I just put in a new [radiator](/topics-radiator-cadillac/) and it blew the cooler line out of the radiator at the quick coupler Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the car? Has any work ever been done on the radiator? Not prior to me putting new one in and it has 172000 Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 03 cadillac [cts](/topics-cts/) Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your CTS yourself?
