I have a 1999 Daewoo Leganza and I just replaced a couple of hoses for my radiator. I replaced a bypass hose and the hose that goes into the water pump. After I did this my temperatur gauge does not move at all. It does not move off of the C symbol for Cold. I thought it might be my Thermostat being stuck open but this has happened before but it just took awhile for the teperatur gauge to move. Now it does not move off of the cold mark. Can someone help me with this issue?

The climate selector knob on my 2002 Lanos 4 door seems to have broken. I can turn it, it stops at the positions and feels like it works, but no matter the other settings air only comes out the front vents, and I need my front defroster right now. All I know about the cause of the problem is that it's not ice related, we haven't had a big enough frost yet.
I'm an engineer and the only thing keeping me from digging into this is that I can't find a do it yourself guide for my Daewoo. I had to get behind the dash of a Ford Taurus once, and I would rate that as absolutely impossible without a good guide with lots of pictures.
Any help is greatly appriciated. This is the only problem I've had with the car, and not something I'll take it to the shop over.
Thanks

Do you recall what size torx socket needed?
:confuse:
I tackled this today after getting a set of shop manuals off ebay. Getting the control panel off was quite easy. Just remove the radio and that will expose the two more screws to remove. It sounds like my 2002 Lanos is a bit different from yours. I only had two control cables back there, the fan speed was just an all electrical set up.
For anyone else with this problem the cables we're talking about are very similar to bicycle cables, a metal cable in a plastic housing with molded in place metal ends. My problem wasn't behind the control panel, but the cable atachment there isn't the best design. My problem ended up being at the other end of the vent selector cable, which is right above the gas and brake pedals, no parts removal needed to check this, or fix it. the cable end was an even poorer design there. I fixed it with some wire and JB Weld, plus some cloth tape to use as a dam. If you're having trouble spotting it, just reach up and turn the knob, the cable is used to turn a big white 1/3 of a circle plastic lever.
I hope this helps out anyone who should have this problem in the future.
hope this sorts it out.

It needs some real work done to it but I cannot find a repair manual or even afford the parts to fix it! It runs fine but the cam sensor is bad, and fuel consumption is getting worse on it. Oh well, I'll fix it when I can.
Dealer wants $25.55. I want to buy something a little more affordable that works as well.
Has anyone had success with a different plugs? If so, which ones did you use and how long have you been using them? I plan on changing them this weekend so a quick reply would be nice :shades:
Thank you in advance,

The throttle cable returns ok, so thats not sticking.
I couldn't find those plugs either, but I did find some plugs on ebay that say they are compatable with the daewoo leganza (years 99-02). You can find them at this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NGK-SPARK-PLUGS-BKR6EK-BMW-R1100S-BMW-AUTO_W0QQcm- dZViewItemQQcategoryZ35595QQihZ002QQitemZ4633383510QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
or if that link isn't working, you can go to ebay.com and type the item number 4633383510 in the search field. Hope this helps --Aaron
I found a manual you can access online that has schematics and procedures for pretty much everything on the vehicle. Once your assigned a login name and password it gives you access to Daewoo Leganza, Nubira, and Lanos repair manuals (all 98-01). To get a username and password for the site send an inquiry to Chris at daewoomanual@gmail.com It only costs $8 and he accepts paypal or checks.
Hope this helps,

A friend of a friend has a Leganza that he bought for next to nothing and he needs a couple of small items for it.
I thought they were long gone?
hope this helps

Another possibility is that you have a bad thermostat.
Both these might cause coolant level to rise and fall and both might cause heat to fluctuate.
My timing belt just went on are 2000 daewoo lanos.I have all the parts to fix it but after reading,I want to make sure the valves are not bent,and do I have to return the cams,and the crank shaft to the right positions,and how do I go about doing this,I can't find any ifo on TDC,first # spark plug,this car is great,except to find info to work on it.Thanks for any help,Dean :confuse: :sick:

For people who think their coolant is disappearing, it is a common head gasket issue. coolant seeps slowly into one of the cylinders combustion chamber and burns with the gas.
easy to check, remove all 4 spark plugs and look for a greenish residue on the electrodes. replacement gaskets are available at ebay or at parts suppliers on the internet if you do not have any dealers close by.
You can clean this up by putting alcohol in the tank or here in the states they sell products to clear the water from the tanks.
Good luck
