Check for fault codes P0008, P0009, P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, all relate to a correlation error between the cam postion and crank position due to elongation of the chain links. Common problem for VZ, VE, Rodeo and Captiva running early Allotec engines. Most workshops will charge close to...

had some lying around, working at a holden dealership has its perks. PM me if you want to purchase and i will post them to you.

I have some brand new genuine seals if you cant find any.

If it misses at idle you can try unplugging each coil individually to trace which cylinder is misfiring, you should notice a difference in engine revs and tone when each coil is unplugged, if there isnt a difference then you will know which cylinder is misfiring. Then check the sparkplug or even...

Power train indicates a fault logged in the power train (engine control module or trans control module) You will need hook up a scan tool to see what DTC (diagnostic trouble code) has logged and you will find your problem.

disconnecting the battery should allow you to re enter the pin.

genuine front castor rod bushes are very pricey, better off going with a nolathane kit.

Thinking of putting in for sale section, anyone wish to buy it? Offers?

put a v8 in it, or buy a SS

The speedo calibration is in the engine ECU, the calibration may be out depending on what size wheels and tyres are fitted. Holdens can re-program the ecu to different tyre wheel and tyre sizes but won't be covered under warranty. Also the is always gonna be a difference between gps speed...

Was handed this engine cover by a mate who worked in a plastics moulding factory who made engine covers for holdens. He was told it was a prototype cover for the monaro's. Its for a Gen 3 and is a clear perspexs red. Has genuine part numbers stamped on it with all the genuine markings...

I'm guessing the window regulator is broken, they have white clips on the regulator arms which slide in the window guides, common problem where these clips break off and the arm hits the bottom of the window. Take the door trim off to have a look.

surely someone wants to do a brake upgrade!

Not sure who could take it to up your way, any workshop could fix it. Get some quotes and see how you go.

May pay to have the thermostat replaced and coolant flush before the long trip. Might also be a temp sensor fault.

The PCV hose usually split at the throttle body or at the Y connection at the back of the intake. Replacing the hose is pretty simple, or if its only split at the throttle body you can cut off the split hose and fit a piece hose about 1inch long of better quality, if its not fixed it can put...

They obviously didn't fit a steering shudder hose kit. The vy's did have a recall on the power steering cooler hoses as they wouldn't stop leaking due to the crappy clamps the factory used, maybe they did that?

There is a handle adjustment under the boot of the handle, you'll need a deep 10mm socket and wind it down, this tightens the cable to the handle. Should be around the 6-7 clicks. If you've tightened the handle and it still doesn't hold then it will require adjusting at the rear handbrake...

Just some stuff i have aquired over the years. Super super low springs to fit vt-vz sedan. just been powdercoated, sit about 3inches below standard. $200 set HSV brake rotors off a VY Clubsport. Have just been machined, plenty of meat still on them, very sexy discs. 330mm, 31.44mm...

they jam up due to dust and dirt getting into the door and jamming up the actuator, there is a plastic weather cover behind the door trim but it doesn't protect the parts inside the door. I fitted one today, quoted 200 including part and labour. Takes about 20 to 30min if you know what you're...

the beep is indicating that one of the doors isn't locked, common problem on vy to vz with lock actuators jamming. From memory they're around $130 mark, but don't hold me to it.

ps There isn't any specific way to bleed the system, if its not noisey then it shouldn't need bleeding, if the fluid was pink and had lots of little bubbles in then it'd need doing. Here's a pic of where the hose sits behind the fans, the hose then runs under the oil filter towards the rack...

My guess is the door lock actuator jammed.

VY and VZ have had problems with the front springs rub on the corner of the strut spring seat, check for wear marks on the second to bottom coil on the inside edge.

so you've got the pipe which goes from the rack to the pump? and runs across the bar behind the bottom of the thermo fans? May be air in the power steering fluid, is the fluid level ok? Bubbles in the oil? Is the pump noisy?

back of the handle adjustment with a deep 10mm socket and ratchet. remove the rear calipers and discs, clean off all the dust on the shoes. The adjuster is at the bottom of the shoes and use a flat blade screw driver to wind out the adjuster, won't need to be much, a few full turns. Slide the...

Is it 900 for the total bill? Take into account for labour, recovery of the gas, seals, new gas, they may have quoted for time to remove the front bumper to replace the reciever dryer.

Check the purge hose under the throttle body.

Check the air con drain tube for any blockages, its a rubber tube up on the trans tunnel, can get to it from underneath and poke up a piece of wire like a coathanger. But sure does sound like heater core, which means dash out.

Purge hose under the throttle body coming off is more than a common fault on the ecotecs.

When all the lights come on and stay on its due to a bad earth inside the ABS ecu, can check this by wriggling the main harness on the side of the module and see if the lights go out. If you find this to be the problem, only buy the ecu part as you won't need the part where all the pipes go and...

Remove a screw up underneath the compartment under the radio and then the trim just rips up, its clipped in but the clips can be quite tough, the switch can easily be replaced once its out.

there is a handle adjustment and a lining adjustment, the handle adjustment is next to the handle behind the boot, you will need a deep 10mm socket Lining adjustment you will need to remove the rear discs and use a flat blade screw driver to turn the teethed wheel to wind out the adjuster.

5L is engine out as the crank has to be taken out to fit the seal, may be the distributer seal and oil running down.

Those clips are used for high pressure fuel line removal, i'm pretty sure those lines are a fixed anyway, where did you get that picture from? A holden program called SIP? might be easier to undo the line from tha radiator if you wanna do a flush.

What type of dash? ss, omega, calias, berlina? What inparticular do you want to remove?
