It took me almost a year to find my V and I’m so glad I held out. I got lucky enough to find a low mileage, one owner, accident free vehicle and I got a top of the line warranty to with it which has proven to be money well spent. Happy Hunting! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful dog! And the XLR looks pretty good too![emoji267][emoji41][emoji267] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a very old document but the first list on page one is the approved motor oil manufacturers for the standard required for the XLR (GM4718M). I’m sure if you dig around you might find a more current list. http://stuartschmitt.com/car/gm_approved_engine_oils.pdf Sent from my iPhone...

Right! I knew I had heard the acronym before, but it escaped me when I read your original post. Glad you located the problem. I always unplug my phone charger from the console port because I have absolutely no confidence that it will shut itself down. Unlike in my 2011 CTS which is much less...

Please forgive me but I can’t seem to recall what “URPA” means. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder if that can be installed over my aftermarket tunnel cover? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just had a very cool remote start module installed on my 2011 CTS which uses the stock key fob to trigger the ignition by pressing the lock button 3 times. I wonder if there's any such product that can be as easily integrated into my '06 XLR-V? Anyone?

I negotiated a top of the line Lexus Pre-Owned service contract when I purchased the car. Because all 4 shocks were leaking they qualified for replacement. Zero deductible to boot! [emoji267][emoji41][emoji267] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s common for these to leak after 10 years or more. I had all four of mine replaced under warranty last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I felt exactly the same about my plate upgrade. Money well spent. Glad your experience was the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A point of note: I have an 06 V and run the same Corsa Kit on it that is spec’d for the Base XLR. I spoke to the R&D folks at Corsa and they agreed the dimensions are identical in both. The stock V system uses the same vacuum actuated valves in the resonators to regulate flow used in the...

Welcome aboard. Like several other members here, I opted for the Corsa cat-back system which works right out of the box. I have one on my 2006 XLR-V series and it sounds wonderful. Just The right amount of growl when you’re in it and perfectly burbling when you’re not. I did have mine welded...

Wow. Well congratulations on your purchase. Yes, headlamp and taillamp assemblies are hard to come by and are pretty expensive when they do. That’s a fair amount of codes you got there. I hope you got some kind of warranty when you bought the car. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone...

When my mechanic was installing my new shocks, I had him check the bolts and he noted about 70% needed to be tightened and 3 we’re missing which he replaced. He applied a heat resistant Permatex Silicone Sealant to all of them. Very happy with the lower heat transfer than the stock piece of...

They do look very similar, but side-by-side you can see exactly how different they are in shape, size, dimension and even functionality. They are, however, no easier to service and the XLR units, which I discovered while changing both low beams and the fog lamps.

I had been taking my time shopping for my next daily driver when the storms hit. I sold my 2014 Wrangler Rubicon with 14k miles on it for $34,000 to a dealer in Dallas. Two weeks before Carmax offered me $29,500. I had been looking at CTS wagons. Reasonably priced, low mileage, one owner...

Have a great trip. And let us know if you notice a decrease in heat transfer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After rolling on my Conti's for a full year you couldn't pay me to go back. But I'll bet someone will be interested. If not here than on eBay. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Mark0! You must have an 07-09 V series, yes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
