Speed sensors, not a pressure sensor inside the tire and wheel assembly. If one or more tires is over or under-inflated, if you have one or more tires on the car that are the wrong size or if you have tires of mis-matched brands or dramatically different amounts of wear that can set off the system.



    Check all your tire pressures when the tires are cold - preferably in the morning and before you do any driving. Make sure the pressures are set to exact what it says on the Vehicle Information Tag inside the drivers door frame (30 psi front and rear), then check to make sure all the tires are the correct size (P205/70R15 95S) and have similar amounts of wear.



    Now you can reset the system following the procedures in the owners manual.How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?
    The sensor is inside the tire, it's part of the rim. If it isn't working then it could either be the sensor or the electrical coupling to the rest of the car. Since the tire rotates, there is no wire going to the tire, the sensor transmits a signal either via radio or by a magnetic pickup on the suspension.



    The possibilities are the sensor is damaged (by an incompetent mechanic when replacing/rotating the tire), or the pickup is malfunctioning. It's also possible there is a wiring fault somewhere between the wheel and the vehicle computer.How does "Low Tire" indicator work in Buick Century `99?Some cars have the sensor in the valve stem. It reads the tire pressure and sends the signal to the computer. That's why some dealers will tell you that you have to use the same stems if putting on new wheels. Not sure if the Buick works this way.
