    VF Ute rear window panel trim removal

    I'm tackling this now. Does disconnecting the battery for 20 - 30 minutes remove all power to the airbags?

    VF Ute rear window panel trim removal

    Hi all. I have a VF1 SSV Redline ute and want to remove the rear window panel trim (panel behind the seats). I found a write up under VE for removal, was wanting to know if the VF is the same method or different considering curtain airbags and subs in the qtr panels? Cheers

    VF Steering Wheel Trim Surround Removal

    Hi all. I've searched and come up with the steering wheel removal thread: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-change-vf-steering-wheel.235391 My question is, to remove the chrome and "carbon fibre" trim around the wheel, does the wheel have to come off the car or can this be...

    Holden commodore VE dash strips paint or Plasti Dip or vinyl wrap

    I had mine hydro dipped then painted to a plain colour. Benefit of plasti dip is you can peel it off and redo it if you want a different colour. Prior to hydro dipping then painting I used vinyl wrap but with the curves around the shifter and cup holders it didn't hold up for long.

    Coolant Overflow

    Good morning all VR/VS owners. We've had a win. I've just been advised by Dayco that they have manufactured a replacement OEM style VR/VS Overflow Coolant Reservoir. Available at Burson and Repco and other independents. Part # is DOT0036. Regards, Scott

    I thought all 2014 MY15's had a full sized spare wheel?

    Hi all. Has anyone investigated fitting the Maloo Wheel Carrier for their SSV Redline Ute to house the 8.5" spare? If so what did you pay for the set up? I'm not keen on this compressor one bit.

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    Yes they do. It's a common component of the engine at build whether or not the vehicle is mated to an Auto or Manual.

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    I didn't read right through to check if yours is auto or manual, although my VE SS did a similar thing and I was advised by Holden and a couple of tuners that it was the AFM internals. My ute was a manual so the internals weren't required but part of the build. Same noises as you are explaining...

    VF SS Ute

    Hi all. Has anyone noticed on the Holden website that Jungle Green is missing on the SS ute? I can't get confirmation if this has been deleted for the next model and they are making the change now to the production line or not. Anyone know for sure?

    VS Senator rear bar sagging

    Hi all. I searched and found nothing. If I missed something apologies. My '96 Senator rear bar is sagging under the tail lights in the corners due to the flimsy little supports attached to the body. Anyone got a solution to fix it for good?

    Hi all. How many would like to replace their overflow with a new one? Dayco are doing new OEM style overflow bottles for Holden and Ford. I've sent a request off with a positive response to at least look into making these and I prompt anyone with a VR/VS to do the same. The more...

    After reading online about the difficulties in removing the rear seats on these VS Senators with the removable headrests, I'm very pleased to say that I've not had any trouble with them. The car was in my panel shop for some other work so I asked if they would attempt to remove the seats with...

    Had a new 3 core alloy brass radiator fitted yesterday. Temp gauge sits just under qtr now. The alloy rad I bought had buckled hence the issues I was experiencing. Turns out it's a trans cooler mines running not a power steer cooler as I was previously advised. Wanted to get a larger one fitted...

    $50 you can't go wrong. Haven't heard of a fix for the a/b cover. Mine is similar to that one.
  24. Scruba

    My VS 2 Senator # 921

    Sure will. It's probably half the size of your trans cooler. It sits off to the left of the radiator but that fan wouldn't allow it to sit there on your set up.

    Yeah. I've got a pwr steer cooler on the passenger side. Apparently factory fitted.

    Decent size unit that one. Is yours running a pwr steering cooler?

    Which polisher did you get from CCP? I'm about to get one looking at the DAS-6 as it has good reviews. I'm doing one of their workshops in June with our club but want to get stuck in ASAP!

    Thanks Wombles. I'll get a new one with the rad so if anything stuffs up I can go back to the shop to repair it ;). Thanks for that. Mines definitely moving around so I guess it's working. G'day Hoska. I'm away for the next 10 days but will get a pic when I get home. I was told that...

    Another question. Trans oil coolers. Which is best and why? Plate and fin or stacked plate?

    Is yours running a 'standard' radiator?
  32. Scruba

    My VS 2 Senator # 921

    Yep it's constantly between C and 1/4 but hasn't gone over 1/4 once. Will sit there until peak hr traffic then goes to 1/4 but back down once moving again.

    Hi all. I'm chasing some advise which I couldn't find a direct answer on. I replaced the cooling system - rad, hoses, thermostat and housing, water pump and heater tap. The radiator was replaced with an alloy 3 core unit after the 'original' unit split a side tank. My temp gauge even before...

    My VS 2 Senator # 921

    Yeah. I saw a write up where from new the vs power steering hoses would vibrate the system due to pressure and a change of hoses (which was done under warranty) would fix that but it doesn't mention only on a gear change so I think I'm still searching.
