Thanks
my girl has a Nubria CDX 1.8ltr 2003 just out of warranty and we are having the following problems.
1) the alarm once set with the key fob beeps twice as normal but then a further 5 times in succession and the battery goes flat overnight.
2) her fuel consumption seems high to me...an average of between 19 and 20 mpg ( I get 25 in my Volvo S80 )
The dealer has put it on the computer a few times and said there is nothing wrong with it as no codes are being displayed, and as we are now out of warranty we are looking at large bills.
So would anyone have any clues as to what we should try next.
cheers in advance.

The doors and boot are still alarmed but the interior is not as if you had an animal in your car and didn't want the alarm going off every time it moved.

I had the rotars replaced, brake pads replaced and braking system flushed and fluids replaced. Picked the car up last night and the shuddering is identical to before having all the work done.
So ... I have the same problem as you. Does anyone out there know what causes this? Contact me at Mark@Nadel.us please.
It has 54,000 miles on the clock and started shuddering at low speeds a few months back. Concerned about the brakes I took it to two brake shops and both came up with the same opinions\measurements.
They told me to have the rotars replaced, brake pads replaced and braking system flushed and fluids replaced. Several hundred dollars later I picked the car up last night and the shuddering is identical to before having all the work done.

Sometimes it works the first time.
Some other time, the A/c lights in control panel doesn't light evenif the switch is on & the a/c doesn't give cool air. But when i press the control panel hard, the lights comes on and it starts working.
Sometimes i need to keep pressing the hotspots i identified in control panel to keep it working !!!
It totally depends on my luck whether it will work or not.
Anybody had such problems? How many $ would it need to fix this? Any idea?
good luck
If anyone has any answers would you please email me? Thanks. savshouse@comcast.net
(2) If you try to accelerate it stalls.
(3) If you put it in gear AUTOMATIC it stalls.
(4) If you play with it long enough you can get it to go with your foot to the floor Max Speed 10 MPH.
(5) with car in neutral you can play with the gas pedal to get the engine to rev but if you put your foot to the floor it will die ,If you back your foot off it will rev up.
IS the exhaust plugged up? Is the cam or crank sensors at fault? Is it the EGR? THE oil pressure and water temps are good. it just doesn't want to go Varoom -Varoom. What is the Problem?
good luck
brake with left foot & rev with right foot!! Any ideas
anyone my car is in the garage even they dont know. Only owned it for 1 week
Have someone turn the key while you look in through the Oil cap at the cam shaft, chances are you wont see it spinning. I had read about the timing belts on the Daewoos but did not act fast enough, mine was at about 75000.
I found the valves, valve seals, timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley, and gasket set all genuine daewoo parts, on EBAY for under $300.00. Did all the work myself, and the car is running fine. Hopefully it truly is just a broken starter, I was hoping the same thing. and by the way the daewoo lanos starter is completly buried behind the motor under the intake manifold, what a nightmare.
Feel free to contact me with any questions should you need to replace the valves and timing belt.

Totally remove the radio. On the back or side there is a 10 digit number. The dealership needs that 10 digit number in order to provide you with the correct code.
Yeah... Like I am going to remove my radio... how much does THAT cost? (I have no dealership near me, and I have no skills at removing the radio... and that isn't just because I am a girl.) So... I'll listen to the motor for a while.
Thanks!!!!!
The engine warning light started coming on at around 150k. I took it to a friend I knew who owned one (as I mentioned it to a mechanic previously about the light, but the computer didn't bring up any codes and it didn't come on when they were looking at it), and he pointed out the idle regulator/motor as being the culprit. He took it out of the manifold and cleaned it up a bit, and it was fine for a while. I think the part's proper name is the Idle Air Control Valve? It's a small black plastic cylinder with a tap-like end that's held into the manifold by two allen screws (excuse my poor mechanic-ism).
A few thousand kms later it came back on. It only does it in traffic after the engine has been warmed up and I've been driving for about 15 mins or so (in warm temperatures). The idle sits up around 1200 - 1300. Another mechanic actually thought it was a problem with the part itself (the idle motor) and replaced it at considerable cost. This lasted about 5000km - no light, everything fine. Then it came on again, the engine started idling higher. The mechanic replaced the part again (no cost this time, assuming it might have been the part), but another 5000 or so kms later... it's baaack! The mechanic's next line of attack is to replaced the ECU with a reconditioned one ($600) - but I don't believe that will fix the problem. He rebooted the ECU when he replaced it before. And it's certainly not a problem with the part.
Any suggestions please? Any help will help me save what's left of my hair (and my wallet).

Called the local mechanic and he came out to look. He ran a OBD check and said the crank shaft sensor has failed and needs to be replaced. He has towed my car to his shop to work on.
My Leganza has 81,400 miles. I had the timing belt and cam shaft sensor replaced at 59K. From time to time the car has given me a problem starting. Put the key in the ingintion and turn it and nothing. Take key out and put in ingnition again and it will then start. It's been a random issue happening more frquesntly this year.
Anybody have this problem with their Leganza?
Quoting Customer Service @ Daewoo US:
"Following are ten individual, 4 digit codes:
4316, 2152, 4513, 4362, 1156, 2145, 3451, 6361, 5624, 5241
As you input each of these individual 4-digit security codes into your audio unit one at a time, using the station preset buttons, one of the codes should work for you.
IF NONE OF THESE SECURITY CODES WORK FOR YOUR AUDIO UNIT, you will need to do the following:
1. Using a suitable trim removal tool, carefully remove the frame/trimplate that surrounds the audio unit.
2. Remove the audio unit retaining screws.
3. Slide the audio unit forward and look on top of the unit in the lower right hand corner. There, you will see a label with 10 numbers on it.
4. E-mail us with this number and we will provide your code.
Also, please visit our web site at www.DaewooUS.com. After a short registration process, you will be able to order Genuine Daewoo Parts from us, check recall status specific to your vehicle, take advantage of Daewoo special promotions, etc.
