Maybe? In the VY, the clusters are programmed by Tech2, so a V8 cluster can be used in a V6 provided the cluster is programmed by Tech2 at...

Yes, it is normal! Commodores have done that for years now. My VYII sure did, and I think my VSII did also. Rationale is that you only put...

Boot Outlet? I did the front and rear smokers pack in an MY09 SV6 manual so that we would have sufficient power sources. Cost me $104 from a...

Genuine! I bought the genuine part from Holden, which came with an umbrella. It cost me $140, which was a significant discount I believe. My...
Handbook Advice? Check your owners manual. I think is it similar to the Ecotech advice, which is reprinted below: Running-in These days,...
5% I believe that about 5% of V6's were manual. Most of those would have been S models. I used to have one before the VE SV6. The Ecotech...
Could be the way that he is driving it, but his driving profile is much less severe than mine. He drives about 25 Km rural roads to work and back...
Distance/Time/Distance I would say it took me about 2 seconds. Take it by steps and it is unbelievably simple.
One deal! Hi, I lent a $3K GM Card rebate to a friend. He ordered an SV6 ute months ago when the price was something less than advertised now...

Not a problem for me! I've been driving manual Commodores (VL, VSII, VYII and VE MY09) and F**ds (XD and EAII) since 1980. My current MY09 SV6...
80 or 73L In the VS, Holden "changed" the fuel tank capacities from 63/80 to 59/73. However, the tanks were the same. The original figures...
Contrary Advice! I once had a friend who had a used car yard. I always found out that he was spot on with his advice, be it regarding specific...
Same Tank, But! The official fuel tank quantity for the VS sedans (except for some V8 and luxury models) was 59L. Earlier Commdores had a 63L...
IRS/Live Axle! Step number one is to realise that the tanks differ between those vehicles fitted with IRS and those with the live axle. To...
Guinea Pig? Hi Phreddy, I live out Penrith way, and have found the red SV6 instrument lighting unusable. Part of my problem is the 59 year...

But does change odometer accuracy. If you read my post, I was referring to the tyre size affecting odometer accuracy, which it will do. My...
Good Idea! My SV6 also has a speedo error of 4 KPH through the normal speed range. Seems to be programmed in, probably to "help" drivers avoid...
