Holden Captiva 2011 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Holden Captiva 2011 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Are there any risks or problems buying a 2011 Holden Captiva vehicle?

    As second-hand buys go, the Holden Captiva is a no-go zone. These were not reliable cars when they were new and the years and kilometres since have only made that situation worse. The V6 petrol engine is prone to stretched timing chains which is a huge and expensive job to fix and the automatic transmission is also a turkey. The Captiva was also home to many an oil leak and electrical problems are common.

    These are now cheap cars, but for a very good reason. But even a car that is cheap to buy can wind up costing you lots if you need to constantly repair it. There are plenty of far better alternatives.

  • Holden Captiva 2011: Why is it stalling?

    It sounds like the entire car is shutting down. And if that happens at speed, or just as you’re preparing to pull out into moving traffic, that’s an incredibly dangerous thing to be happening. The best advice is to have the car scanned electronically, at which point the real problem might raise its head.

    Beyond that, you’re clutching at straws, because whatever is going on is a fairly serious problem. Scanning the on-board computer doesn’t take long, and diagnosing the problem this way will save you time and money in the long run. It might even save you from a crash.

  • Holden Captiva 2011: Stretched timing chain

    It needs to be fixed, it’s worth very little if you don’t repair it. There’s no reason to believe that you won’t get many more years out of it if you do have it repaired.

  • Holden Captiva: Door noise

    It could be any number of things, the only way to find it to remove the door panel and take a look. I’d suggest you get a workshop manual to find out how to remove the door panel; they’re readily available on line.
