I comes from the factory with orange Dexcool. That is what GM recommends. By 2002, I think Cadillac may have stopped recommending the coolant tabs. On older models, there was a sticker on the motor/plastic fan cover/somewhere under there, that gave the part number for the tabs. You only need to add tabs if you dump all the old coolant out. Since you can't get all ... Read More...

Written by: bena8837 on Oct 27, 2008 08:05 AM

I have read in the owner's manual of this vehicle not to add anything other than Dex-Cool 50-50. I have also read on another forum that they talk about adding the GM Coolant System Seal Tabs. What is the proper thing to do? Read More...

No..and I've had a change of heart...thanks for your reply....My Chrysler, so I've been told by several people is worth more than an equal car because of demand for a Chrysler 300M body style, in excellent condition before they changed to the mafia 300M.......which, in my opinion, by comparison, has no style at all......

You might want to adjust the value of your 300m down to $8-8500 then look at the deal again. You might also consider how well maintained each vehicle is re: fluid changes that can be documented. The Caddy is an unknown quantity while you know your car so that needs to be considered. Parts for Caddy's are higher but maybe nothing will go wrong. Have you driven the Cadillac? Read More...

I have been given the opportunity to buy a 2002 Cadillac DeVille that looks like it just came out of the showroom. It is in impeccable condition with 36.000 miles, never driven in snow or salt. The seller deals in very expensive original old cars. I have a 2002 Chrysler 300M and if I pay him the $12,000 asking price..it would almost be like making an even trade. My Chrysler ...

Re: 2002 DeVille "Check Coolant Level" message stays on [tcacar]

Written by: bolivar on Sep 25, 2007 10:45 AM

Well, the sensor 'thinks' the coolant level is low. The sensor is the 'surge' tank, which is the tank under the cap where you fill the coolant. Sometimes the sensor is just dirty, sometimes it has failed. In any case, I think the tank is going to have to be removed. Which means that a couple of hoses will have to be pulled off. Pulling these hoses off may not be real easy. ... Read More...

Cadillac DeVille dead battery

Written by: bossalways1024 on Jan 02, 2008 11:35 AM

2002 DeVille, BATTERY GOES DEAD IF NOT STARTED AT LEAST EVERY 3 DAYS. At least 6 incidents of dead battery in the last 4 months; I've also been on disability for the last 4 months and not driving my beloved Kizzy Baby daily. After a few hours of reading I'm getting the idea that there are items drawing power from the battery even when the car is off. I have seen my service ... Read More...
