#61 of 64 06 cts by mymymy Oct 12, 2009 (11:21 pm)
Has anyone had problem with '06 cts over heating--coolant was in the car? Without warning the car over heated, causing problem to the radiator and the transmission. Dealer estimated will costs over $6,000 to replace both.

Replying to: angelmarie415 (Mar 05, 2008 9:19 am) Same thing happened to me today. Exactly. Can you tell me what the diagnosis and repair was? Replies to this message: mymymy (Oct 25, 2009 2:42 pm)

Replying to: wilsoncts (Oct 23, 2009 8:15 pm) wilsoncts: Turns out the over heating caused major damage to the radiator, which caused a crack to the "wall" (my word) between the transmission and radiator. Thus coolant fluids got into the tranmission fluid which caused the car to almost literally stop moving.   Part of the repair was to replace the radiator and drain the tranmission of the contaminated fluids, which looked like thin mud). A solvant was used in the transmission to help clean out contaminated fluids. Fluids were put in the transmission and the new radiator.   The recommended mechanic didn't find exactly what caused the car to overheat,
#64 of 64 Timing Chain by stu8me Nov 06, 2009 (7:18 pm)
Just recently bought an 05 CTS. After a month of owning the car I had to take it to the dealership for engine issues, it was the timing chain. After a month, fixed, I continued on my routine. 2 months later same problem, timing chain. Brought it back even more upset, fixed in a month and now I have it back again. Issues are arising in it again. My guess is an issue with cam shaft or the main berring. The only way this would have been an issue is if the car was flooded prior to me buying, which dealer provided me with clean carfax.....can anyone help me out on this?   thanks
