This Cadillac CTS-V is a stock example of the first-generation M5-Fighter. When the CTS-V came out, it was truly shocking: a Corvette drivetrain in a sedan, with just as much power as the BMW M5. Now, these first-generation cars are affordable, and this is a clean example.
**In this video, the car's oil temperature gauge incorrectly begins to read a very high temperature, while the car was operating normally. There was/is a Technical Service Bulletin for this issue, from the year of this car's production, 2004, and an ECU reflash from GM will fix the broken gauge. - Авто та транспорт
"we'll get sweaty and see what happens..." Not a line you expect to hear on a smoking tire video.. lol
Bar Gym I've come to expect nothing less at this point.

And that's after the "Straighter or tighter?" at the start of the drive :P
Let's not forget the "rear end issues" at the end of the video
Oil temp was due to the solar eclipse causing a venus retrograde situation.
detaart I swear God if I'm going to sell my car and something won't work properly I'll say the same thing
Should have hung one of those crystals from the rear view to capture some of that negative energy.
Recommend: Take it in for an alignment--of your chakras.
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
What's weird is there were cars on side of the road broke down during that solar eclipse.
"It's completely stock but has...." classic The Smoking Tire opening line from the guest there hahaha!
I have a 2005 ctsv as a weekend car and I took it out on some twisty, curvy, hilly, backroads where I live and it handled very well. I was doing 85 mph in spots where the speed limit was 30 with the windows down blasting guns and roses and going through all the gears like a mad man. It was amazing! The whole adventure was a blast.
Same here minus the same roads
The ground on that oil sensor is bad is all. 329* is the max temp, which means it's pegged and seeing no ground. Common problem on the V. Too bad this one hadn't had that fixed which interfered with a legit review.
Your absolutely correct. Mine did the same.
Im getting one of these so thank yall for pointing it out.
@@armaggedon4christ Good luck bro I love driving mine on the weekends I got to Maggie in it.
Grant Possehl what about the v6 Cadillac CTS stick shift?
@@sanchopancho1918 Yuck
Cazab offered me $2,425 for my 2014 Mazda3 S GT... A dealer offered me $17,800 on a trade three weeks ago.
Several folks already mentioned it. Oil temp issue is caused by poor ground connections. I preemptively fixed it on my 05 CTS-V by cleaning the grounds on the passenger side fender as well as behind the passenger side head. I did that work 6+ years ago and the highest oil temps I ever saw was 285F on The Dragon. I was non-stop pounding the car at low speeds and it did awesome, including the brakes.
That either makes it work or not work. His is working they just can't handle abuse their meant to sell to people who's gonna play 10 seconds and cruise. This guy was dogging it over and over the temp was red hot. Only way to fix that is to put a cool hood on and a bigger oil cooler and fan
Never heard anyone refer to a cts as a large vehicle
That's what I was thinking lol!
Colby Perry the 1st gen is small next to 2 n 3rd gen
"You know about what cars are worth"
Cazab offers $1400 for a mint 2013 Scion XB. WTF.
to be fair, knowing what theyre worth is different from paying you what theyre worth.
sorry man. no offense. your scion xb is not an actual car. I don't even look at those things myself. its just downright disrespectful
Arch417 yeah, that’s wayyyy too much lol
Lmfao
A scion is a UGLY piece of SHIT toyota GARBAGE
Are you people still complaining about the adds and reclames that Matt's doing ? For real ?!
He is has been pumping FREE godlike car content for YEARS, taking from his time and money, I would have supported him throughout the years if I had money, seriously, but what does he get in return... ? You can't even watch a single add even when you CAN skip it?? If you are so butthurt just skip a damn minute and continue watching, nobody has to read your sad comments and complaints...
Stefan Supra stop bitching yourself.
It's true the complaining is ridiculous but these videos don't take away from his money they make him more money
Freak Nasty do you even own a car? Any videos on UA-cam? 💀
+boosted 2.4 Do you realise that watching adds generates money, not watching videos in general, moreover, ppl purchasing the products that he promotes don't directly translate to profit
What you leasing freak nasty? Sure it's awesome.... quick make something up about how it's not a Hyundai
The fact that Matt does his own ads is the best part of this channel. Prefer that 1000% over traditional ads.
