Which Codes Scare You the MOST???
Of all the potential codes that could "pop up" in the course of a C5's life, which codes do you guys dread the most?
I would think that the C1214 EBCM is probably pretty high on the list?
Which codes, if found in history, would prevent you from buying a C5?

Why would a 1214 SCARE you?

Because it can be potentially difficult and pricey to repair?

Only if you go to a dealer to have it fixed. $200.00 was the total cost for me for my C1214.

Only the early cars, another reason to get one later in the model run.

I would think that the C1214 EBCM is probably pretty high on the list? My answer: No, EBS Fixers makes it an affordable repair.
Which codes, if found in history, would prevent you from buying a C5? My answer: None. Every repair has a price and what I give for a car would have costs figured in.
