I finally purchased a 2006 XLR!!! But I have yet to enjoy it.
On the way home from purchasing the XLR (as is) the check engine light comes on. The dealership in Gainsville Florida said bring it back and they will look at it. They said they replaced the cam position sensor. Next day,Pinging / Detonation Sound and check engine light on. Decided to take to my local Cadillac Dealership. I was informed next day cam gear needs replaced. Oh and water pump leaks and it needs rear brake pads. VERY long story short: the water pump and brakes are done. HOWEVER…They need to get a tool (to secure the timing chain) and it was gonna take a day or so. Timing chain tool came in, and the gear replaced. During the test drive the check engine light came back on. I was told last week the mechanic was waiting on tech support to get back with him on the codes it is throwing. It took 5 days for a Cadillac tech to get back with the Cadillac Dealership?! Really! Are they that swamped with issues? The mechanic was advised to replace the positive wire to the ECM. Hope that is the fix. They have had my car longer than me, 15 days.
