- 2012 Commodore VE SS Series II
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and new to v8s. I recently bought a 2012 manual VE ss wagon after much searching but seem to have some problems with it. I test drove it twice and was all good, the seller let me know the clutch was on the way out so probably something to get done in the next year or so. Otherwise body is very straight and car looks good. About 4 or 5 days after taking delivery I start hearing a tapping noise, left front of the engine bay, kinda metallic, so took it into the local mechanics who thought it was the tensioner pulleys off the water pump making noise, so got them replaced and still had the noise, turns out was a bad left cat converter they failed to mentionn when they had a look. They quoted me $900 just to replace the dodgy cat which I find insane. Should I just search for a stock ve cat and get an exhaust shop to fit until I buy a full kit? Also would a stock vf system fit on a VE? Apologies for the long post. Thanks
