More than likely one of the sensors is on its way out. Best to take to a mechanic and see which fault code /s is being logged.

From what I've gathered, if only the ABS light is showing then more likely a sensor has come lose / failed. For the ABS unit to start failing / have failed the engine, abs, traction control lights will display intermittently (On / Off) due to a data bus error. I believe disconnecting /...

ABS Replacement I've decided to spend the $800 and replace the faulty ABS module with a brand new one. I just hope this is the problem and that the lights don't come on again 2 months down the track...

After driving the car for 20 minutes, the ABS and Traction controls lights came on again but only for a split second causing the car to jolt. I have since purchased a working ABS module of eBay for $100. ABS will be getting installed within the next 2 weeks. Would any mechanics have any...

Took the car to the mechanic's today to see which error codes and been logged. After the multiple error codes had been cleared, the car was taken for drive and behold, the lights came on again. Once again the error codes were cleared and I asked the mechanic to check all the earth leads /...

After driving my car for 10 minutes today, the warning lights for abs, engine, traction control and airbag lights lit up. After letting it rest for half the day, started it back up and after 10 minutes of driving, the same warning lights re-appeared. I know I have a power steering leak but I...

I used to have this problem with my VX SS S1. Took the car to a diff specialist and was told that the diff would need to be re-built ($1400). Took the car to another place and after inspecting the diff and driveline, only a minor part had to be replaced for $130 (looks like a horseshoe and is...

Hey All, Was wondering if a HSV VU 3 Window cluster will fit into a VX SS. If so, will I need to make any changes to the wiring loom / connectors?

A level 3 cluster will be included but it yet to be fitted.

I meant to say full service which effectively means if you were to find any faults e.g. oil leaks etc, I would cover the repairs. The vehicle is nearly due for its 5000K service but I hardly drive it due to my new ride.

Hey All, I recently discovered that the cigarette lighter is not supplying power after trying to connect my TomTom. I have checked the fuse and that is still in tact. I disconnected the power unit and tested the connector but there is no power there. Any suggestions???

Just had the car looked over today. There was a bit of free play. Apparently the diff requires a overhaul and the joints need to be replaced. Was quoted $1300 all up. Also, as the car is lowered, the joints will wear out a lot quicker than usual. Is that the case?

Hey All, I've searched through the forums and have a general idea of what could be causing the clunk / surge in my VX SS but before I take it to a Drivetrain Specialist, I thought I would get more opinions. When shifting between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, there is a clunk which appears to be...

For $3500, I would have to remove the rims, audio equipment, full service, car detailing and rego. As Rego has been paid for, I would be looking for $3750

Odometer Recalibration After speaking to the 3rd company party, they have now come back stating that they may not be able reset the odometer to the original dash. On top of that, they reckon it could take 3 days to reset it and they might require the assistance from another party to reset it...

Dash Fitted Fitted the dash this afternoon and have to say it looks really good. The only slight exception is the light which slightly bleeds around the RPM and Speed Needles.

These are the quotes I received to re-calibrate the dash. 1) $140 from Holden to reset everything except the odometer 2) $181 to match the new odometer to the old one (3rd party company)

Are there any differences between the VX Cluster and the VX SS Cluster? If not, is it as simple as getting Holden to re-calibrate the dash? At the time, I couldn't find a 3 window dash on eBay and since some the globes in the dash / heater control had blown, i thought it would be better to...

I recently purchased the below items from eBay. I assume that it would be a straight switch over and then taking the car to Holden to match the new odometers reading to the old one? Dash Cluster Hazard, Trip and Headlight Switch Heater Control

Hi All, I'm looking at buying a 2001 VX SS and was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of. My mate mentioned that their were engine problems with the earlier series. Any feedback would be much appreciated. :)

I think you have the same problem that I did a while back. Mine idled at around 550 and when put into any gear, the revs would either drop so low to the point that even with the accelerator pedal flat to the floor it could only reach max 50K/H or just stall. It turned out to be the DFI module...

I had the same problem on a VN that I was selling. It would rev out out to around 4000RPM and then a pop could be heard from the engine bay. The only other difference was that mine had a rough idle and no power when putting it into gear. It turned out to the DFI module so I replaced it with a...

VS S2 Exec I have VS S2 executive and that has an airbag because when you pull down the drivers visor, its mentions about the airbag and when it need to serviced. Also the horn has two thumb spots (Be pretty funny if you thumped the horn in the center of the steering wheel like standard and...

Could be the coil pack
