Re: Going to look at a 2001 SSEi need some input

I am not exactly unbiased here so first, price would be $1000-$1500 tops if near perfect (here in Ontario Canada) but I had horrendous luck with our 01 SSEi bought in 2005 at 124,000km (77,000mi). Trans went months later. Most unreliable poorly built car I have ever owned. Engine is a rock (save for ...

Re: 2001 ssei blowing hot air when ac is on

Bad actuator or huge leak one or the other. 2 cans should blow real old for sure, min had a slow leak and I would have to put a third can in it half way through summer, for 3 cans per year it wasn't worth the $1000+ they wanted to fix. I thought redtek and similar brands were ozone friendly these ...

Re: 2001 SSEi Goodbye THANK YOU BF users!

Thank you "1oldman". Agreed. That was precisely the reason we stuck with Pontiac. 6 weeks into ownership a bad taste was forming. One that left me never wanting to buy a car with over 100K ever again (124,000km/77,000mi when we bought). 3 months later Transmission goes and it was all downhill with ...

2001 SSEi Goodbye THANK YOU BF users!

I wanted to say thank you to all that have put the time and effort into helping me out over the last few years here on the forum with our 01 SSEi for the multitude of issues we have experienced. It’s been sold for $950 CDN, thank you baby Jesus. We will not miss it in the least. Including the POS 81 ...

Trunk leak with a twist?

I know this has been covered but without sifting can someone point me to the definitive Trunk Leak article please? Not only has my trunk leaked for years but when I removed my rear seat to boost my battery directly a couple weeks ago I noticed the sound proofing/insulating grey foam behind the rear ...

Removing Plastic Sunshade?

Can anyone offer me some info on removing the plastic sliding sunshade panel on my 2001 so I can re-affix the fabric that is peeling off? Any suggestions on what adhesive to use for such a job would be great, I was thinking fabric friendly spray adhesive? The thin film under the fabric is pretty ...
