Sorry, yes it's the v6 it's a weezing whining noise but after the engine warms up its not as loud,

Hey Cabletwich no it does it mainly in the lower gears 1,2,3

Hi all, my engine has started weezing around 3500rpm , has anyone else suffered from this or had a similar problem?

Hi just a update, the battery light still comes on so I do think the alternator is slowly dying! Question is am I doing long term damage by still running it ? Also it's a v6 cav and all the alternator companies say there is loads of variants of the alternator, will I need to remove it first in order...

Hi Chris yes it does sound tapperty on acceleration not sure what that means though lol

Cheers boys! Lowrider Dave, did u do any work to you v6 was it in good condition? Since I've had the v6 it's gone sluggish it's certainly a lot noiser than it was , I've given it thorough service cleaned the breathers changed ht leads and plugs for good quality ones etc

Humbucker, have u experience of the v6 engine? Also does Lowrider Dave have a v6 too?

Hi pal sadly not but any advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm a bit of a novice lol

Also have the oil cooler replaced cambelt as well , do I go to a Vauxhall specialist orca engine specialist?

To be honest just a rebuild to factory standard like u said head skimmed valves Pistons etc .

Has anyone had a engine re build my V6 is slowly giving up the ghost, so I was wondering if anyone has a idea of cost etc?

Drove home tonight, no light on ! The only thing was the was a slight whining on start up from the alternator area but so went once the engine was running

Can u test the alternator ??

Cheers pal also I only do a short journey of 7 miles every other day could this be another reason I put the volt meter on the battery when it wasn't started and it read 12.

Cheers boys I'm the hyprocondriac when it comes to stuff like this! Lol

Evening all drove home tonight and the battery light came on but only very dim. As the journey progressed the light went off completely , luckily I have a volt meter in the car, it went from just under 13 to 14 volts, also the battery is new too. Is my alternator on its way out?

Hi when I turn on the ignition all the various lights come on the dash then turn off, except handbrake, brake , battery and the EML light is this correct or should the EML light go off? When I start the car all the lights go off and stay off? Thanks

Hi mate yea the heated mirrors work etc so hopefully it's a connection to the rear window?

My rear window appears to given up de misting, before I start investigating is it generally the rear window or is it sometimes an easy fix?

Any idea how to change the check strap pal I'm a bit of a novice ! Lol

Evening all when I open the drivers door it's clicking , is the door pin shot at? Is it a big job to replace?

Have you done the butterfly mod humbucker?

Hi has anyone removed a throttle body on a v6 engine is it a easy job ?

Hi I've noticed Courtney sport do a enlarged throttle body for the v6 engine. Has anybody had this modification and is it a good mod or not?

Hi everyone this is my first post I hope ur all well, I have got a lovely v6 manual and was wondering about any engine modifications that there are avalible , has anyone had one re mapped or chipped? I know there's is a light fly wheel upgrade too, any advice would be greatly appreciated cheers
