    Default VZ SV6 issues

    Hi Guys,

    I own a VZ SV6 '04' 5spd semi auto,
    was great to start with , awesome car, i still love it ........... but now i hate it also
    I have come across problem after problem with cars so went out and bought this as i didn't wanna drive bombs around anymore, now the car has sucked all my cash up, and i find it difficult to get things done to it as $$ is scarce . i am trying to resusitate an old 'bomb' atm so i dont need to drive commodore all the time

    I had the transmission replaced last year ($1500), and then had the ring gear go about 4 months ago ($400),

    And now I am having some electrical issues that i need help with if anyone has experiences with this sort of thing

    SVS coming up on my dash all the time, had it checked and was told 2 sensors may need replacing both oil related, one being for the oil pressure..
    are the oil sensors a common problem?

    CHECK POWERTRAIN - has been coming up for about 2-3 weeks now, reset ecu removes this warning temporarily
    Is there any know reason why this is coming up?

    blinkers get stuck on when locking and unlocking car, have blown maybe 6 of the same globes in 3 weeks- been told BCM needs replacing

    At low revs full throttle car splutters alot, not so much on hot days, was thinking something is wrong with exhaust for it to do that as it feels like when it shutters/splutters it is restricted?

    And last but not least in the last week the car has started to make a whining noise which i think is coming from the engine.......somedays louder then others but so far no real pattern

    all mods to car where done by previous owner, full 2.5inch exhaust,headers, ss induction, tune
    any ideas? similar incidences with your car?

    got full compo
    Contemplating rapping it round a pole/ leaving car door unlocked in footscray/broady lol poormansjokes
    Any help is appreciated

    clearly this site is nothing like Ozhonda, where people fall over themselves to help,

    Hi sv647,

    I have plenty of BCM relays available that will solve the sticking indicator problem. I have sent you a PM with details.
    You can SMS or call me on 0425824333 if you wish to buy one.
    Cheers, Rodney.

    Oil pressure sensors very common and will throw the SVS warning.

    Blinkers stuck on ^^^what he said

    Spluttering at low revs could be anything, check for vacuum leaks or air leaks anywhere along the intake piping up to the throttle body.

    Whining noise could be a pulley bearing starting to fail.
