Hi,

can somebody tell me a very common problem on a vg?

 

Cripes O' Mighty Batman! Just read though the *cough* FAQS! and the rest of the threads here.

 

lack of acceleration




hahahaha

 

transmission.

 

VG's have no problems. Just maintain it well.

Common problems throughout the car though include a disappearing/fading clock due to bad solder connections, and power window regulators breaking.

 

FAQ you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In addition to what may be in the FAQ, mine had

- one window motor failure
- antenna motor failure

Still has
- driver's side door & trunk lock mechanisms broken (I use touchpad, passenger's side door if needed)
- stock radio display broken (everything else works on the radio/cass.)
- worn shifter bushing (need to tap on the gear shifter to start engine)

Other than that, the car's been very reliable, easily one of the least problematic cars I've ever owned.

 

Bad 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

 

yeh, injectors went at !50k, trans at 143k, trunk lock has never worked in the time I've had it, window regulators are on last leg, clock started dimming, and turning on 1/2 the time, have to push that little thing in front of the shifter to get it out of park, gas light is broke, VC boots(all 4) tore, front suspension bad... but most of this happened before I got the car (at 143k). Stupid trans stopped a week after I bought the car.. $2900 when the car was worth $3200, then dropped $2100 in it for new tranny..

 

exhaust manifold studs

 

Hi,

i know that the vg is one of the most reliable engine for the 3gen compare to the ve that has almost alot of problems,

 

The VE is also one of the most reliable engine for the 3gen (actually, there are only two engine for the 3gen)


welcome to .org, read all the FAQs

 

"ALMOST alot of problems"? I would go with the VG verses the VE if I was looking for reliability alone, but if you're in it for reliability, go get a Honda Accord. The VE's do have some issues, but I can't say that they take much away from the overall reliability and fun of the motor. The problems I've had with my VE have been frustrating, but they can be repaired if you have a little mechanical knowledge and do your research. I'd have to say that ALL the frustration goes away when you get to drive the car.

BTW, I would consider 30 less horsepower and a little less torque a HUGE problem.

 

If anyone has "almost alot" of problems, it's been me!

 

Hi,

i have one of the vg engine,

the car seems fun to drive and it is ok,

my be a little problem but i can deal with it,

i know the t-belt might need to be replace and the water pump and the tensioner but everything else seems ok,

iam going to not switch over to a honda because i like quick and fastness in a car so honda would not be good for me but a max would be good for me,

honda are a good reliable car but i don't like the inside of the car,

there little room for your leg's and the max fit me just right,

the honda accord seems a little bit slow then a max,

so no honda accord for me,

max all the way

 

Yeah, I wouldn't seriously tell you to get an Accord. The max is a very reliable and sufficiently powerful car that you will probably be happy with for a long time. Just do the proper maintenance and I'm sure you will be happy with it, don't get me wrong by the above post, I DO like VG's, just not as much as VE's.

 

Depends on WHICH Accord. The ones with the V6 are faster than a VG max

 

Injectors are a problem on Vg's. They are ~170cc so they'd be running at a high duty cycle most of the time. From what I remember, injectors running at 80%+ duty cycle all the time wear out quick. Well, put on some mods on a Vg maxima and you are pretty close to that!

 

trunk lock as in the lever/button or the key? if its the lever/button then open the trunk and flip that switch on the latching mechanism

i beg to differ.... ok so i do have some mods on my car

 

front wheels spin too much

 

finally a pic of a max streched i love that!

 

that's a real pic of a maxima limo
it's from South Africa

 

that is frakin hot I want one imported sob..sob...

 

exactly

VG30E stands for "Very Good 3.0 Engine"

on window regulators, exhaust studs, timing belt, slow-shifting tranny(AT). I've noticed some lousy electrical work, but nothing to the point where your car won't keep running fine.
