I think you can try a hid light, because of xenon lamp no filament, so won't produce for filament broken and discard of the problem, the service life is much longer than halogen lamps, hid xenon lamp life is equivalent to the average car use cycle of the whole running time.http://www.chinasinoy.com/wholesale/auto-hid-xenon-light/

Not very many.The Olds Aurora is based more on the Cadillac Seville and Buick Riveria platforms.

Should be in one of the metal lines at the connection for the condenser. The line is wider where the tube is.

You have to replace hub bearing.

most are either on the thermostat housing or close to it.. some are on the intake area.. and some are actually mounted into the radiator side tank..repost findings..

I hope you mean change front rotors, AND change front disc pads...This front brake set-up is fairly easy for a novice to do also. Why mention rotors? Are you experiencing a vaibration when applying the brake pedal? Yes, this is a sign of warped, worn out rotors...also inspect caliper piston movement, and top off brake reservoir after parts change. The caliper hold down bracket must be removed to change the rotors...2 bolts with good breaker bar, maybe 16 17mm socket and 13mm socket for removal of the caliper (2) bolts...lubricate and clean all parts and slide pins...be sure to thoroughly spray new rotors with brake parts cleaner before installing...this removes the packing oil from the rotors...(will ruin new brake pads and smell) Hope this helps.

I would`nt be too worried about the oil on spark plug threads be more concerned about white smoke! it sounds like head gasket problems.Good-luck.......

Your car would say "check charging system" only if your car was having charging problems. A car's alternator recharges the car's battery with electrical energy produced by the gasoline engine. It therefore recharges when the engine is running. You may be having trouble with the battery not performing like it used to. While this is likely because of sulfation on the battery's metal plates, it could be the alternator. To pin it down to the alternator, you'll need to run a series of tests.----------------FGTech Galletto 2-Master EOBD2 V51

have you bled the system at all? I personally do not seen any model of your car as I come from Cyprus and we do not have anything like. I am advising you based on other cars,where I am repairing. I personally use this procedure to avoid the long time bleeding the system. I before fitting the thermostat fill up the engine block with coolant from thermostat's place till filled up to the edge.Then i fit the thermostat and continue the filling from the expansion tank or radiator up to the maximum level. I leave off the radiator cap start the engine and let the it run on idle till the bubbles stop ( air ) ,put the radiator cap back on and let it continue idle till the fan comes on. As soon as it cuts out I switch off the engine ,let it few minutes for the pressure to drop and check the coolant level,if is okay I just put the radiator cap back on or if it is low to top up.

Problem with your alternator.

In a '97 model car most of your relays would be in the power distribution box by the battery, but very seldom that is the problem. Truthfully, without a multi-meter and some electrical systems understanding, you would just be looking in the dark. But having checked your battery connections-both cables are snug and tight on a new, fully charged battery? And the new starter had its mounting bolts down tight and, most important, the electrical connections (large battery cable end, and the small starter solenoid wire) all put back in place and tightened down? Well, if you got it all back together right, turning the key to crank should send voltage to the small wire on the starter solenoid, energizing it and allowing battery voltage to pass to the starter motor and thus crank the engine over. If you have a problem with the starter, that's where you start looking=at the starter. Check if the small wire has power in start position of the ignition switch. Cheery-o's!

Its probably a rotten gas line from the pump located in the gas tank to the fuel injection unit. It would either be an easy fix to bring to a mechanic and get them to replace the line...or find the make and model online and google changing the fuel line for that particular model. There's always helpful hints online that make do little jobs like that so much easier.good luck!

It's at the engine end of the lower radiator hose. Remove the hose clamp and two bolts holding the hose fitting. It will fall into your hand.

If you have the owners book, it will tell you, or on the fuse box cover.
