My 2000 LaSabre Speedometer was reading 80mph but I was only going around 50mph. I called several garages and they all said it was the sensor and gave me prices to fix it in the hundreds$$! A friend who is a mechanic brought his diagnostic tester over and then took the car for a drive. He came back looking very somber and said the switch that changes the so speedometer from mph to kilometers had been turned. He put it back to mph....no charge and problem solved

Same thing happened to me. We just pushed the "engine meter" button and it went right back to where it should have been.

ENG/MET is not "Engine Meter" it is English / Metric or Miles vs Kilometres

I have a 2005 Buick LeSabre, it ran hot one morning and i heard this clicking noise coming from the engine like the valves were'nt getting oil or something. Now when a crank it the engine runs like it has a bad plug or two and there is constant bubbling into the water reservoir while it's running. I have been told that it's a blown head gasket and am asking around too see if that's what it is or could it be something else, the constant bubbling in the water reservoir is what has got me? but anyone that could give me some suggestions on what it is would be much appreciated. 4 Answers
