VZ Service Manual
Has anyone had any luck getting hold of a service manual (workshop book) for a VZ. Have only been able to find up to VY in the book shops.

i have one, it is very very good, to get the proper holden one they will sell it to you, but unless the price has come down they cost $400+

Haynes have a VZ (and VZII whatever that is?? The 6L maybe?) manual.
Holden Commodore VT-VZ 1997 - 2006 Shop Manual
Thanks for the link, but i think that maybe that manual is for the engine only? How many pages is the holden $400 book, or is it a cd?

it may come on a cd, but mine is on a dvd cause it has other vehicles, but it would easily have way over 1000 pages

It's not just the engine, I have the previous edition which covers VT-VYII.
The chapters are: Tune up and maintainence, V6 engine, 5L V8 engine, LS1 V8 engine, General engine overhaul, Cooling, heating and air conditioning, Fuel and exhaust, Engine electrical, Emissions and engine control, Manual transmission, Automatic transmission, Clutch and driveline, Brakes, Suspension and steering, Body, Chassis electrical and Wiring diagrams.
As you can see, it covers quite a lot, though the Holden one is undoubtedly more comprehensive. It really depends how much detail you need. The Haynes book is enough for the average backyard mechanic, but if you want really high levels of detail the Holden one would be the way to go. It just depends how much you want to spend.

I don't suppose the Hayes has anything about the Adventra AWD setup and maintenance? What about the $400 thing, does that cover the Adventra?

certainly does, covers everything about them

could you look in your manual and see how to get all the coolant out of the engine..dropping the bottom radiator hose only gets about half of it out...

to do it properly you are meant to remove the the thermostat and the heater pipes, and reverse flush the block out, its a pain in the ass, there is no drain plug on the block as such,
and yes getting about 5 litres out is about right

Do you have a part number for purchasing this through Holden?

there's a little thing on this forum called "keepin it legal" I'm sure IPsomethingorother would love to post it but simply cannot. thanks for the tidbits.
That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.

OK. Tried to do the "honest" think and went to Holden with my $450 to buy a factory service manual for my VZ. They wouldn't sell it to me because they said some VZ units are still under manufacturer warranty and can't supply to the public until 2010. Also they said part number VZ102006 was not a valid holden part number.
