I'm considering changing the single track Eurovox CD player/radio in my VX 2 wagon to a 6 stack Blaupunkt Blaupunkt CD player/radio removed from a VY. Are the wiring connectors on a 6 track Blaupunkt CD removed from a VY exactly the same as the wiring connectors on a single track Blaupunkt CD...

Clogged up fuel filter?

From what I can gather the centre bearing on a VX tailshaft is extremely hard, if not impossible, to remove/replace and the universals cannot be repaired as they are 'staked'. So, my questions are: (1) Will the tailshaft of a VT automatic wagon fit straight into a VX series 2 automatic...

I could not source one of these units from anywhere else but the local stealers and it cost $232.00 While I found other solenoids that fitted the LPG shut-off valve body costing between $50-80 they don't have the little black 'smart unit' attached which meant the wiring, connectors etc...

My VX 2 Commodore is fitted with what is called by Holden, an 'accessory fitted' LPG system. Recently, it has started to cut out suddenly when running on LPG. I've had it a LPG installer but they were worse than useless. I suspected one of the lock-off valves was failing intermittently...

Have you checked the supply fuse (from memory fuse 23) is O.K? If the fuse is blown or has been removed, then my guess is the motor would've been fried. Remove the aerial (a fairly straight forward job), connect it to a 12 d.c source (i.e a car battery) and see if it operates (remember to put...

I was replacing the three belts on my Nissan twin cab ute and took off the top radiator hose to gain easier access to the belts and, as a result, lost some of the green radiator coolant. (Now, before you shoot me down about being on the wrong forum - I also own a Commodore and the advice given...

At AutoPro yesterday, every bottle of radiator coolant I inspected included specific warning on the label not to mix it with any other brand radiator coolant. The instructions stated the radiator must first be drained, then flushed and finally refilled the radiator coolant. But why is...

Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

In dash 6 stacker.

Would a Blaupunkt 6 stacker CD/radio unit taken from a VY Commodore fit into a VX2 as a straight forward replacement for a single stack Eurovox CD/radio, or would there need to be some alteration to the wiring? Thanks

You're absolutely right Nut Kracker.

I just pulled out a leaking (pinhole) power steering oil cooler on my VX2 wagon. I thought it would take about two hours to drop the bumper, pull out the grille, remove all the necessary screws/clips and yank out the old cooler and replace it with a good one. How wrong I was! It took me...

I need to top up the power steering reservoir on my VX2 wagon about once a month and I suspect it is the power steering oil cooler leaking as there are drops of oil hanging from it. Consequently I put in an order for a new one only to be informed by the Holden dealer there weren't any...

Hi Sabbath, I removed the old one complete. With the PCM mounting bracket off - replacing the aerial was a breeze. The only problem I encountered was when I took the old aerial off, it dropped suddenly and the co-ax cable pulled out of the sidwall. Even though I was annoyed at my own stupidity...

Yes Drewie, it's all sorted now and everythings been put back together, everything works perfectly and, what's more, there were no parts left over either - rather amazing. I figured out the diagram could be used for both manual and electric and the mudguard was removed for instructional...

Hi Ghost, No need for plan 'B' now - I've managed to get it off and I'm amazed (and feel a little stupid too) at how easy it eventually was. Thanks for your interest and help - it was much appreciated.

Hi Drewie, thanks for your input. My problem was getting the PCM mounting bracket off the sidewall inside the cabin, which I've now got off and I'm ready to install the new electric aerial (the one shown in the photo is a manually operated aerial). However I think I'll give removing the...

I'm fairly sure it's not the radio aerial - which this thread is about.

You're spot on Al. It was my very last attempt and I noticed the nearest tab to me (the one shown in your photo) looked to go into the sidepanel - which I hadn't noticed before. I'd been concentrating on the peg above it the top of the mounting bracket. When I put a screwdriver in and...

Hi Ghost. Mine has never been a police vehicle and I've looked everywhere for a screw that might be holding it in and I cannot find any but I'll go and have another look. It seems to be held into place by a moulded plastic lug moulded on the rear of the PCM mounting bracket which slots into...

Thanks for your reply. I've tried pulling the co-ax cable too, but to no avail as it goes into a grommet at right angle to the side panel and comes into the cabin area and does another right angle down somewhere behind the PCM mounting. I've poked into all the gaps I can - I've had a look...

I'm changing the electric aerial on my VX2 Exec. S/W. Everything was going well until I tried to get at the co-axial connector which looks like it is located in the passenger side footwell behind the PCM. My problem is this. After removing the PCM from it's mounting bracket (very simple)...

Thanks for supplying the info requested - it was much appreciated.

My 2002 VX2 wagon has a factory-fitted Impco 225 LPG system. Does anyone know what are the best spark plugs for this particular system and also what the spark plug gap is? Thanks

Thanks mate - much obliged.

Well I haven't got either a flat cap or a very clean cream HQ - what I haven't got is those bolt/nuts needed to hold the front passenger side weathershield on now.

Thanks Jonesy 484. As I live up Ararat way, would you suggest any particular wreckers to try when I come to Melbourne next?

Someone decided they needed the bolts/nuts from the Aunger weathershield on the passenger side of my VX2. So, I'm just wondering if anyone has any of these little black plastic capped bolts and nuts that secure the weathershield onto the steel clips surrounding the window frame laying around...

Are you putting the weathershields back on or do you intend leaving them off?

I'd check out the change over switch.

Thanks markbaja. I had thought about using a VT stalk, but they are so different (squarish) than the VX2 (round) I'd have to change the wiper stalk to match. I'm now thinking about cutting off the VX2 plug and spicing the wires into the VT plug, The wiring colour code between the two plugs...

Anyone out there in Just Commodore land who can help - please??

Unfortunately no pics. I have tried previously to upload some pics but I couldn't work out how to do it - so gave up trying. I reckon that one pic is worth a thousand words so if anyone reading this post would like to tell me how to upload pics to the Just Commodore site I'd be very thankful.

Recently I purchased a second-hand set of Aunger weathershields (type AWS181) for my VX wagon. Being second hand, there were no installation instructions. I thought it would take about five minutes to mount but, as much as I tried, I just couldn't figure out how the damned things went on. It...

It's taken some time, but I've finally managed to get a complete factory VT cruise control system (which even included the original GM 11 page instruction pamphlet, all cable ties, dash globes etc.) to install in my VX 2 Executive. From what I can see it is a straight forward installation...

Ours is Stellar. She is a Staffy, Rhodesian Ridgeback bitch, and we got her from the R.S.P.C.A. on the very day she was due to be put down. I consider we're both very lucky as she is a beautiful, placid dog - even though she is a bit timid. We were told the former owners had been very abusive...

Thanks mwb235 The information you provided was very helpful.

While I consider registration is high here in Victoria when you consider all it really amounts to is an administration charge (how long does it take to input a few bits of data into a computer?), the charge I find reprehensible is the TAC (Traffic Accident Commission) component. And it annoys me...

Thanks Brett_jjj. I have most of the parts you've listed except the wiring loom. GM used to sell the cruise control wiring loom for VT/VX's as a separate item, so common sense tells me if it is possible to get one, it must be possible (but not necessarily easy) to retrofit one into my vehicle...
