XRDOSE BIGRED Donating Members 1,410 Member For: 17y 9m 12d Gender: Male Location: Sth East Melb Posted 20/03/08 06:45 AM Share Posted 20/03/08 06:45 AM I work at RACV taking roadside assistance calls and we also take calls for all the manufacturers who offer their own roadside assistance....I would have to say about 60-70% of the calls I take for them new car programs are for holdens and out of them 70-80% are for the VE commodores! Lots of frustrated Expensive Daewoo customers out there I can tell ya that. I've organised many tow trucks to tow many VEs back to the dealership. Suprisingly Ford ISN'T as bad as I expected.

EDXR8Sprint Member 105 Member For: 17y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/03/08 07:43 AM Share Posted 20/03/08 07:43 AM A mate of a mates VE Berlina LS2 has had piston slap problems. Contrary to what Expensive Daewoo would have you believe, it wasn't eradicated after the VTII It's also alot slower then its 270kw would suggest.Hes had a GTS 3.7something ratio diff fitted, and along with the 6 speed auto it 60 foots no better then my stock F6.And it's 3 tenths and 5mph slower down the strip I was actually disappointed, thought it'd be a bit more of a challenge...

Not like a manufacturer to exagerate some figures.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
