    ZB Commodore Opel badges

    I want to put Opel Insignia badges on my ZB wagon. I have contacted some dealers in Europe, and they won't help me unless I have part numbers of the badges. Can any of you help me to get the part numbers? I haven't been able to find a free electronic parts catalogue. Thanks

    VF Commodore Sportwagon Towbar Options - Sydney

    No change at all with mine. Maybe they took off some sound shields and didn't refit them?

    VF Commodore Sportwagon Towbar Options - Sydney

    Here are some photos of my installation - https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=7909968562AB54D2!103832&authkey=!AJgWmhSTybJMZuE&ithint=folder%2cjpg I hope that they are useful. I probably should have taken more as I progressed. This towbar does have an isolation unit with a separate 12V...

    VF Commodore Sportwagon Towbar Options - Sydney

    I bought a 2100Kg kit on eBay from arandatowbars and it was around $550 including freight to my door. I have a 2014 VF SV6 wagon. I have fitted it myself and experienced some hassle with the wiring because I was expected to splice it into the factory trailer connector on the right hand side of...

    MyLink update?

    I'm having issues with Bluetooth audio and my Microsoft Lumia 930. It works fine with other Bluetooth devices. I want to play Spotify on my phone through the car (2014 VF SV6). It has worked once, though most of the time it will connect (Bluetooth) though MyLink says audio has stopped. The phone...

    VE Frequently Asked Questions

    Thanks for your reply. I ended up getting my ELM327 and using my phone to see what the fault was. After I replaced the faulty oil pressure sensor, I again used the phone to reset the errors. All good now!

    VE Frequently Asked Questions

    Here's a FAQ - is there a way to check ECU error codes by using the engine check light like you can with earlier models - i.e. VS, VT etc? I have a Bluetooth dongle thing which I have used with my phone before though a mate has it and I need to check the code now. Thanks!

    VE series 1 stereo trouble

    Did you actually read my post? Your issue is due to a faulty CD player unit. Get it replaced. I replaced mine and now everything is dead. This is now a different issue to yours.

    VE series 1 stereo trouble

    I've ordered a OBD2 Bluetooth interface to see if that tells me anything. If that doesn't work I'll take it somewhere though I HATE taking my car anywhere because they are all idiots. I'll do my best to figure it out myself first.

    VE series 1 stereo trouble

    I have a 2007 series 1 VE SV6 and the CD player intermittently gets a mechanism error. I put a 2nd hand stereo unit into my car as a fix, though it didn't work - the screen doesn't come on and none of the buttons work. I then removed the CD player from the 2nd hand unit and fitted it to my...

    Intermittent VS V6 won't start

    Hi guys, Some more info - It didn't start again this morning and I tried both keys - no difference. It seems to be temperature related. It started OK every day last week because it was overcast and wasn't as cold. Any ideas? It's obviously a bad connection somewhere. Where should I look first...

    Intermittent VS V6 won't start

    No need to be rude mate. Yes I know it has one stock. OK I'll try the second key and check the codes. Didn't think of checking the codes. Thanks for the ideas

    Intermittent VS V6 won't start

    No - I said the pump isn't getting 12V. No I don't have an alarm/immobiliser in the car. It's all stock standard.

    Intermittent VS V6 won't start

    I have a 1995 VS V6 and lately it has a problem when I go to start it, the fuel pump doesn't run. It is an intermittent problem. When it won't start, the pump isn't getting 12V to that proves there is nothing wrong with the pump. Both sides of the fuel pump fuse has 12V, so the fuse is OK. The...

    Does anyone know Byron Powell?

    It's been a couple of months now. He said we would refund though I'm still waiting so am just commencing legal action. I don't care if I end up more out of pocket. I'm going to get my money back off this guy! I went though the whole eBay dispute process. They said they can't do anything! I paid...

    Does anyone know Byron Powell?

    Yes I've already lodged a dispute with eBay and they have referred it to their relevant section to action it though they don't seem to be doing anything. I wanted to pick it up though he said he wasn't in town at the time so had to post it. Yeah I know it's buyer beware though I'm a...

    I need to find this guy. I bought a Commodore diff off him on eBay and I paid and he hasn't sent it. I'm pretty sure he lives in West Pennant Hills in Sydney Any help would be appreciated

    VR Speed Sensor Wiring

    Then yes what you have said should work OK. I'm no expert on the models before the VS though I'm pretty sure that you can run a manual with an auto computer as long as you move the speed sensor wire to A10 as per the photos. It's only the VS where things get complicated if you don't have a...

    VR - VS V6 engines - is the crank different?

    Long gone. Sorry. Got $350 for it

    VR - VS V6 engines - is the crank different?

    True, though there are only one or two common parts between the VN/VP/VR V6 and the Ecotec V6. Even the block is very different.

    VR - VS V6 engines - is the crank different?

    The flywheel bolts used in these engines can only be used once. I bought new ones so they should be fine.

    ITEM: Gearstick boot for VR or VS with a T5 box. This is the one attached to the tunnel, not the one you can see from within the cabin. LOCATION: Sydney, NSW CONDITION: New preferred, though 2nd hand is OK as long as there are no tears in it. DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: I'll pay for...

    Manual conversion

    Not true. I just did my auto to manual conversion and the cruise works fine. The cruise system doesn't interact with the ECU in any way. It just needs a working VSS.

    VR Speed Sensor Wiring

    I'm not sure, though the first step would be to make sure that your speed sensor wire is connected to your ECU as per the photos I attached earlier. These are from a factory VR manual loom. If the speed sensor still doesn't register with your ECU then I would think that you would need a manual...

    VR Speed Sensor Wiring

    I've got the speed sensor working with the VS manual computer and automatic loom. Yes I was right, as the auto VSS and manual VSS give out different signals, they connect to the ECU with different pins. All I needed to do was move the purple wire with the white stripe to D2 on the ECU (there was...

    VR Speed Sensor Wiring

    Here are some pics of VR manual connectors that may help you. The speed sensor wire is the purple one with the white stripe. It goes into A-10 in the connector.

    VR Speed Sensor Wiring

    Are you running with an automatic computer or a manual computer? If you have a manual computer it must just be a wiring thing because you are using both the computer and speed sensor that Holden used so there is no reason why it won't work. Yes I have been told that the auto computer can't read...
