There is this bracket attached to the frame with a hole in it shaped such that the connector plug can ...

Noise after changing the fuel filter (lanos DOHC 1.6)

Hi Everybody, I changed my fuel filter last week. The door trim tool mentioned in the "How To..." section did not work for me. I should not have yanked the black plastic sleeve-release with it. It turns out that the release mechanism is a delicate one. I broke the sleeve-release and had to pull the ...

Lanos rear non-abs wheel bearing
