    05 Vz Crewman Jumping Between Park & Drive in Drive while driving

    Pulling fuse would have reset the module, being a 7.5 amp wouldn't have been the issue.

    The underlay is part of the carpet, they are replaced as one.

    In car smell

    Check the HVAC drain grommet isn't leaking fluid under your carpet. Pull off the passenger side centre console trim and look under the dash on the trans tunnel. Youll see a rubber grommet where the drain passes through the body. If it's a fat foam grommet it needs to be changed to the rubber one.

    Fuel issue on steep decline driveway?

    Only info I can find is min pressure at idle 10psi, at 2000rpm 20psi. Doesn't say what max pressures should be.

    Fuel issue on steep decline driveway?

    To access the oil pickup to change O ring only sump has to come off from memory. If the O ring wasn't sealing there would be low oil pressure all the time at idle from experience. I'm sure the rattle will be the cam actuators at the front of the engine, not the chains. Front cover will be an...

    Fuel issue on steep decline driveway?

    It needs to be done when the car is faulting or it's pointless, it's clearly an intermittent issue that can't be replicated at the dealership. If they are so confident it's the chains say do the chains, if it doesn't fix it I'm not paying a cent.

    Fuel issue on steep decline driveway?

    Does sound like a fuel pressure issue on startup. Would need a gauge on the fuel system when it faults to confirm. Even on a steep angle the oil pickup would be submerged. Timing chains don't slip, the cam actuators can rattle on startup while building oil pressure but shouldn't affect...

    VF Calais V MY14 Air Con High Pressure Hose

    If it's warranty the old part must be returned to Holden for the dealership to be reimbursed. If it's a V6 look at the smaller pipe off the compressor that runs to the condensor, where the metal section joins the rubber section it will most likely be covered in oil. Easily seen by just lifting...

    150,000km Service on 2014 VF SV6 Storm

    Tech 2 isn't used on VF and shift timing is not adjustable.

    Unknown Issue causing shudder and vibration

    Sounds like centre bearing, you need to drop exhaust and heat shield to inspect it.

    Oil Grade preferences for your LS3

    150,000km Service on 2014 VF SV6 Storm

    Trans service isn't rocket science, needs for be correct fluid Dex6 or equivalent and correct level. Will generally take 4.5-5litres after a pan drop and filter change.

    VE SS trans cooler issues after fitting

    Possibly a poor choice of cooler, some work better than others..

    VF SV6 Sump Plug & Splash Plate

    I think the issue is that the D panel under the front fascia used to have a gap between it and the subframe on VE which allowed airflow through to the sump, the VF D panel closes up that gap so with the splash tray on there is zero airflow to the engine at the bottom.

    VE SS trans cooler issues after fitting

    These aren't an issue with long idle times or overcooling.

    VE SS trans cooler issues after fitting

    I'm not a fan of the risk of the rad cooler failing and introducing coolant into the transmission, happens more than you'd think.

    You can buy coolers with a mounted fan and temp switch all built in, works mint.

    09 ve omega engine light

    Plugs should be done at 120k, if they've not been changed that would be my first step. If the problem still occurs the correct scan tool will tell you which cylinder is misfiring. Once you determine the faulting cylinder swap coil packs then retest and see if the fault follows the coil pack. If...

    Service ESP

    An aftermarket patch into the obd should be able to be removed with no ill effect to the canbus itself. If the issue goes away with all aftermarket devices d/c then the issue is within the aftermarket gear. The canbus is resistance sensitive so any additional resistance introduced into the...

    VE SS trans cooler issues after fitting

    Coolant temps are up to 105 degrees so I don't see how an air cooler would be less efficient.

    Service ESP

    You can't remove the canbus, it's what all the modules use to communicate with each other. I feel you have been bullshitted somewhat.

    Service ESP

    Sounds to me you have an engine issue and ESP is disabled because of the engine issue which is normal. So ignored ESP ie trac/stability control as it will always disable when there's an engine issue. Get the engine codes read and report back with a full list. Running rough and lacking power...
