Holden VE Series 1 are and were notorious for having Timing Chain Problems and is one of many common problems. The issue is that the timing chain becomes stretched and it requires a full timing chain replacement which was such a pain. It isn’t cheap either, at around a $2,000 job (in 2019) to complete including parts and labour.
It varies on when they require replacement. I have heard some as early as 60,000 kms or much later on.
Personally, I had mine done around the 120,000 kms mark. At the time, I thought it was the timing chains as it sounded like a truck when starting as well as the odd cylinder miss fire. But the issue persisted after the timing chain was replaced, it wasn’t as much but the issue was slightly still there. Turns out, it was an oil pump and it wasn’t until I had done about 180,000 kms that the oil sensor went off and it was the oil pump. The oil pump is seated at the front of the engine where all the timing chains are. So to replace that, you had to take the timing chains off and have it all redone anyway. They had to pretty much redo all the timing chain works again (less the parts).
If you replace your timing chains and are going down that path, I recommend changing the oil pump at the same time due to its location and known issues.
VE Timing Chain Symptoms
VE Commodore Stretched Timing Chain
- On startup, the engine rattles on first start-up (when cold), won’t idle properly or has a check engine light illuminated on the dashboard – Videos Below
- Engine Misfire or Cylinder Misfire Errors
- Metal Bits within your oil or Contaminated Engine Oil
- Unable to start the car
