what's that website and/or name and phone number for your Daewoo dealer with the reasonably priced parts?
1. Is the POS button on the radio/CD the only way to control fade & balance?
2. Is it possible to set my own settings for the radio/CD equalizer and save it in one of the 4 memory buttons?
3. Does anyone have any problems with the climate control? it is either too hot or too cold. Have a rough time to keep it at a proper temperature without fiddling with it everytime. Any help would be appreciated
I only put between 6-7.5K a year on the car and it's basically my puttermobile. If you have trouble locating the necessary parts I strongly recommend a complete swap-out of the engine.

If I remember correctly there were two engines available at the time from this particular salvage dealer...located in Tenessee or Kentucky I think...maybe Arkansas. I can check if needed.
I took the 'younger' one at 16K for $900 and added in a complete 1 year warranty for another $150 I think. Turns out I didn't need it but felt right at the time. Shop did all the work for another $1K or so as I recall. $2K into a vehicle I had just bought for under $4K 6 months before seemed OK for my needs. It was my own stupidity about the original belt going anyway...I could easily have had the replacement done when my shop handled the vehicle inspection and service when it arrived from Pa. But that 72K Belt rating in the manual looked like I might get a year or two of my low mileage use before running into that expense.
Call me penny-wise and pound foolish.
Anywhoooo...thing runs like a top now although I can never get anything like the rated gas mileage on this thing unless I'm pure highway which is rare. It usually avgs. around 23 for my driving.
I figure I will keep this thing for quite a few years still. We'll see. Now my dash has started to come unglued at the defroster grill like a previous poster reported so I'm currently searching for the right super quick-acting adhesive. It has to be that kind as there's no room to do a proper glue down without removing the windshield.
Oh well, such is life.

Another symptom is that while in Park and changing gear to reverse - seems like it jumps and revs up a little.. In neutral - seems like low power, deceleration.
Also the check engine light comes on when this happens. Couple days later the check engine light is off and everything is fine.

If you are getting misfire in a Daewoo, 99% of the time it is clogged or bad fuel injectors. Get those cleaned professionally first (use a high pressure fuel injector cleaner can plugged directly into the fuel rail.
I am amazed that this car consumes no oil, none whatsoever. I used to have to put a couple of quarts into my Isuzu Axiom between changes.
Make sure when you do the timing belt service that you change the tensioner and rollers.
Sorry but I think you will need to visit a dealership still servicing these cars. I know the same thing happened to me with my Leganza and I took it to the dealer...simple thing really...don't usually need a tech...the gal service rep took care of it for me. If you try entering 4 digit combos offhand the unit will lock up after so many tries. If this happens you will need to remove the radio fuse from the panel under the dash, wait a few seconds and then replace it. Then you will get a reset and can try to enter the right code again.
She simply went down a list of codes on a sheet until she hit one that worked. Pain in the butt...but no way around it that I know of. If there is nothing within a reasonable driving distance, you still might be able to call a dealership still servicing Daewoos and explain the situation. Believe me, they are more than used to this.
Good Luck.

My leganza cdx 2001 has 60,600 miles and I am going to change the timing belt tomorrow. I also need to replace the gasket cover because it leaks oil, and its wiring as well due to oil leakage. I have been ordering Daewoo's parts from the dealer and take the parts to the mechanic who will normally charge me lower than the mechanic at the dealer ($70 an hour). My question is: Must I use ONLY Daewoo's parts? or Can I substitute the needed parts with other similar parts made by other companies? The problem with getting parts from Daewoo is that I must wait for one week because Daewoo only ships its parts once a week. Please advise. Thanks.

FYI the Isuzu vehicle with the same engine and timing belt issues has the same problems with the idler. Try and get the Isuzu updated idler for the timing belt for your replacement.
2. Lost coolant needs a simple diagnosis. You need to pressure the system with it cold and find out where the coolant is leaking. Any decent repair shop has the equipment and it should only cost the diagnosis fee.
2. guages going haywire. 2000 model year Lanoses had a major recall regarding the wire harness. The wire harness needs to be replaced. and since there was a recall you need to research how you can do it as part of the recall.. contact www.daewoous.com
Can You please help?
I decided to fix by myself and I did. My Daewoo works fine so far.
Draining pipe for A/C was filled with dust and something else, and water was going inside the car - passenger side. Under carpet on passenger side by the door are main cables for power train control and main harness. Carpet and all wires were wet and that caused stalling, fuel pump was shorted, gauges were crazy.
Position of draining pipe is under the hood on passenger side about 20” below windshield wiper. You need to clean that pipe first, and get water out. Also you need to dry carpet and foam and I taped wires and harness higher from first position. Check those wires if they are cut, I had one cut.
I am telling you all this in case if you have water inside, but it could be common problem with Daewoo. Also cut little draining pipe and make the hole bigger.

I maintain it properly and I am lucky in that my dealer is still open and parts were never in shortage. A lot of people in the USA got stranded when their dealers closed. For some reason in Canada we did not have this problem.
Most of the problems I have seen are with the Lanos model and mostly in the ones built during/after the daewoo bankruptcy. Not as many problems with pre 2000 model year.
The main issue with all daewoos so far has been replacing the timing belt and tensioner on time. And that is not a big deal unless of course, you have no dealer or parts to do it. Which is really pathetic in the US that customers were left stranded. I guess we have better laws here in Canada.
