During my intercooler research I discovered that although the 2006\/2007 Cadillac STS-V had a intercooler coolant expansion\/overflow reservoir, the 2008\/2009 STS-V just has a tube that drains to in front of the battery.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Looking at the system, I suspect that this is because the expansion\/overflow is not really needed.\u00a0 I wanted one though, so I reached out to ebay and picked one up.<\/p>\n

Cadillac STS-V Intercooler Coolant expansion\/overflow reservoir<\/p><\/div>\n

This is a photo of the new overflow installed; it is the white tank to the left.\u00a0 The reservoir bolted right in of course, as it is shaped to fit in that spot.\u00a0 The tube was tied off to a support, so I disconnected it, plugged it into the reservoir, and it seems set.<\/p>\n

The reservoir is vented to atmosphere, so it is not pressurized.<\/p>\n

Started my Friday morning by washing the STS-V with the 2-bucket method, car shampoo, and a microfiber towel for scrub, then microfiber towels for drying.\u00a0 In the 2-bucket method one bucket is used for clean water\/soap, the other bucket is used for dirty water and wringing.\u00a0 So dip the scrub sponge or towel in the clean soap\/water, scrub the car, then wash it off and wring it out over the dirty water bucket, repeat.<\/p>\n

If I get out by 7 am the sun is not over the house yet and there is time to wash and dry.<\/p>\n

I love Cadillac hats anyway, but I don’t have one that I keep in the V.\u00a0 Clearly I need to change that.<\/p>\n

With the nicely clean STS-V I needed to drop by Lowe’s to pickup a fan my Wife had ordered, then grab breakfast, and head to my day. Nice summer morning for Texas at 82F, so\u00a0 I put the sunroof open, the windows down, and enjoyed the morning.\u00a0 By the time I arrived at destination my hair was uniformly disheveled in a fairly comical way, straight up on one side and randomly placed everywhere else.<\/p>\n

No, I didn’t grab a photo.\u00a0 Yes, I’ll be adding a car hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
