Yeah mine wasn't blowing at my feet although you could here it move. The duct is actuated by a small motor assy and is a pain in the ass to replace but you can get to it from under the dash if you lie down and reach up. Olny cost $19.00 and a lot of bad words.

could be the coil packs or faulty/ wrong plugs. Sounds like a misfire or its dropped a cylinder. You could try to unplug the coil packs 1 by 1 and see if there is any change to the behavior of the engine.

Alloytec v6? could be as simple as a vacuum leak when re installing the intake manifold.

Hi posting for a friend. The car is a VY v6 he bought a few months ago and when he takes off for the first time after starting the car there is a small short vibration and noise coming from the what seems to be the front left for a second or so. I have heard this myself. I have a ve sv6 and...

Update. I belive issues posted on problems should have follow up or a fix so I thought I would update this thread . So after having the car at the dealer for 10 weeks (Thank you Holden Australia for a hire car the same as mine. Much appreciated) the engine was torn down and was found that more...

Try taking it to a suspention place like pedders to do a check. One would assume as they specialize in suspention they may have a better idea then the dealer.

So RiCey What would you do if this was your car?? Fyi been another couple of weeks and no response from holden left a message twice for the guy looking after my case no return calls yet.....

I would assume it would be a lot of work.Sv6 runs a very low diff(2.9 final drive correct me if im wrong) ratio no suitable for the 8, computer will be different gear box, engine mounts tail shaft . So if you had a donor car that had engine and mounts,gear box and possible crossmember,tail...

I think what he is trying to say is each turbo only needs to push out 6 psi but the actual intake boost would still amount to 12 psi and the load is shared to each bank. I.e 1 big turbo pushing 12psi or 2 smaller turbos pushin 6 each

2 one on each bank apparently. Has been in again for another 2 days for more testing.Did a leak down test,commpression test and said they stuck a scope down the intake ports to take some picks for the TAC case thats open. That was a week ago and no word as of yet

How in F@#$%s name did you guys get new engines when mines been pinging for 40k and been in 11 times??? Have a TAC case and a complaint logged with holden too. Do i need to threaten legal action or voilence???

This is still ongoing.Booked in again on the 4th june for "more testing" It will be the 11th time it has been in for this problen

Update. Took up a case with holden Australia went back and forth with the deal and holden for a few weeks.Deal contacted me before Christmas to book in early Jan for a few days. Said they fixed it by doing the same thing they did last time by spraying some **** down the intake manifold.Within...

Update. Went to book it back in a few days ago service manager said he would refer it to holden and to wait a couple of days for a response. In a nut shell i was told that holden knew of an excessive carbon build up problem on these model cars and are looking into it.Could take a couple of...

Ok sorry never meant for this to turn into a debate. FYI this is the second VE sv6 i have owned and i ran the last one the same with no issues(traded at 60k). As i have stated i and not a mechanic but i do rebuild dirt bikes for fun(two and four strokes splitting cases replacing pistonsand...

No mods exactly the way i bought it.

FYI There are probable all sorts of things the mechanics can do,but as i am not a mechanic or have any idea what they do i am trying to refrain from saying anything untoward about the dealership or the mechanics as i like to think they know what their doing.Facts only as best i can without my...

I would assume they would have done all the relevant checks.The mechanic looking after the car from what i have been told has the highest qualification you can get through holden as a tech.Think they said somthing like gold or lvl1 or somthing like that.

Update. Ok went back three weeks ago went in they tested the fuel said it was 91 octane which it was. I have already been down that road and know its not the fuel.Nothing was done as they said i didnt follow their recomendation.Fair call as they can only go by following the process for fault...

Update. So took it to holden again had it all day picked it up and they said no fault found no unusual sounds.Got cranky. Took one of their high level mechanics for a drive.Heard it that time confirmed it was a engine ping.He had a general concerned look and got me to book it in asap and they...

At the 2000rpm under load its seems to be continuous but as its quite a bad ping i try not to hold it at a point where it can drop a rod or bearing. Will give it a go tomorrow but i wont hold it 5-6 seconds as i would assume it would the cam would retard by then and i dont want it to go bang as...

2009 SV6 Sportswagon(non sidi)65000km's 5sp auto Been having a pinging/pinking pre-ignition knock that has been happing scince about 40000km's only under load between 1800-2100 Has been back to Holden Three times First time no fault found. 2nd time they said fuel, ran 98 three tanks...

Bump Bump Bump mines doing the same holdens had it three times. First time no fault found. 2nd time they said fuel, ran 98 three tanks still there, developed a ticking injector noise left bank,3rd time they saifd they took the manifold off and sprayed some **** in it ran three more tanks of 98...

I have a metal type rattle noise comming from the front of my 2009 sv6 sports wagon. The noise sounds metallic and is sometimes loud sometimes not so but i hear it most days particularly when driving near walls so i get that echo. It seems to only happen while driving between 1500-3000rpm...

Yeah but i dont trust them as they could say no so you have to get them to do it and or say its fine then it turns around to bit me on the a$$

Just want to know if getting your service done at a place other than holden will void your warranty?? as i have seen other place's state it wont but i am a bit hesitant to take it else were. any advice

Sounds like what mine is doing and the only way i can describe it it goes "wob wob wob wob wob" only when i take off after starting exactly as you described only for 2 seconds can seem to find the fix?????