I guess this is when sponsors weren’t everywhere
Cazab website offered to buy my 2013 BMW for $180. Yes $180
That sucks when they offered me 585$ for my 2008 Kia rondo!
I got $260 for my 2008 Scion
lol 2,200 for my 2015 Ford fiesta ST
i offer $280 ! :D
630 for a 2002 CLK 500. Won't even accept an 1986 E-class somehow. Turd website. Waste of 2 valuable mins of my life.
It's a nice car, 4-doors, manual transmission, rwd and Corvette engine, perfect combo for me. Check for that oil temperature.
The culprit in his case turned out to be the ground right under the hood support and very easy to get at.
Reading a DVM from the bolt head to battery negative showed almost 1/2 volt! (450 mv).
We removed the 15 mm bolt, added a 3/8" "star" washer (between lug and frame) and the voltage dropped to less then 50 mv.
All the problems vanished.
I had an 05 CTS-V and that oil temp gauge was an issue. The common fix was to ground it or get your own gauge properly installed. The rearends were weak and the rear diff pumpkins could even crack the casing. The transmission was garbage too. The syncros would go out within 25k miles. Other than that, the car was a great handling car.
Bosplya winner!!!!!
Yep. Common. Shoulda kept beating on it...it was fine. Never heard of syncro issues, however - No different internally than every other T-56 out there.
Bart Small yep, can be syncro issues when factory issues aren't fixed and you get up into high mileage. this car was a very poor example of the capability of the v1
Bart Small how about the t56 mn6/mn12 in the c5 & c5z do there ls6 oil temp or syncro issues. How bout the diff they come with clutch type lsd seems strong
100% true. I had 3 rear ends under warranty, and 1 warranty trans replacement which of course didn't help. Rebuilt again by Tick with better syncros and it was perfect. Motor mounts went out every 20k too. Driveshaft was a POS too. Oh don't forget the plastic end tanks on the radiator, 3 of those under warranty each time they snapped off.
The ctsv brembos of this gen is a direct fit to g8s. Rotors, brake pads, calipers, bolts etc cost about $500. Great upgrade for g8s.
GTO's as well.
@@DugEphresh do they clear stock gto wheels tho?
Kudos for the guy for exercising restraint and not being an idiot with the mods. Great sleeper.
for the average joe, it looks like a rental caddy. No crazy rims, aero bits, hood vents, other garbage. Clean. So yeah, it is a sleeper. Could be more of a sleeper, yeah, but compared to rental spec that it still looks like, it is.
Cazab wants to buy a 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish for $150. Lmfao.
Said my 2010 Ford Ranger with 94,000mi was worth $2,581. But I'm willing to take the hit if you want to trade straight up. LOL
They offered me $35 :(
I dont know wtf is going on, but im sold champ!
When he picks tight and all you wanna see is some WOT pulls 😂😂
Man GM interiors sucked a decade ago...
Simon Coles but so did every American car..
Simon Coles Not really, they had their flaws but they are much more rugged than the competitors. The interior of my 300,000 mile 2004 DTS is very nice for having such extensive use. Only about 3 or 4 main wearing points. The same cannot be said for German or Japanese cars - especially of the era!
They still do. Much improved, but still lagging behind their German and Japanese competition.
three too many words there :P
Still do unless you go top of the range models. Only exception is the latest gen camaro.
Oil pan sending units are known to be questionable. Mine read hot very often until I replaced it.
Yes, the interiors are crap and the rest of the car has the cheap 00's GM vibe. But they are infinitely tuneable and the most of the issues are well known and can be resolved.
My 04 has over 125K, and while the original LS6 dropped a valve spring at 100K, the trans and rear have been solid. I have a Texas Speed 408" LQ9 stroker in it now, putting down about 575hp at the wheels and after 15K miles still haven't broken anything......fingers crossed! Its all about how you drive it.
nice!
Nobody gives a fuck about your car.
