I found some air leaks at the MAF connections. I bet that will fix it. I will know today as I am going to the dealer to pick up a 2nd key fob.

I am getting error codes saying both banks are lean and something about airflow. I replaced the filters when i got the car a few weeks ago and changed the MAFS this week. Any ideas? This is not a V.

Had the same problem with the starter button and door button. The switches are held in by tiny clips and the part on the panel seem to break. Starter switch was easy. I put a little hot glue on the latches to make sure it would stay. The door panel came off easy. The switch is wedged in a small...

HELP! the push button for opening the driver door has been acting up and now decided to reseed into the panel. I loosened the edges of the panel and removed the window, mirror panel. I cannot find the screws! All the videos (none for xlr) show access panels with the screws behind them. OK what...

I just bought an '05 XLR ands love it. The last owner only had 1 key fob so I bought a new one. I took the car to a locksmith to have a key made so I program the new Fob. We discovered that the is no mechanism inside the bumper. OUCH! How hard is it to get access from below to see if the...

Problem fixed with a new set of tires and proper alignment. Now it is a pleasure to drive.

Thanks. I checked the fluid and it is fine. I think I need to drive it more to home in on the perimeters. Car has 83K miles and was service by Cadillac 30 days ago. No leaks. I am hoping to make it through the season on these runflat tires. I'm waiting on my extra set of rims to come back and...

The tires are Michelin Pilot runflats dated 3912 39th week 2012. They are ready to be replaced with non-run flat tires. RF are way too heavy and crazy expensive. I prefer a can of goo and AAA. There is 4/32" left but I am awaiting getting my extra set of rims back and have them finished in black...

Took my new to me 2005 XLR for a 100 mile run and noticed some things that are either me or the car. 1. When starting out, ride was very rough. I could feel everything in the road. Later it smoothed out. Owner claimed it had new shocks. Is this ride adjustable? 2. The tires seem to want to...

Will other year / Cadillac models FOBs work with a 2005? Seems to be a wide range of prices.

Just took delivery of my 2005 XLR. The single key fob is in rough shape but works. I want to buy 2 new key fobs. I've seen them from $75 to $145. I want to besure that I can program them my self.Love the car. Has 80K, blacked out grill and emblems. CTCarGuy Connecticut

I'm looking at an '05 XLR with 83K miles. Seems to be in excellent condition but I am not familiar as to what weaknesses I need look for. The owner had the cats replaced, rear LED taillights fixed (?) shocks, brakes and tires. Are the cats a problem that I should be concerned about when...
