- Commodore SV6 2007
Hey guys, I have stretched timing chain issue on my 2007 SV6 manual (177k km). The car was still running but underpowered, suddenly last week the car stopped working. I started the car in the morning, heated it up before leaving for work. When i came back home and was about to start the car, the starter motor works (no rattling) but cannot successfully start the car. Does that mean the timing chain already gone or is it the battery? I am scared to jump start, what if it ####s up inside and costs me more to fix?
I got a quote, cheapest i could find in NSW to change the chain kit. $1200 supplied and fitted, which i think is much more cheaper than other places. But if I cannot drive that will cost me more to get it towed.
While chain is done, I want to get the water pump done too (if not supplied with the kit). Is there anything else I should be worried about?
Is there any other mechanic in Sydney who would do it cheaper?
Thanks for your response in advance.