Love your videos Matt! Don't care about the ads in the beginning either man, I'll continue to support you by watching your videos and I always turn off adblocker before viewing youtube anyways because I hate not giving maximum ad revenue to channels who work hard to bring us entertaining videos and sometimes put themselves at a pretty high financial risk just to give us a video to enjoy. Keep it up man! Always loved these first gen CTS-V's too for the size and simplicity. Actually looking into getting one of these since I don't want to spend more and get the IS-F Used, I'd be paying probably twice the price and I am a mechanic so I don't mind some quirks or some small issues if the CTS-V needs like an add on oil cooler or something since it appears it might be an issue lol. Plus I like the fact that they're not obnoxiously loud with factory exhaust, I don't need a loud V8 I just want a subtle throaty noise, and some torque and speed. The LS is great in any configuration if you put a couple dollars into making it more robust for any climates and driving styles.
To any TST viewers out there: if any of you happens to own a Cadillac STS V, I would love to see your car featured in a video.
Have a v1 oil temp issue is a bad ground happens at least once a day
It hasn't happened to me, my oil temp usually shows around -40.
Since the Last evo review, nothing Will impress more matt for a long time 😉
Be honest you've never played the game and I don't blame u one bit
One of my favorite cars (in stock form) was my 98 BMW 540i 6 speed manual. A friend of mine had a stock 04 CTS-V and would beat me by 1 car length in the 1/4 but when we hit the twisties he could never keep up. In a two year period all I ever had to replace on my car was the valve cover gaskets but we were constantly working on the CTS-V. The CTS-V is a fun car but be prepared for frequent repairs.
Matt this video was great! Just like many other episodes this one came with a twist
Oil temperature issue is a sensor grounding problem, there's a TSB on it. I've had it read 300 degrees cruising at 70. I fixed mine by running a redundant ground wire from the oil level/temp sensor to the ground in the driver side kick panel. There are also things that the dealer can do with calibration, etc., and that sometime works, but the extra ground wire is a cheap reliable solution.
Super comfy, and plenty quick.
I'm glad you posted this and didn't just leave it on the cutting room floor.
this is what ive been waiting for!
The Smoking Skip The First Minute Tire
Matt keep doing your ads I understand you need to get paid. Ignore everyone who bitches and moans.
That's funny. I sent him a link to mine like a few weeks ago. I'm finishing up my stroker build. Glad you finally did one Matt
Oil temps is a bad ground connection. Keep running it lol.
Cory Z yea probably that. My car still isn't finished quite yet. But it should be stout. 652bhp and 595 torque at the flywheel. Getting dropped in this week. If Matt wants to drive it on the show you guys can see what these things can do with some real power.
ryridesmotox did you do anything with the rear end? That was the one thing that kept me from buying one.
Luke V
Yea dude. It's got a Ford 8.8 from creative steel, 3.73 gears (stock ratio) upgraded axles and CVs, New driveshaft, LS9 clutch, katech flywheel. Everything should be pretty stout.
The stock Diff in mine lasted 103k miles. I owned it for about 50k miles. I beat it pretty good and it held together. The only reason I went with the 8.8 is because I was fairly certain that the motor would nuke the rear end.
What did you do to hit 652 HP out of the LS6? (LS2?)
eb110americana not an LS6 anymore. It's got an L76 out of a G8 GT. It's a 408 stroker. Going to run it on E85. So the 91 octane number should go up a little. I'm mostly tuning it for E85 because it's WAY cheaper and there are 2 stations local to me.
that carolla was like "oh shit the fbi"
Damn improving on the quality
cazab offered me $3090 for a 2010 Cadillac cts with 50,000 miles that i traded in a few months ago for $10,000. not only that, but it also gave me the option to just donate the car to them for a $500 tax write-off. wtf is this shit site.
I love my 07 CTS-V. The handling and braking are great despite how heavy the car is.
Finallly!!!!!! Thank you for doing a CTSV. Their is a god!!! Never clicked so fast in my life!
I'm not usually one to quickly pass judgement on someone but I'm not too sure this guy is a real car guy....putting it very nicely :/
The Design reminds me the XLR i had back in the days. Was a nice car. Loved it.
Always loved the front end design of the CTS-V
A shame it was a stock 150k car... these cars transform when the old OEM bushings are upgraded and that oil temp light is an easy fix of cleaning up some of the main chassis grounds on that early model car. Would have loved to see a review of a nicely setup and modified first gen V... regardless, thanks for the review!
