1994 Saturn SL SL2 Twin Cam from North America - Comments

I have had my 1994 saturn sl2 for 4 yrs now, all I really had problem with was it leaks oil bad. I recently had to replace timing on it, and now leaking will not stop. besides that, everything is great I will keep for alil longer, until it dies.

I've had my 1994 Saturn SL1 for about five years now. It's been the most reliable car of any I've owned, and I've owned quite a few. The only time I've had to do extensive maintenance on it was fairly inexpensive, and aside from that one time, I've only had to do minor repairs and regularly scheduled maintenance like oil changes and the like. If you are looking for a car that will keep on going and going, Saturns are a good choice. The only problem is that they do not yet make custom body kits for anything older than a '98 model year, so you have to modify anything you get. That's not too difficult if you know what you're doing. I'm currently working on pimpin' out my Saturn, adding ground effects and what not. I love this car!

I have recently purchased a 94 Saturn SL2 and it only has one problem The Cooling fan will not turn on.

I have replaced the fan motor, coolant sensors, and

under hood fuse.

Would anyone have some advice on what the resolution might be?

Thanks.

Yeah replace the thermostat and your fan will kick back in.

Regards.

I have a 93 Saturn SL SOHC that I had bought that had the same problem as others. The fan would not come on when temperature got high. I found that my solution seen to correct my problem. I jumped my ALDL and the fan started to come on. And works properly ever since. Guess the computer needed to be reset. I only had the car a year, but have had no problems with it. Needed minor maintenance when I bought it though. Exhaust, bulbs etc. I only paid $1,000 for it so I expected some expenses. I was so impressed with my fathers 94 SL-1 I had to buy mine. And my wife has a 95 SC-1. I guess you can say that we have become a true Saturn family.

Bought a '92 Saturn two years ago after totaling my beloved Jetta. Saturn had 250,000 miles and cost $800. I needed something fast so I took a chance. I just dumped it a week ago and replaced it with a '94 Saturn SL. Not fun to drive and a distinctive cheap feel to it, but it runs, runs, runs...

Can't believe the '92 junker ran for so long. Never failed to start and never stranded me. Great for commuting and short trips-- for more than that I hope to get another VW.
