- V6 sportswagon
Hello fellow Holden caretakers. Took my V6 VE 2010 sidi Sports wagon (256245kms) to a mechanic last year for a fuel sensor replacement in the reserve tank. I queried the engine light and code for timing chain resulted. Wasn't a real issue then, but certainly is now. Had been home from work (10 mins drive), Car was rested half hour before starting and moved it five meters to give it a wash and noticed a strong fuel smell. While in park I gave full excelleration which wouldn't go past 4000rpm and heaps of white smoke come pouring out both exhausts. hoping it would clear itself, I kept it going for nearly a minute. No change. Turned off gave wash, restarted but not smoothly and was running extremely rough. Parked it up. Few hours later went to start and same rough rich and smoking. Turned off and on again and upon a half crank the motor sounded like a quick clonk and then nothing. After that it only cranked, but would not fire. Next morning, cranked,fired,run extremely rough, very rich smell and probably going to blow smoke. Turned off went to work.
My question is I need to get it to the shop (garage), this is half an hours drive. Have I or will I damage it beyond repair if I attempted to drive it?
