- VY ADVENTRA 5.7, FE 1957 SEDAN, EH 202 SEDAN, OLDS
Hi all,
was hoping to broaden my knowledge thru anybody on this forum that can give me their opinion on a 1 owner VY Adventra that has been looked after, never abused, and FULLY & professionally serviced by a VACC Mechanic every 6,000 to 10,000kms(max) without fail, and using the best of materials from Ryco and Castrol. Has done around 120,000kms
Owners want to be rid of it and I thought I should preserve a "modern Holden" to keep my 1957 FE and my 1937 Oldsmobile company !
What issues did Engine or Trans have if any ? Back in 2010, "Check Engine" light was addressed with a new OIL Pressure switch which cured the problem for a few weeks, only to come back on. After 4 OP Switches at $120 each, owner gave up and left it to blink for years with no side effects. Power Steer hose is just starting with a tiny leak.
Does anyone have a suggestion other than another new OP Switch ? First 2 replaced years ago were Nasco units, then a Tridon from Bursons, then a Bosch from Repco; none were any better than the other. Prob all made in same factory.
Also need 4 of the 100mm Mag Hubcaps on stock factory mags (keep getting stolen!) which I'll super-glue on when I get some.
