A little rattle in the supercharger has never been a concern of mine. Neither the whining noise as all superchargers whine. Take off the engine cover and you'll hear even more whine. Some people like the whine as it screams supercharger. I'm going to drive mine and not worry about it.

I've had my 2011 CTS V Wagon since December 2010 and it's been very dependable. I hear a little supercharge rattle but not enough to concern me. It's been doing that a long time without any issues. The biggest issues I have are the tire life and the gas mileage. :wink: Mine has a little over...

Congratulations on your purchase of a CTS V. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Oh yeah. No problems since.

My little red V-Wagon was 8 last week and I missed it. I took delivery of Speed Wagon December 7th, 2010. It's been a good 8 years! :smile: :biggrin:

It's been a while since Speed Wagon was on a road trip, so it was time to stretch it's legs. My wife and I took Speed Wagon to Midland, TX to see the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum and to see the Chaparral 2J run. The museum houses Jim Hall's collection of Chaparral sports racing cars and one...

The Volt was the only car I ever leased. New technology that we didn't want to get stuck with if it didn't work out. So, we leased. It turned out to be a very good car. Our electric bill went up about 5-bucks a month and that included charging it every night. If you were to buy a Volt, your...

Had a volt. Might still have it if Ally hadn't wanted so much for it at the end of the lease. The Volt was a good car and did everything GM promised it would do. Susan had a 37 mile round trip every day. Our Volt was rated for 35 miles on a charge but regularly got more than that. Susan went...

Double Wow! The bad luck you've been having with your ATS's is incredible. Did you check the tires on the BB? Does it have the same alignment set-up? Same tires? It's no wonder you don't have much hair on the top of you head. ;)

It's still there. I think the price is coming down.

Speed Wagon posed for a photographer over the weekend. Here's one of the shots. It still looks pretty good for a 7 year, 9 month old car with 42,000+ miles

So, I was down at my favorite Cadillac dealer getting a tire pressure sensor replaced and found a 2014 V Wagon for sale. 52K miles, Black on Black, Auto, No Sun roof. According to their website, they're asking $49K. Interested, check out www.bobmoorecadillacnorman.com/

I'll knock on a little wood for you also. I guess GM isn't in any hurry to find out why your engine gets oil in the turbo.

I had the coolant changed but didn't think about the intercooler back then. Oh well.

Oh Yeah! All is good again. Not cheap but the V Wagon is worth it.

It is a simple fix but not cheap. The heat exchanger (radiator) is leaking and must be replaced. BTW, my dealer loaned me an XT5 while my V Wagon is in the shop. I've been wanting to test drive one just to see if the big SUV might be something I would want. The answer is NO! The XT5 is huge...

Over the weekend, I noticed that the intercooler coolant was a little low. So I added some. Only to have some of it leak out under the nose of the V Wagon. I get down on my hands and knees and I see that the intercooler radiator is wet on the bottom. So, the V Wagon is at my favorite...

I'm planning to be in El Reno, OK this coming Saturday for "Burger Day" with the V Wagon. There will be an open car show and street party. It's all clean and ready to go.

Just wondering - is it possible that the oil feed to the turbos is under too much pressure, causing the oil to bypass the seals there?

Even though my V Wagon never gets much time off, it hasn't been cleaned properly since winter set in last year. So, today was cleaning day. Washed it, vacuumed it, checked it over. Here are some pictures to prove it. 7 years, 4 months old - ~40,000 miles 6-sp manual, no sun roof Only...
