Plug LooseCheck the Tightening Torque for the screw plug.
Tighten to torque specified in the repair instruction.
Noise
SymptomPossible CauseAction
NoiseTFT Level Too LowS When the TFT level is too low, the gear wheels
from the transaxle oil pump might generate
noise.
S Check the TFT level as described in the repair
instruction and fill to the proper level.
Monolith in Catalytic Converter Has
BrokenS Check according to the exhaust gas diagnostic
procedure or by shaking the catalytic converter
casing.
S Replace catalytic converter if necessary.
Noise from Auxiliaries (e.g. exhaust
system, alternator, drive shafts.)S Check these components; if necessary, elimi-
nate the faults as described in the repair in-
struction
Noise from Tires or Wheel BearingsS Eliminate fault if necessary
Noise from Planetary GearsS Whistling noise on traction and overrun(in first
gear only)caused by high rotating speeds(func-
tionally unavoidable)
Cumulative Tooth Backlash in the Com-
plete Drive LineS Production status. Customer must be con-
vinced.
Jerky Noise of the Parking Lock (e.g.
when the car is standing on a gradient)S Load–reversal reaction
S Apply the handbrake before selection the park-
ing Lock (position P)

9N – 6IFRAME AND UNDERBODY
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
ALIGNMENT CHECKING
An accurate method of determining the alignment of the
underbody uses a measuring tram gauge. The tram gauge
set used to perform the recommended measuring checks
must include a vertical pointer able to reach 457 mm (18
inches).
Two types of measurements can be made with a tram
gauge: direct point–to–point measurements and mea-
surements calculated on a horizontal plane (datum line)
parallel to the underbody. Point–to–point measurements
are generally taken on steering and suspension engine
compartment parts and simply require the vertical pointers
to be set equally.
For horizontal plane measurements, the vertical pointers
must be set as specified for each point to be measured.
Dimensions–to–gauge holes are measured to the center
of the holes and flush to the adjacent surface metal unless
otherwise specified. It is recommended that the diagonal
dimensions to the cross–body be checked on both sides
in order to verify the dimensional accuracy of the vehicle
underbody.
FLOOR PAN INSULATORS
The floor pan insulators have been designed for the higher
floor pan temperatures that result from the use of the cata-
lytic converter in the exhaust system. Therefore, when
servicing a vehicle, it is essential that any insulators that
may have been disturbed or removed be reinstalled in the
original sequence and location. Also, if an insulator needs
to be replaced, use only the insulation specified for that
location on the floor pan.
When servicing or replacing interior insulators, observe
the following instructions.
S Install the insulators in the original position and se-
quence. Butt the pieces together in order to avoid
gapping or overlapping.
S If it is necessary to replace an insulator, use only
the specified insulation.
S Use the original part to determine the amount of
replacement material required and as a template for
cutting and fitting the new piece to the floor pan.
S When installing the insulator, do not enlarge any
cutouts or holes that are used for the attachment of
interior parts such as the instrument panel or the
floor console.
S Route the cross–body harness for interior parts
over the floor pan insulators. Clip it in the original
location.
S Do not apply spray–on deadeners or trim adhesives
to the top of the floor pan at the area directly over
the catalytic converter or the muffler.
