VK V8 Engine Code

Hi guys,

I am looking at buying a VK and want to be able to confirm if it was originally a V8 when it left the factory.

It is now fitted with a rebuilt 8 from a different car.

What code should the Build or Compliance Plate have on it to show the car was born as a V8?

Thanks,

TEMPA

Either L31 or LV2, L31 means its a factory 308, LV2 means its a factory 304(mid 85 Vk onwards had these)

Hi there, I was talking to Juzza over MSN re the thread he started asking for VH production option codes. I told him that I have a Holden Parts Finder printout of all production availability options so he told me to post it up and he'd sticky it. Here goes...

AA2 - Windshield - Full Tint - Export - (VH & VK)...snip

cupla sorta amendments
K96...(Not with C60 Airconditioner and BO2):thumbsup:

G73 Heavy Duty axle (includes G80 and JM8)

VA1 ...(not with C60 Airconditioner)

XS2..also available on VK

GV7..only with LD1/M40 on VH A9Ks



otherwise...a top list
and
one I had to memorise to do my job at GMH:ranting:

cheers

the 323 is the option pack, this one being a base VK Calais with EFi 202, M40 trimatic 3 speed auto and a 3.08:1(GU4) diff. Doesn't have electric windows or central locking.
Can't help with the paint and trim code.

Right the trim code would mean that it has Copper trim, might be leather.
Now the electric windows and central locking bit, it might be dealer fitted. My records state that a 323 pack doesn't have these at all.

With thanks to my mate commodorenut, he's cleared up some of this for you:

3036 = Copper exterior paint
(2F-014-D is the Dulux code for the refinishing industry)

73Y = Coppertone interior trim
(Y = Velour in a VK)

Central locking was standard on a VK Calais.
Power windows were an extra cost option, but usually included.
