Hi, Bruce, the last 8 vin numbers of my xlr are: 65603843. My email address is hugoscheuer@aol.com . Thank you for all your efforts in support of us xlr owners. Hugo

Yahh, I could see that, when I slid the ring down. That is why I suggested using a plastic blade to do the job. I think my example wasn't properly seated to begin with.

I think I'm just going to make up or buy a bypass SPST switch for the fuel pump fuse and tuck it where it isn't obvious. Rusty 06 V

Thanks Cubby, that helps.

When parking my car in unsecured lots at night, ie. movie theator, etc. I feel insecure leaving my car. Although our cars have a comprehensive theft deterent system, there are, available to thieves, devices that will spoof our remote access fobs and leave our cars vulnerable to theft. A further...

What did you do about the temperature control air passage in the seats? Perforate the leather? Rusty 06 V

Is any of the plug length protruding from the cover? If so, maybe there is enough to take a new pair of vice grips (with sharp edges on its teeth) and grip it, using the sides of the jaws not the ends. and carefully work the plug out. Also a new small pipe wrench may work Also if the plug is...

Loose shift Knob On my car, an 06, I can merely slide the chrome ring downwards, ( I was able to use my finget nails). However, it is really hard to do. I am sure you could find a plastic blade to use, if that does not work for you. Once slid down, there is a #15 torq screw fastening the knob...

I have detected no "lag" from idle and mine is supercharged. Is it a stumble? or just slow build of power? Does it follow the accellerator pedal progression? A little more description would help. At idle, gas engines develop power ie. torque as they spin up. How does it compare with other...

unk warning light The service manual indicates either the transmission fluid has less than 10% life or the trans fluid has reached greater than 266 degrees F. Rusty 06 V

Suspension data Did you bolt a "V" supercharger to the 4.6 liter northstar engine? Intersting as to how long it will last. Since you are being aggressive with your suspension mods, I assume you plan to stress the engine significantly. Keep us abreast of your experiences, please. Rusty '06 V

Suspension upgrade Are you kidding??? 5 seconds in an autocross event is an ETERNITY.! If you were anywhere near competitive before, Giz, Sounds like you have a clear winner now Rusty 06 "V"

xlr-v for sale I bought my 06 XLR-V with 12K miles in Rhode Island in 2009 (3 yrs old) for 42K from a Jaguar dealer. It was (and still is) immaculate, driven in Palm beach Fl. for 3 years from new. It now has 57K trouble free, enjoyment filled, miles. These cars, as beautiful as they are, were...

Has anyone looked into the effect of the (now blessed by the supreme court) fuel, "E85" ? Will it damage our engines? I have a V. Rusty

Sandy, I want one, but am not going to BG. Can you give me a lead as to how I might obtain one, please. Rusty aka klaptrapper hugoscheuer@aol.com

Brake pads I have a V, but fwiw I have a set of Hawk ceramic pads. I am very happy with that composition. They stop as well (as far as I can tell) as the oem pads. However, there is hardly any dust accumulation on my rims. They have been on the car the past 15 k miles. The down side, may be my...

UPDATE, Today, I exercised the car for approximately 100 miles. NO NOISES from the front or rear suspension. I must conclude thereby, that the sway bar links were the culprits! Rusty

The GM part # for the links (front and rear are identiclal) is: 20822934. GM parts direct has them at a reasonable cost. Rusty '06 XLR-V

Well, I took my V to the local Chevvy dealer, who has a couple good corvette techs. Seems there is a Corvette TSB for my (our) complaint. They replaced all 4 sway bar links under my GMPP policy ($0 cost to me). So far, no suspension noises! If the noise (klunk) returns, I will update this post...

Gonna make an apt with my local Chevvy dealer, then. Seems they will have a better handle on the c6 suspension than the Cadillac dealer who'se already had a shot at it.
