GM P/N 10528686 or equivalent (green ethylene glycol based, 50/50 mix with distilled water)
Common Engine Issues:
Intake manifold gasket leaks, fuel injector issues, potential for oil leaks from valve covers and oil pan gaskets. The 4.9L V8 is generally robust but can develop typical wear-and-tear items.
Common Transmission Issues:
3-4 shift clutch wear in the 4T60-E transmission, solenoid issues, and potential for torque converter shudder. Regular fluid changes are critical.
Common Electrical Issues:
Faulty power window regulators, issues with climate control modules, aging sensor failures, and intermittent electrical connections due to corrosion or wear.
Common Suspension Issues:
Worn control arm bushings, ball joints, and strut mounts are common wear items on front-wheel-drive vehicles of this era, leading to noise and poor handling.
Cadillac Legacy:
Cadillac has a long history of producing personal luxury coupes and sedans, with the Eldorado being a flagship model representing style, comfort, and advanced technology for its time.
