Sept 17 vf2 ssv 6spd redline 19000km, drivers seat clicks when moving around taking turns corners etc otherwise fine
I tightened 4 star head screws under seat along rail and it has reduced it, still a slight click I believe if I tighten it more it would stopHey, my 2016 SV6 wagon driver’s seat does the same! Do you know what it is?
Thanks @Emco I'll give that a go.I tightened 4 star head screws under seat along rail and it has reduced it, still a slight click I believe if I tighten it more it would stop
sounds like engine thinks its colder than it is and running rich. Is car using more fuel??Hi people. Had quite a few issues recently with my 2016 VFII SSV (not redline). About 142,000kms on the clock and have had it since new. About 5 months ago the gearbox decided to die so I had it (6L80-E) rebuilt. Also meant replacing the radiator at the same time. All stock. Then 2 months ago, radiator decides to drop it's guts and found out the plastic at the base cracked under the pressure. Time for radiator number 3. Thankfully the workshop who did the work, being the great guys that they are, noticed that the cooling fans weren't fully engaging at operating temperature. Dash was saying engine temp was fine. So after 2 days of trouble shooting they worked out it was a faulty water temperature sensor. ie engine was running hotter than what the sensor was indicating. All fixed, everyone happy. Engine does seem slightly rougher than it used to though. Fast forward to now and on a cold start up, the engine slightly struggles to turn over and seems to be a more noticeable "sooty" sort of smell from the exhaust. Once warmed up seems fine. And repeated turning on and off when engine is warm, seems to be no start up issues................until now the Service Vehicle Soon message comes up, even though it had a service about a month ago. Holden telling me possibly some crank issue? Either way dropping it in to mechanic next week, but thought I'd see if an of you guys had any thoughts/opinions on what's happening here?
Hello.Hi.
This is a general question. I'd like to gauge how people's SS (LS3) has been to own since new. How many kilometres have you travelled and have you had a major failure on the engine / mechanicals / electricals? I was of the belief these cars are suppose to be almost bullet proof on reliability. I have no issues but my ride does not get driven (at all) really so I have no idea how it may run after a few thousand ks. I'm interested to see how others SS have gone through the mileage.
