Help Finding a coolant leak What you are seeing is I believed the engine oil cooler. Your 04 did not have this. If you do not see antifreeze leaking out or around those fitting that's not your problem. When the previous owner replaced the radiator he used the V version radiator. You need to...

J Gallon a day? If I was a betting man I would bet on water pump. They some times are leakers on the road. If you can get a mirror one the lower part behind the pulley there is usually a stain. Surge tank cap is another good bet. Gallon a day should be found with out much effort. Pressure check...

Should I keep the original engine Big Duck Did your V ever overheat or run low on oil ? How many miles and how long have you owned it. I'm only asking because I own the same engine. I've only heard of a few of these engines going bad. Good luck with the new one. V Happy

Johnson1989 You know this is an old thread. I believe Al Jazz has moved on and sold his XLR. I was sorry to see him move on because the short time he owned his XLR he was very informative. Watch out for the aftermarket units. Some bad some good! The V radiator is what you want. It has cured a...

Rexster314 Good job on hunting down parts and adapting to an inexpensive and satisfying outcome. I believe us XLR owners better get used to these situations Again great job. V Happy

Low oil level display Carbon build up can be a problem in today's engines. I have had a few instances that carbon build up caused problems you wouldn't believe. Takes me back to my Grandmothers 59 olds. She got her drivers lic. when she was 65 so she truly was driving like grandma. I was not...

winter storage. I've put my XLR down for the winter. My garage is semi heated. After preparing the car for winter I place it in this car capsule. It changes the air 4 to 5 times an hour for the four months it's siting. The car is dust free and looks as good the day I put it in after the...

Mac Nice to hear you have a XLR that you own and enjoy without having problems. If you do run into troubles with your X this is the place to figure it out. Friendly owners with your best interest at heart ! It is refreshing to have a new owner that enjoys the car without making it look like X'S...

Rexter314 This was on the forum a few weeks ago. It usually disconnects under the car you can buy a grommet kit at AZ or local parts store. I think they are made by Gorman. One of the guys in Virginia was going to try and see if the kit worked on the X. I'm relatively sure you will need to get...

Service work Rick I have used Dave Towell Cadillac in Akron. Last time I was there (2 years ago) they had five XLR in there service department. I know they did have a trained XLR tech then. For years they were always selling XLR 's on EBay. V Happy:wave:

Johnxlr I would give it a few runs if you are sure it is not overheating. Did you add any Coolant on the check ? Computer may need to see a few starts without overheat code. These cars do some strange things when battery is left depleted. If it continues after a few runs repost. You are...
