Thanks DBUG

the shop said that the car is done and working well.    ( Here is what that said about the job.  it would seem that the person who put in the anti freeze Radiator must have cut the hose and bent up the after market cooler, which is the reason why it was leaking oil!!  So  being the i put the radiator without touching the oil hose or put any bends in the oil cooler.  now unknown to him is that i put the radiator and i did not put a bend or cut the hose, i was also working in the fround of the car and the oil i coming out towards the middle of the car.  when your shop starts to lie to you its time to move on.
Ps i did not tell him i put the radiator in>

thanks the the information on the oil Cooler Replaceent HOW2

THANKS

Sorry Zirk

it is the oil cooler in the V.  i read that one could put in an after market oil cooler (which looks like a baby radiator) in between the anti freeze radiator and the transmission radiator and since no one rejected this i was sure that this was the way to go.

hi and thanks for your for  inforation on the oil cooler.  As for the change out of the cooler i got the information in the seach maintenance guides for oil cooler change out and i e-mail the information to the shop.  yet, it would seem that the best way to go is with the original type oil cooler and to do the work myself.  i have not called the shop yet it is 10:08 am here i Boston now.  by 10:15 am i will call and ask for my money and car back and perhaps take it to the dealer. or do it myself how hard can it be, its just a matter of taking your time and following the information which is very clear on how to do it.

oh, my anti-freeze looks like mud

thanks for all your help.   (sorry for the spelling no autocorrect or spell check  )

hi, my 2000 catera, has been in the shop for the last two week, the auto shop guy can not seem to work  out how to attach the two hole's without them poping off due to oil pressure.  the old oil cooler was take out and the after marked cooler was attacted to the raditor, to which the two holes run to where the oil cooler was removed.  this is the area that the holes keep poping off.  anyone have any idea???

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / STARTER REMOVAL

« on: 16 May 2013, 20:04:02 »

  sorry i should have taken pictures but after being under the car for the last 6 hours off and on i findly got the starter to come out thought the bottom of the car.  there is about haft an inch of space to which it you take your time the starter will fall right out.  now i did try to take the top part of the engine mond off by the water reservoir. that was to much work.  so after finding out how to do this i put the old one back in nuts bolts wires and all back together.  to see if what happen was just by chance.  30 min's. and it was out.  as with anything knowing it was make it easy.  so it your starter gos try going under before you take apart the top.

( AS I SAID ONCE THE NUTS AND BOLTS ARE OFF TURN AND PUSH   THE STARTER  UP GENTLE UNTIL IT FALL OUT)
