- vs 5.0l
Hi there, Just purchased a vs calais series 2 5.0ltr, when I test drove it everything seemed fine.
Out of respect for owner and not yet paying for the car I didn't get a chance to open it right up.
Now that I have had a good drive of it, I have realised that its not shifting gears properly, holding gears to long and not kicking down a gear when accelerator is applied.
The other thing I have noticed is that it is not revving cleanly all the way through at 3/4 to full throttle.
Seems to die at around 3500rpm.
Things i can tell you about the car, Its a vt motor as the original motor snapped the nose off the crank with harmonic balancer. It hasn't been driven for quite some time. Everything else on the car is immaculate.
Where should I start, No engine light is comming on at all?
