Hey guys, I've got a complete set of original ss skirts fresh from being painted and i'm needing some help in getting these installed. I have here a picture of one of the side skirts. It says RH (right hand obviously) but I just want to double check which side it actually means? Also those...

Hi Guys, I'm at my wits end with this car of mine... I have air in the cooling system and no matter how much I bleed it, flush it, replace parts and so on it keeps swishing around! I can hear it loudly through the heater core and it's driving me mental! So far I've replaced the Radiator and it's...

Mate I would also check your alternator insulator and make sure it's still in good condition, if not there could be issues as you've described. Good Luck

No mate I haven't, and getting a video with audio of this happening is proving a little difficult. I take the serpentine belt off, tick her over and wait recording away hoping that it won't take long. So yeah, to no avail i'm afraid. I'm looking forward to that one suggestion or comment that'll...

Tip of the hat to you Ephect! I've done exactly as you've described and am now getting terrific fuel economy! Last long trip I made in my 95 series 1 VS vacationer V6, the fuel in the tank from full to roughly 30kms left in tank, I achieved 680kms highway driving compared to the 460ish I was...

Have you checked to make sure the injectors are getting clean volts from there plugs? I had a nasty time trying to diagnose an issue similar when all the while the injector power was ever so slightly off from the injector plug itself? It's always the small things that cause big head aches! I...

From experience when I've come across issues like this I always start to look at the devices that continue to receive 12v of power even if the car is off... e.g. The radio, interior lights, glove box lights, incorrect SMD or LED setup if you've recently bought pretty white lighting for those?? I...

Well kinda? its a very strong noise from the front of the engine, say if i put a screw driver to the thermostat housing it's very loud, however, putting it on the water pump i get nothing, under the plenum behind the injectors, well sort of, honestly it's the most bizarre thing I have ever...

Thanks for your replies fellas! I did in fact forget to mention that I did try that belt removal trick to no avail... Even just now as i've only come back inside from scratching my head staring at the engine whilst its making this noise can I conclude that the noise is almost defiantly coming...

Howdy Commodore Forum!, Firstly a brief history; My pride and joy is a typical VS V6 with 170,xxx on the clock. I'm the second owner, the original owner was an older gentleman! This car had been babied all it's life and since I've had it going on 6 months now, has continued to be babied...

Still having issues with this. Currently these are the things i've done to try and resolve this issue. Different Computer Changed Temp sender and sensor changed different Level 3 clusters re solider points on the voltage regulator pcb What I haven't done is thoroughly check my patch loom as of...

Had a similar issue myself, it also wasn't just when air con was on either... If I had the vent blowing towards the face and the fan turned on and gave it a bit up a hill it would switch to the foot well area... The fix as I understand it was the vac hose from off the top of the transmission...

Yeah this thread is a bit of a dig... Anyway, to answer your question the wiring that was the issue was located leading from the drivers side rear lights. The loom that follows back into the body of the car towards the interior was pretty messed up for some reason... The easiest way to resolve...

Hey guys, Yes i know another level 3 Cluster question however, I'm installing my patch loom into a newly aquired VS series 1 which installed fine. It also worked fine in a previous commodore setup. My issue that I'm having now, and for the farking life of me, cannot seem to pin point is this...

Hey mate, In my opinion it does sound more like a CAS issue than anything else. I've had similar issues with a SII VP I once owned... I found out that whilst I needed to continually replace CAS sensors during one small but irritating time during my cars life, they didn't always throw an error...

Well end of an era... Some stupid old mole decided that the laws that govern her continued use and allowance to travel the road now no longer be applied to her and she simply continued to drive through a round about which I was in the middle of. As you can see, got t-boned good and proper...

Hey guys, I've recently purchased a mint VS vacationer sedan. However I'm needing to remove those stupid looking Vacationer stickers without damaging the clear coat. Reason being is that they look as if they've been clear coated over and I don't want to risk damaging the clear coat or paint as...

DESCRIPTION: Wanted to Buy ITEM: VS commodore sedan front and rear door cards with electric window holes. These need to be a light grey colour scheme typically seen in silver commodores of the same model. I'd also be happy to evenly trade the ones I have. These are from an arctic white...

I'm thinking that because it was sitting there for so long with no fuel in the tank, that the fuel pump maybe seized up. There's no real test to make sure however. You've basically done everything you could do to suggest happily, that the pump is done. Not having fuel in the lines is never...

