@buttdud1122 Google timing chain failure Saturn L300 and Saturn Vue.

@studpuppy69 Are these good cars, I'm thinking about buying one?

[gun5nr0s3s]

@TAKEAPlLL i have a red 2003 saturn L300 V6 and i LOVE the heck out of it. definitely recommend it.

[buttdud1122]

@studpuppy69 It doesn't have a chain, It has a belt... and I just replaced it for the first time at 100,000 miles

That 54 degree V6 sounds awesome.

i have the 2004 l300 with the same engine the best iv 0-60 in is 6.8 sec with the car almost out of gas to save wieght

[Carfreak1177]

Is this the same engine that GM put in the Saab 9-5? that V6 turbo

[Geoff12052]

Well I know this engine is NOT a turbo, but I've heard this is the same engine from the 9-5, and the Cadillac Catera.

@Geoff12052 My dad also has a 2003 Saturn Vue with this motor.... Fairly quick, but the intake gasket went twice in the first year that we owned it. And if you stomp on it too often or put a lot of milege on it, the valves will get loud and make a knocking noise.

Is that the 3.0? Not bad at all

[giantenemycrabX]

you know, that actually doesn't sound too bad. I think I rather like that growl at the high rpm range.

[mrledlights]

that s pretty dang good 5/5 stars

8 sec 0-60, not bad
