I would like to know if i can extend XLR caddilac Warranty for full coverage as my warranty will be ended on 11/2008 ..

so any suggestion what to do about it...or anyone did it before

There has been tons of posts on this subject, here is the list of threads containing the information on the GM/Cadillac Major Guard. http://www.xlrforum.com/search.php?searchid=125031 (http://www.xlrforum.com/search.php?searchid=125031)

it says error, the term which is used is no longer excit..hmm....

I think there is a extended warranty offered by the dealer in Dubai ( I was offered one and I have the same concern. Will check and get back to you.

By the way, I am facing some heating problems (the heat is always above 100), I took it several times and every time they tell me it is normal and every time I have "low Coolant" message coming. Any suggestions?

Put nothing but radiator coolant in and no water, this will keep it cooler.I think there is a extended warranty offered by the dealer in Dubai ( I was offered one and I have the same concern. Will check and get back to you.

Sorry, Bobbbbo, a guy told me that here in FL., when I first arrived, I had to check it out, didn't sound right, and it isn't. Google it and you'll see. . .

"Increasing the concentration of antifreeze in the coolant will raise its boiling temperature and lower its freezing point. Even so, the maximum concentration of antifreeze should usually be limited to 65% to 70% because too much antifreeze and not enough water reduces the coolant’s ability to carry heat - which increases the risk of overheating in hot weather."

If you do a search, you will find quite a few of us were complaining about very high operating temps during summer months here in the central valley of California and other hot climates around the nation.

On a good summer 110 degree afternoon, it was all our 04 could do to keep from boiling over. Those kinds of temps take their toll on other components over time, especially all that plastic under the hood. I can imagine our Dubai-based owners are seeing the same problems, but on a slightly larger scale since it is an every day issue for them.

Sorry Bobo, I too know that higher concentrations of coolant is not the way. I have had cars that run hot and the only way to assure the best heat exchange was to run 100% water in the summer. The coolant is for both anti-freezing and chemical balance (anti-rust protection).

100% water!?!?!? Wouldn't that boil away? The anti-freeze also raises the boiling point of the water.

If the water sat still, it would boil away (unless you were "watching it"??). It all relates to flow rates and heat exchange rates.

Water will exchange more efficiently at both the engine block and the radiator. It gets hotter at the block (absorption) and cools off faster (thermal transmission) at the radiator. Some cars, due to design, pump rates, flow capacity, etc. just don't move the anti-freeze around fast enough to have the heat exchange necessary, therefore a consistantly hot engine. If you go to straight 100% water, you overcome those short-comings. That is until you have below freezing weather or rust your engine/radiator.

Like he said. . .:yesnod

With The Presure Cap It Raises The Boiling Point Alot. There A Few Products ( Additives ) Out There That Claim To Lower The Temp.