CTS-V's had a tsb for a ground issue to the oil temp sensor. It caused the oil temps to read high if the ground wire wasn't properly grounded.
it’s cool i watch an ad before the video, then as soon as it starts i watch another.
The cts is not a big car at all lol , it was a mid size car at best in 2004, yea the new ones are full size lux car but in 04 they were fairly compact, . what did this guy use to drive a MG midget, a cts-v is like a 3 series with 400hp which is more then plenty for a car that size.People say the silliest shit trying to sound vogue. " yea i don't normally drive big car, its not what i'm use to" while sitting in a mid size car smh, a focus rs is bigger -_-
Poor battery and harness grounding in the engine bay of the first generation CTS Vs causes the oil temp gauge and only the oil temp gauge to soar!! Sorry you didn't get to really push the car Matt, I fall in love with mine everyday and have been wondering lately what you'd think of it.
kristian bolin
On a what was new $50k car...typical GM garbage.
Well it's 13 years old now so it has a lot more issues than just that
kristian bolin
I understand that it's a used performance car and it will have problems (my first love was an Eclipse GSX...), but GM has a notorius reputation for lack of quality from cost cutting on even the smallest things.
But their V8's have a reputation for being very hard to kill
SOUNDS AMAZING AND LOOKS AMAZING!! I would expect the Dashboard to have some sort of fake wood trump though.
Straighter or Tighter? That sounds like a hell of a TST Shirt.
These are really nice cars. One of my friends had it to 160 on the autobahn.
Id love to see your pedal inputs in real time on these tighter sections. It would be super educational but i'm sure it would be impractical to do.
As a gamer, I checked out that game you promoted in the start of the vid.. now, I didnt go with the mobile version I tried it on my PC.. Honestly.. Kinda pretty solid so far. Thanks dude, Im always down for a new game.
That's not where I thought this comment was going tbh
lonely ferret in a dark cellar me neither 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
If you search Car and Driver's site, you'll find articles from back in the day mentioning problems with high oil temperature readings. It was a sensor calibration issue that affected some of the earlier built cars. GM eventually fixed it.
1:42..I could never fit in the back of those cars😂
That Cazab website offered me $73 yes seventy three dollars for my 2017 ATS-V with 10,000 miles in perfect condition. However, I also have the option of donating it for $500. The biggest scam I have ever seen....I can't buy my gas cap for $73.
Go to the site to be amazed.
another thing. I've been anticipating a v1 review for a while. Even messaging Matt myself as I wanted to get his take on the quirks and performance of the v1. instead we got a guy who clearly knows nothing about the v1 platform and was really on to just promote his website...
...can attest...buddy has the CTS-V brakes on his bug eye...look good work good...
I like the ads drama lol. I say go crazy, let's see what kind of weird shit you can promote, cigars, tshirts, internet games...what's next? Go for some serious weird shit Matt, make it a thing. Love your channel.
First time I looked at David and I was like "Wow a girl ?! interesting" Then I saw little bit of beard and I was like "Oh"... then Matt said "This is David " then I was like "Oh no".
Matt, The on vs. in at the beginning, think this is due to higher belt line in modern cars?
That oil temp shouldn't shoot up and down like that as quickly as it did. I've thrashed an 04 CTS-V around some quick and tight roads around here in Ottawa and it took it for 30 plus minutes at high revs and that didn't happen so I feel like it might be a faulty sensor or something like that. LS6 are surprisingly reliable engines. I absolutely love those CTS-V's.
Very cool car!
It's very strange watching Matt advertise games
Something funny, you know how UA-cam now lets you mouse over a video before you click on it and a little preview plays in the thumbnail so you can see what the video is about? For this video, it's just footage for the game in the ad at the beginning. I imagine it would be really confusing for someone who was new to these videos to see that preview for a car review lol
Y'know, I bought UA-cam Red so I would never have to see ads again while still supporting my favorite creators. You're killing me, Matt.
One thing that was not mentioned was the mileage on that thing. It looks like it was blowing smoke on one of the passes and $10 grand for a high mileage oil burner is no deal, oh well.
