I have 3 cartridge oil filters in stock for my 06 Saturn Ion Redline. A WIX E/P, Mobil 1, or my go to, Hengst. The Hengst looks great, made in the US, but the WIX also looks really well made, and even has a wire mesh reinforcement on the inside of the filter which I've never seen before...

My sister left me her Vibe while she is away for a few weeks, and told me the engine has been smelling like coolant for the past few weeks. Had a look under the hood and noticed that the pass side rear corner of the engine is wet, and is probably a coolant leak. Anyone here familiar with...

2006 Saturn Ion Redline w/ 5 speed manual trans with a Quaife LSD. 190 k km. Since I got the car at 115 k km, it has always grinded it gears a bit, esp when hot going from 3-4, at 60 KPH, and it likes to pop out of 5th under light load at around 110 KPH. I have learned to live with the...

Friend of mine hit a high curb/ pole with his 2018 Subaru Impreza. Ripped out the driver's side wheel, took out the fender, headlight, wheel and bumper skin, airbags did not deploy. Engine runs fine. 50k miles on it. Owner wants to sell it as is instead of repair, how much should he ask for...

A friend of mine had a very unfortunate incident where he took a right turn too fast, hit some sand and slid into a curb and hit a pole with his 2018 Subaru Impresa 5 speed wagon. Air bags did not deploy. Took out the fender, headlight, but that's no big deal. The big deal is that the impact...

I got caught in a massive down pour, drove through some standing water at a walking speed that was maybe a foot deep, and the motor stalled..... The Napa Gold air filter ( I'm assuming it's paper) got totally soaked, as did the MAF, so of course the car won't turn on anymore. Can I just dry...

To any A/C experts out there, what is the coldest temp air that should come out of the vents? In my 06 Saturn Ion, 55 F is the lowest I see. The A/C shop I take it to for service verified that everything is working as it should, and if I want it any colder I should consider a new compressor...

2006 Saturn Ion Redline. When I bought the car 6 years ago I knew the trans was not so healthy. It would grind 3-4 shift if I shifted too quickly, and would pop out of 5th sometimes. I bought a new transmission as a backup, for when the day came that I would start loosing gears. 50,000 km...

Long story short: I have an aftermarket sts (OTTP) shifter in my Saturn Ion Redline. That knob is threaded 3/4-16. I bought another shift knob that is 10x1.25 that of course does not fit, but came with 3 different adaptors, none of which fit... Is there some weird old carpenters trick of...

So it is time for new brakes on my 06 Saturn Ion Redline. When I got the car 7 years ago the p/o put on brand new ceramic pads and new oem rotors. They have been fine, however I would like a bit more bite from the pads, something more aggressive but still on the cleaner side dust wise. I...

I have a Saturn Ion Redline that I'm guessing makes a bit north of 200 whp, LSD and 0 traction control. It's a light car too, just 2900 lbs. I bought a new set of Continental Winter Contact SI Plus tires last year, and wow these tires spin like crazy off the line if I'm not careful...

Hello to all. As the title states I have a Saturn Ion Redline with a supercharged 2.0 Ecotec gas engine with 110 k miles on it. It used to be a mostly highway car (80%), and I would change the oil and filter (Mobil 1) roughly every 5000 miles or one year, which ever came first. Now I drive...
