- 2011 VE SV6
In the last week or so I noticed a rattle on acceleration. Booked it in for a service and a check and the mechanic said it was a "Con rod issue", which I'm assuming means connection rod. He said the engine is on it's way out and it would require a rebuild to fix that issue. At this stage what can I do, I have it parked up and I'm refraining form driving it unless neccessary.
1. I have extended warranty and I'm still covered until September or 100,000km (at 90k now). Is this covered by Holden? Will it be a struggle to try and get them to fix it?
2. Trade it in back to the dealership and say nothing. I think this may be the easiest way out, I have a few grand left on finance for it, but it should be under the buy out price.
3. Rebuild the engine. How much would this cost approx?
4. Buy another engine. Is this more cost effective to buy a second hand SV6 engine, are their alternatives? What would I be looking at to do this?
Thanks in advance.
