I'd try and get the whole engine + ECU if you can. Here are some differences I know of between the S/C V6 and the NA V6. - Supercharger + LIM (Obviously) - Heads - Compression ratio - Fuel injectors - Balance shaft and flex plate - Because of the slightly beefier internals (con rods...

Here in Victoria P platers cannot drive a supercharged SPac commodore because it is marketed as a sports variant, therefore the only supercharged commodores p platers can drive in vic are Calais' and Statesman's. This is why I bought a Calais, I am on my P's. Luckily for you, NSW is a bit more...

If you have the service reminder (Image below) It can be reset with the following procedure. - With ignition turned off - Hold down the up and down arrows on the trip computer, at the same time turn the ignition on (no need to start) - The service reset screen will beep and appear...

If by "Service" you mean the service reminder (Image below) It can be reset with the following procedure. - With ignition turned off - Hold down the up and down arrows on the trip computer, at the same time turn the ignition on (no need to start) - The service reset screen will beep...

It looks like pin 2 and 3 of the 4 pin wiring harness to the fuel pump is what you're after. Attached is an image depicting the test procedure for the fuel sender. Resistance information is also included.

I haven't done it, but I'm pretty sure you need to drop the tank to get to the fuel pump assembly. You can get a workshop manual from here: http://www.allcarmanuals.com/factory-service-manual-80-Holden-Commodore-VY.html Page 302 of the PDF starts the fuel tank section. (Or page 304 if you use...

Just FYI, you shouldn't empty the tank completely. Even when running on LPG your car still uses petrol in some instances. When under extreme load and when starting. I'm pretty sure I read that in the owners manual. I suppose you could pull the plug for the sender unit, but the cluster will...

My car does this when my fuel gauge reaches just below full. I get the tone and the screen says "Fuel Gauge Error Contact Retailer" also my fuel gauge will drop to empty, but then a split second later the tone will stop, the gauge goes back up and message is gone...... then another split second...

Just a few quick questions. Do you have the single window trip computer? Or the triple window? Do you have the Digital speedo displayed? (Cop mode ON) When you exceed 120, does the centre window display "120" in a circle and place a simple that says "O/Speed" in the bottom left of the middle...

Good to hear you got it all sorted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pull the box out and bolt it to your L67. Grab this HOLDEN PERFORMANCE MEMCAL TO SUIT VY V6 L67 - Mace Engineering Group and your all set computer wise. This will go into your L67's ECU. I just posted here...

I converted my L67 Calais a couple of months ago. It was literally the BEST thing I've ever done. I picked up a getrag conversion kit for about $1400, it pretty much had everything I needed. If you need any help/you get stuck let me know as everything I did is all still fresh in my head. Mace...

Sorry, the wire colour I referenced is found at the PCM not the DFI, alas it is irrelevant as I'm sure your wiring is intact. As for the video, youtube would be your best bet. Just upload it to youtube and post a link. I'm scratching my head here.... I have a strong feeling it's a faulty DFI...

The balancer is probably fine. They are usually on very tight. (It is keyed though.... You did line up the crankshaft key with the balancer right?) If you could take a video of your situation it would help us to understand what's happening. Also the plug gap should actually be 1.3mm. Given that...

I would look into the TPS (Throttle position sensor). The automatic transmission relies heavily, but not exclusively on the amount of throttle that is applied. A faulty TPS can result in the transmission holding gears too long/not long enough, not dropping down gears as usual, hard shifts and...

Jump on to Envyous Customs - Holden Commodore Diagnostic Software grab an ALDL cable and Advanced Engine Diagnostics.... This software will display DTC's (current and history) and allow you to clear them... That being said try running the engine with the cam position sensor unplugged..... The...

I think you may be talking about TazzI?? Jump on to Envyous Customs - Holden Commodore Diagnostic Software grab an ALDL cable and Advanced Engine Diagnostics.... This software will display DTC's (current and history) and allow you to clear them... That being said, I would look at the CAS or the...

