hey folks kinda a weird question i guess but....
what sort of k;s do you think a 3.8ltr eco engine is good for... if the engine is meticulously maintained and looked after etc.... car has 185 k's on it at the moment...
i was under the assumption they;d be good for half a million.... im sure theres some vns still getting around with that amount when theyve been looked after.. whats your thoughts..
if your car is maintained should get 400k easy same with your transmission, i have 200k on the vy & vx both still purr easy![]()
ecotec can do well over 300,000km
......Unless it throws a cam bearing.

Seen them with 600,000km on the clock. It had had a few major bits replaced in that time but it was the original motor.

Of course, but every engine is different, some will last ages. I was just saying that cam bearings are a pretty big fault with the ol' ecotecs.
