Seeing many broken down V6's yet?

[greenfoam]

I've started seeing the annual line up of V6's down the highways with broken crank sensors since it's started getting warm. Was just wondering if anyone is seeing them around the place yet ?

My girlfreind blew her water pump today. Does that count????lol

[Zuicider]

I did a top radiator hose yesterday but entirely my fault kicking things sideways in 1st, 2nd when the water temp was already to hot from sitting in traffic

I bet everyone laughed at you. lol.

[centy]

nah just a couple old beatup vn's that seem to play up a bit.
vandalism don't count.

i had cooling gremlins agogo a month or so back, but nothing major, just a leak fixing whack-a-mole. fix one, another pops up.

[wez]

My VN blew a DFI, the O2 sensor, and a water pump within a few days.
Of course we all know the cam snaps after 300 000 - been there; at least the replacement is a better design and will last.
My radiator hoses are going spongey so I will replace them as well. Apparently a lot of people forget to replace the small one at the top and cook their motors anyway.

alright my water pump blew today followed by the harmonic balancer yesterday thank god for nos spares in the shed

[vq rat]

Worken for RACV you find the tow truck to have alot more commodores on the back it the warmer weather, but still less that FORDS

[h0Ld3n`VN]

found out i needed a new overflow bottle for my car lastnight, lost so much coolant coz of it n cant drive it till i find one, does that count to

[TVR-190]

not a vn but a VS ute pulled up outside repco as i was buying some pressies today, had smoke/steam billowing out from under the bonnet

[5lt caprice]

blew head gasket in my caprice last thursday renewed everything

[the executive]

bottom rad hose popped off while driving around looking at houses with Christmas lights

[centy]

lol those damn hose clamps.
same happened to me 2 months ago near the pub.

[jas98]

well me mates vn (which was mine) somehow chewed the CAS as the harmonic balancer fin part was a little bent for some reason...think a rock got flicked up...dunno this happened about 2 weks ago

and me other mates VS..one of teh coils burnt out causeing the car to run on 4 cilenders....not bad considering the car still went fine until u drove over 2000rpm then it just wanted to die lol happened about 1 week ago but has been playing up for about 3 months haha



oh and my car is going great haha

same with me i was very lucky to get given a broken one that i could temp fix till i get a new one, they are hard to get in good condition

also i have had to change, waterpump, overflow bottle, water inlet manifold gaskets, bypass hose, heatertap, thats so far now, but i think when i get paid next im gunna replace all hoses with new hoses to be on safe side

In 3 days ive seen 2 vp's and 1 vn left on the side of highways ehehe. I was thinking probably cas.

My VP broke today but my wife only ran it out of fuel . Surely some half dodgy crank sensors are showing their flaws in this heat?

[88GreenVN]

All 3 of mine are running sweet - even the dodgy 89 sedan with a miss has settled down. And the V8 gets parked Friday (de registered)

[greenfoam]

She got home steped out of the VP giving me evil eyes, sweat pouring off her and said
"I HATE THAT FREAKIN CAR" . Just for future reference 40c+ no air con no deadner no insulation and an extraordinary amount of pipes under the firewall and floor do make for a rather good sauna :P

GreenVN it's ok the 5 litre will be ok, I've left mine siting for a full rego season once, it still ran sweet a year later, just needed to sit in the sun for a while to dry out

Yep will be in the sun - in the driveway - out of the way. May take the time to re do some paint thats faded. Not looking forward to driving the VZ every day....... Bash my head on the door pillar when I get in.

Ooow sad day comming - Friday

[greenfoam]

Start the VN in the mornings so you can hear it grumble into life, then once you have your fix, quickly jump in the VZ and hope you don't notice anything missing

I'll miss the chirp into second when I turn out onto the main road in the morning for sure.

Start wearing my bike helmet to get in the car
