I have a small shop that pulled the engine on my STS (blown head gasket)---repairs went great, but cannot get gas gauge to work....Any ideas.... Thanks... KW

Could not recommend I bought my sts (2002) in 2005.... it had 34,000 miles.....It now has 112,000..... Good thing I bought an extended warranty as it has been nothing but trouble..... The most recent problem is the head gasket-----they tell me it will cost at least $4000 to repair...

Has anyone had to replace a headlight on a STS.....My low beam is out on the driver's side and everyone is quoting me $435. for the light plus 2 hrs. labor to install.......I almost fainted when I heard this.... Thanks for comments. KW

Lash Adjusters Thanks you LS98....I'm totally unfamiliar with the term "lash adjusters"---will check it out... I do appreciate your response. KW

A few months ago I posted that my 2002 STS (that I'd had purchased a few months earlier) had what sounds like valve chatter (click,click or tick tick) especially when engine is cold...I received some consoling words from a couple members but the noise is distracting---and other people have...

Other than appearance? Thanks Greg and Thamarkman, but other than appearance is there any thing else it would affect... KW

Have been trying to find tires in local area for my STS....The size on vehicle is 235-55-17 98H....Local Goodyear dealer is out of the Triple Tread Assurance but advised me I could use the 225-55-17 size...Is this OK or a bad idea.... (The 235-55-17 is in short supply around here but 225-55-17...

Triple Tred Thanks Don: Consumer Report also gave them a high rating...I stopped at the Cadillac dealer and asked them for a price on these tires and they said GY didn't make them in my size (235-55-17)...Guess I'd better ask again... KW

Puzzled about tire selection for STS The time has come to replace my original tires...The Goodyear Eagle RS-A are about done with 44,000 miles.... Would like something with a little better tread life and not so expensive.... Jamler recommended the Hankook Ventus but they are not easily...

442 Mike: Thanks ... Thank you Mike: I was just reviewing some of my threads and hadn't seen this response...This is very good and I do appreciate... KW

Thanks Mac, but no vibration... Thanks MAC but there is no humming or vibration...Just a slight rubbing (wuff, wuff) noise as the wheels rotate... KW

My 2002 STS has 43,000 miles---and the tires are starting to show wear...When making sharp turns at slow speeds (on a quiet street) I can hear a "woof, woof or wuff, wuff" sound---from front end, as the wheels rotate... Is this normal...Could it be coming from the tires---inside the wheel...

Sts Mpg Hi Mike, I've had a 2002 STS since last summer but haven't done enough long trips to properly evaluate mileage---however, my "in town" mileage is poor---around 14 mpg...Last summer my road trips with AC seemed to average around 22 mpg...(The STS 2002 mileage est. is same as your...

Yes Mark.... Yes Mark, it is kind of hard to justify keeping this car from an economic perspective...I'm going to be paying over $400 per month for the next four years...I guess the question becomes, would I be better off applying this money toward another car with better value...At this...

Thanks Aaron... Thank you for the encouragement---I would like to keep the car...One important factor is that the local dealer service dept. is less than a mile from where I live... KW
