    What did you do to your VR/VS today?

    That looks like it would be excessive transmission cooling for a road-use transmission, even if you doing a lot of towing. Does it incorporate a thermostat to make sure the transmission fluid doesn't get too cool.

    Vx clubby seats

    The VT/VX seat back pockets should all be the same (for those Commodore models that have them as standard). Had them on my VX GTS which had cloth seats. They are fairly fragile if you use them for heavy items, and perhaps the person who sold you the Clubby removed them rather then going to the...

    Hmmmm. I patched the engine covers on my VX GTS with fibreglass around the bolt holes a number of times and never noticed any smell.

    I use a turkey baster to suck out the old fluid, it's better and faster than using a syringe.

    ICV valve

    Presumably you mean "disconnected" and not "discounted"? What do you mean by "icv"? Perhaps you could spell out what the initials mean so we can understand.

    B.C.M. Problems

    From the Holden VF Service Manual for you guys to fight over (LOL). Note the code K9 for a Body Control Module in the Control Module References. On a side note, using the Foxit PDF Reader for searching through the VE/VF PDF manuals for specific items, is unbelievably easier and faster than...

    VS commodore ABS issue

    Here you go all the vital information from the Holden VS Service Manual: RH Wheel Speed Sensor Continuity Fault. First step would be to check the ABS connector to the wheel to make sure it's seated correctly. From my experience they are sometimes very fiddly to connect properly.

    Help rewiring AC to Haltech

    Why are you doing this? Normally the Haltec is used for engine control and the normal Holden ECM/PCM is used to perform all the other remaining functions (such as A/C). That's certainly how Motec does it, and I'd be surprised if Haltec wasn't the same (although I could be wrong).

    Make sure your key remote is making contact with the ignition slip ring. You might have to pry it up a little (carefully).

    The accelerator cable needs to have 10-15mm of play. Too tight and you will get the symptoms you are experiencing.

    2011 Holden VE Berlina Auto stuck in first gear

    Can you shift gears manually using the shift lever? What engine? What gearbox? The item below is from 4L60e Common Problems and may have some relevance for your issue. Not sure that the xmember comment is relevant for a VE. 5. Trans does not upshift out of first, speedometer reads zero at...

    VS Ute Series 3 Power steering Pump

    Unfortunately, it was so long ago that I don't remember the details. The curse of a bad memory (and getting old!!!). However, the PS pump on my wife's Clubsport is getting very noisy. I purchased a new pump, but I'm procrastinating about changing it until it gets really, really bad. At the...

    H053 isn't really Hermitage Grey, it's actually DARK AMETHYST MICA, a purple black colour. In the sun it's purple, in the shade, closer to black.

    VS Ute Series 3 Power steering Pump

    So, you have wasted my time by not mentioning that your car is a V8 !!! For future information, the unwritten convention on this site seems to be that if the engine type isn't specifically mentioned it's assumed to be a V6. The V8s that I replaced the pumps on both had ABS (and it's a pain in...

    I've only had to remove/replace power steering pumps on VS V8's. Attached is a description of the process from the Holden VS Service manual. It doesn't mention any particular difficulty. Make sure you spray the connection a number of times over several hours with a penetrating agent, something...

    Might be oil surge. How is your engine oil level? You could try adding an extra 0.5l over the full mark on the dipstick to see if that makes any difference. Any performance mods?

    If the pump is still working OK, you could try installing a pump seal kit to fix the leak. You just need to replace the major seals (the ones that don't require special tools), something like in the attached links...

    You need to get your car scanned to see what error codes have been set. They will give you a clue on what's happening with your car.

    VS V8 over fueling

    Misleading comment. A failed coolant temp Sender (single wire) will not cause overfueling, but will cause the temperature gauge to be faulty. The comment is correct for the coolant temp Sensor (two wire).

    VX LS1 Electrical Malfunction

    Had the same problem, damn Adobe and their stupid security updates. Two available solutions, first you can download a previous version of Adobe Reader DC that doesn't have this problem - the one I had saved on my PC was a 3/2021 US version that works fine. However you have to disable the Adobe...
