Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, like the one in the 2003 Cadillac Seville, often experience oil leaks due to the complex gasket sealing required for the two cylinder banks.
Cooling system issues
The L37 engine is known to have problems with the cooling system, which can lead to overheating if not properly maintained.
Timing chain wear
High mileage can lead to timing chain wear, causing noise and potential engine damage if the chain fails.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The intake manifold gasket on the WRN1 L37 engine can deteriorate over time, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.
Head gasket problems
The V-shaped configuration can lead to head gasket issues, especially if the engine has been overheated.
Misfires
The V8 engine may experience misfires due to ignition coil or spark plug issues, which can affect performance and fuel economy.
Fuel injector problems
The fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This sensor can fail, causing the engine to stall or not start.
Throttle body issues
Build-up of carbon deposits in the throttle body can lead to rough idling and poor acceleration.
Valve cover gasket leaks
Over time, the valve cover gaskets can leak oil, leading to a potential fire hazard if the oil contacts the exhaust manifold.