Cazab offered me $155 for my 2011 335i. I know depreciation is bad but come on, my E46 is worth more than that
I always like the four door versions, did they make the wagons in a V?
Edward yes
shadow 25 I would grab one in a wagon if I were to go out of my way to buy one, I really like the body style of those
Na i dont think they did of this gen V in the USA at least
Second gen they did (2009+)
Edward go back to Hayden's channel lol
as an 04 v owner I'm surprised they didn't really talk about the horrendous factory shifter and fragile first Gen diff, or if he was 1 of the lucky to get the Gen 3 or 4 upgraded diff under warranty
Damn time flies... I have the wrong picture of Cadillac in my brain from 2004, and thinking they only had these cool 'monsters' (cts-v) in like 2010ish.
Been waiting on this one for a LONG time. Other than the oil temp, how did it drive?
"Hey guys I wanna sell you complete shit for a quick pay check" - Matt
Open recalls on these cars include brake line failure and random loss of acceleration. Make sure to contact your local Cadillac dealer before the car almost kills you. Btw I have a Creative Steel adjustable shifter for sale for 1st Gen V if anyone's interested!
Still have it?
Where Ican go yo see it thank you
I'm pretty sure these had a tune update due to an issue with the oil sensor readouts showing high. Granted an oil cooler never hurts on a big car like these.
I used to use this car in Need For Speed Most Wanted. Over the years I used all the cars in the game, but seeing this in the rear world is way more exiting. At the time I did not know they used a Vett engine in them.
I really enjoyed this video.
Was this cars Cadillac's another to the GTO at that time. And by the way , Matt. You should do a 2004 GTO.
Gotta love all the knuckleheads still complaining about ads on all the free content. Let the man get paid for his time and just enjoy the video.
"I don't know much about my car but it has some tires, I think, maybe there's oil in the crankcase or not, dunno. Hey let's have Matt drive it hard on video."
Matt, what ball powder do you recommend?
Cazab offered me $3990 for an 02 z06 with 49,000 miles, clean title and everything. Good luck with that business, if you offered realistic offers you might be in a cts v2
OK I know I'm putting a bullseye on me for asking this but is the 2, 3 shift funky on this car? For some reason I would miss that shift ALOT. Read somewhere the trans had a issue with this. Any suggestions.
Just a ground issue for oil temp sensor, Matt , 😂 I heard over 300 degrees and was like no way based on drive time and drive style
Not enough shots of the actual car in my opinion. I like watching Matt and all but it's about the car!
Dude was confident. I dig it
I tried to get an offer for my 2017 RAM on Cazab but they don't have the brand listed.
any info on the CTS V brakes ? looking to buy some !
Matt that is correct about the CTS-V
Brembo cheap brake calipers i personally have a friend who did exactly that.
Cadillac ATS Brembos were what you were thinking of. Had them on my wrx.
No, it was a 5 series sized car for a 3 series price. That’s what the first gen cts was and gm was totally wrong with it. That’s why the ats was introduced and the alpha platform. Amazing car!
Engine oil filter relocation kit with a oil cooler should fix that.
Would still love to own one of these. I have a thing for powerful four doors.
Hey Matt, I just bought a nice watch you recommended some videos ago from the watch club. Now that I have received this brand new model, I wanna be real classy and smoke a cigar. Can you recommend me some good brand????
thanks for your advice, I'll start right off clubbing. Finally I'll have a reason to use Matts ball powder !
tell me more tell me more tell me tell me more

That oil temp can't be right
LS engines need oil coolers.
buddy of mine has a 2010 CTS-V and he needed a FAT ass oil cooler for track use
even with a huge cooler, oil still sits at 270F after HARD use.
There goes his plug, LMAO car expert my ass
There has to be something wrong with the gauge or the sensor. It can't cool down so quickly, too much variance in such a short time.
That is a badass road
It might be thin oil. Thicker oil during summer time.
The oil temp is a literal known issue with the V1 V's. should do some research
Makes me want a Holden monaro, I mean a Chevy Caprice.
The GTO LS1 to LS6 simple upgrade, then add the direct bolt on CTS-V brakes. Get yourself a Gorilla in a Tuxedo!
