#2232 of 2281 Re: 2008 LaCrosse? [mimi9] by 62vetteefp Feb 23, 2008 (9:41 am)
Replying to: mimi9 (Feb 23, 2008 5:05 am) That is the China LaCrosse that has been around for 5 years or so. The Shangai-GM guys designed their own body and interior based on the US LaCrosse.   For 2009 the LaCrosse will be one vehicle for everyone with minor differences. ?Same interior, same exterior.
#2234 of 2281 Dashboard disassembly 2005 Lacrosse by lacrossesoaked May 29, 2008 (1:37 pm)
I have a screw loose and it is rattling somewhere behind the mid-console dashboard vents. Maybe it is not a screw but something is rattling. I am handy with tools would like to pull the dashboard off but I need a hint on how to start. Do I just pull at one of the corners or are there hidden fasteners which need to be dealt with first. Thank you. Replies to this message: hitman1970 (Jun 02, 2008 3:05 pm)

#2236 of 2281 whinning sound from engine bay by kairns Jul 08, 2008 (4:01 am)
My 2005 Allure CX has developed a high pitch whinning sound coming from the engine bay. The whinning can only be heard upon pressing the accelerator (driving or in park so I eliminate the possibilty of transmission). The noise appears to be coming from under the generator in or around the power steering unit. My car has 80,000K (50,000 M). Could this simply be the drive belt or possibly the power steering pump?   Has anyone else had this problem?

#2237 of 2281 2008 Buick Lacrosse CXL 6 speaker radio/w CD player by creed1 Jul 09, 2008 (11:54 am)
I am interested in buying a 2008 or a 2009 (when they come out) Buick Lacrosse CXL with Leather and Driver Package and Chrome wheels and I was wondering about the CXL's 6 speaker CD player radio that comes with the model. Does is sound really nice or would I be better to get the upgraded 9 speaker radio? Thanks Replies to this message: gerryc (Jul 09, 2008 2:40 pm)

Replying to: creed1 (Jul 09, 2008 11:54 am) if sound quality is of primary importance to you, consider seriously moving up to the LaCrosse CXS model as it's 3.6l engine,transmission and twin mufflers are so much quieter than the CX/CXL models. At least take both models out for an extended test drive and bring a selection of your favourite CDs with you to assess the sound differences.   I have a 6 speaker sound system on my CXS and it continues to offer symphony hall quality sound 3 years after buying it. My prior Buick Regal had the Series 3800 engine that is in the CXL and its throaty sound signature, while an interesting attribute when accelerating, was too much for the sound system in that one.
#2239 of 2281 Lacrosse sound system by rwisem Jul 11, 2008 (4:24 am)
I can't comment on the sound level of the CX or CXL, but my CXS IS one of the quietest cars I've ever driven.   I had an '05 company CSX that I liked so much I ordered an '06 CXS for my personal car. The '05 had the top 9 speaker sound system. I took a chance and only got the standard 6 speaker system in the '06. I can say that my radio sounds every bit as good as the uplevel model.

Replying to: rwisem (Jul 11, 2008 4:24 am) The "base" system in the Lacrosse is actually the midlevel system at GM. It may even be called "concert sound II" ? Cannot recall what we called it. The optionial system is the Concert sound III, though it may not be called that either.
#2241 of 2281 LaCrosse Transmission Fluid by mrrogers Jul 16, 2008 (2:42 pm)
I am ready to replace the transmission fluid in my wife's 2005 LaCrosse CXL with 19,000 miles. She had a premature transmission failure on her 1998 Regal LS at 100,000 miles, so I know that the transmission is the weak link in the drivetrain. The owners manual calls out Dextron-III approved for H - specification. When I went to my auto parts store today, it appears that there is another Dextron introduced after 2005. Any suggestions as to which one I should use? I intend to upgrade to synthetic even though GM does not install it as original equipment.
