You could have a small split in the side tanks of the radiator , only leaks when pressure builds up, common fault , replace the radiator & both hoses.

Crank Angle sensor I reckon.....

When You turn ign on the pump will only run for 2 secs, then it stops, until you go to "start engine" ie it only runs continuously when engine is running.

Anyway I tried it - It didnt work , I will have to get a Tech 2 card for VS supercharged.

Try replacing your Alternator Voltage Regulator, sounds like your regulator/brushes are worn , New regulator about $45 from repco. Remove your old one from rear of alternator & take to Repco to match it up , as they sometimes differ on different models of alternators.

Check the oil level too , & its a good idea to install a transmission oil cooler kit too . Heat kills Auto Trannies....

no they all use the resistor....

You can also just drop the struts down about 20mm by undoing the top mount nut but not all the way , drill your holes & you can JUST get your fingers in between the top of the strut & the strut cavity to feed your bolts thru & get a spanner on to tighten them up. This saves having to undo the...

You have a leak in the vacuum line to the controls somewhere , usually the little rubber hose that goes into the rear of the inlet manifold next to the brake booster vacuum line has come off or is cracked perished. Check for leaks under the dash area too in the rubber lines.

I have a Tech 2 Scan tool which will power up when connected to a VY Diagnostic connector , however when I connect it to a VS Diagnostic connector it will not power up . I did some investigating & found that pins 4 & 5 on the VS connector are the Negative & Serial Data pins respectively that you...

Sounds like the Fan speed resistor is on the way out. Can be changed but a fiddly job accessing it under the dash. They cost about $80 ex dealer , cheaper at wreckers. As well check the wiring plugs too behind the dash control unit.

Best mod is to fit -243 LS2 Heads & Inlet Manifold & LS2 Throttle body to LS1 engine block. You will still need the adaptor harness as the throttle bodies LS1 has different pinout plug than LS2 & also "talks" different to LS2 to ECU . The harness has a neat little metal box in it that converts...

Pull the Airbag off , I bet the connector has come off the back of it. A yellow rectangular plug with 2 pins , it just pulls off . Make sure you disconnect bettery (both terminals) before you pull it off & donmt reconnect battery till you have finished, the warning light has to be reset with a...

I just converted my VY to the illuminated controls , not an easy job but I did it using a WL clockspring & WL illuminated buttons, & a wiring harness plug & 100mm of harness from a wrecker off a VZ with the paddle shifts, that taps in to the VY harness & plugs into the rear of the clockspring...

I have just converted my VY to have illuminated steering wheel buttons , not what you would call an easy job , but I did it. You need a set of illuminated buttons from a VZ or WL , a clockspring from a VZ or WL, a wiring plug with about 100mm of wires on itfrom the Main wiring harness to fit on...

hi rhino- I think you need the purple wire that goes from the ECU to the speedo head, not the purple wire from the gearbox transducer to the ECU??

, yep reasonably easy , however there are 2 top bolts hard to get at , you have to drop the entire rear suspension cradle down enough to get a spanner on them , they are bloody tight , you will need a breaker bar. your current diff will be a 3.07, but check the sticker on the drivers side of...

check your rubber vacuum lines under the throttle body , theres a few of them , they tend to perish & come off the metal spigots. I have found twice on my L67 they have come off in this area of the engine.

do you have a towbar plug?? sometimes a loose wire in that causes the blinkers to go haywire, or a blown globe on the side that is flashing fast....

my vy calais S/cV6 sedan used to knock a bit. It was the exhaust hitting on the body near the diff area , & also the rear muffler hitting on the upper surface where the rear rubber mounts are for it. If you have access to a hoist you can check the exhaust to body clearances. Also if you have...

Why on earth do you want to do this??? Oh well, the best place to access the rev & neutral/park/start wires is they are in one of the 3 Engine harness plugs that connect the engine loom to the main wiring harness, just tap into them , you may need a wiring diagram for the right colours, ...

There are a few close areas along the exhaust , as it heats up the pipes/mufflers /cats expand & can contact the body /rear suspension etc . Best to put it up on a hoist & recheck along the exhaust run. , You need a minimum of 1 finger thickness around any part of it to any underframe part as a...

You can start by replacing your voltage regulator in the back of the alternator , repco sell them about $55 , take the old one out & show them , make sure you get an identical replacement. See how it runs then....

Could be your auto trans switch try it in Park & Neutral. Do you get the "OK" in the instrument cluster self test window when you turn ign on?? You may need to get a Tech 2 to re program your keys to the BCM.

Sounds like the T/C was playing up & the previous owner pulled out the switch to deactivate it. There must be a problem in the T/C system somewhere , you will have to plug in a Tech 2 to test the system & find the faulty component/s.

"ANT" is correct , you need Tech 2 to enable "Police Mode"

Whover told you that is a wanker!!! The cluster odometer chip is the only record , if you swap to another cluster the new one reads whatever was on it from the donor vehicle. You can use Tech 2 to zero any odometer fitted to the vehicle if it has under 100,000 klm on it , after that it will not...

Yes , I went through the same trouble trying to get HOLDEN Tech 2 Downloads from Delco USA. I heard you have to telephone them & get them to "Open" the Holden Download especially for you as you are about to plug your Tech 2 into their download centre (and pay the $1100 3 moth subscription.)...

GMH FE2 spring Part Numbers are identical front & rear for V6,V8,& S/Ch V6 Sedans. Part numbers are different in Wagons/Utes though.

I have never heard so much CR.P in my life! If GMH didnt want you to use the Automatic intermediate forward gears then they wouldnt have put them on the gear selector in the first place!! Like any machinery , as long as it isnt abused it will last a long long time. I have been driving GMH...
