ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
HAVE HAD A OIL LEAK IN MY 1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO ENGINE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. THE DEALER HAS TRIED MANY THINGS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WHEN UNDER WARRANTY SUCH AS REPLACING THE DRAIN BOLT, NEW OIL FILTERS, AND REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL LEVEL SENSOR TO NO AVAIL. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OFF, THEY INFORM ME THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE "HALF CASE" AND WILL REQUIRE THAT THE ENGINE BE PULLED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $1800 AND $2000. I AM TOLD THAT CADILLAC IS HAVING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR TO MOST NORTHSTAR ENGINES AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. MINE HAS 65,000. *NLM

#746676June 11, 2001
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
ON 12/98, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT 38,000 MI., CODE PO39 SET AS PER YOUR 'SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 98876517'. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CADILLAC REPAIR CENTER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PCM PROM CHIP WITH AN EPROM 3.670 #16266767. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NEW CHIP DID NOT 'FIX' THE PROBLEM BUT ALLOWED THE ONBOARD COMPUTER TO IGNORE IT, AND NOT SET THE CODE PO39. NOW, 17,000 MI. LATER AND OUT OF WARRENTY A CODE PO56 IS SETTING. THIS IS THE 'TRANAXLE INPUT SPEED SENSOR' A $10.00 ITEM THAT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE TRANSMISSION FOR REPAIR! IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO FIND OUT HOW MANY CADILLACS THAT REQUIRED THE WORK OUTLINED IN 'SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 98876517' EVENTUALLY (AFTER WARRANTY COVERAGE ENDED) REQUIRED TRANSMISSION REMOVAL AND REPAIR FOR A FAILED 'TRANSAXLE INPUT SPEED SENSOR' *AK
