I drive a Cadillac STS Jg. 2005 4.6l V8 rear drive For a long time I have lost an oil in the front left of the shock absorber. Although I only have 86’000km on it For me it means to replace both front dampers. Now at GM Parts Online I have selected the part number of the front shock absorber for my chassis number and namely GM 19181634 for 355 dollars. If I now look for this number at Rock Auto the system gives me 3 different shock absorbers at below Monroe 39135 for around the 88 Euro. I would like to decide for this because from my point of view completely sufficient. Now to the bellows, which one should also change immediately, does not cost much, I have 2 to the choice the delivery. At the more favorable stands: front; rear wheel drive; except magnetic suspension control. At the more expensive stands: GM 88957131, front; “soft ride” suspension (option code FE1) At the top of the damper dome, where the 3 screws of the spring leg are located In the middle of the screws is an electric plug (under the hood ). Now my problem is that I do not find out if my car has a “softride” suspension or not. According to English Fooren I have read that the option code sticker is in the spare wheel dump, which I also found, there are numerous codes executed on it, but nowhere of “FE1” Hassi number is by the way 1G6DC67A550230248. If someone could help me, I would be very grateful 😉

Hello dear US car, respectively Cadillac fans, for almost 4 years I drive a Cadillac CTS 3.6 limousine from year 10/2008. Regarding driving comfort, performance and rarity value I love to drive with this vehicle, or to cruise. The Cadillac is currently equipped with a season mark and stands in my garage in winter. I am very happy to be able to move it again almost daily from April… However, there is a problem since last summer. 4 weeks before the season back to end e was, I wanted to go with the Cadillac a bigger tour, put the air conditioning and ventilation on high level and – nothing came… The ventilation hums, however, no ventilation, not even a lukewarm, out of the openings (the climate is no longer cooling). I tried everything, put the ventilation on a small level, set it on a large level, air conditioning and air conditioning out, but nothing went on. I assumed that logically anything about the ventilation, maybe even the complete unit defective Does anyone have any advice about what can be broken here (possibly a known problem with the CTS), what spare parts cost and where to get them cheaply, but above all also how to remove the center console and get to the ventilation unit?? I don’t see any screws, clips or anything else. Maybe I have to go somewhere else?? I am grateful to you for every tip, for every idea! Maybe someone has already had the same problem here and can explain his approach. maybe someone also found something on an American side that could help me… Thank you very much and thank you very much, Markus

Hello all, I have the problem that the engine does not start any more on my GMC C30 truck with the 7.4l machine from 1982. I have switched off the truck quite normally and the next day it did not jump on. The engine turns, but it does not say anything. Also a shot brake cleaner does not make it run. Therefore I rather do not believe in a problem with the fuel supply. In advance I always had problems that the engine died at certain speeds and almost died off arb. With a little feeling in the foot you could compensate for this again. Do you have suggestions or experience values? Thank you in advance, greetings Sören

Moin together, the cold season begins and many animals prepare themselves for the winter by looking for cozy quarters. A specimen obviously has a very exquisite taste for wintering possibilities and has settled in my garage, or in the Buick. Fußel of insulation material and small elongated quilts in the interior and on the car speak volumes. Before the cattle eats the cushions or even cables broken, I have to have the possitive animal. I don’t know whether this is a mouse, garden or seven-sleeping. I could set up a trap in the interior, but that could also attract animals that would not otherwise have come into the car. I had already tried penetrant perfume in the garage, that didn’t help. Does anyone have a good tip? Greeting Achim

Hello toammen, I am 20 years old and would like to buy a car. Which I have directly caught my eye and I have only difficulty getting out of my mind is the Camaro 4gen. from 1999. Have you had good/bad experience? share with me. I have a viewing appointment on 17.8. What is 1 of the biggest problems of my knowledge, is the consumption. How many kilometers did you manage with a 59L tank filling? How much does a tank filling cost? Does E5 Super? a few informations about the vehicle: 5750€ V6 193PS 66000 KM Automatic Alternatively, I’ll be looking at an A3 1.5Tfsi S line soon: 16500€ 2018 99000km 150Ps Thanks in advance.

Hello all! As it looks like I’m going to be iced to Florida at the end of January at the beginning of February. Maybe someone from here has been there already in winter and can give me some tips and advice. I have planned my vacation so far that I land in Miami and then 14 days have time to drive around in Florida, bathe, shop and many many many car parts buy. Now I have a little thought because it is out of season and there are probably all a bit to renovate or that many cars are And where do I get, for example, oil filters, lowering spings etc……? does anyone know the typical pitstops? So I thank you in advance.. gruss Robi

Then first use the coming weekend and cruise a bit if the weather does not let me down… Greetings,Chris

Hello I would like to install 2 fans to cool the cooling water. The first should turn on from 50 degrees temperature and the second should turn on from 85 degrees or by switch. Very nice it would be if both could run backwards, if the motor is switched off until the water reaches xx degrees or the battery has 12 volts. Can this be so and if so how or there is something better. Maybe an electronician here who has made such a circuit before ?? Am open for each proposal
