1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette review from North America
"This van is a serious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since purchasing the van, I have replaced the alternator, wiper motor, front wheel bearings, tie rod ends, and given it a tune-up. Go with the Bosch "plus 2" plugs! They increased my power and fuel mileage quite a bit! All required maintenance in my book.
General comments?
Both front windows (power) move slowly and what is the deal with the front wiper problem? I have seen that many others have experienced this problem, but no one has an answer.
I installed a "K&N Filter-charger" and gained power just by putting it in!
I also installed Bosch "Plus 2" plugs and with the K&N filter, I get 25 mpg in the city and almost 40 on the highway!! I also have more power than I thought possible out of a six cylinder!
