Holden Commodore 2006: Dislodged radiator

...

Have you heard of the top spout of the VE Commodore V8 radiator breaking off, dislodging the top radiator hose? It did on my car, which is five years old, and cost me $550 excluding fitting. My dealer told me they have seen it before, but Holden says it isn't a problem.

We haven't had any other reports of this issue, but we have seen reports of the radiator failing. The plastic fitting in the radiator breaks away and you need a new radiator. The problem seems to occur when the car has done around 70,000 to 80,000km. I would be pressing the dealer and Holden for a replacement radiator.
