Question: 1996 Cadillac Seville V8
Front Wheel Drive Automatic 112,580 miles. I have an overheating problem. One
mechanic says that the engine is ruined, but it has extremely high pressure
building up in the coolant system. is the engine ruined or do I have to replace
head gaskets?
Answer: if you have no
leaks and the fans work right up front, the problem lies at the head gasket, the
head bolt threads strip out of the block due to overheating. this is quite
fixable done it plenty of times. if you fix it have them helicoil them all
whether there bad or not, in my 5 years at caddie never seen a head gasket prob
it was always the head bolts make sure the water pump is ok along with the belt
its on the front head at the right end looking at the motor or drivers side,
remove the black bracket to ck it

Question: My 2000 STS has the FE3 "road sensing"
suspension with 108000 mi. Replacement Struts are $700 each - is there a lower
cost replacement or can the SLS non adjustable struts be installed & if so, do
any electronic components need to be removed or deactivated? The car is pristine
& I have owned it since new and really want to go to 200,000 miles - but the
cost to rebuild the suspension with original equipment replacement parts is
prohibitive. What are my best alternatives?
Answer: I have never installed non adjustable
struts in place of the sensing struts. try having the cores rebuilt it may save
you some money, or try a junk yard. I wouldn't mess around with installing the
non adjustable as you will probably run into more problems down the road.

Seville Front Wheel Drive Automatic 137896 miles, I need new shocks, they are

in your Ride Module or the light will come on so some one is pulling your leg
rear shocks are air shocks, they come in a pair about 200 bucks at the dealer.

Question:
2001 Cadillac Seville V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic
47,000 miles I have a 2001 Seville STS with factory HID headlamps. Over the
weekend, it blew a fuse for the drivers side HID lamp. I replace the fuse and
the HID lamp lit up for about 3 seconds and then popped the fuse again. I pulled
the lamp assembly out and looked at the wiring to see if I could find a pinched
wire or maybe a wire that had rubbed thru its insulation and was arcing to
ground but found nothing. I put it all back together and tried a new fuse, it
lit up and lasted about 8 seconds and then popped the fuse again. Any ideas on
how to diagnose the HID circuitry? These parts are very expensive to just try
and replace ballasts, ignitor, etc......Please help if you can.
Answer: Those are
the blue lights right? the electrical booster for that headlight is bad, I
believe there is one for each headlight assembly, its a rectangle box about 6-8
inches long and 2-3inches wide

Answer: That's how you get
it out, cut the cowling, then repair it going back together, blower motor is in
the firewall in the middle. Check you AC with a Freon leak detector
