Funny you should say that about buying a V8 instead because we nearly did....I just realised we never received our receipt for the service on the timing chain...they were going to post it to us because they couldn't give it to us then and their because of fluctuations in the market placeso i...

What happened Smashfist was the indicator went off we let Holden know ...they told us it was a battery issue ...so we changed the battery...it kept going ..they told us to bring it in they said it was a computer error and they had fixed it...I got to my parents placed it occurred again The...

Just clarify this for me, when they did the timing chain, should they have noticed metal in the sump oil then? Or look in the sump the Oil then as part of the Timing chain procedure? ...... Hindsight is a wonderful thing I was going to get the car serviced in this month as the service was...

Thank you for this wonder piece of information it's all coming together now thoses lying bas.....

I've been trying to find a picture to make it clearer to me but does the timing chain go around the crankshaft?

JUST IN apparently I have done the main bearings of the crankshaft ...not fault of mine or of Holdens....10days post timing chain replacement with no sign of any problems ...so thet are going to go goodwill with Holden or try ...this is doing my head and it will do my bank account in!!! aaarrrggghhh

the oil light came on the engine light came on ...and it reverted to 75000kms service ......

they said there wasn't any sludging...in the slump

i fought them fitting the chain only had to pay $610 .....it's under warranty for 2yrs or 50000kms

noisy in limp mode missing yes no smoke.....but to say it was running perfectly yesterday flawed me and now today a whole different story...i'm confused

oil was fine as to the water

Mine started at 65000kms took it in for a look they thought it was a computer glitch, when it happened, straight away was told will have to check with Holden Customer Care as it's a "Good Will" case.That was Nov last year...lots of things happen ...but not contact from our Dealer. Took it up...
