Hi Guys.
Looking to get a VZ Commodore, from having my VS I remember all sorts of things were failing on it which would leave me stuck on the road.
Crank angle sensors, DFI Modules constantly dying, failed coilpacks you name it.
I'm going to get something low KM, about 100,000km. I want to know what things on the engine, electrical system commonly can fail that can cause the engine to fail or leave you stuck on the road. What else should I be replacing to give a decent time of trouble free driving?
I'm thinking of replacing Fuel pump, crank and cam sensors and all EFI related relays and accessory belt.
Are timing chain guide failures known to cause skipped teeth or damaged engines or just a rattle?
Is there anything else I should know about the VZ there doesn't appear to be anything to look out for while doing my research?
