Hi All,
I have a 2016 VF series II SSV Redline Ute, obviously with the LS3 engine, I had a routine 54 month / 90k service done this week, and the dealer service people advised me that my harmonic balancer was coming apart and needed to be replaced. I had reported a noisy drive belt on cold starts, and evidently this was the cause. I've only travelled 54000km since I bought the car new, and am pretty disappointed that such an integral engine part has failed at such low mileage. I ended up having it replaced for around $470, but is this a common issue on this engine?
