    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    Just got the chains done. Cost me $2500 for chains, guides, tensioner, oil, coolant, seals, gaskets and labour. Motor feels so tight now didn't realize how bad they were! I asked Holden what would stop this from happening again and they said regular oil changes... didn't stop it from...

    Re 2010 SV Wagon

    Just had my 2010 SIDI Sv6 in for software update. P0008 and check engine light. The software didn't even last one day as check engine light is back on. Booran Holden quoted me $2800 for new chains, guids, tensioners etc. Looks like the SIDI/LLT will have similar problems as the early...

    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    Yeah ill be shopping around that's for sure. I asked the dealer if it was a common problem in the SIDI and he said NO it depends on service history which makes no sense because I have always serviced my car on time and always by Holden. I think this is early signs of a common fault in these...

    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    For anyone interested Holden do have a software update for the sidi, just had mine done. Didn't last long as the engine light is back on. They quoted me $2800 for new chains, guids etc. Looks like Holden didn't fix the problem after all

    Ve commodore stretched timing chain repair cost??

    My 2010 SIDI is going in for a check up next week. Have been getting engine light, P0008 and keeps coming back after I clear the code. Its starting to rattle a little bit also. Looks like Holdens revised chains didn't do the trick as mine is an MY.10 sidi sv6

    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    Good idea! I have a general idea where the sensors are but not sure exactly which one is which. There is about four on the front of each bank. Also any ideas what the sudden loss of power is moments before the engine light comes on? When in second gear for example, pedal to the floor the engine...

    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    Out of warranty unfortunately. Sudden loss of power and check engine light again today. Time to see the dealer I think. If it does end up being chains I may be the first of many to come. Yay

    MY.10 SV6 Timing Chain P0008

    Hi all, My 2010 VE sv6 ute with 95,000km on the clock has been logging P0008 and engine light is on. Also noticed massive loss of power moments before engine light comes on (possible limp mode?). Tried clearing codes but problem comes back usually a day or two later. Just wondering if anyone...