Nah, you won't see a spring in the pipe itself, the spring is actually with in the plastic/rubber mould. Try this... with 2 or 3 fingers, squeeze your new pipes. If both walls of the pipes are touching with ease then they have no spring in them, on a GM one or similar, if you try the same it's...

Good progress so far... It has potential for sure! Just wanted to give you the heads up with those pipes, some (not all) but some radiator hoses don't actually have a spring embedded in the plastic mould . The reason for this is because the cooling system is under pressure when operating and the...

acetone will cause cancer like sump oil causes cancer... everything does eventually... tell that to all the women out there removing nail polish with acetone!!! as for expense, $8 or less for a liter at Mitre 10 and places like that. you pay more for injector cleaner and get less of it. Acetone...

Here's a suggestion, a pretty controversial one at that, I might add... Acetone... add about 2.5ml to 1L of petrol... What this does is allow the petrol to ignite a burn more completely in the piston chamber by bonding with the petrol and not acting as a separate chemical. It also increases the...

c'mon guys, there's got to be someone out there wrecking a ute or a wagon that may have one of these. Although I know they are a relatively rare part, I'm prepared to pay accordingly. Cheers.

DESCRIPTION: Wanted to buy ITEM: Item I require is the shroud and gear display indicator for a VS commodore column shift (Auto) LOCATION: N.S.W. (Snowy mountains area) CONDITION: Wanted as best condition as possible. DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Happy for it to be delivered, will...

Nah this was never a taxi, I have complete service history and it only has 242,xxx on the clock. Taxi's most certainly had these kinds of setups however. With the crappy brown looking vinyl bench seats and brown dash board etc... Thanks also uniacidz, the interior wasn't ever planned, but...

Agreed "The General" The battery should always be disconnected when attempting something like this or anything that may have the risk of exposed wires to short out somewhere... Also the airbag light if applicable can be triggered or (SRS fault) logged, this can be mildly frustrating, however if...

surprisingly that's a simple but elegant design mate!!! People certainly need this, I mean ****, sign me up, I'll take one right now! The plastic one is most definitely a joke and after this long since the VS/VR has been around there not looking great... Now the pic may not make a lot of...

Thanks Someguy360 :) I'm quite happy about it being column shift also! It's a refreshing change to that of a T-Bar setup, and although I do enjoy that myself, I like that this car of mine feels "Old School" like, low rider?, or cheech and chong?.. Not that I care for that, but that's kinda how I...

My idea for that!, Air box gone!, Relocate MAF sensor close but not on the throttle body, from there the wide mouth CAI would somehow take advantage of the fact cool air can be induced from that point whilst driving. Much like old school VN/VP V8 bonnet scoops, I would guess at the idea to...

Ohh and I need to state! I don't actually know much about Commodore Utes... It's unfortunate to say but I've never owned one, worked on one, or anything... And it sucks... Now, because there are soooooooo many similarities to those with column shift commodores and (generally speaking), most...

Mate that would be unreal!!! A redesign of the current OTR CAI types for the VR/VS and other Holden models of course, would be the greatest!!! I mean although there is a few of them, there are people consistently modifying there CAI by cutting out plastic etc on the assumption more air will be...

On a money saving note.. And i am not in any way condoning this, but second hand may be an option... What I mean by this is maybe finding a wrecked commodore at a wreckers or the likes and buying a harmonic balancer and CAS off a wrecked car? Reason I don't like this idea is a follows...

Hey OP If you have a "serpentine" belt? or Jesus belt? (one belt to rule them all), this belt actually drives all other pulleys with in the engine, for all Buick V6 engines and Ecotec engines. This also includes your VR! (Buick). From Harmonic Balancer, (Big Round pulley at the bottom of...

Perfect description above. Thanks BlackVXGTS! I would like to suggest also; Some commodore's (Any model) are susceptible to developing dry joints with in the solder contact points of the wire connectivity to the radiator fan. (This I know to be something auto electricians check for if temp is...

Hi Brett_jjj, Couple of questions regarding a scenario my partner has encountered with her VP (Late 92 Model) (Thank you for these pics, they'll help greatly in future attempts to get a fuel pump back in :) ) As my partner is one of those stubborn self learners/starters etc she attempted...
