- VE, 09 of 2008, Omega, Auto, 3.6 Litre, 6 Cylinder
I drive a stock standard Omega auto VE MY09 built 08-09, 3.6L unleaded fuel.
I've had it since Feb 2013 and its done a 116+ks. last outing or two I have started to hear a whirring sound that is directly related to revs. I can now, only just, hear this when I'm going along the freeway. Before I only heard it at idle and thats been going for say, the last 150ks around town over a couple of months or so.
is it the timing chain?
if it is how long might it last for?
how much noise does it have to make before it shits itself?
if it shits itself i spose it will just stop then and there?
whats involved in fixing it?
what are the key things to know and do?
roughly how long would it take a mechanic to fix it?
Is it the kind of thing I could do myself? I have a fixit book for it.
should I fix it or ditch it?
I've got a good half inch socket set I've had for 30+ years, I got a 10mm plastic one from Bunnings for xmas one year recently, a 1/2 inch and a 3/8 tension wrench, a lunch bag full of open enders some of which I've had for 30 odd years some screw drivers and an 8 inch shifter.
Appreciate all help people, thanks
