Hi Guys,
first time on this forum but got a quick question.
Has anyone ever come across any problems after they changed the timing with sensors still going off? I currently did the timing chains and gears, and i am getting error codes popping up on my ve v6. the codes im getting are P0014, P0021 and P0024. Indicates that the camshaft position sensors are faulty on bank 2(Both) and 1 on bank 1. Replacd both on bank 2 and had the software updated recently, but the error mesages are still there. Anyone ever had this problem with the alloytec engines?
Hello, did you replace the tensioners while you were in there? I had to wait for about 2-3 weeks for Holden at Newstead (Brisbane) to get some tensioners from the states. Pretty much no Holden in Australia had many left when I was doing mine. The guys there told me there was heaps of failures, therefore the shortage of this part, also why they have a revised part number. Not sure if this will throw a code or not tho.
The other thought is did you double check the timing alignment. I must have checked mine 10 times before I put it all back together. I also turned the engine over a few times manually, then backwards to the start just to check nothing jumped.
Good luck with it.
I am currently rebuilding by late 06 alloytec out of a vz (WD4).
I went to holden to price all new parts including timing chains, tensioners, seals, head gaskets etc.
They have me a written quote for just under $2,000 however this quote came with all the part numbers aswell.
Now, Holden is part of general motors, they're part numbers are are same world wide and this engine is also used in a 06 - 11 Cadillac STS.
I am currently waiting for my order from GM Parts Direct which cost me just under $600 AUS shipped. which has exactly all the same parts and part numbers.
So with the exchange rates as they are now i would highly recommend importing any parts at this stage in time.
