Ok when i first got the car my CEL was on the dealer said they would fix it and give me a 6 month power train warrenty on it it was somthing iwht the airbags. they replaced the part and the service light was on they said they serviced it and all but is there a way i can check to see if it is up to date on its services its my first manual car so i dont want something going wrong after my warrenty goes cause the services were not done. thanks

 

carfax would be a way. i did it for my car and it only showed up to 80k. it wasnt complete. so for the period im owning it, im keeping all my reciepts of crap i bought for it. and as for ur service light, u talking bout in the middle of the dash there's a yellow sign saying ur service is due? search for it, there's a diy but i jsut can't remember wut it was lol

 

yes that light but the saturn dealer reset it i guess cause after i got it back from them fixing the CEL i told them about it and they said they would take care of it but i have a feeling that they just reset it or chenged the oil and reset that

 

just checked the last service was at 37k miles it now has 57k you guys think its time to do it again?

 

the service light is set to come on every 10k miles. so let me refresh, ur service light is on now? how bout CEL? u can reset he service light urself, the CEL needs to be scanned by a OBDII scanner or vag com. and when u asked "do it again" do u mean change ur oil again after 20k miles? the answer would be hell yes. oil should be changed evry 4-5k miles with full synthetic oil.

 

noo get it se4rviced the oil has just be changed with full synthetic but is that all the service light is? the CEL is no longer on had that fixed before i bought it a problem with the air bags. the service light has been reset by the dealer but i dont think they actually did anything besided reset it

 

o that light is to mess with people's head and then they take it to the dealership and then they rape u. that may sound sarcastic but i am totally serious. if u don't do ur own oil changes, at least check the oil dipstick after ur car has been serviced. i think u should start doing ur own oil changes because it's alot easier on our cars compared to some others.

 

I do my own oil changes the dealer ship just did it when they got the car i drained it and put full synthetic in it lol. I was just wondering if i needed belts or anything checked with that light on. Also this may sound dumb but this is my first manuel and after the car has been run hard the clutch smells horrible even my friend said it smelt horrible is that because the clutch could be wearing out or bad shifting (wasnt me driving)? is it bad for the car?

 

it's ur bad shifting. i was in the exact same situation 5 months ago. not onlydid mine smell rly bad but it also smoked

 

well you should do the timing belt within the next 5 to 10 thousand miles, if you dont do it yourself, im sure they will try and sell you on a big service but its up to you what you think you need out of their sales spiel.
