1996 Daewoo Cielo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Economical, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor had replaced in January 2006.
The alternator was replaced 2 weeks later.
In March 2006 the head gasket was replaced, water jackets caused by corrosion were wielded up and a new cylinder bolt was put in the head.
Once the head had been reassembled the water pump and bearing had to be replaced and as well as the cam belt.
Then the car would not start. The starter motor was replaced and it still would not start.
Diagnosed, and the computer was replaced.
The car is still not going. Is presently being re-diagnosed.
General comments?
I bought the car for private use therefore it isn't under warranty.
The previous owner had no problems with the car and the car was been well maintained.
I believe the car is very economical and easy to drive.
