1995 Holden Berlina VS review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's a lovely car, but always spending $$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hey, I have only just registered this car, it's a 1995 VS Berlina.
I already had to replace the harmonic balancer, it as had bad shudder; they said was off a different model.
I've also had to have engine flushed and a few codes reset, as it was losing oil pressure. Also had a cracked L/H exhaust manifold.
Currently it has a very annoying tapping sound coming from back of the passenger side of the motor. I think is the tappets. Can anyone help if it has happened to there car?
Also I think my auto is starting to slip.
Apart from that, it is a beautiful car around town on trips, and an awesome all round car.
Awesome performance, but it's never had a flogging in the time I've had.
General comments?
My VS is OK, although the performance could be better, but I think auto just needs a service to improve.
It handles like a dream (great), and is very smooth to drive.
As for my interior; it is a tad dirty, but nothing a good clean won't fix. Very neat and tidy looking interior compared to my old VN and VP.
