Thanks vr5speedv6! Got heaps of gunk off my evaporator and the flow's way better than it was. I butchered the hole a bit as the VZ doesn't have as much room to work with but all good. I just forked out for a new blower unit from Holden a few weeks ago thinking that was the problem...shoulda...

Thanks again Silverbird for suggesting using my spare key. It's been a few weeks now and my car has started first time, every time and hasn't missed a beat!

Still going good...can't believe the key could be the culprit :)

Thanks. I tried the spare key today like you suggested and so far...so good :)

I do have a spare key...I'll try it tomorrow. The battery's only a few months old and the connections are good. I'm hoping it's nothing to do with electrical or computer stuff. As I mentioned to commodore665, everything started to go wrong after I used that intake manifold cleaner :(

I think you're right...I used this liqui moly intake decarb and I'm pretty sure all it did was send all the crap in the intake manifold into the injectors and stuffed them up. That's when I had to replace the plugs and coils. I can hear the fuel pump priming...sounds okay.

When I start the car after it's been driven for a while it will start briefly and then stop. Next time I crank it it's fine. It's been only doing it once for a while now and never stalls when driving, only when switched off and back on when warmed up. Recently, after not driving for a few...

Thanks Mate, that makes sense. Weird it didn't overheat later in the day when I drove home...must be on it's way out and not totally stuffed yet like the work car you described.The only thing I can't work out was a large puddle of water under the car when I first drove it and the reservoir was...

About a month ago, my radiator side tank let go on my 04 sv6 auto and I had a new radiator fitted.(was about 150k from home of course). Today I'm driving along about 40k from home and I get the engine temp warning...the temp guage is through the roof so I pull over. The fans were running with...

Hey, I've had some parts put away for years for my Vz sv6 and I've just looked at one of them and it is slightly different than whats on the car. I was wondering if anyone knows which Commodore it's from, it's the cruise control stalk. The one on my car should be p/n 92 089 544 - 854325 -...

Thanks for that. Thought it'd be an easy job!

Having trouble installing fuel filter on my sv6...is there some trick to getting the clips to fix back in place?

I don't know if it's the same noise, but my sv6 auto with 68k made a whirring / whining noise the other day after some 'spirited driving'. It only lasted a short time and didn't increase with speed so maybe it's different to your problem? I also noticed the same noise in the mornings when I...

Thanks Impulsesv6, My sv6 is nearly 3 yrs old so that makes sense. I'll replace my battery before my warranty runs out in October to make sure!

Does anyone else have the ABS Fault warning on startup? It doesn't happen every time...so far I've had it looked at 3 times. Holden replaced the ABS Module and the wheel sensor and cleared the codes but it still displays the warning. Does any one have any idea what Holden should do next as I...

On startup my vz sv6 shows the message ABS Fault and plays its little tune. I've had it back to Holden where they fixed a sensor?? on the front wheel and sent me on my way. The next day it started again. It doesn't always show the warning, only occasionally....anyone else have this problem...

Hi all, Does anyone else with a VZ SV6 auto have trouble with the placement of the steering wheel paddle shifters? To use them, you have to have your hands at 9 and 3 o'clock position and tuck your thumbs behind the spokes. I love using them, don't get me wrong, I wanted to ask if anyone...

I prefer the paddles, they really should've stuck with 'em, it now looks like holden thought ford got it right! They could've made more of a feature of the paddles ( maybe steel / alloy and larger?) and positioned them so that you didn't have to drive with your hands resting on the spokes and...