Your fuses are fine, it is common for the bulbs in the headlight switch to stop working, I have seen a lot of VY-VZ's and pretty much all of the headlight switches didn't work. They are also not replaceable, by that I mean they're not really user replaceable. You will need to open the switch and...

I'd use something like this from bunnings: Moroday Grey Econo Weather Seal Tape I/N 4061864 | Bunnings Warehouse

I reckon VHT Plate Finish is what you're after mate.

I have encountered this problem before. If you are getting the fuel gauge error the car will not crank, probably due to the missing signal from the fuel tank. When this happened to me I disconnected the battery and using a jerry can i topped up the petrol in the tank. After reconnecting the...

Ok so I have this very strange problem with the interior light of my 03 VY Calais. Today I was driving along and noticed that my interior light was on. All the doors were closed and the switch was set to "Doors". When I switch the switch to "off" nothing happened. The lights did not turn...

Do you have the correct cap? It should say 135kpa on it. The radiator cap is designed to release pressure when the 135kpa limit is reached. If you have the wrong cap it can build up pressure an pop off your hoses. If that's not the problem you may need new hoses and hose clamps.

The plug with the blue rubber on it is supposed to be connected to the receptacle on the air box this is the intake air temp sensor. The little black box with the prongs is an aftermarket "mod chip" like device that fools the ecu into thinking the air is colder than it actually is so the ecu...

I believe contact cleaner may work, or at least do something. I always thought (correct me if I'm wrong) that the buttons work on resistance, ie when a button is pressed the head unit will see continuity on the circuit with x amount of Ohms resistance. The h/u will then perform the function...

Pontiac GTO 2004-2006. AKA Holden Monaro. I don't know if it had the cup holders though, they may have been put in by the owner.

I don't have the bluetooth kit so I can't tell you from first hand experience but to the best of my knowledge the bluetooth kit runs mono sound at a fairly low quality, so if you wanted it to stream music to your h/u it's almost useless. For phone calls you should be fine but I can't tell you...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anybody knows how to remove the seats from their frames. I have vy Calais series 1 seats and I would like to put them into a series 2. Now the series 2 has the memory seat option that I would like to retain and I have concluded that just installing the memory seat...

They are crazy hard to find mate. Good luck.

The ABS self test can be described as a momentary shudder/vibration upon moving off from a stationary position for the first time after starting the engine. You may also feel a vibration in the steering wheel. This is normal, the ABS system is running a self test to ensure all it's components...

It's the ABS self test. It's not a problem.

No that's normal operating temp. My vy would get to that and not move. Even on a 43 degree day with the air con blasting in stop start traffic. You have nothing to worry about.

Interesting, I didn't know that, thanks. But yeah I have to admit my experience is with older cars. Good to see they patched these flaws in the future.

The following is from my experience with other cars, mostly older commodores (it may not be right) use a multi meter before doing anything. Ok so there should be 2 wires going into the factory switch. One should be +12v and other 0v. The 0v wire is connected to the actuator and the actuator is...

Firstly consider where you want this second button. I always liked that holden put the button in the globe box so it could not be pressed with a coat hanger through the door rubber. The old fords (ea and eb) have a button on lower dash right of the steering wheel and you can slide a coat hanger...

I'm pretty sure they are the same. The Calais ones are electric, but I have a feeling even the executives have electric door mirrors, by now it's pretty much standard.

Under the bonnet, near where the lock is I think, there is a pin. Like the pins inside your door that active the interior light. I think there is a problem with this pin. The alarm with be activated when this pin is grounded. I think water is getting in and grounding the pin.

There is definitely a locking tab and there will be a rubber seal inside the connector to stop water ingress. I find these rubber seals can make it harder to get off. I would find out how it unlocks and try prying it with a screwdriver.

What connectors? Do they have a locking tab? What are they connected to? What are they for? We are going to need I bit more info here. ............. Ok the picture. I see it.
