Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does a timing chain last on a VE Commodore?

While intended to be a lifetime part, a VE Commodore timing chain often requires replacement between 100,000km and 150,000km, but driving conditions and maintenance affect longevity.

2. What are the early signs of timing chain failure in a VE Commodore?

Early indicators include a loud clicking on start that fades once oil pressure rises, followed by a persistent rattle and the illumination of the check engine light.

3. Do I need special tools to change the timing chain myself?

Yes. A VE Commodore timing chain replacement requires, at the very least, a camshaft locking tool kit to hold the cams in place. Attempting this without the correct gear risks catastrophic engine timing failure. You may also need an engine support or stand. If you are unsure, it’s worth going for a professional fitting.
