    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    Dealer wont argue that one - either replace connector or new rack. Ive found holden great with warrantable items. I had a slight clunk in my VF SSV rack. Took it straight it and they replaced the rack next day.

    Entire steering rack replaced

    I noticed my 2014 SSV had what i would describe as a clunk in the front right wheel area, whenever changing direction at really low speed. Sitting with the car started in park, wiggling the steering wheel produced it every time. I took it in to Holden and when i picked it up they informed me...

    Hey mate, yes they definitely did overcome that issue. They didnt drone or boom. I used to have a catback on my VE SS and it droned something shocking so i was very careful about selecting exhaust for my VF. Unfortunately i can't show them to you as i sold them. I got rid of them as, while...

    Range Technology Plugin AFM Disabler

    So in the interests of A) Not getting a tune and chucking away 2.5 years of my warranty and B) Removing the sound of the car coming in out and of AFM all the time (I don't get drone, just the sound of AFM going on/off shits me), I've ordered one of these. Will post up review once it arrives.

    Rapid Exhaust's Mufflers for SSV Auto

    Flukey - I'm in Mooroolbark I took a quick pic and video the other night to give an idea of look and sound. http://vid1341.photobucket.com/albums/o748/whitey5759/20150302_193442_001_zpsvxlqx6mz.mp4 http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o748/whitey5759/20150302_193110_zps5tp35sug.jpg

    VF Random chat thread

    Yeah it comes on in sports mode if you do a few full/close to full throttle bursts (its like sports+ but you engage by throttle behavior). From what I remember it does as you said: makes the trans hold gears longer and auto change down into lower gear keeping up high revs when you jump off the...

    VF SSV redline 6.0 pinging?

    I will be very interested to hear the outcome. I have the same issue with my VF SSV. I reported the noise within a few thousand kms, even had a holden dealer send a mechanic out with me. They told me they believed they heard it and its a noise echoing in the exhaust as a result of, and I quote...

    Oil change before 15,000kms?

    I was surprised to read that the first oil change for my VF SSV doesn't happen until 15,000kms! Am I just a dinosaur living in the past thinking that, now I've hit 3000kms I should drop and change the oil and filter myself? What have other VF owners done/thoughts?

    Service ESP on dashboard DAFEKK?

    I had this happen to me, but it was because I'd forgotten to reconnect the MAF plug after installing new headlight globes. Maybe reseat yours and see if it helps. No idea why disconnected MAF causes ESP error but it does!

    Which HSVi HF-20s are these?

    Those are the same wheels I've bought mate, forged HF20s. Unfortunately thay exact orange (metallic) was only on the concept car. The orange they have available to buy (fantale) isnt metallic, its a flat colour to look at. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Hi guys, I just put a deposit down on a new VF SS-V Auto in Prussian Steel. I optioned the HF-20 forged alloy wheels, but forgot to pick which colour. This car on Carsales has the exact wheels I want. They are HF-20s too, but I cannot work out which colour they are. Are they...

    Fan belt squeal everything new

    VZ squeaking drive belt solution

    See I have this same problem but replacing the belt 3 times has done nothing. However when I squirt a silicon spray just onto the belt the problem goes away, and then promptly comes back the next day. It's gotten to the point where, just to get some peace and quiet, I've covered the whole belt...

    Massive chip

    I had that happen on my dark green VS - it had a deep chip in the front middle of the bonnet and that, combined with pointing the high pressure hose directly at the chip caused a big chunk of paint to lift and fly off!
