1996 Daewoo Cielo review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very average car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat frame broken twice.
Several breather hoses & cam cover gaskets replaced.
Radiator fractured requiring replacement after air conditioner pulley flew off (80,000klm)
Camshaft lobe worn off, blown head gasket requiring a very expensive repair (108,000klm)
Water pump (140,000klm)
RHS Brake caliper seized twice (120.000 & 200,000klm)
3 Speed Automatic transmission overhauled (150,000klm) Also expensive.
Radio buttons faulty.
Steering wheel grip has separated from the wire inside which makes it twist in your hand.
Alternator (200,000klm)
General comments?
Volvo has the high mileage club do I get a prize for getting 200,000klm in a cielo?
