G'day
I am an L6 fan, however I stepped into later model stuff by privately buying a V6 VS series 2 wagon in very good condition. It was a one owner, fully serviced car with 230,000kms on the clock. On the first trip the motor seized without warning. No oil or temperature problems. I was travelling up a hill but I was not pushing it. The NRMA tow truck driver said I was the second seized V6 he had towed that week.
I have been hearing stories about cam bearings moving and oil delivery problems. Does anybody know anything about this problem? I have been asking around and getting the runaround.
I have been offered a secondhand motor in good condition from a VS series 2 with 240,000kms on it. What should I do to the motor before I put it in to prevent another unplanned stop?
Other than the motor the VS is a very nice car.
Regards
Chris
