The engine does make a car. The turbo is brilliant. Mine always been good. No oil leaking from them. Not the other 4 i6 motors I've had. The interior is suited to someone of the mentality of a 7yo.

Never heard of a HSV lol, The falcon interior is suited to an 80 year old because it reminds them of the Good Ol Days hahaha!

Regarding your Falcon ownership, you must have either bought abused examples or neglected them. It takes a hell of a lot to have a B-series and onwards six cylinder Falcon carry on as you describe (unless it's on gas, but we won't go there ![]()

Yeah the turbo is good but the standard i6 is crap and a paperweight!

IF you had rough idling issues you could trace it directly to your aftermarket lpg. Should have bought an ecolpi. Oops it has moar power and torque.

The Calais I handed over when I left employment was a 2014 V6 and it went in to get the timing chain assembly replaced two months before I finished up. The service advisor mentioned that the timing chain issues weren't as common as they were on the VE, but they still got a lot in with the problem.

I drive my car on the speed limiter quite often and NEVER once have I heard a noise from the diff. The biggest problem with them is they aerate the oil at high speeds and breathe. How many did you go through? For someone who keeps tugging at the wheel on full lock, I'd guess a few?

Ok I am not replying on this again because it’s hard to have a solid argument when it seems the people in this tread are just too “Brand Loyal” and can’t see pass the oval badge! Because I am a Ford guy too and have had experience with both and just stating my ownership review on both cars and I know for a fact the commodore is a better car overall by my own experience!

The acronym SIDI is dumb marketing. Spark Ignition. like its a new thing. Maybe its so you can tell the difference from a Cruze diesel (they both sound the same)

As I said earlier, you can't let your crappy examples tar all atmo Barra engines with the same brush. Go drive an EcoLPi version and then compare.

What you are describing isn't diff slap and why didn't you get your diff bush replaced?
