It's the hard drive winding down.
or obtuseness, for that matter. So don't put whitewalls or other after-market bling
on you CTS, or G35x, or whatever you ultimately choose to buy. Being a "purist"
seems to suit you best.
Those are "add on" old man wheels that really belong on the DTS and larger caddy's.......but to say that you cant see beyond that and appreciate what they have done to this 08 model really befuddles me....I too believe you probably wanted a rice burner. To each his own...enjoy the rice burner.
Very creative and very funny!! LOL
Also had drivers door panel replaced because that door came from the factory without the accent lighting in the panel....both taken care of 2 days. Car is awesome but I still want the 2008 AWD model brake pedal too close to the gas pedal issue to be recognized by GM.
It's just about 1/2 inch too close causing my tilted size 10 foot to "clip" the brake pad when applying gas. Non AWD models are different and that problem does not exist.
1) Pop the hood and stand facing the engine
2) Look on the right side of the engine just to the right side of that huge plastic top engine cover.
3) There is a silver canister with a 1 inch nut built into the canister.
4) Unscrew it and there is the filter.
PS - It's not 1 inch but close to it....could be metric too I forget.
If your picture is wider than the text area, you need to resize it in order to display it. You can do this manually by adding height and width paramenters to your image display (e.g., height="312" width="444"), or you can post it on your CarSpace page and use the automatically generated text to do it for you.
Or you can just post a link to it instead of displaying it.
Thanks for your cooperation.
I bought my 08 CTS back in October,and love it! The only thing I THOUGHT it was lacking was a sun visor feature that allows you to block the sun coming in the gap in the driver's window. Here I am thinking, 42K for a car, and I still have to hold my hand up to block the friggin sun?? Now, it may seem like a minor issue to some, but it was almost a deal breaker for me! I bought the car anyway, just cause it looked so good!
Anyway, today I was fiddling around with the visor, and much to my surprise, found out it sort of telescopes out, allowing you to position it whereever the sun may be! I don't recall this being mentioned anywhere in the brochure, and the salesman said nothing about it, and it doesn't LOOK like it has that ability. I was extremely pleased, cause that had been the ONE thing I was very disappointed in. I love this car- it's the gift that keeps on giving!
Anyway, so now I feel stupid, and happy all at the same time! This must be how Paris Hilton feels everyday!
Happy New Year everyone!
Awesome writeups and credentials. Just when I'm ready to change my mind and buy the 2008 CTS, I find out they're anticipating a coupe version out this coming Summer. Now I'm REALLY torn! Any truth to that rumor?
While I don't see me finding any SEXIER car than the XLR, it's cost prohibitive for me. Sure, I could buy one a couple of years old, but then it's not really new any longer. I could certainly wait until August if in fact Cadillac presents a coupe version of the CTS - CTC?
What's the buzz...and excuse this poorly written first post in this forum.
Good line -- though the condition may be more common than you think; ignorance is bliss & all that.
Sounds like the CTS sun visor has returned to what was fairly common in the 50's -- the whole visor could be pulled out a few inches on the rod it rotated on.
Good luck with the new car.
I picked up my CTS on the 28th, after ordering it over two months ago (Platinum exterior, black interior, RWD, DI engine, all options minus sunroof, nav). Fantastic car. The ambient lighting at night really is a 'must-have'.
My real question is: How can I safely remove the little GM "chiclet" behind the front wheels. I like the company, I bought their product, but to me the chiclet is a blemish I'd like removed. Has anyone done it, and how?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

All it is is adhesive tape. Comes right off with no damage.
Yea, don't remove them as that is what holds the engine together :P
As to using nail polish remover, it is a very powerful solvent. I would try it first on an inconspicuous spot such as on the inside bottom edge of the door before trying it on the fender. There are a number of products sold specifically designed to remove gums and stickums without damaging painted surfaces which would be much better.
Try a little WD 40
GM spent 10's of millions of dollars designing the car and the placement of the GM emblems, why remove it?

I must have been starting my NYE celebration early when I wrote that.
WD-40 it is!
I can't say I share your enthusiasm for the XLR, to my mind it's blinged up Corvette for about 20K more money. My advice, buy a CTS or a Vette or wait for the CTC.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers has more information.
I would also suggest that you use the spell check before posting message.
The fuel injectors on the direct injection V6 are located in the cylinder and lower octane fuel than recomended can cause knock, which may harm the insides of the cylinder including the injectors.
Again, best of luck
After parking I noticed check engine light was on. I called On Star for a diagnostic check. On Star reported they received two notices from my cars computer: 1. transmission problem and 2. shifting mechanism problem. Diagnostic report gave instructions to take car to dealer immediately. I plan to be at dealer Monday at 7:30AM when service opens.
Ten years ago all Cadillac's came with a built in "garage door opener" but one can spend $43,000 for the 2008 CTS with luxury upgrades and have a car that doesn't have a garage door opener. The car manual shows one installed as standard equipment but I have this car and General Motors has gone on record to say that one cannot be installed on my car. The compartment for this equipment is on the car but no wiring has been installed for this provision. This is a big disappointment for a car that is highlighted by General Motors as the Cadillac of the year.
...but what on Earth would make you think the CTC will be a rebadged Camaro? They are not even on the same architecture yet (Zeta Camaro vs Sigma CTS). Did Cadillac create the CTS as a rebadged G8? NO! Don't worry. GM is back on track and as we have seen from the GMT900s, CTS, Malibu, and Enclave, every successive launch from here on out will be extraordinary.
