    VZ wheel stud spacing

    Yesterday i destroyed 2 bridgestone tyres on 16 inch alloys.VZ, is there any chance that 17 inch alloys off a 2007 Volvo XC90 all wheel drive would bolt on? I ask because I don't know but the 17 inch tyres are new still have the injection molding tips have not worn off the tread

    VZ 2008 wagon aerial

    Just to clear up the VZ mystery, I own a 04/07/2007 VZ Commodore wagon. The sedans were discontinued in 2006 but the wagon and ute were produced in 2007. Mine is just the basic executive with factory LPG. Goes like a frightened rabbit and I smile when I see stupid petrol prices as high as $1:64...

    Wagon Weathershields

    Hi all. Not just to be different but I own both VZ sedan and VZ wagon. The top of the rear doors on the wagon is very different compared to the top of the rear doors on the sedan. Unlikely that one size fits all as the top of the wagon door is bigger and more square than the sedan one.

    what kilowatts is my 3.6 alloytech

    Thanks for the time and effort put in by JC members for the useful info re engine id. Appreciated. I will put the Killer Wasp info on the back burner for now. We have very similar insects in Oz. I know this as I have run into them in the Oz bush. Not fun. Of course my 2006 VZ may just have an...

    what kilowatts is my 3.6 alloytech

    I recently bought an April 2007 VZ Commodore wagon with factory LPG injection. Without paying a tech $$$s, how do I know what power it is producing, ie how to identify what engine is in it? (V6 Alloytech I know) but are there any identifiers to tell me 175kw, 190kw or what? All I can say just...

    Premium Fuel For VZ

    Regardless of the doubters, I bought a 2007 VZ wagon recently and I am convinced that it was my best car purchase to date. Up until yesterday I was just happy with its performance. By the way, it was built in 2007 with factory lpg injection. Coming back from Lithgow along Bells Line of road I...

    what kilowatts is my 3.6 alloytech

    ant797, thanks for the reply but now I am a little more confused as the site you sent me to says that my 3.6 alloytech is 190kw. I give up now.

    what kilowatts is my 3.6 alloytech

    I own a 2007 VZ 3.6 alloytech wagon. How do I tell if it is 180 or 185 kw? If it makes any diff, it has factory injected LPG.

    VZ wont start

    first thing I would look at is the little metal ring around the ignition switch and the silver knob that sticks out of the key head. They only need to be a little grubby and that causes problems like yours. Is your car auto or manual shift. If auto, there is a switch on the near side of the box...

    Dual horns VZ

    I own a 2006 VZ sedan and it has factory dual horns (sound great). I have been under the earlier Commodores (VTs) and where they did not have dual horns, the wiring was there for the second horn, so I would say your problems are solved. Just look at the subframe rail on the passenger side, not...

    Vz crewman v6 fuel economy

    Tyres at 41psi as per the owners manual,get a wheel alignment so tyres are not dragging sideways. do not forget that the rear tyres also need to be in alignment, same reason. Look well ahead so you do not have to come to a screetching halt at every set of traffic lights. This will place you well...

    VF Bull Bar fit to VZ?

    chrisp, the thought of selling the VZ, while attractive, does not work for me as I am a 75 yr old man receiving a Centrelink pension of not much. Cheap VF's run to around four times + what I paid for my VZ and I would be running the same motor and trans. I do not mind spending a few hundred $'s...

    VZ 2nd hand / recondition engine

    shueardm:- What he said, or both. I am 75 years old now and I am convinced that a lot of mechanics seem to be wanting to write their own cheques, and it gets worse as I get older. My daughter had to pay a mechanic @1100 for a new thermostat in a VZ V6 Commodore. There are methods for doing this...

    Headlights

    I am not parting with them but I bought a new pair of ceramic plugs for my VZ a little while back and I can't think of a better way of beating cooked headlight plugs. Main cause of the plugs over heating is just high resistance in the plug to bulb connection.

    External power rear view mirrors have both stopped working

    Title says it all. Both of my external power mirrors have stopped working. I am thinking relay or similar but I have no idea where said relay might be found. I have several 12 volt x 30amp relays so that should not be a problem. Plus I have a 60 watt soldering iron and lots of solder. Hmmmmmm

    VZ UTE WON'T START AFTER LAID UP FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS

    When you park up a Commodore, you should start and run it for 15 or 20 minutes every few days. They use power and will flatten a battery in 12 weeks or less. As to not starting, do you listen to hear the fuel pump working when you turn the ignition on? If no sound of working fuel pump then try...

    LS2 water pump dying?

    If the radiator cap is cool but coolant is bubbly, I would suspect a blown head gasket. Not good news, I know but radiator place can confirm this. They have a device that registers fuel/air mix in your radiator.

    Draining 100% of engine coolant

    Keesh, have you ever tasted straight/diluted coolant? I have not and I have no desire to do so. Greenacc, I want to remove all of the old coolant for 1 reason. As I said in another post, I have owned about 6 VT's and I do not think any of them ever had a decent coolant system cleanout. My...

    How many km's are people getting around town from a full tank in their auto VZ 175

    I have owned about 6 VTs and they all had 75 litre tanks, wagons and sedans. As to fuel economy, around town about 12 litres per 100Ks, on a trip (Sydney to Brisbane, family) 7 to 8l per 100Ks. I am mystified as to your 63-litre fuel capacity as all the Commodores, VT, VX, VY AND VZ, wagons and...
