    Default VK Calais 5L queries

    Hey guys.
    Just got a query.
    With the VK Calais 5L's are they Power steering, unleaded fuel? electric windows and cruise ? and also did any Calais come out in Manual or did they all come out in Auto.

    Only 5L/202carby came out with option of manual. I dont think they had cruise on manuals back then thou? Calais with EFI202's only came auto - no manual option, all with cruise.
    Power windows etc... all standard but could be optioned "off" Prob other things could be optioned off... Im not sure what else. I have seen factory Calais with winders... But not missing anything else.
    Also Sunroofs were optional on all models inc Calais.
    Unleaded fuel Laws came in, in '86 so to my knowledge VK's are all leaded? the VL's were unleaded.


    HTH,
    Feel free to correct me, lol

    VK 5L Calais all had power steering standard,
    Unleaded wasnt introduced untill 1986 the VL was the First commodore to be unleaded. You can run it on 98 octane unleaded no problems.
    All calais standard had manual windows, it was an option to go to electric windows, although most came with them anyway.
    Calais did come with cruise control
    All calais were Autos, but you can convert to a manual.

    cheers

    If you happen to get a 334 pack, thats the manual Calais. But Scott above has posted the rest
