So I have a 2011 series 2 sv6. Yesterday my partner and his mate attempted to wire the amp up at the back. Rather than use the rear accessory wire, accidentally connected the remote line to the blue ABS wire, now everytime I turn on the car 3 faults come up: ABS FAULT, STABILITY CONTROL FAULT...

Hey guys My partners 2012 sv6 has been making a strange rattling sound as of late when accelerating especially when using it in manual mode which we're trying to figure out its only done 120000kms. Now a new problem is everytime he uses the AC theres a burning plastic smell coming through...

Thank you for all your help guys! My friend and i took off the bumper today. One sensor was badly damaged and snapped and the rubber was split. Bought one from holden and replaced it. All back to normal and working !! Would post a photo but it wont let me. so happy!

Thank you. Ill attempt tomorrow, otherwise going to have to pay through the nose to get it looked at and fixed

Did you take both bumpers off the disconnect one at a time?

Thanks! Attempted half of the video, got the grill off. Almost got my hand completely behind the sensor. Gonna have to attempt the entire bumper tomorrow

Hey everyone, So my parking sensors started just making one long beep in reverse. Would be okay and work as normal once car was turned off. Jumped in one day and parking sensors have stopped. Tried pressing the park assist button but just flashes a few times. No beeps or anything. Any ideas...

Engine light came back on the next day, im still going to give the service a go. Have to start calling asking for quotes. Is there any other problems with these cars I should be aware of? P.s this forum really needs an app, i never get notifications haha

Thank you! Ill give it a go and see how it runs afterwards. Fingers crossed i dont have to fork out 3500 for repairs. Id miss the car a lot for its features haha. Buying a new car is a hassle too. Thanks again!

Mine is definitely the 2007 model. Strange thing happened today, ive been driving a couple of days with the engine light on, turned on the car today and the light for some reason the engine light didnt turn on. Its weird considering how big an issue it is that made it switch on. Is that...

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Im thinking i might get this software update and trade it, last thing i want is to get it fixed then be faced with another problem i love the car but maybe due for a new one. Im not sure what to expect with a trade in. Whats the going price at the moment...

Hey, Advice needed please!!! So... my engine light decided to grace its presence. Twice within a week after clearing the codes. Basically its coming up with the problem that my timing chain is stretching, apparently its a common problem with the car. Ive been quoted $3500-$4000. Is it...

Thanks guys. I tried calling holden re smokers pack and he was clueless as to what it was, said there was only a picture blah blah and ummed and arred on the phone. Might try another dealer. As for the wireless transmitter, its only one long cable I'd have to run from the front to the...

Hi guys, Bought a fancy dash cam front and rear. Have attached the cams, but the cables are annoying. Anyone know an easy way to install them and hide thrm nicely? Dont want to rip up the roof lining if theres another way. Plus, hate that the cig lighter is in the middle of the car...

Anyone?? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Hmm just my luck. Been driving as of late and have now been hearing some kind of "snapping like a rubber band/clunk" noise. Cant even describe the sound. So over it. I have a warranty with the pedders who changed everything just hoping its not the entire strut this time or the rear struts...

Hi guys, Quick question. So I have a 2007 ve calais v... my auto setting for my wipers so they come on when needed works fine, the sensor works fine but they dont go on automatically unless I hold/push the eye of the sensor up against the windscreen. Its like it has come loose so the...

Oh okay, great. Thanks for easing my mind haha :-) its just at another pedders their wheel alignment said itd cost $128 so was wondering whether they only did half. Should I take it back to pedders in a year for them to check or service the d bushes? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Finally took my car to pedders yesterday. He charged $456 but put rubber top plate caps or something instead of nolathane..said he put nolathane on the d bushes on the sway bar and said I have to take it back every year to have the nolathane serviced? If id have known that I would have just got...

Ohh that sounds like what would suit me. Mine are 245/45/18s too! Thanks for all the info guys! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Hi guys, Just getting some stuff done to my car at the moment and the mechanic has said ive got about 5-7000km left on my rear tyres. I only bought the car a month ago. Can anyone recommend some good tyres? Ive been told toyo, Michelin and pirelli. I had michelin xm2 on my old commodore which...

$149 for the set. I got quoted $8 each for the d-bushes from holden. I dont know what to do in terms of nolathane or rubber because I have nothing to compare it to. Ive never driven a car with nolathane. Mechanic doesnt like nolathane where as pedders wont use anything but nolathane. The...

Sorry to be a pain once again everyone. So I took my car to a pedders shop today to get the tech check. They said my top plates of the struts had sagged so thats part of the knocking, also they found the d-bushes in my sway bar need replacing also. So I already knew I had the first problem but...

By the way I bought some genuine holden calais mats and very dissatisfied. The two front have holden logos on them..the passenger has a little bump between the two locks because the holes dont fit the locks properly and the drivers doesnt even have the rubber where your foot sits its just all...

They're such a rip off.. ill just deal without any of it. Haha. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I've booked my car into another mechanic for friday. $268 in total to have both sides fitted with the new plates and bearings and $50 for a wheel alignment afterwards. Yay or nay? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I think the $400 he quoted was for the plate and bearing for both sides to be installed cos he said labour was $107 per hour. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Had a mechanic look at the car today. He took it for a drive and said hes pretty sure its the linked pin or something or the top plate. Put it on a hoist and said it definitely was the bearing top plate. Quoted me $700 for a new strut etc to put it in or $400 for the top plates and two hours...

Ive never heard of fleabay.. what is it? What's the address? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Also thinking I might go to a mechanic and ask them to look cos so many reviews are saying suspension specialists just want the money. Or get a wheel alignment and balance to help improve things Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Might give pedders a call today. The annoying thing is my car still has a valid rwc. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Oh okay great. Sorry to be a pain, but is it really difficult to change it all yourself? Or should I go get it done by a professional.? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

So you went to the peddars in ringwood yourself? I only just bought the car I dont want them to keep the keys off me haha thats scary. How much were you quoted for your problems with the car? Was it the same as mine? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks! been trying to find stuff online about it. Do you have any idea how much itd cost to get fixed in east melbourne or how much theyll charge in general? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Just wondering. .. I hear a clunk n feel it a tiny bit in the steering of my calais v when I go over a bump or turn off a driveway etc. Sometimes also when braking then taking off again. I can only feel it on the right side of the car. Any idea what it could be? Also sometimes when I go over a...

I bought it privately. Id rather just buy the new mats I guess $150 isnt too bad. Also when I push the sat nav button on my display it says no maps blah blah. Does that mean I just need the disc? If so where do I go or how much? Thanks for your help guys. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Okay, thank you. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
