Hi, I have for sale my holden commodore calais v wagon. I have owned for the past 2 years, I didn't check before I bought the car but it is on the wovr register for what I am assuming was a front ender as the colour of the front bumper is slightly different. I have receipts for some of the work that I had done including front strut tops, both front wheel bearings and tailshaft rubbers. Car drives really nicely, front parking sensors need looking at as 1 is broken so the system doesn't work. 19

Servicing

SIMILAR MODELS TOHOLDEN CALAIS

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: HOLDEN CALAIS (2013 ONWARDS)

A high percentage of VF Calais were V8s, so that's where to start the checks.

Make sure there's no oil dropping from under the car, particularly around where the engine meets the gearbox.

The V8 also had a problem with noisy lifters that needed replacement, often under warranty.

The V6 engine is reliable apart from stretched timing chains that occurred in enough examples for it to be a problem.

But a car with a full service history is a lot less likely to have this problem, so check the books carefully.

Automatic transmissions should be smooth and quiet with no clunks or bangs as it selects a gear. It should also pick up Drive or Reverse from Park quickly, without any noticeable delay.

Make sure all the electronic gear that makes up a Calais works properly, too.
