I have the same drama, the motor just keeps on going after i replaced the arial. I just twist the top of the arial clockwise and it seems to fix the problem for a little while!

thanks mate, I remember the light going out with the other ones. But should be okay I had a couple of CD's down the side of the seat and thought that might of set it off. Least i'm not the only one with it happening.

I just dug this post up, same thing happening to me any ideas?

Yeah they were at Hamilton Holden it think they were excess stock, the whole setup, bolt off bolt on.

Dirty fuel filter?? Some of the dirt could of settled as it hasn't been used for a week.

Thanks commsirac, now I have an understanding between propane and butane. I'll stick to filling up at Woolworths as its cheaper and you get the 4cents off and was only what one dude said the led me to question it!

Hi All, Just wondering which is the best LPG to use as I know there is different mixes of butane and propane. I currenly use Woolworths LPG but I have heard that it is quite dirty and won't take long to clog your gas filters. Also I was under the impression that BP LPG is lower octane than...

take your battery terminal off for bit over an hour, might reset it, worth a go, don't worry you won't have to put the code in.

I think I had the same noise going over tram tracks, I think it was the abs being a bit premeture. It was pretty damn noisy when it happened...

Geez just had a look this morning trying to figure out how many my car had, it's a 11/05 model and it just looked like it had 2 of the 4 wire types and there in such a convienent location to get to, haha!

Fairly expensive then, they said it would cost me a bit over 250 but i thought i'd save a few $$ and learn a few things by putting them in by myself?

Hi all, I just had the 'powertrain' warning come on in my car on Friday. Took it to Holden and said it was the o2 sensors on both sides. (it's out of warranty) Just wondering how many the VZ's have? Are they easy to replace? What cost am I looking at for the sensors...

bajdas, I have the factory system made by BRC or someone like that, runs like a dream and costs bugger all. I was told that they change the valves and seats over to compensate for the extra heat... It has 162,000km's on the clock with no dramas so far, I just place a small bottle of Flashlube...

Andyman, I just cleaned the throttle body, although I didn't take the whole thing off just the front hose. I disconected the battery and cleaned it, it seems to be ideling better but the problem only seems to come up as the car reaches the operating temperature for a while, so I'll take it for...

Thanks Andyman, I'll give it a go tomorrow after work, the problem is getting a little worse the revs sort of drop out once you get off the accelarator...

Hi All, I have a VZ '05 on factory LPG and having a problem which seems to be getting worse... As I pull up at traffic lights to a complete stop it feels asthough the engine is about to stall or sometimes whilst idleing it idles rough. You can see the tacho moving up and down. It has a...

Hey mate, I changed the Coolant on my VZ and used the genuine stuff (part no. 92145527) should cost you a bit under $40 if the spare part dude looks after you and gives you trade, supposed to be really good and says that you don't need demineralised water and the reckon the coolant is good...

I think I'll give it a go for only $30-in a 500ml bottle I can't really go wrong with it. If anyone else has used it let me know, interested to hear other reports from what Tom_1569 said I reckon it could be alright. Thanks mate

Thanks for the replies. Thought it would be too good to be true, I think I'll give the meguairs range a go. I'm currently using the TurtleWax hard shell shine not to bad for $11 a bottle hahaha.

I have been put onto this polish by a mate of mine eXtraShine Australia - CarLack Polish and Car-Lack Auto Paint Protection He said it was a really good polish as I don't want to waste my time and money on heaps of products which I am well aware that I will probably get a better finish by...

I think that they installed hardened valves and seats to compensate for the dryness of the fuel, well that is what they said on the fact. fit VZ's

haha, a bit cruel but if you go down to the Similar Threads at the bottom of the page have a look at the one that says parts for sale!?!

Hi rokkz, I wouldn't bother with the idea either I was deciding weather putting a flashlube system on my VZ (fact. fit) would be beneficial but I called a few places in Melbourne and they said it was pointless they don't normally get enough fluid into the system. I currently just put 1 of the...

VZ 914, I used the genuine ones part number 92067204 or the Bosch number is HR7MPP302X they are are platin plug and seem to be good plugs with a 100,000km life and run perfect with my VZ being on LPG. Just make sure you have a long extension bar for the plugs as you need about 20cm of reach...

commsirac, it takes about 4-5mins when the car has been left overnight in the cold, and as as the car reaches it's running temp or is still hot after running it is almost instant. Great setup. Anyone think there would be any benefits in adding flashlube?

Hi all, I've been reading a lot of threads about LPG systems and that flashlube systems are very critical to stop cylinder head failure. I have a VZ with the factory LPG system on it and runs perfectly, but as a preventive measure I have been wondering whether running some of the...

I'm interested to wheter they have changed the valve seats. But apart for this I have a VZ '05 on the factory LPG with 160,000km's and haven't any dramas, it's still running really well with no different sounds from the motor to when I purchased the vehicle. For anyone wondering about the...

Hi all, We have recently have had rain in Adelaide woo hoo! But this posed a problem for me when I pulled out my runners and socks form the drivers passenger side foot rest and noticed it was all fairly wet. I checked for any leaking water bottles but there were none around and all the...

Thanks for all you replys from what I've read the engine is running at the correct temperature. IPCOlsenVZ thanks for all the infomation i'll be sure to test the thermostat at the temperatures just to double check. Here is a picture that I going to post if anyone is unfamiliar with the markings.

Hi, I have a VZ 2005 Executive wagon on Factory Gas, I'm about to change the coolant and possibly the thermostat and I'm unsure whether the thermostat is operating correctly. The engine temp currently runs between the 1/4 and about 0.5 of a centermeter above the quarter mark (1/4 mark when...
