    Rear Main Seal leak

    12,500 miles, tire shop noted "minor leak." No puddle on the ground, but concerning. Any others experience this early on the CT4BW?

    Ct4 v Blackwing air filter install

    Reviving this thread: Anyone report measurable differences with these filters? WONT TAP: any feedback? Some sources say the better airflow actually has the ECU reducing net output, but this doesn't smell right...

    If you are a member of the VClub, post this tale of woe on their member-only page. Several Cadillac execs do monitor that site and have helped several of us with various things stuck in the mill....

    Personalized license plate

    Long story why mine is JSMOSBY. Original car with it was gray. It might be a trivia question which Civil War history buffs or professionals would answer. Yankees and the period-ignorant may request enlightenment.

    Rear license plate

    Assuming the same setup as my 2023 there are no retainers behind front or back plate locations. Since the rear panel is cheap junk fiber, I drilled the holes a bit larger and put in the square push-in retainers. No major expansion, but the screws wont loosen. Front is same, but the material is...

    CLA 45 AMG v. CT4 V Blackwing

    I traded a GLA545 for the 4bw. Not much different from the CLA, and I agree with much of the OP's list. I was constantly reminded that the G/C are Mercedes entry level cars, and don't convey the quality of the next steps up. It was a fun little hotrod, especially with some minor tweaking, but...

    Ligui Moly??

    As to my "good results" I saw a measurable increase in gas mileage and and not-so-measurable smoothness improvement in moderate acceleration. I'm not intending to use their oil, as it is not listed as licensed Dexos, just the additive in my 4BW. Redline, as mentioned above, is not on the Dexos...

    Removing grille emblem - 4BW

    Well, tried to reach through and couldn't get to tabs. Just took a Vice Grip, grabbed the top center of the badge and pulled. Broke off the top of the badge, but it came right off. Tape around it if you're going to try it that way!!

    Removing grille emblem - 4BW

    Not really seeing how my fingers get to tabs. Did you loosen the top of the grille to get to the emblem from the top area? I suppose I will look at the replacement to get a better idea, but it seems the structure around the sensor prevents access...

    Removing grille emblem - 4BW

    Any special technique to remove the emblem? Not the entire ACC sensor, just the badge.

    Wiring harness issue

    Got the letter; dealer has to inspect first then order part. Two trips to dealer if it needs the work.

    Front "winglets?"

    Some pics of 4BW show small winglets above the front spoiler. Aftermarket or option? P/N?
