Buick questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Buick Enclave showing a cam timing code?
On 2008–2012 Enclaves with the 3.6L V6, timing chain stretch triggers cam timing codes and a check engine light.
Warning signs
Check engine light · Cam timing codes · Rough running
What we do
We confirm chain stretch and replace the chains, guides and tensioners together.
Why is my Buick using oil?
Some 2010–2013 LaCrosse and Regal models with the 2.4L use oil because the piston rings stick.
Warning signs
Low oil between changes · Oil light
What we do
We run an oil consumption test before recommending a repair.
Why is my Buick Encore leaking coolant?
The 1.4L turbo is known for coolant leaks from housings, the water pump and turbo coolant lines.
Warning signs
Low coolant · Sweet smell · Overheating
What we do
We pressure-test the system and replace the failed part.
Why is my older Buick losing coolant?
On the 3.8L V6 in LeSabres, Centurys and others, intake manifold gaskets are a common coolant leak.
Warning signs
Coolant loss · Sweet smell · Overheating
What we do
We pressure-test and replace the intake gaskets.
How often should my Buick transmission be serviced?
Servicing transmission fluid on schedule — sooner with towing or heavy use — helps it last.
Signs it's overdue
Harsh shifts · Slipping
What we do
We service it with the correct fluid.
