    radiator coolent leak

    Apparently the earlier model VE's have weak cooling systems. Maybe replace O-Rings and the hoses? Try Chemi-weld? I have done this and so far I haven't had any coolant leaks for about 6 months I would suggest trying all the cheaper fix first mate. If you're unsure how to do these just...

    Pulsing sound when braking

    It usually cost around $50 to machine a rotor, so I'd say about $150-$200 to machine all your rotors depending where you go. So its always better value to buy a new set of rotors. Do you install them youself?

    2007 ve ss check engine light?

    i guess aslong as you dont damage the downstream O2 sensors when installing your catback exhaust. then you shouldnt have a CEL problem. only if you change or move your cats then you might get check engine error

    Random Misfiring

    A set of new NGK platinum spark plugs would be around $50 + Upper Intake manifold gasket that will probably also need replacing $50 (It would cost you around $200 labour+parts if the mechanics do the job - it's a fiddly job) A globe $10 A software update at holden $150-$200 I can't imaging the...

    Pulsing sound when braking

    Not_An_Abba_Fan is exactly right. Anyway, never machine your rotors even if your mechanic suggests it.

ABS ,MAF or Wheel Speed sensors? Throttle body? Battery? Loom fault? Timing...

    Have been told coolant leaks are common with the earlier VE cooling systems. i had the same problem. Replaced the rings, but still leaked. Replaced pump, but still leaked. Mechanics added chemiweld and that stopped my cars coolant leak. If it continues to leak after that then it's probably...

    Coolant Leaking & Mechanics

If this dosent stop the leak the mechanic said I will probably need a new head gasket - the car dosent seem to have symptoms...

    Coolant Leaking & Mechanics

    I wouldn't complain if the job was correctly repaired, as promised by the mechanic. I have never heard of coolant leaks jumping from place to place. The leak is obviously coming from a source if properly pressure tested. Your post is pointless.

    Coolant Leaking & Mechanics

    Thanks for the response. The car is operating at normal temperature. It appears the radiator is only leaking from the front and rear of engine. I've looked at the forum it could possibly be as you suggested, the o rings/connection. The coolant level in the resivor is low when engine cool and...
