I have a 1999 Lanos, my car when it's cold has trouble idling and stalls. Once it stalls it just turns over. i think i have a similar problem to post #350. I do know when it just turns over, that i have to wait at least 30 - 45 seconds until i hear a faint tick in the dash, then it will try and start, before the tick, forget it, just turns over. Once my car is at running tempreture it's all a-okay. Also, at how many kilometers should i do the timing belt.
the daewoonator needs help! Thanks in advance!
Sometimes the switch is not completely broken and is just stuck in the depressed position. Try pulling on its tip outwards all the way, and then put it back and see if it works again.
1. Clean fuel injectors.
2. Clean throttle body.
3. Replace fuel filter.
With the lanos it might also be an electrical problem. I heard that it is a common problem that AC drain hose leaks water inside the car which damages some wiring to the engine computer. Lift the carpet and check for any water damage.
From what you are saying with the faint tick, sounds like electrical issue.
Timing belt should be replaced every 50K miles together with the tensioner and rollers.
The first time it happened I had it towed to a mechanic who found nothing wrong with it (it started as soon as he tried)... Any suggestions?
i will do the cleaning of the above. i did read somewhere else that if the erg value is stuck open the the car wont idle and stall when cold. Do you concur?
I was thinking what you are doing at 4 am writing about Daewoos, then I realized you are an Aussie. Hope it is just the time difference
I am an Aussie too, and I used to live in Sydney and owned a Daewoo Cielo for a while. I know that car dealers in Australia charge a lot for service. So if you are not mechanically inclined yourself, you should be able to easily find a good cheap private mechanic who is familiar with the Lanos engines. They are all Holden engines built in Melbourne.

1) First the check engine light keeps coming on, and when I get it looked at the reading is "gas cap is on too loose", so I check the gas cap and it's making the clicking noise and is already on tight. But after resetting the check engine sensor, it just comes back on.
2) When I fill my car up with gas, the nozzle at the pump won't auto fill........something is causing the nozzle to stop pumping gas and you need to stand there and keep turning it on........so it really sounds like something is messed up in the gas tank area causing both problems. Anyone else face this?
Thanks in advance

Also, after reading through the forum a bit, I very much nervous about my timing belt. The car is now fast approaching 60,000 miles and may never of had the timing belt replaced! I have no problem with doing engine repairs, does anyone know where I can get a good write up on proper replacement of the timing belt? Any feedback on these two items would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The tensioner is currently loose and he belt is slowly being chipped to pieces.
If you wait, your engine will need new valves too.
A - how do i find out what recalls should have been taken care of on it?
B - are these recalls still able to be done on my car free?
C - where is the list of recalls? link?
D - the car is got a salvaged title. from what i read it looks like all of the titles should be that way. hehe - is this going to affect my ability to get recalls done on it?
thanks
The salvage title status clears Daewoo Motor America of any liability or warranty on the car so the recalls are your responsibility, unless you can get a dealer to be nice.
Nthsa.gov web site is the web site to search for recall information.
Some of the recalls can be done by yourself, like protecting the computer wiring harness under the carpet.
Thanks,

Has anyone else had to deal with this issue and if so do you have any remedies?
I am trying to change the gearbox oil on a 2000 Daewoo lanos SE - Manual. However I can not for the life of me find the drain plug and the fill plug. I can simply drain the transaxle by removing the inspection plate at the bottom of the diff, however this does not help me with filling it (Unless I turn the car up side down) and to what level do I fill it.
I am wondering if the gearbox is filled through the speedo sensor hole above the diff.
If anyone could give me any pointers I would be truly thankful
Cheers,
David.

All recent vintage automatic transmission cars with 4 speed and better do not lock up the torque converter or enter the highest gear until the car is warmed up to a certain point.
This has to do with some emmisions control issues and is normal operation. If it takes a long, long time to get to 1/4 temperature, then you might have a bad thermostat that is stuck partially open.

When I was replacing the timing belt on a 1.5 SOHC there was a notch in the plastic conver at the top of the camshaft pulley which the indentation on the camshaft pulley seemed line up with when the equivelent indentation on the crankshaft pulley was aligned with a notch on the block/sump which was straight below it at the lowest point.
However, this is just an observation and not a statement of fact. When I replaced the timeing belt I actually maked the relative positions of each pulley and put the belt on as the previous one came off.
Naturally, if you do use this as a guide.... you MUST turn the engine over by hand first to ensure there is not binding in the engine BEFORE you hit the starter motor. If my observation was wrong then atleast you will find out without causing disaster.
Given you are changing the timing belt then I assume you have probably have changed the gearbox oil at some stage. I have a manual and can not find a suitable drain/fill points on the gearbox. As stupid as that sounds, rest assured that I have change the oil of many gearboxs so I kind of know what I am doing.
I am wondering if it is possible that the gearbox is 'sealed for life' type job. If such things exist?
Can you give me any pointers?

But looking over the forums there is no information on the SPECIFIC part number for the "brake relay switch" so I can order it, because I have no brake lights. The daewoo sight is no help yes there is a diagram but it's greek to me. Can someone just let me know the part #?
Thanks in advance.
