Daewoo tacuma wont hold on rev making tank noise

what are you asking? how to change the belt? were to adjust the belt? i am unclear about what you need.

if it is coming from up top it is in all probability the valve cover-check to be sure your PCV valve is not plugged and the crankcase is properly vented as excessive crankcase pressures will cause oil leaks from what would normally be good gaskets.

yes you can use the opel vetra engine ,its the same build but not so over engineered as the daewoo so you may have to swop some electrical sensors around but it will work ,i could send you one from here in spain with no problem but teh shipping would be more than car is worth but a 2.0 vetra or astra engine will fit

Is your car an automatic? how long were you driving before this happened? could be the plates that push the automatic gears into place. I've had the same happen to me on a ford. I needed a transmission service regardless of how the oil was.
It's hard to tell something is wrong with the transmission specially when its warm as the plates woudl have expanded by then.

quickest way is to plug a code reader into the OBDII if american model if a europeon model then its a dealer only

with a hammer

If you are in the U.S. call a local junkyard. They may be able to refer you.
If you are looking for used parts there is an 800 number that helps search parts for people.

Also go online. I'm sure you will find lots of sources. Just Google your car. "Parts for_______"
or something.similar.

The window could be anything from a switch to a motor or the cables ,also the wires from teh door to the body,It would need testing to locate the fault ,now the demist on this vehicle is controlled by a vacumn pipe which runs from the firewall to the switch then to the relevant operating merchanisms .could just be one of the plastic /rubbery ends has perished or the operating device has a hole in the diaphramn .

You will need these tools:

13mm open end wrench 10mm shallow and deep socket 8mm socket long flathead screwdriver 17mm deep socket T50 torx socket 1/4", 3/8ths and 1/2" ratchets and extensions E10 inverted torx sockets 6mm Allen wrench 15mm open end wrench 7mm socket 12mm open end wrench 14mm socket 12mm socket 8mm, 9mm and 10mm Allen head sockets 19mm socket pry bar needle nose pliers.

If you are doing this because your timing belt broke, you will also need to buy a complete cylinder head, head gasket set, and both idler pulleys. ALL DAEWOO MODELS WILL BREAK THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES WHEN THE TIMING BELT BREAKS.
Start by removing the air cleaner assembly from the throttle body, remove the air filter and housing jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel, remove the plastic shielding in front of the accessory drive belt assembly, remove the accessory drive belt, place a jack with a block of wood on top underneath the engine oil pan remove the front engine mount, remove the crank shaft pulley (the four Allen head bolts only not the 17mm bolt in the center.) Remove the metal plate behind the engine mount bracket on the engine, remove the plastic timing belt cover, three clips on top and two 10mm bolts on bottom. Rotate the engine until the #1 cyl. is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke or line up the crankshaft timing mark with the mark on the inner timing belt cover (notch in cover with notch in pulley) on the camshaft pulleys (intake cam line up the line on the pulley with the line on the inner cover) (exhaust cam line up the arrow on the pulley with the arrow on the inner cover) Now loosen the 13mm bolt in the belt tensioner and using the Allen wrench, rotate the tab until there is slack in the belt. Remove the timing belt. At this time I would recommend you replace the water pump, both plastic idler pulleys as they tend to overheat and lockup, and the belt tensioner. Make sure all your marks are lined up, you may need a helper to hold the exhaust cam in place as it tends to move during belt installation. Put the timing belt underneath the crankshaft pulley, install the belt leaving the intake cam for last and NO BELT SLACK on the right side between the crank and the exhaust cam. Once the belt is installed, rotate the crankshaft over two revolutions and make sure is rotates freely, and your timing marks are aligned perfectly. If not, the engine will not run properly, tension the belt as needed. Installation is the same as removal. To clarify, on the DOHC engine, the intake cam gear has a line on it, and the exhaust cam gear has an arrow on it. These should be lined up with the corresponding line and arrow on the VALVE COVER, pointing straight up. I just went through this process over the weekend, and spent quite a bit of time looking for these marking as I had removed the valve cover. Once I found them, it was plain and simple. In addition, be sure to not over tighten the belt when reinstalling. The tensioner has markings on it for "old" and "new". DO NOT adjust past "new", as the car will sound like a jet engine, and the belt will not last for very long. One more item that you might as well replace while you are in there is the cam position sensor if you have not already replaced it as there have been issues with them, and the timing housing has to be opened to get to it. The timing is set at: 6 degrees (both manual and automatic transmission)

there are two heater hoses coming from the engine going into the firewall where they attach to the heater core. if there is a valve, it will be in one of those hoses. not all vehicles have a valve in that line, they just let the coolant circulate all the time.

They leak from the oil pump cover gasket just behind the crank pulley. Same gaskets as a isuzu rodeo 999 4 cyl

Email DaewooUSA your radio serial number and vehicle VIN, they will supply the radio code

Replace the valve cover gasket. On mine, the valve cover was warped and I had to get a replacement from the salvage yard to stop the leak

Have you checked the automatic transmission fluid? If it is low, you might experience this condition

Email radio serial number and VIN to DaewooUSA, they will provide radio code

email radio serial number and VIN to DaewooUSA, they will provide radio code.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the plastic frame around the radio; gently so as not to crack the plastic. Remove two screws holding radio in, ease it out towards you. Disconnect wiring harness and antenna lead. CAUTION! you will need the radio code to reset radio when you put it back. Have the code before you disconnect the battery cable.

This is covered by Daewoo under warranty. Contact DaewooUSA and they will send you instructions and warranty information. I had mine fixed under warranty in September, 2010. They paid for everything, new sensor, new wire, new fuse link.

Good news, bad news....do you have remote entry? If so, lotsa luck. If not, Daewoo had 3 different key blanks for Leganza in 2000. I got mine from Handyman Hardware in Florissant Missouri. ( nice folks, very helpful)They have to special order the blank, it took a week. I had two extras made just in case.
