Get your chains fixed mate? you can do it yourself for about 800 bucks if you know what your doing. chains are available on ebay. ive done 2 cars now

you need to find out what the code is. if its a code 18 or 19 and your cars done about 150000 or more then its the timing chains. Holden want about 1800 bucks to replace these, cheaper to do it yourself if you know what your doing

Done a couple now. You don't need any of the so called special tools and you can get the full chain kit for around $650 from ebay. Chains, tensioners, gears and runners

You can buy the chains from eBay for about $650 and do it yourself if you know what your doing. Or about $2000 from a Holden Dealer Replaced mine about 3 months ago and runs like a dream. Was a common problem with the 2006, 2007 models. They started to stretch at about 150000k's

I used to have the same problem with my 2006 VE V6. If you take the black air intake box off of your throttle body next time it happens, check inside it and see how much oil is in there. It gets sucked up from the engine thru the pcv tube into the air intake and builds up over time. after a...

Mine is doing the same now too. Cyls 1,3,5. Just finished putting new timing chains on. Runs fine for a while then craps itself when hot

Thanks for the input. None of the earths were touched but will check them out for rust and check the loom as well. Cheers

Hi all, just wondering if anybody has had the same problem as me. After putting new timing chains on an alloytec engine, it ran fine for a while but then started to misfire, all 3 cylinders down the one bank. This is an intermittent problem, runs fine for a while, maybe half an hour to an...

Dont need to take the throttle body off, just the air duct and look inside the air duct, if its got a lot of oil in it just clean it all out and cleean inside the throttle body. You need to reset the code if you have access to a scan tool

Have had this problem before. And Holden won't acknowledge it. Does your car seem to use any oil? Take the black air intake duct off the throttle body, check inside , is it full of oil? The oil is getting sucked in thru the intake and fouling your sensors. Don't ask me how it sets off the...

Mine was getting so bad that it was sucking oil thru the throttle body and setting off the check engine light. The code was something to do with the ABS???? Weird. It also kept switching the stability control on and off every 10 minutes. Soon as i took the black box off, cleaned it out and...

I have this same problem on my and my missus VE V6, And i reckon i have actually worked this issue out. Maybe not everybodies problem but most of you. If you take the black air intake box off your throttle body and look inside it you will see a pool of oil in the bottom. My theory is that it...

Hi all, I have just had a vapour injected gas system put on my '06 VE v6 commodore and now the check engine light comes on. We do know that it is a gas system problem, but not what causes it. Anybody had the problem and know how to fix it? any help greatly appreciated. Cheers
