Is brake cleaner ok to use? And how should you clean your maf excatly? Thing is I'm still getting 500km a tank

Anyone?? Got the live data with it being in CL closed loop using HO2S heated o2 sensors and fuel trims looking like St bank 1 {-2.34%} Lt bank 1 {-25%} St bank 2 {-1.57%} Lt bank 2 {-20.31%} Ignition timing 31.5 degrees Intake air temp 15 degrees Mad air flow 25.12g/sec Throttle...

Ve alloytec throwing up code p2178 too rich off idle. Anyone got any ideas or had the same issue? Always happens when on cruise control on freeway

So I think it's adapted the fuel trims by itself hasn't happened In the last 2 daya

So it still happens but is a lot better, does the mixture adaptions need to be reset due to the unmetered air?? Anyone got any info on the fault code p068 throttle actuator control bank 1 cheers again

So I had enough and called a friend with a scan tool from snap on, plugged it in read the codes, there was a code for TAC or something he had a look around and bingo the breather hose from the air flow to the rocker cover was off on the rocker cover end, my fuel consumption was high my idle was...

I'm hoping it's the starter motor solenoid sticking

It's got me stumped, and I was thinking it was the pressure reg in the fuel pump ill book it in to holden and see what they say I guess

What is the actual issue? The timing chain stretched? And I had it in for the software update about 3 months ago.

http://youtu.be/-nBy0bLliDc If you could have a look that would be good

Ok will do let me no if yours was similar il post it soon

Did you get a code?? And was yours intermittent on starting?? I have a video but unsure how to upload

Just changed the whole fuel pump assembly and problem still persists Anyone shed some light??

So I did it all pretty easy, problem still persists however, pretty annoyed but that's life I guess, anyone else have any idea what it could be???

Ok I'm replacing the whole unit hopefully takes me no longer then 30-40 minutes cheers for your help I'll update how I go

Can't i just replace the whole unit as it is all one isn't it, filter pump pressure reg assembly

Good, iv got low fuel pressure on start up and intermittent long crank due to the fuel pressure valve on the pump, so I'm hoping replacing this fixes it.

But the pump is obviously on the drivers side is that correct?

Guess your talking about this? Will a razor get this off ok? And is there any special tools needed to unlock the sender from the tank?

Anyone got a quick how to on removing the sender pump MRA unit in the fuel tank on a ve v6 omega sedan, would be much appreciated, cheers

Anyone got any further advice??

Yes an obdII scanner and iv tried 2 and both say "no faults stored"

It goes away I think because it's low fuel pressure and as soon as it starts its fine again and pulls the light off cos it's all working fine again

Anyone at all???

So lucky enough a Holden tech walked into my workshop and I grabbed him to get his thoughts, his adamant and certain (correct me if I'm wrong) it's the MRA fuel pump and sender assembly bleeding down and having low fuel pressure on start up once it's been sitting there for a bit, can anyone else...

No one got any idea or similar issue

Chain a simple search would of said that and the issues they have stretching

Hi guys just wondering if anyone has experiences the same issues. I have an 07 ve v and it has had the check engine light for the timing chains they have carried out the software version check roughly 5-6 months ago and it hasn't come back on. How ever when starting the car once it's been...

So just did the job, for anyone wondering. They are e14 female torx, bit hard to get a ratchet in so I used an 11mm ring spanner, 2 bolts for starter. A 13mm for the battery positive and the clip for activation wire, it took me 45 minutes and I am a qualified mechanic also the vehicle was very...

It's a LE0 alloytec v6

Anyone got an answer to this?? Doing one for a mate this weekend

My friend had an omega, he bought the jerlina inserts and used speed clips to attach them with a self tapping screw on the back

Water pump or the 2 seals where the coolant filler neck bolts to the timing cover. I would do all 3 but that's just me.

A sensor in the sump, well lets think why would a sensor be going in the sump or the possibility of what it could be sensing, well there's oil in the sump, and the car needs to sense when it's to low, or temperature, or both. So oil level/temp sensor, maybe pull it out next service and see if...

Probably the dipstick tube, and it hasn't sealed properly on re-assembly

Maybe some vas on the threads??

Plasti dip Matt black I'm keen to try. Anyone else had success with this

Lol wouldn't lower it much at all I would think not even noticeable. My advice would be maybe use those shocks cos they are reasonably new n get some lower springs to suit your desire, if your wanting to drop 30mm or 50 mm

I got one from auto barn. M16x2 - 1:8npt
