At 0:13 in the video you can hear the rattling sound. The sound is only present when outside temp is higher than 15 degres outside. The engine must be at normal temp. Below that, nothing. It happens only on low to medium load, at any gear. Nothing in park or in neutral. It looks like its...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCbi3FnuhTM I've tried a lot of stuff: Cleen from GM in the intake, Seafoam spray, seafoam on the gas tank, higher octane even if its not recommended and the problem is still there since 177 000 kms and the car has 294 000 kms now. It does that rattling sound only...

here guys, I made another video during uphill yesterday. the rattle starts at 0:13 on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCbi3FnuhTM Help me find the rattle because I'm going nuts! It only happens during light to medium load, summer time only a/c on or off. The car requires 87 octane...

I checked belt tensioners, pulleys, alternator and everything is perfect. I listened to them with a stethoscope and could hear an abnormal noise. Inside the engine, it is very quiet. I don't have any CEL/MIL displayed and no code in the computer history or current. I've checked TSB and there's...

could it be the timing chain that is now a little stretched or a bad tensioner?

Hi guys, Last year I posted a thread about my 2005 CTS rattling under low-mid acceleration. The car is a 2005 3.6l auto transmission. 277 000 kms on the odo and the rattle started at around 177 000 kms. To make the noise, the car has to been accelerating (not on park), the engine has to be...

When my oil life monitor in my cts is at 0% oil life left, there's a laps of miles/times before it writes "change engine oil"

On my 2005 Cadillac CTS, on sport mode, the transmission acts like a charm! BUT.. on normal operation mode, when doing 85-90 km/h and just pressing the accelerator a little bit to pass a car for example, the TCC disengages but re-engages right away/disengages/engages (makes the rpm jump up and...
