Are these timing chain issues only related to VZ and '06-'07 VEs????? Or are newer VEs showing problems now as well. Are they high mileage vehicles???? If so, what is considered high mileage????
Yep over 100ks and my 09 needs doing

Please do define how software can fix a stretched damaged mechanical component ?
The Software stretches the timing perimeters between the cams, meaning the computer doesn’t detect the mis (they’re only programmed to allow hundredths of mm each way). I’ve too looked into having my timing chain replaced; a full kit from Holden is approximately $750 and together installed totals somewhere between $1500-$1800 by Holden. For a local mechanic, the labour would be more as its such a tedious, fiddle job... Holden have the car for 24 hours

Cams are all about intake/zorst valves and spark timing. Just delay/advance/whatever the spark relative to the other 2 and you are near enough. Wallah.. Softwares.

Got mine done for $1600 here in melbourne. and they also gave me a loan car to use while mine was in there. one thing i noticed on mine was loss of power. no noise from engline ran very smooth just loss of power. did u get the chance to see the code on there Tech 2. to make sure that is the code and there not just telling u this. i was next to my car when my mech hooked up his computer and saw my codes. i went to one mech and he told me... mate u need a whole new engine... urs cant be fiixed. i knew that was crap he was just trying to get money from me. i would never go to a dealer.. would cost u heaps.
Could you tell me where you had the work done please. All my quotes are at least $1000 more than yours cost. Thanks.
