THERE is a problem with the engines in the Vectra and Astra, and Holden issued a dealer alert, changing the service interval from 120,000km to 60,000km. Your car should have been picked up by your Holden dealer when you took it in for service. Another Cars Guide reader had a similar problem and was able to negotiate a settlement with Holden to pay of the repair costs. I suggest you contact the dealer from whom you bought the car. If you have no joy there, contact Holden.
