Well, car has been back at the dealership lately for a couple of things. First of all, I finally got a new backup camera installed. It had been kinda flickery when I was putting it in reverse on cold/damp days. They didnt bother trying to track it down, just put a new camera in and it hasn't done it since.
There's been a ton of recalls/TSBs on the car, and while i've had it in for normal service, they've done most of them. The ECU was reflashed for some reason, the sunroof buttons swapped out, axle shaft seals replaced (that was just because the mech noticed them leaking more than they should..at all?)
The most recent thing - I've gotten a CEL about a week ago..stayed on for a day or two so I took it in. I noticed it seemed a little more sluggish than normal, told the guy that when I dropped it off. They went over it, called me and said it was showing a vacuum leak but they couldn't find it. They ended up a few hours later finding a pinhole leak in the turbo inlet. Replaced that pipe, and gave me some printout showing AFR going from like 25% to 9% - does that make any sense to anyway?
Furthermore, would a pinhole leak really cause a sensor to throw a code? Seems really sensitive if so.
Anyway, the CEL stayed off for about 2 hours after I picked it up, and is back on again now. Guess I'll take it back over this afternoon. Moore Cadillac has been awesome to deal with as far as their service, making sure I always had a loaner, etc..its just the pain in the ass of having to get over there. Luckily now my new job is right down the road from it.
