Transmission has only done about 30,000km since rebuild was no noise in previous car the transmission came out of. The noise was there with my previous transmission and the new transmission and also still there after doing the 25,000km first trans service. Thanks for idea but I don't think...

Have a weird one for you guys. 2002 VY S Ute, Ecotec 3.8 Auto with 427,000km on the clock. Has a squeak or squeal only on deceleration and only above 60kph. Can drive it all day around back streets and don't hear a thing. Take it above 60 and has a squeak / squeal as soon as you back off the...

Still got them? How much for both including XU6 wheels and car trailer?

Drained about 18 liters in total, no bullshit... Filled it up with the recommended oil (bought genuine filter and Acdelco oil but have a bit of smoke from the oil cap and PCV fresh air inlet so need to take the driver's valve cover off and clean out the PCV outlet. Apart from that running and...

No I'm serious. Maybe even more. I filled an 8l oil tub almost to the top 6l or maybe a bit more) then 4l the second time I drained it and still above full. Went to Amcap and bought the Acdelco semi-synthetic stuff Holden recommend and a genuine filter drove it on a few short trips and no rattle...

Just drained 10l of oil out of the engine and still sitting above full on the dipstick. Drove it up the road and back much more power and idling whisper quiet out the front of the shop for 20 minutes now. Not too sure on the grade of oil but was pretty murky and horrible looking so I would...

Open the bonnet, on the radiator support panel, passenger side above the headlight will be a build plate. On the top line you will have the build information. VT8V@$$ &&& *** Where: @ is the model type (K = Executive based which includes S, SS, Equipe etc, L = Berlina based, X = Calais based)...

Having a weird issue with a 2005 VZ HBA Alloytec engine. Engine starts and runs perfectly, smooth and not one rattle or tick upon startup. One of the quietest Alloytecs I've ever heard. After some time the car comes with a "Check Oil" light and continues to drive like normal. Sometimes this...

Bought a VT Commodore wagon with an L67 out of a VT S from a friend with a rough idle and misfire under load. Planted it in the corner but now another friend wants to purchase the car from me once it's running right and I'm now building a L67 VY wagon so to get rid of this one would be nice...

Have a VX Berlina LS1 wagon. Has progressively developed an issue when trying to start. When I turn the key I hear a loud click from the starter motor but no cranking. After several attempts it will crank, fire and run. Before I start this is NOT an immobilizer issue so please don't suggest...

Need to use a series 2 wiring harness the serial data link between BCM and ECU is run completely differently between the two.

I hope you didn't put new pads on scored rotors.. If you did the pads will get eaten away much faster and rotors will heat up unevenly. Would have been worth replacing rotors while you are there

Picked up a VX Calais for $700 unlicensed the other day for spare parts. On close inspection the car appears to be worth relicensing (In WA the cheapest Calais on Gumtree is $4,900!!!) However there are some dramas with the ABS/Traction control system and Engine light. I originally had the...

I would be changing the gear indication plate on the passenger side of the gearbox. You can do this under the car it is a little tight you'll need a 17mm spanner and a 13mm 3/8 socket and ratchet to remove it. Seen these go plenty of times causing starting issues and actually bought a VT...

Fuel filter, vaccuum leak, MAF sensor.

You need the same part number BCM to do a proper swap. I've seen people use newer BCMs in older cars but never the reverse. Also I would assume a VT Exec would only have a LOW BCM where the VX Acclaim would have a MID BCM to operate all the extra features especially electric windows. Also...

Hi guys a friend has a VZ SS and every time she puts the car in reverse the indicator fuse blows. Any ideas? Got me stumped. Thanks in advance.

They always stay on the screen one of the good things about Commodores.

No spark on plugs 1 and 3. Those are the two leads that shock me when holding them near headers to test for spark. Tried new leads, new coil and new ignition module no difference. Is that the same as an Ecotec one? Haven't tried changing that yet although unlikely to disable a whole car it is...

Never mind, didn't fix the issue

Hi all, further to my phantom starting problem - http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/220847-vt-l67-phantom-starting-problem.html?highlight=phantom Just wondering if my L67 memcal will operate in an Ecotec V6 ECU? I have a matching set of ECU, BCM and keyhead...

Cheers for the replies guys I will try the plugs and leads when I get some time. Quickly pulled the cam sensor off today and I think the magnet is still in position (is there only the one?)

I have a 1997 VT SS with the L67 supercharged V6 engine. This car has been driving me crazy with a starting issue that I just can't find. I'm going to post in order everything that I have done to the car to eliminate the problem and I'd really appreciate input that could help me find this issue...

Did you do front and rear radius bushes or just front most people forget the rears. Also, i suggest new struts and tie rod ends and check for scalloped tyres from previous **** alignment.

You got lucky most ebay sellers sell things for $1 plus $24 postage so they have to refund you bugger all if you return it. A business will NEVER cop the cost of postage in a situation like that. Cheers for the tip though, my XU6 has the Manta kit so good to know.

Multimeters arent expensive. Even try a coil pack and dfi module off a friends car theyre only 3 bolts. Also fuel pump and filter, probably not clutch if revs are consistent with speed.

Its not something silly like a slipping clutch is it? Id be maybe trying a dfi ignition module.

Might go check tyre pressures etc but it seems the motor just lacks a bit or torque or else the shift points need to be recalibrated as said above. If only VYs had tip tronic

If youre talking about the 4th plug near the brake booster on the engine harness its for factory LPG to connect to.

Alloytec or gen 3? That's pretty good for an original engine

No annual inspections in WA and its already licensed. More just something that may detract value from the car when I sell it.

Hi all, Just upgraded from a 2002 VX II Commodore to a 2004 VY II Commodore and overall I'm impressed. I even went from a Berlina to an optioned out Executive (ex police) and haven't felt ripped off in terms of comfort and features. Both are Ecotec V6 autos the only difference is the VY runs...

Hi guys, bought a licensed 2004 VZ Acclaim wagon at a bargain price from an auction. Car was sold cheap due to a coolant leak and noisy idler pulleys. Upon hearing the car drive through I immediately knew the issue was water pump. So I took the car home and removed the water pump which was...

Possibly unrelated fault, the clock springs fail on these models causing the SRS warning light to come up. Im actually surprised a roo would deploy the pretensioners in the first place.

You will need to change the entire body harness for it to work and have the Calais BCM matched to your ECU by somebody with a Tech 2 but it will work. Only thing is make sure your Calais loom is the type with the three plugs on top of brake booster for ECU connection as VY series II relocated...
