does the clicking get faster as you increase speed? Even marginally? Yes, I'd be removing the rear cover after draining the fluid and running a magnet around inside. If nothing appears amiss inside, put the cover back on and replace the oil and I would highly recommend adding LSD friction...

The 2 relays you'll want to check or replace are called the blower inhibit relay and the other is the blower fan relay. They are both inside the care. The blower inhibit relay is located at the top right of the fuse/relay panel below and to the right of the steering wheel. Put the steering wheel...

best bet is to get the tailshaft and the whole diff carrier etc from a vy. The pinion flange on the VX/VY diffs is triangular in shape and mates to the tail shaft through a rubber 'donut' with six holes - three for the pinion flange and the other three for the tailshaft flange. You will need a...

I had a similar issue with my VXII berlina - turned out to be engine mounts. If you do them too, one side is really easy, the other side is really easy once you remove the air con compressor ;-)

ABS sensors are on the output shafts of the diff i.e. in real close to the diff - not out at the wheels.

Just fixed the same problem with my VXII Berlina. Very common problem - almost sure to be the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Got a new one off ebay and fitted it - then the interesting bit. The fault code is stored in the computer and requires re-setting. I own a scan tool which can...

I'm thinkin' the OP should stop taking his Nissan tiida to holden for servicing.. peace...

Its fairly normal for shocks to make an air squishy noise if they are operated rapidly like going a speed bump will do. When the valve bodies give up the ghost they rattle and then you find that the shocks don't work properly. Easy to test - get the car on a hard level surface, lean heavily and...

Thanks for the reply GTP 85 Its definitely 3.08. I got a second one from the wreckers from a VY - also 3.08 - both diffs have the code 'FL' on the sticker and the part numbers 92085132 on them. The coupling is the rubber donut. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 3.07s were only used in supercharged...

I've got a Feb 02 build Berlina sedan v6 naturally aspirated auto and I'm rebuilding my diff. It is a 3.08 ratio according to the sticker on the diff. I don't know if it is an M76, an M78 or an M80 or what it should have had from factory. Holden changed my diff three times under warranty so what...

Every one I've been in does it. Mine doesn't anymore :-) I fixed it by pulling the console out - did the dash as well but that's another story... and acquired a roll of adhesive-backed foam from bunnings - about 6 bucks and went mad with it and some zippy ties. Anything that looked like it moved...

I can't "actually" post the iso file here as it is 679MB in size and would put the owners of this forum in a difficult legal position. I ain't gonna do that... PM me and I can point you to where it is available to download totally free, totally illegally and where it is up to you to decide if...

PM me I can direct you to the genuine holden service CD

My VXII has both lines coming out the bottom of the cooler. If you are standing where the engine is and looking towards the front of the car at the radiator, the line on the left is the line taking hot fluid TO the cooler and is called the return line. The line on the right sends cooled fluid to...

Yes, the line going from the cooler back to the transmission has a rubber section. It is on the right hand side.

low brake pad indicator should really only be heard / felt when brakes are applied but stranger things have happened. Have you checked to see if the dust cover is damaged and contacting the back of the disc? Other than that, as has been said, could be CV's - they are common enough - particularly...

Yep, couldn't agree more. The LSD will most likely be 3.07 - bee's willy different to the open wheeler but yep, perfectly set up for the task. If you went to a six speed manual, maybe different story but v6 auto leave it as it is.

Just did this on my VX berlina, no big hassle really, just be real careful undoing the nut that holds the strut together - best to use spring compressors if you can - if that isn't an option, get someone to lean down heavily on the strut to compress it as you undo the nut then warn them when it...

Might be worth mentioning too that another way to get most of the oil out - in addition to the already posted instructions ie removing the hose, running the engine and letting the pump do the work until it spits, what we do at work after that is hook up an external hand pump to the filler tube...

Maybe someone else more knowlegable than me could offer a better explanation than this, but I would first question what speed you are doing when you downshift. The transmission has a torque converter lockup clutch which is operated by the PCM at various speeds. I have the official holden tech CD...

hmmmm... I had the EXACT same issue with my VXII berlina. I mean, IDENTICAL. Off the gas, coasting, 60 KMh clunking coming from the diff. It has done this since the car was under warranty and holden replaced my diff no less than 3 times to try and fix this with no success. I put up with it for...

definitely bum programming on ya key head. You don't need tech2 to program VX key heads either. My bro in law runs a locksmith business and he has done several new keys for my VXII berlina with no dramas.

I just bought one from off ebay. Warwick is the man, he is in Toongabbie NSW. ebay ID is steering_solutions. He supplies you a replacement reco'd rack and you pay a $150 deposit - added to the postage. He gives you a TNT con note to return your bung rack to him and he refunds you the $150 when...

All good - found it. It is not the heater vacuum hose - my bad. Was looking at the wrong hose. I will photograph it to show clearly what it is. It is really easy to remove off the throttle body but the other end is very hard to see and even harder to refit the hose into if you happen to pull it...

Hey Just done the valley gasket replacement job on my standard v6, cleaned the plenum, manifold, throttle body etc and got it all back together nicely EXCEPT for one hose that comes off the bottom of the throttle body - not the PCV hose which comes in the side of the throttle body. It is a...

Just found this thread again - I was the OP and for some reason I never saw any of the replies. I haven't done anything about it yet - just got it to hold in a happy medium for both of us and put it on the very long to-do list. The pic that was posted is a bit hard to tell if it is the same part...

Hi My VXII Berlina is really getting on my nerves. The ride is so rough and harsh I feel every little imperfection and I don't want to because I've got some health issues. The car is stock in every respect, the shocks were replaced about 3 years ago and they are monroe gas shocks front and...

Does anyone have a part number - either for a LED or narva bulb? I have one blown in my c/c panel as well and if I'm going to the trouble of pulling my dash apart, reckon it would make sense to replace all of them cause' they're all the same age and prolly likely to start poppin' one by one...

My VXII berlina sedan has threaded lower control arms on both sides at the rear. They are a non-standard thread so don't bother trying to get a new bolt from bunnings if you happen to stuff the existing one getting it out. Best option is to either to drill out the control arm and fit a standard...

Hi folks Been having niggly probs with m' VXII Berlina V6 sedan over a long time. Lots of posts I've read, people are saying that under gentle accelaration around 80kph they are getting a jerking through the car like its missing or slipping a gear. Lots of replies saying check plugs, leads...

Hi Anyone know about replacing the plastic (What's with that, Holden?) thingy....I have no idea what to call them... that the motor screws in and out of to raise / lower the seat? Mine is all chewed out and my wife who is quite short needs to raise the seat right up when she drives the car...

Hi Has anyone ever had to replace a rear control arm? (part no. 9209 5194) Just wondering what is involved, is it a royal pain in the posterior to do with limited workshop facilities etc.. ALSO.... Does anyone know of any reason why the lower shock bolt thread would bind up inside...

Hi I've had a rear-end knocking noise in my VXII berlina for years. Holden replaced the diff 4 times under warranty thinking it was that but it did not fix the problem. New shocks were fitted - no change. About a month ago the rear right shock started making horrible noises - turned out the...
