Replying to: jigyman (Aug 15, 2006 7:26 am) OKAy.. for anyone who has blown a motor (timing belt tensioner) MASSIVE amounts of coolant will leak into the exhaust. It took 3 hours of the car running to correct the smoking. Of course she has developed the dreaded leak at the top of the motor in the back. I'll fix that eventually. But the good news is that shes ready for the road again ...

Replying to: mark1961 (Jul 03, 2006 5:35 am) I have a 99 Catera and had the same problem. My oil cooler had to be replaced because it was leaking oil into the water system, and also leaking water on the back of the engine. The oil cooler is mounted under the intake on the engine. Cadilac charged me 750.00 to change it out. I wish I had done it my self because it is fairly easy to get to. Usually you can find new oil coolers on E-bay for about half what Cadilac will charge. Hope this will help. Replies to this message: caterajunk (Aug 27, 2006 5:33 pm) deweese28 (Sep 04, 2006 10:59 am) brandon5 (Aug 25, 2007 11:25 am)

Has anyone found out if we Catera owners can do anything about the problems we are having. I was told i had a bad headgasket but after he got into the engine he discovered it was a coolant leak 1200.00. Before that timing chain kit problem 1100.00. Please let me know if General Motors will reimbuse us for anything, we all seem to experience the same problems which has left a nasty taste in my mouth for cadillac autos

#218 of 1216 1999 Catera by caterajunk Sep 04, 2006 (3:33 pm)
Hi Rodney,   I have a 2000 Catera and just got it out of shop. My oil pressure was dropping and I could smell oil. First they said I had a bad gasket then after they took the car apart they discover a coolant leak. He said there is a radiator in the engine that was leaking which caused oil and water to mix together. I paid $1200.00 and drove the car 600 miles. Seems to be ok. I am just praying for the car to hold up untill next year this time when I will be done paying for it. I already replaced timimg belt kit. $1100.00. Be careful these cars have aluminum engines and can not take heat. Mine overheated and the computor shut down had to have it towed.   Good Luck, Sharron Replies to this message: adosch (Jul 21, 2007 5:57 am) vicktorlac (Aug 16, 2007 10:11 am) caterajunk (Aug 24, 2007 12:58 am) nogm4me (Nov 01, 2007 4:46 pm)
#219 of 1216 1998 Catera Electrical Problem by thomas22 Sep 09, 2006 (2:10 pm)
I have a 1998 Cateria that I am having an electrical problem with. I have no power to anything on the car.   I have checked all of the fuses and they are all alright. I have traced the current from the battery to the inside fuse box on the car. (I also checked all the fuses under the hood). I get no current to the switch, head lights, interior lights or anything. As far as the anything operating on the car that is electricial, it is dead.   Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I should check and a method to check what ever is suggested? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: parisdad (Jan 02, 2008 6:39 pm)
