Pretty sure I know the answer, just wanted a second opinion. Would I need to drain the oil if I am removing the manifold to install insulators? Cheers

08' VE Omega - LE0 Last week this code decided to hang and hasn't left yet. Could someone point me in the direction of where to start with this, ie, remove and clean the sensor and the port or just buy a replacement? Or is there other steps I can try before spending money? Oil level is...

Picked up a new daily/cheap work commute last week so I can finally park up the Omega and do the work that is needed. Was blowing white smoking on the ride home (I was aware of that when I purchased it) so I have stripped it down to the frame so I could get to the motor and check over and...

I’ll probably get shot for asking about this make in this forum But I will be picking up 2 EA falcons in the coming weeks, one running, one spare parts. Courtesy of my partners grandfather entrusting me with his old rides. (Would have preferred the kingswood, but i would be stepping on toes...

Wondering what hoops I will have to jump through to install a head unit in the glovebox. Is it just a matter of rerouting the loom through the rear of the glove box and hooking it up that way, or is there a lot more to it? Cheers. 08' VE Omega

Can't find a straight answer on this, so some insight would be much appreciated! Is it possible to swap a 4L60E from a VZ to VE omega? If so, what hoops do I have to jump through to get it to work? Cheers, Damo

Was under the car having a look at what could be cleaned up and took a pic of the engine mount. I'm not too familiar with the engine mounts and that so wanted someones opinion on the state of mine. Appreciate it! Edit: 08' Omega

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1999-holden-commodore-executive-vt-auto/OAG-AD-20927047/?Cr=83 Just having a look through car sales, see whats out there. Can someone please explain to me how this VT is worth more than say my VE omega with only 89K on the clock? seeing that Omegas are...

Been wanting to do a smoke test on my Omega just to see if I have any leaks anywhere. Just unsure on how to carry out the work and what tools I need to do it at home, if anyone can shed some light. Did a quick ebay search and came up with this...

08' Omega, Kings LPG aftermarket system Every now and then I will get DTC P2179 with the engine light pop up. Only started happening since I started using the LPG system. The system had a service before use, runs well. When this code makes an appearance, the car idles slightly rougher than...

08' VE Omega, dual fuel. Looking to replace O2 sensors for a freshen up, since I've pretty well replaced alot of the other sensors. Do I need 2 pre and 2 post cat? and if so, which brands would you's recommend. As there seems to be a lot of different ones ranging between all different pricing...

I post enough on here so thought I would open a thread on my ride. Purchased my 08' Omega a few months back after the 2022 February floods in Brisbane. Lost my little Corolla in the wet, kind of a blessing in disguise as I got to get something I can get my hands dirty with. 08' VE Omega -...

Just come across this little fella, anyone tried this at all or know of anyone that has? looks a bit odd...

Just checked under my diff, the sticker has been removed, so just wanted someone to shed some light on this. I'm guessing its a 3.27 non LSD. Could someone tell me if I am wrong or can confirm that this is the diff that comes factory. (2008 VE Omega auto) Cheers

Morning fellow commy enthusiasts. Just wanted to get a quick hand with the EVAP solenoid. Ticks like crazy and kills the car after i fuel up aswell as rough idle at times on start up. Wanted to know if this is the correct one, I think it is, but want that second opinion. Will be replacing it...

I've seen the advice on using upper engine cleaner and all that, but as I will be removing the upper manifold to (hopefully) easy out a snapped bolt in the block, I wanted to know if you can just use some degreaser or throttle body cleaner on the inside and clean it out that way? I know it...

On of the door cards were starting to sag and **** me off, so went to spotlight and got 1msq of standard fabric for $10 and gave it a go myself. Something different, that’s for sure. Worked out pretty well, a lot of fine work to get all the trim neat (this is far from perfect) but now know what...

Howdy, Has anyone here had any experience with this brand of coilovers from maxpeedingrods.com? I will drop the link below. Now I know its on the cheaper end, but hey, seems like a bargain for what it is and with warranty, can you really knock it? If any one has had any experience with these or...

Haven't really looked into them since my old VY days and cannot seem to find ny available through mace and them. Are mail order tunes still a thing for these alloytecs? or is a tune up at the mechanics the best/only way to go now? Cheers.

I know catch cans have been covered numerous times, but still cannot quite find the answer i am after. I have purchased my catch can (SAAS ST1003) and just want to know if i need to run it inline witht the pre existing PCV hoses that run into the manifold? OR Can i have the catch can mounted...

Wanted to see if any here knows of any Brisbane mechanics, that know how to and would remove the LPG system from my 2008 Ve omega. As well as changed the wires over for petrol. For the price of the system. Cheers in advance!
