You are wasting your time looking at or changing items that will affect multiple cylinders on the engine because you only have the misfire on cyl 6. So that is the cyl you have to concentrate on. If everything is now new on the ignition side on that cylinder 6 you need to look at the other...

OK then write to GMH and ask them about the actual materials used on the specific parts of interest on your car. None of the leather in your car is really what leather sellers regard as genuine leather. It's the manufactured bonded leather. Look it up and you can see how it is made. It is a...

Read your GMH warranty terms and conditions. The Holden dealers are designated by GMH for warranty work. You must work through the dealer service network for warranty claims.

Not necessarily and it could have been changed previously. In any event changing the bank 2 sensor is not going to solve the issue with the Bank 1 sensor trouble code. If the B2 sensor was bad there would also be a trouble code generated for it and there is not.

Looks like the sensor might not be working and if it is new then suspect the wiring to the sensor. But you need to check the voltage with a proper tool first. The best way to observe O2 sensor output voltage changes is with a Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO). A scope will display the sensor...

No it is not correct if you plan on using a 275 or 285 tyre on the rear and you don't want to roll the rear guards. 1. Rear 20 x 10 you need at least a 45p offset if you fit a 275 30 20 rear tyre on that. Otherwise it will rub with sufficient suspension movement and you will have to roll the...

Don't waste your time with after market seats for an old road registered vehicle. The seats and all the fittings will have to be ADR compliant and you will need to get an engineering certification on the fitment to keep the car legal for registration. It's not worth the hassle for an old road...

I should add that you are going to have to declare the brake upgrade to your insurer if you go ahead with it because it is a vehicle modification that requires disclosure under most comprehensive car insurance policies. . I would definitely NOT do a DIY job on this but have it done by a...

I am not sure what you are reading but I don't believe you are correct. But there is a little bit of ambiguity in the applicable rules but it's not that complicated. However: 1. Provided the brake calipers you fit are exactly those fitted to the VF redline; and 2. Provided that all other...

Very high km car. Have the ignition barrel unit changed if it is still possible to buy a new one for the VZ. I assume they are still available.

1. Carefully remove failed operator from driver’s seat and permanently place on child booster seat in left rear passenger seat. Firmly strap in and torque to 10 nm +/- 2.5 nm. Place part number 20799 in mouth and leave in place until whining noise develops. Part number...

Well I think the Holden website, like other manufacturer sites, is a rather good source of pricing information on their own products which is one reason it is there for customers.

Well you should get your facts correct first Pablito. The Calais V wagon is not selling for $62000 except in your dreams and when you quote prices you need to make it clear if on road costs are included because they run into thousands. The Holden website lists (15 April) the New 2018 Calais V...

What happens if you move from Drive to neutral, leave it in neutral for 5 to 10 seconds and then select Reverse, or do the opposite with a similar delay in neutral . Does it still stall?

1. Just loosen the bolts which secure the plastic tray with your socket set. 2. Use an adaptor to fit the socket to the end of a cordless drill and spin the bolts off one by one.. It's very quick. 3. Refitting. Just carefully locate each bolt by hand with a few turns and then spin them in...

You don't void your Manufacturer warranty on the entire vehicle by making an unapproved modification to the vehicle. What you do is to limit your warranty cover on any component that fails or is damaged as a consequence of you making that modification. Read the terms of your Holden warranty...

From what you have said you have both bank 1 and bank 2 reading about +20 % LTFT and you have confirmed no vacuum leaks. I would not be replacing the upstream 02 sensors because there is every indication that they are both functioning normally. In any event your scan tool can be used to check...

I assume he just means an additional service on the vehicle in addition to the stock log book services. It's probably little more than an oil and filter change, under hood inspection to check other fluid levels and an underbody inspection which you can have done anywhere. The dealer must be...

There was no knock before and there should be no knock now with just a spring change especially in your car with only 65000 kms and normal usage I assume. Most owners will never change a front strut up to 100000 kms unless they do an upgrade. The strut mount bushes should be OK - fairly low Kms...

1. Stay away from budget insurance companies because when you make a claim is when you suffer the pain. 2. There are a couple of ways you can reduce the premium with shannons you should get a quote on. a. Drop the agreed value to $8000 or so which is still much better than the others...

The OE pads are quiet and tend to be low dust. If you are getting a lot of dust with OE pads after a few days check that the pads are not dragging on the rotors. The caliper slide pins might need cleaning up and re-lubing. Remsa make a very good pad to fit commodores but they tend to produce...

