Good morning!
New to forum and just wanted a place that I could search the threads and get some feedback if necessary. Just picked up an 04 CTS-V from a Mecum auction in Kissimmee and would like to get more familiar with the car.
It has meticulous service records but it looks like I might need to do some more preventative maintenance such as motor mounts (which from a quick glance underneath and the "diesel" effect when turning the car on and off seem to be either already shot or almost completely gone) and possibly search for a coolant leak somewhere as the nav system recently indicated for me to check it a couple times (apparently there's a couple spots on this car that crack or leak such as at the radiator).
Not sure what to do about the leak quite yet because I haven't been able to spot one from a cursory glance under the hood but I think I'm going to go with Creative Steel's Elimivibe mounts. Looks like a bit of a adventure to get them in but we'll see.
Glad to be here!
