Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: No floor heat in 1997 olds silhouette. mechanic did not find cause of problem but did note that an un associated problem was occuring. the original plastic intake manifold gasket was failing. after investigating and researching i have found that both the lack of heat in the front of this vehicle and worse yet the failing of the gasket are common problems with this vehicle. i am scheduled to have both problems taken care of on 12/28/2005. the estimate (no tellsing the cost to repair the heat until they get into it) will run at least $700. based on the past intake manifold gasket repairs this shop has done on gm vehicles the shop estimates this repai alone will cost at least $500. *nm
