I have the same readings on my temp gauge, I've replaced everything, tho not always for that. Pump, both sensors, cap, coolant, hoses. I lose no coolant. Had the flow checked etc. I read somewhere here that the temperature difference between mid & 3/4 is bugger all, have done nearly 500,000ks...

my crank angle sensor started it's slow death like that.

What oil did you use that got the gains????

Hi all, does anyone know if a towbar from a Wh stato will bolt straight onto a Wk???? Thanks

Hi all, is the setup for pacemaker extractors (y pipe etc, back to the cat) the same for a statesman as for a berlina???

Got it a Jimboomba, South east queensland

It took me a couple of hours & a modified spanner to get mine out, was on the point of cutting myself. I cut a section out of a ring spanner to get it over the pipe. 5/8 I think. I rented a trans jack from the local gear hire place, $35 for the day

Did mine last week. $85 for the kit from global which included o rings for the coolant pipes. took 3/4 hr. O rings go on the ends of the 2 pipes you have to remove to get the tensioner out. shocking design.

Yea, I thought as much. I did a search, some say it's hard , some say not so much.

HI all, The left engine mount in the vs is stuffed, does anyone know if you can do 1 at a time, or do you have to do them as a pair? Also is it easier to do one then the other, or lift them both out at once??? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm replacing the dead auto trans on my vs berlina, I have the Gregory's manual, does anyone have any tips as to what goes wrong when doing this yourself, anything not covered in the manual???? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that, Hazard fuse gone, everything else came back on line when that was fixed

Hi all, I've got a vsII Berlina, the boot wont unlatch with either the button, on either of my keys, or the button in the glove box,. The door locks all work fine & the alarm sets but the indicators aren't flashing when i lock or unlock the doors. I've checked all the fuses & reset the BCM. I...

Thanks, I was. I suspected as much.

HI all, will Vr extractors fit a Vs, O2 sensors etc???

Yes, Thanks for that. I didn't want to fry something important.

Hi all, can anyone tell me if it's safe to back probe the connectors to the PCM with a volt meter? thanks

The Gregorys has instructions for making the tool to hold the harmonic balance ,if you've got the gear to do it.

Some have an antenna array on the rear window, it looks like an extra section of demister.

Hi all, I blew a wiper today & have slight scratching on the screen. Anyone know if or how to get it out, polish of some sort perhaps???? Thanks in advance.

You might want to check the coil packs, cured mine when i replaced the dodgy one.

Lash out on a gregorys or a haynes manual if your gunna DIY. They wont tell u everything but they'll give you the basics. you can make a brace for the harmonic balancer but your gunna need a puller. a cheepy fron supa chep will do it.

Dunno what type it is, have towed fiber-glass boats, trailers full of sand & heaps of other +1.5 tonne stuff with no ill affects.

C how this goes

Got a couple of photos. how'd you get them up?????

I've got the same one you pictured. The long bit goes under the carpet in the boot, Drill holes to suit. The tow bar part goes under the car where the holes come out. Mind the fuel tank. You should have a couple of spacers for the long bolts at the back to go through the rear chassis.

Thanks. Yes. The 6hdd has smaller cooler lines/coupler than the 7hdd, I'm hoping the connection with the gearcase is the same size.

Hi again. Has anyone swapped a hdd7 for a hdd6, my concern is the coolant coupler. Will the part of the coupler that screws into the housing swap over or are the threads different?

Thanks Guys. the one i have is a 7Hdd in a series 2, needs replacing. Have been told they are the same but have been caught before with things like electrical connections not matching

Hi all. Does anyone know what, if at all, is the difference between a 7HDD transmision & a 6HDD ?????

Thanks, Thats pretty much what I'm thinking, threw it out to the forum in a last ditch hope to save the $$$$$$
