- 2006 vz v6 commodore
Hey guys I’ve had bad news as I thought I had an issue with my engine in the new car that I just got so I had something to drive as soon as I got my license back from court after more than 3&1/2 years. Well I got my license back and went to get my car to find out that I actually need to replace the engine as it had no compression in cylinder 5, found that out after reprogramming a new computer! I’m just wondering what type of engine I need to be compatible with my 2006 vz v6 wagon? Also as I think they seem to be hard to come across, what would be a good price to pay and can I check anything while it’s on a pallet to see if it’s any good? I’m assuming that you’re only going to find out it’s condition after it’s fitted and you have to basically just hope for the best! I think I’m just going to wait till the local wrecker can find a decent one, or anyone as long as it’s in good running order so I’ve got some sort of warranty on it plus the mechanic will have a good business relationship with the wrecker and they won’t want to sacrifice it by selling a poor engine. I’ve found this mechanic to be some what honest compared to many others in the area! Anyway if someone can tell me what type of engine exactly I need it would be much appreciated. I know it’s an Leo v6 but I’m not sure what other things you need to be compatible? Last thing I want is to get the wrong one! I’ve alrea been stiffed on this one! Thanks for your time and help.
