I don't have time because I am still a student at college and I work at the same time, but I don't work for GM as you said. I think I told you before that I have more than one car. I usually buy holden cars from UAE and after about two or three months I sell the car. But I stopped buying and...

why are you so upset? there is nothing in the manual about the capacity. If you don't believe me, I will put a picture for the manual. It mentions only the transmission fluid (DEXRON VI).

Hi, My car has 4-speed automatic transmission. On the highway it is about 82C, but after about 40 minutes the temperature raises up to 104C. Sometimes, it reaches 105C then I immediately stop in the highway and I continue driving after the temperature goes down to 100C. The coolant temp is 91C...

Hi, I did alignment again, then a few days later and the car came back as before "Rear Tires are not straight". I gave up trying to diagnose the problem. I am going to replace any bushings that can cause the rear tires to be not straight. I found these photos for my car on Superpro website...

I will buy these spark plugs 8 Pcs NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs 1465 Premium Set IZTR5B11 | eBay do these park plugs fit for a VE v8 L98 6.0L?

now I am so confused. According to this pdf file, the gap should be 1.0mm for Commodore V8, VE 6.0L Gen IV L98 2006-2010. The part number is 41-963. http://www.acdelco.com.au/PDFs/Catalogue_ACDelco_Spark%20Plugs.pdf The dealer here is using the wrong spark plugs, right?

The dealer is using the ACDelco p/n 41-985 spark plugs. The spark plugs ran very well initially, but they only lasted 22,000 miles. The engine started misfiring after 22K miles. I used NGK website, and the NGK Equivalent Part is PZTR5A-15. I google it and I found that the gap for PZTR5A-15 is...

My car has a v8 engine. V8 engines don't require strip the inlet manifold when changing the spark plugs. :surprise:

Do these fit for my car? NGK 7397 TR5IX Iridium IX Spark Plug GM LS1 LS6 Taylor 79203 10 4 MM Wires | eBay NGK 7397 Iridium Spark Plugs TR5IX 4 Pcs New | eBay

so, what do you recommend me to buy?

I don't know much about spark plugs, but I read the pdf file. I understand that the both types are the same, but the only difference is that the laser iridium lasts more than the iridium ix. is that true?

Hi I will buy spark plugs, but there are two types. They are Laser Iridium and Iridium Ix. NGK Iridium/Platinum Spark Plug (64$ US) NGK Single Iridium Spark Plug (54$ US) Which one should I buy? I have two cars. One has L98 engine and the other car has LS2 engine.

I went to more than three mechanics to check the car. After checking the car, all of them told me the same answer. The car doesn't need replacing any parts. It has an alignment problem. I will go and do alignment again and I will make sure this time to tight the bolts enough.

I will check them tonight. Also I noticed something strange. Today before driving to work, I checked the tires. They become straight. :hmmm: I checked them again when I arrived home. They are not straight. :hmmm:

The steering wheel is vibrating between speed 90 to 115 km/h. The vibration is completely gone when my speed is 120. I will go to a mechanic to check the bearing.

The whole tire. If I show you a photo for my old tires, you would definitely say I'm doing burnout.

My tires worn out completely every 23,000 km. First set of tires = from 38,000 to 59,000 km Second set of tires = from 59,000 to 82,000 km It's not reasonable that I change a new set of tires every 6 months I have the rear tires like this / \ I think it's called negative camber. What...

The bushes might be worn out as you said. I can take pictures for bushes and post it here. But I don't know if you can tell if they are bad or good by looking at them?

Hi My last post was about a year ago. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/excessive-rear-tire-wear.223114 I bought new set of tires for my 2008 VE SSV. I bought them four weeks ago. I also did alignment because the rear tires were excessively not straight. Tire size = 245/45/18 Tire...

I will buy Taylor ThunderVolt 50 10.4mm Spark Plug Wire Sets, but I don't know what plugs to buy. I don't want to buy from the dealer here because the cost is very expensive and also the worst spark plugs. Which one is better? NKG V-Power or NKG Iridium IX? Iridium IX plugs are more...

hi, I never change spark plugs and wires before since I bought my car and now the odometer reading is 103000 km. Today, the engine became hard to start and after trying few times it started but with a rough idle. I was going to my work and when I stopped the engine was switched off by itself...

See this video to understand what I mean by sinking Fixing A Sinking Brake Pedal - YouTube

I put a master cylinder and new brake pads (front and rear). Also, I bleed the system five times. The brake pedal is still sinking but the brake is very good and you can stop the car at any time. Also, there is no grinding sound anymore. Now the problem is only the brake pedal is sinking to the...

thanks guys. I changed the brake fluid with Dot3 and did bleeding to the brake system. Everything is good and I can stop the car immediately, but there is a sound (grinding sounds) when depressing the brake pedal. I think it means it's time to change the brake pads.

Hi, I had an accident three months ago. The accident happened because the brake didn't stop the car at all, there was no affect after I depressed the brake pedal. Also, the brake pedal was sinking to the floor. I thought the master cylinder failed, but yesterday I checked everything in the...

I mean I changed my engine oil with filter and I didn't drive so much, just 3km to go back home and turned off the engine. I asked the mechanic, he said I put 9 liters (9 bottles each bottle is 1L). The owner's manual says 8.3L. There is 700ml extra. Is this 700ml extra a serious problem?

Hi, I just changed my engine oil 5w30, I drove 3 kilometers only. The mechanic should put 8.3L, but he put 9L!!!!!!!!! Is this a serious problem? What problems can you get when u overfill ur engine oil more than the recommended? Any bit of help would be appreciated.

Hello, I would like to use ceramic pads. I heard it is better and cheaper. Which one is better? Posi Quiet or Raybestos ? Do I have to replace my rotors if I want to use ceramic pads? My car is a 2008 Holden VE Commodore SSV . thanks.

My original old thermostat was 190F thermostat and it was stuck open all the time. I had to replace it with a new one. I thought it would be a good idea to installed a 160F (72C) thermostat. I installed it for one week, the coolant temperature was constant at 78C on highway and at idle was...
