Do I ask for an engine diagnostic first....do I bother to repair..engine only 102,000 km

Asked by twoflowers49 Apr 22, 2015 at 02:47 PM about the 2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Blue smoke, engine choking at time it happened.  Has needed oil added more lately

8 Answers

The check engine light never comes on, only the oil light when it is really low on oil. Sounds expensive...

I was afraid of that. For 15 years it has been a great little car and I am surprised it would need a new motor with 102,000 kilometres on it. A couple years ago, mechanics doing a tune-up told me they were impressed by the shape of this vehicle and it was like a 3 year old car. Hmmmmmmm! Never know do we. Thanks everyone.

My car lasted 15 years and I thought I took care of it pretty well. I always followed the maintenance instructions, changed oil when needed and filters and fuel filter, cleaned air cleaner, flushed this and that, tuneups.
