Sorry I have not gotten back to you sooner. Was in England. I had one oil control valve break in the same area. Cadillac tech could not say why it did, other than say that he never has encountered such an issue. I found a used one and had that one installed because I could not find one. I...

Thanks for all the info. I will not buy from that guy. I will contact J and J and elite auto on Monday if they have them. If they do, I will contact my service guy and let him know one is available and he can tell the warranty company to either pay for it or they can find a new one. I will...

Thank you. I saw this listing and was hoping to find one at msrp. This person is almost asking double, so I kind of expected that. Jeff

Need GM part #10348979. Cannot find a new one or a used one. Warranty will pay $1065.95 for a new one (MSRP) and maybe a used one if priced close to msrp and I make up the difference. I would also consider sending the module to someone who can repair it. It was a victim of water that did not...

What I meant by my comment was that I really enjoyed driving my car when I could, so I can relate to not having our cars around to drive. For better or worse, I am now committed to my Cadillac dealer to get this work done because of all the warranty work and parts that are needed and/or parts...

Dealer stay While my car has spent most of 2019 at the dealership, I got a few more months of driving it than you did with yours.

Got a used oil control valve and took it to the dealer. The warranty covered the part and the repair since the part and repair came with warranty themselves. Once the service department installed the part and the check engine light was no longer an issue, the radiator started to leak and the...

My oil control valve is broken. The warranty company says that they will cover the cost of a new one and the parts/labor associated with it. While I am now able to find a used one, it's looking like I have to pay for a used part and pay for the other parts and labor myself. Then I am faced...

Thanks for the info. I looked up the listing and no more were available. I did contact the seller and hopefully they can find more.

Good info. Still cant find this part on ebay, craigslists, etc. I have seen xlr engines (still on bodies) for sale on ebay, but not near me. I will continue to call Dorman for updates.

A will have to remember the tool question. Since I have an extended warranty on the car, the Cadillac dealer already got the repair approved. So now it's just finding the part before the warranty ends.

I told my Cadillac parts guy last week that Dorman told me that they were expecting the part to be in on November 3. He called up Dorman this morning and was told that the part was to be in November 3, 2020. Well that did not make sense. I called up Dorman and told her what I was told last...

I am really keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

I do need the control valve. Just chatted with Susan at dormanproducts.com. The part number is still active #916-870 and they are just out of stock. She told me that they still make the part and they expect a shipment in 90 days. Good news? I will try to double check the information...

No luck with oemcats.com, o'reilly.com, autozone.com, gmwarehousedirect.com, gmpartssolutions.com. Still looking.
