- 6l v8 VZ SS
Hey all,
I recently bought myself a 2006 VZ SS :spot on: - the 6l auto. It's done ~125000km, and I've only driven the last 3000 of them. When I first bought it there was a slight whir in the engine, I assumed it was normal, having never owned a V8 and not being the biggest car buff out. However, a few days ago it hit rev limiter in 1st before it changed up, and since it has been revving out 2nd gear when changing to third, and the whir is extremely loud and get worse as it changes to third. Once it's in 3rd it's fine, and only screws up if I accelerate and it tries to go back to 2nd. Any ideas what it could be? And it's still withing the 3 month/5000km statutory warranty, I assume it would be, but do you think it's covered?
