    2012 VE Auto Transmission Problems

    Hey guys, I've just taken my car in to get looked at after noticing an oil leak in my driveway. The Mechanic was recommended to me by a friend and I've also found some good reviews on TVP (the virtual pub). Anyway he has found the problem to be the transmission and said to pinpoint where the...

    what cats to get

    When i got my cats i didnt have to replace the O2 sensors. Unless yours are stuffed (in which case an error would be displayed) i'd say its just holden being a massive timmy-o-tool.

    doreHolden VZ replacement motor

    I was recently looking into changing my engine also, i was told from holden that the numbers have to match up otherwise it will have problems with the computer. Apparently they had to sort through 19 different engine codes. All i know for sure is i wouldnt be going out and buying the first...

    Where can i buy a new alloytec engine

    not sure, still waiting for them to get back to me. I would think at least a year surely.

    Where can i buy a new alloytec engine

    low compression in cylinder 6. Caused by 2 cracked valves and stretched timing chain and guides. the head needs to be skimmed also and the water pump needs to be replaced as well as all the valves cos their all warn out. I was told this was a result of not servicing frequently enough, this is...

    Where can i buy a new alloytec engine

    Well i called holden yesterday and they said $4350 fo a new alloytec. That might be my best option. Surely it requires more than just the BCM to convert to a V8! If that were the case then i would do it. But im thinkin it might be a bit more involved than that. No worries mate, thanks for...

    Is this a fair quote??

    Your whole little rant is based on the fact that I haven't received this engine I payed for. You wouldn't be saying **** if I got the engine. Suggestions have been made. You make out just because I didn't take the suggestions you would take that I didn't take n e ones and just went off on my own...

    Is this a fair quote??

    Yeah that's the one, looked reputable to me. Don't know why a company with that many years experience, selling those sorts of products would rip someone off just for a measly 2500 bucks when a lot of the stuff he sells looks like it would go for 10 times that amount.

    Is this a fair quote??

    i just tried loading it half hour ago cos i wanted to get some details and i couldnt load it either. hoping its just down for maintenance or some sh*t (wishfull thinking) but im starting to think he's closing down. he sent me his bank details but told him i had to pay by credit card since im...

    Is this a fair quote??

    just by that response i can see you havent properly read this thread or no what your on about. I bought a second hand engine (payed for one at least), which i believe was one persons piece of advice, its the advice i took and its clearly backfired up to this point. why would i spend 6...

    Is this a fair quote??

    Hey thanks again guys havent been on in a while been flat out. So i baught that engine i previously mentioned and its been four weeks now and he still hasnt delivered after he said it'll be here in a week. got it from performanceonline.com.au n e one dealt with these guys? i havent been able to...
  19. jezz736

    Is this a fair quote??

    No worries. well i ended up buying a second hand engine 89000km on the clock with a 12 month warranty for $2400 from performanceonline.com.au. Mine's done 150000km so yeah, there's a plus.

    Is this a fair quote??

    Cheers for the info guys really helping me make sense of all this so thanks. Na he didn't say where the valves where cracked just that they were and as for the timing chain I've never known them to stretch either unless high temperatures were the cause. That's the only way I see a chain...

    Is this a fair quote??

    No dude they Sent the head away to see if that was cracked
  22. jezz736

    Is this a fair quote??

    Yeah they had to send the head away to work out if that was the problem, along with the above mentioned. Talked to him again today to tell him I plan on taking the car off him to get other quotes. He said I can't cos the valves are cracked so if I wanna take it I have to tow it out of there...

    Stretched timing chain?

    I've just been told i have the same problem dude i've got an 05 vz sv6 but i never heard n e rattling
  24. jezz736

    Is this a fair quote??

    So for the same price i could get a new engine fitted which is obviously the better option. Although I'm still not keen on spending 6 grand on this car. :S
  25. jezz736

    Is this a fair quote??

    Thanks for the info guys, I knew that sounded a bit steep! I've told him to hold off on doing n e thing till I decide what I wanna do. I'm definitely getting another quote elsewhere. Cant believe a new engine is cheaper than what he wants to charge just to fix it, although by the time u add in...

    Is this a fair quote??

    Hey guys, I've just ran into a major problem with my car. I've only had it nearly four months now and since then i've gradually felt the car getting more sluggish and the idle getting rougher. so I've taken it in to holden to get checked over. When they did the compression test he said that...
