The later Ford engines are reliable it's everything else that's not, when it comes to Ford. Like Malcolm at Perkins Auto Repairs used to say "Ford's will always have problems".
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I have actually yeah. I've saved a couple of Honda Accords, a Honda Accord Euro and a couple Aurions. My only concern with the Aurion was because my parents own a 2006 Camry Ateva, and that's had quite a few issues, quite early on. May I ask if Aurions follow the same engine process as the Camry, or are they seperate?Oh doesn't have to be a commodore?
Honda Accord Euro or an aurion.
So does that mean a stretched chain won't seize the engine may I ask?The effected chains generally don't snap, they just stretch, but replacing them is $1.5k-$3k depending on the mechanic's willingness to do the job (which is usually low because it's a PITA).
Oh ok, so even with a 2011 XR6 with 219k on the odometer, would there be problems quite soon or has it got a bit of time?The later Ford engines are reliable it's everything else that's not, when it comes to Ford. Like Malcolm at Perkins Auto Repairs used to say "Ford's will always have problems".
Oh ok, thanks for that, I wasn't aware that you could do that and they would come with an AUX outlet. Do you know how much I can expect to pay for a Pioneer head unit?Just buy a Pioneer head unit with Bluetooth. Commodores had junk audio regardless of the year.
Ask a garage. My opinion will be biased as I paid $14k for my old Ford and sold it just a few years later for $500, just to get it out of my site, it was a lemon, to put it politely.Oh ok, so even with a 2011 XR6 with 219k on the odometer, would there be problems quite soon or has it got a bit of time?
That'll be okay then, as I would make sure my car is serviced regularly, and my local mechanic offers free oil refills and cleaning anyway. I don't suppose you know how often Commodores need to be serviced do you?The engines seize from lack of maintenance, quality oil and poor PCV design, which in turn creates sludge that when bad jamb the timing gear.
Go to Autobarn and ask them. They will be as cheap as anywhere as they tend to offer the best prices on audio I have found.Oh ok, thanks for that, I wasn't aware that you could do that and they would come with an AUX outlet. Do you know how much I can expect to pay for a Pioneer head unit?
