How does the factory VE have a 'gas mixer'? Gas mixers are a specific type of LPG fuel system (think Gas Research). An injection (vapour or liquid) wouldn't have a gas mixer, as the mixer mixes the air/fuel ratio in the intake ready to be delivered through the throttle body/manifold rather than direct fuel injection.
Just saw your reply and went and pulled the cars file.
It does have the 6 speed gearbox - according to the delivery sheet from Holden. Its a May 2012 build (Equip)
It had the Throttle body and intake replaced in July 2012 (warranty) due to "wax" build up - Sounded suss when they did it - still sounds suss now, but that's whats on the on the service records/invoice.
I always thought from new it was slower "seat feel" than the one we test drove before it. I think part of the reason the throttle body was replaced was due to the butterfly in it not opening/closing properly. It also had the pedal assembly and cruise assembly replaced in September 2012 (warranty)
After that, it drove fine. Heaps of power off the line and didn't throw warning lights and engine fault lights. Has done 75,000kms, according to the Fleet card invoice for last month.
Serviced at Holden since new, not too pricey (compared to some of the VW's and Citroen's we have) - Did have the tires replaced on it at 10,567kms due to uneven wear and excessive tire noise.
Has had the seat cushion (drivers) replaced at 35,000kms - Because one of our manager's who use it is quite - well, large.
Bluetooth can be hit and miss some days, but not as bad as my XR6. Had a software upgrade in Feb 2013 to the IQ system and its been a lot better since then. It's pretty easy to park with both the camera and reverse sensors. It's also got those "extra" little circular mirrors stuck on the side mirrors (Makes it really easy to see the lines when parking and to also see what's in the car's blindspot.)
Also, was involved in a front end accident in June 2013 - Drivers fault (not me - one of the other managers) and the bill for repairs (just for our car, not the other party) was over $5500, just for a new bumper, bonnet and headlight. So make sure its got full comprehensive insurance I guess (being so new, why would it not?)
As for any thing else, there's not much else listed in the service history, just the recommended oil changes and what not.
Also, it has a Optima battery installed due to the 2 way radio installed in it. (People would leave it on and it would flatten the battery within a few hours) - so make sure you replace the factory Holden one as soon as you can, it's rubbish. (and Holden won't replace it under warranty, unless its 6 months old) They will just charge it up and send you on your way. Had a few faults with starting it with the original battery (immobilizer) If I remember correctly.
Its been serviced every 15,000kms or thereabouts.
Side Note: The centre console side panels drive me nuts. They never "click" into their location properly and the rattle like a mofo. They got siliconed down last week because I'd had enough. All the clips have been replaced twice by Holden - Still the same issue. (till the silicone).
