loose timing belt, low transmission fluid in transaxle.
Early Saturn VUE's use a Opel designed V6 engine. This engine is also used in the Cadillac Catera, Saturn L series, and Saab vehicles. This engine does use a rubber timing belt that does have to be replaced every 90-100k miles. It should be noted this engine requires some very special tools to replace the timing belt. Pretty $$ tools. The tools can be rented here for 30 days: http://www.ledfix.com/timingbelttoolrental.html
two chains
The water pump is located under the timing belt cover. It is a Timing belt driven water pump. Recommend a professional mechanic replacement if needed. It usually costs about $250.00 Labor $100 for the water pump and about $30 for the timing belt.
Behind the timing cover, while you are there, replace the timing belt, it's only $30.
Try at Dayco.com often the belt diagram is printed on the cardboard sleeve that the belt is packaged in
Assuming you're talking about 30mph....could be the timing belt.
With a properly maintained vehicle a timing chain (not a belt) will last a very long time. Up to 30 years.
4.2 hours give or take 30 min.
remove right tire, unbolt the power steering pump, go underneat unbolt the alternators damper, remove the timing belt tensor, remove the old belt, put the new belt on and repeat the process backward... it can take between 45-1:30 hour to do this.
Cost for the belt is typically $45 (give or take). If you search online you can frequently find them on sale. This site is currently (2/13/09) offering them for about $30: http://www.drivewire.com/products/toyota-solara/timing-belt/8135/ Cheers
when changing the timing belt on an infinity j30 entire front end of the engine have to be removed. to get to the covers. once covers are removed line all sprockets including the one behind the harmonic balancer. the back belt covers have a raised bump to line the sprockets to.
