Just an update on my problem/s, my mechanic replaced replaced the Steering Angle Sensor and it appears to have fixed it. $356 later ($120 for the part) and it is a case of happy days and hopefully case closed. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions.

Thanks. It's a manual so it doesn't have remote start. I'll try unplugging the power steering control module over the weekend and see how it goes otherwise I'll just book it in to an auto electrician.

Ok, I cleared the error codes and the following ones have appeared: U0078 - Control Module Communication low speed CANbus Off U0155 - lost comms with Instrument Cluster U0158 - lost comms with HUD U0164 - lost comms with HVAC U0168 - lost comms with keyless entry control module U0236 - lost...

These are the four error messages coming up on the dash.

I'd say 158, 232, 233 and maybe 155 are new as the heads up display wasn't working properly today and the same with parking assist as I lost all sensors and parking grid lines. 140, 155, 415 and 428 I have no idea about.

Hi everyone, I've got a MY17 Redline sedan and over the last few days it's started to throw up the following errors on the dash: - ESP - Service ESP - Park Assist temporarily unavailable - Park Assist Off I got the codes scanned today and so far have: U0140 - Lost Communication with BCM...

I was just wondering what people have replaced the manual gear knob in their VF Redlines with please? I am sick of having my hand getting cut and I am not keen on spending $700 plus on an original replacement one. thanks

That was the most frustrating part when the first injector failed - Holden and the dealer only agreeing to replace the dodgy one, not all of them like I know Holden had done for other people. It shouldn't have taken a second one to fail for them to replace all the remaining injectors.

yeah Supercheap still does scans. Alternatively if you are a roadside service member of NRMA etc, you call them and they will come to you and do the same job.

I got my car back yesterday and all the remaining 7 injectors have been replaced.

Well #$*@ me. It looks like another injector has failed. After disagreeing with the dealer that the car was using more petrol than what it should (14/100 highway), I got another misfire today. This time it is injector no. 4 (no. 6 last time). So the car is being towed first thing in the...

Following up from my Injector Failure, Holden Customer Care are playing hard ball and won't replace the other 7 injectors. HCC did say they would replace the injector if it failed outside of the warranty period though. Does anyone know if it is Techline 20-4-002 that covers replacing all 8...

How did you go with this? My car is now doing the same thing. Neither remotes work in the morning and as far as I can work out, there are no new 433mh gizmo's around the garage etc. Our old Nissan used to do something similar when the car battery was on the way out. So I was wondering if it...

ok. The car is fixed and Injector no. 6 did die. But they only replaced the dodgy injector so going by others here where they said all 8 were replaced, I will follow it up later on.

I will let you know how I go.

All good. I just thought that going through Holden Roadside Assistance and getting NRMA out was the first part of Holden triage. I don't know what other people did when they had this problem. Holden Roadside Assistance first or just straight to the Dealer?

It's a public holiday here in Canberra and Victoria (so Holden Customer Care is closed) so other than speaking to Holden Roadside assist (NRMA) who will arrange towing, I don't think I can do much else today. I will get the car towed tomorrow as I wasn't keen on leaving it outside the dealer...

No. 6 Injector is misfiring. The car will be towed to the dealer tomorrow.

MY17 Redline 2/17 build with 45,000km on the clock and I got a engine light and ESP light come on this morning. It was noticeable that it wasn't firing on all cylinders. I just spoke to Holden and they are sending NRMA around to assess it first.

mine is a bit wonky too. if i start the car, sometimes it is on the radio which was what I last had it on. Other times it might jump to USB and start there. Other times if I am listening to a particular album off the USB, it starts on a different album next time I start the car. Then the next...

And the red one is sold as well. I think both made it into the November sales figures (which I believe were below 3000 for Holden). VFACTS Full sales figures will be out tomorrow.

UPDATE. The white one has been sold.

Gerald Slaven Holden in Canberra are advertising on FB that they have two 'new' Redlines for sale. "We've got something special for you! The last 2 undriven, unregistered VF SSV Redline Commodores. Two stunning examples of this Aussie icon; * The red one comes with all factory options and...

I had a small dent repaired and a total respray done on my S2 Red Hot bonnet. The quotes I had were between $550 and $725. That was in Canberra though.

A mate of mine that is in the business of buying wholesale cars for dealers tells me that dealers will grab second hand VFs from him but aren't interested in any ZBs.

That is what I was wondering. I didn't ask them to increase the agreed value, NRMA just increased it by approx. 10% / $6k. Every other car I have had has had the agreed value decrease every year.

I just got my renewal notice from NRMA and the agreed value for my stock 2017 Redline has jumped from $60,580 to $67,300 which has surprised me. The premium has also jumped by $55. What are other people seeing with their insurance renewals?

A friend of mine wholesales cars for a number of clients. He says no one will touch ZB's but there is still a strong demand for VFs.

Hyundai did show off a Santa Cruz ute a couple of years ago and I thought it was due for release in the USA in the next year or so. I am not sure about it coming to Australia though. But it is one thing missing from Hyundai's line up at the moment. Watch Hyundai push for number 2 spot if / when...

Financially, a SV6 would have been a smarter decision, but in this case the heart overruled the head.

I originally was going to buy a VE SV6 brand new a few years ago. After I drove it, negotiated a good price etc, I told my wife I was going to pull the trigger and buy it the next day. She said before you do that, she was pregnant with our third child and she would now prefer a SUV. So my car...

i just had a look at the invoice and the final cost was $6140. Plus the hire car on top of that. after the guy hit me, he tried to arrange comprehensive insurance through his Porsche insurance while we were exchanging details as he also got hit up the back after he hit me. The third car driver...

I was rear ended at a relatively low 20km/h or less around 9 months ago. At first glace the rear bumper had popped out and the boot was slightly harder to close. Upon inspection by my choice of repairer, in addition to a new bumper, I required a new exhaust (bent), replacement tyre well and a...

When we bought our Santa Fe a few years ago, it was brand new (7km on the clock) and we haggled over the price for a bit. The dealers best price was still a couple of thousand over our budget so when we said 'thanks but sorry' he offered to register the car as a demo, we'd get a few extra...

Like EV's? While Holden came out with the Volt, it looks like Holden (and Ford?) are the only mainstream car companies in Aust that doesn't have something available at the moment. And I can't see that changing in the near future with GM's reluctance to develop RHD vehicles.

Has anyone bought any tyres through Supercheap Auto / Tyroola? The prices seem to be competitive and if we could get a Ponzi style scheme going the prices are even more competitive.

I love Pearl Beach - My grandparents lived there until only a few years ago. I have quite a few fond memories of my nanna zipping around the road down to Pearl Beach in her old RX-3. Anyway - a few years back our work Falcons had problems where the engine would just cut out while it was on...

I think the seats are luxury compared to the ZB I sat in so the VZ seats must have been awesome.

just a part of GM's scorched earth policy?

GM would have got more for it selling it as a on going entity with manufacturing operations, Zeta IP etc rather than just a 'name'. how much have GM spent closing up Elizabeth?