The difference in price is worth it for the 95 octane. You can always run the occasional half tank of 91 to save a bit if you need to or there is no 95 available at the Servo when you need it. The V6 engines in the VEs run well on 95. Keep the 91 to run your garden tools.

1. The oil light s flickering because the oil pressure - at least at idle- is below the minimum required for engine lubrication. So it will be sitting under 10 psi. 2. The most likely cause of this is a very worn engine - especially one with over 400000 kms - which I would bet has only had the...

The left side of the car - just what can be seen in the image - is a mess. At least the 2 doors and the rear quarter panel need to be completely repainted professionally if you wanted the car to look half decent. The left rear door also has a deep scratch and most of the paint chipped off...

The 225/65/17 tyre is much larger in diameter by 80 mm - by 12.42%. So the tyre will extend into the wheel well by + 40 mm and the suspension will still allow the same amount of travel assuming it is stock height. I also doubt the local regulations in NZE on tyre substitutions would allow...

In basic terms, the speedo of the car is accurate (within whatever tolerance is set by the manufacturer ex factory) with the diameter of the stock tyres fitted. Therefore if you change the diameter of the tyres fitted compared to the stock size by a significant figure the speedo will be...

How could we tell without seeing the wheel. If you go to the Holmart site they have a genuine HSVi Inflection wheel for sale. If what you are looking at is identical in all details then it will be a genuine product not some copy. Copies very frequently have detailed variations from the...

1. Yes the vehicle speed difference at a given RPM from the base stock 3.08 diff is 25% (lower) once the 4.11 is fitted. 2. The tyres only make a marginal difference of just 2% because of the larger diameter tyre with the 19 inch size fitted .......... Stock VP Executive: tyre 185 75 14...

1. Yes agree with Matt. Get a mobile mechanic out to where the car is and have him check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. Either that or have the car towed to a workshop that can put the mechanical gauge on it to check. Obviously check the oil level in the sump. 2. If the oil...

I replaced the stock front rotors on my VE with DBA T2s at about 15000 kms from new and they did improve braking performance significantly. Hopefully you will get the same result. I used European Remsa brake pads as well but these do tend to produce significantly more dust that the stock pads...

1. If your 2016 V6 engine is performing like that at idle you have a misfire in one or multiple cylinders and possibly a random misfire across various cylinders. 2. Not enough information. If you have a 2016 with low kms it is still under new car warranty. If the dealership was able on your...

This does not make sense at least for the fitment you propose on your car with the HSV1 wheels and 245 35 20 tyres. The offset of wheels used on the stock Calais (18 x 8 inch, 48p offset, 245 45 18 tyres ) and Calais V (8 x 19 inch, 48p offset, 245 40 19 tyres) is exactly the same as the...

The Sv6 would have been a better buy. It also has slightly wider tyres and traction control. However the real basic problem you have is the tyres on the car. You can at great expense fit an LSD but if you run low quality, old or worn tyres on your car the LSD won't help you much. Those 4...

The stock tyres on the VN were 185 75 14 , 634 mm diameter tyre , 14 x 6 inch wheel On those 16 x 7 inch Commodore stock wheels you now have (which should be the same offset as the stock VN wheels) I would use a tyre -- 205 55 16. 632 mm diameter . Typically 91 load rating in that size...

The fuel filter is an integrated part of the fuel pump assembly and the FP assembly sits in your fuel tank. It's the same design used in most vehicles now. The filter is a long life unit and not a serviceable item as it was in earlier cars (to VZ) with discreet replaceable fuel filters clamped...

Missing Parts? I had a VH SLE 5.0 V8 auto in all white with the blue interior and all factory options fitted. From what I can see of the interior photo of your car: 1. The only missing item from the entire dash is the trip computer thingy 2. The radio is not original from what I can see and...

With respect to this latest mandatory recall there is no updated vehicle list yet available apparently. I have seen reports that Federal authorities have gone to the manufacturers and asked them to supply vehicle details on the additionally affected vehicles and the reports indicated that this...

I would expect to pay a higher premium on an R8 and what you are trying to do here is describe your car as something it is not to get a lower premium. If it's a HSV Clubsprt R8 you need to get it insured as that because its a specific model . If you don't like the market value they attach to...

You won't get $5000 for a 2007 Omega with 217-218000 kms on it from an astute buyer. If it has a few scratches and dents as you say it is not "immaculate" either. Quite hard to sell a car like this privately and a dealer will give you very little on a trade in because they will more than...
