OWNER INSPECTIONS AND SERVICES
WHLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Horn Operation
Blow the horn occasionally tomake sure it works. Check
all the button locations.
Brake System Operation
Be alert for abnormal sounds, increased brake pedal trav-
el or repeated pulling to one side when braking. Also, if the
brake warning light goes on, or flashes, something may be
wrong with part of the brake system.
Exhaust System Operation
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the
smell of the fumes. These are signs that the system may
be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and
repaired immediately.
Tires,Wheels and Alignment Operation
Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats
at normal highway speeds. This may mean a wheel needs
to be balanced. Also, a pull right or left on a straight, level
road may show the need for a tire pressure adjustment or
a wheel alignment.
Steering System Operation
Be alert to changes in the steering action. An inspection
is needed when the steering wheel is hard to turn or has
too much free play, or if unusual sounds are noticed when
turning or parking.
Headlight Aim
Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the
headlights if the beams seem improperly aimed.
AT EACH FUEL FILL
A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may
indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and re-
paired immediately.
Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The best time
to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm.
1. After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
2. Pull out the oil level indicator (dip stick).
3. Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back
down all the way.
4. Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil lev-
el on it.
5. Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the
MIN line and within the area labeled ”Operating
Range.” Avoid overfilling the engine, since this may
cause engine damage.
6. Push the indicator all the way back down into the
engine after taking the reading.If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level reading.
Engine Coolant Level and Condition
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and
add coolant if necessary. Inspect the coolant. Replace
dirty or rusty coolant.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid if
necessary.
AT LEAST MONTHLY
Tire And Wheel Inspection and Pressure
Check
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also check
for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (check the spare also, unless it is a stow-
away). Maintain the recommended pressures that are on
the tire placard that is in the glove box.
Light Operation
Check the operation of the license plate light, the head-
lights (including the high beams), the parking lights, the
fog lights, the taillight, the brake lights, the turn signals, the
backup lights and the hazard warning flasher.
Fluid Leak Check
Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for
water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or
fumes, find the cause and correct it at once.
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR
Power Steering System Reservoir Level
Check the power steering fluid level. Keep the power
steering fluid at the proper level. Refer to Section 6A, Pow-
er Steering System.
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level
Check the fluid and keep it at the proper level. A low fluid
level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need
to be serviced. Check the breather hole in the reservoir
cover to be free from dirt and check for an open passage.
Clutch Pedal Free Travel
Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust as necessary.
Measure the distance from the center of the clutch pedal
to the outer edge of the steering wheel with the clutch ped-
al not depressed. Then measure the distance from the
center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the steering
wheel with the clutch pedal fully depressed. The difference
between the two values must be greater than 130 mm
(5.19 inches).
Weather–Strip Lubrication
Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth.

S Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups to
facilitate proper and smooth reassembly.
S Keep attaching bolts and nuts separated, as they
vary in hardness and design depending on the posi-
tion of the installation.
S Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
S Also clean the oil parts, etc. Use compressed air to
make certain they are free of restrictions.
S Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of parts with oil
or grease before installation.
S When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to pre-
vent leakage.
S Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut
torques.

OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visu-
ally finding the leak and replacing or repairing the neces-
sary parts. On some occasions, a fluid leak may be difficult
to locate or repair. The following procedures may help you
in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak:
1. Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil,
automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid,
etc.
2. Identify where the fluid is leaking from.
1) After running the vehicle at normal operating
temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
2) Wait a few minutes.
3) Find the approximate location of the leak by the
drippings on the paper.
3. Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for
leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in areas
that are hard to reach.
4. If the leak still cannot be found, it may be neces-
sary to clean the suspected area with a degreaser,
steam, or spray solvent.
1) Thoroughly clean the area.2) Dry the area.
3) Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal
operating temperature and varying speeds.
4) After operating the vehicle, visually check the
suspected component.
5) If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the
powder or black light and dye method.
Powder Method:
1. Clean the suspected area.
2. Apply an aerosol–type powder, (such as foot pow-
der), to the suspected area.
3. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions.
4. Visually inspect the suspected component. Trace
the leak path over the white powder surface to the
source.
Black Light and Dye Method:
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s directions when using the kit.
1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil
fill tube.
2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions as directed in the kit.
3. Direct the light toward the suspected area. The
dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to
the source.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
Repairing the Leak
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced
back to its source, the cause of the leak must be deter-
mined in order for it to be repaired properly. If a gasket is
replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will
not repair the leak. The bent flange must be repaired also.
Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following
conditions and correct them as they may cause a leak.
Gaskets:
S The fluid level/pressure is too high.
S The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
S The fasteners are improperly tightened or the
threads are dirty or damaged.
S The flanges or the sealing surface is warped.S There are scratches, burrs or other damage to the
sealing surface.
S The gasket is damaged or worn.
S There is cracking or porosity of the component.
S An improper seal was used, (where applicable).
Seals:
S The fluid level/pressure is too high.
S The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
S The seal bore is damaged, scratched, burred or
nicked.
S The seal is damaged or worn.
S Improper installation is evident.
S There are cracks in the component.
S The shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
S A loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal
wear.
KNOCK DIAGNOSIS
Definition for Knock
Engine knock refers to various types of engine noise.
Heavy knock is usually very loud and the result of broken
or excessively worn internal engine components. Lightknock is a noticeable noise, but not as loud. Light knock
can be caused by worn internal engine components.
Loose or broken external engine components can also
cause heavy or light knock.
