No problem with mine. Sometimes when I press it that lovely 6.2L V8 sound disappears though….

Hi All Been doing the suspension on the SV6 - keeping it stock so this isn’t a rant about the best aftermarket type - and some of the nuts and bolts are single use only according to the factory service manual. Understandable as they are torque to yield. Sway bar bushes were a similar story...

Hi mate. Hose was $246 From Holden dealer in qld. They did the job for me and I also made sure the receiver drier replaced $92.00. Total job was $840. Probably not the cheapest but in western qld in January…

Can probably see it with GDS2 and a MDI. The performance menu, when enabled, shows coolant temp. My SV6 will run anywhere from 85 - 107 degrees C depending on load. I have noticed the temp gauge doesn’t move though from its “normal” operating position hence the “dampening” of the data received...

All, FYI had mine repaired today. MY15 132,000km. Agree yes they should last longer. However the part number has subbed. Old = 92421092 New = 92511785 Hope this helps if anyone has to get it done.

Yep that’s why I replaced the cruise switch on mine. The rubber / plastic was coming off the toggle switch. Interesting re the back bolster. I just replaced the drivers seat back cover. GM had 75 in Melbourne.

I installed a MY14 nav mylink (has dvd player) into my non nav MY15 SV6. The donor vehicle was a ute. Using a MY14 calais vin I used it to program the mylink on the bench then changed the vin to my cars by using a eeprom reader. I also wanted a blue background hence using a Calais vin as I have...

Also the programming of the unit would be different between specification variants. For example I programmed mine for the SV6 sedan using the VIN for a Calais V Sedan. The Calais V must have a amp like the Redline and also a centre speaker in the middle of the dash as I kept getting a DTC for...

The cruise control switch on the steering wheel def is. Replaced mine and the box had on it made in China from memory.

Here's what it looks like fitted to a MY15 SV6 Sedan. The driving lights are the Holden accessory ones from the VE2 these have their own patch harness and with a little re routing of the harness will fit the VF as the main headlight connectors are the same between VE2 and VF. The holes are cut...

Yeah that’s interesting. I’ve got the ECB bull bar on my SV6 but it is a MY15. IIRC the Holden bar was only for the Evoke. I spoke to ECB a few months before I got my car and they sent me the installation instructions as I wanted to know what parts on the cars bumper are altered (cut) so I could...

Yep at those km’s I’d change it too. Especially coming into summer and you look like you’re towing.

Manual SV6 is a LSD. I get high 8’ to low 9 l/100km. Pretty 90% highway driving though.

Yep vinyl it is. Leatherette sure sounds better than “taxi pack inspired seat highlights”. IIRC Mercedes called theirs MB Tex in the 1990’s. Imagine jumping into a taxi in Berlin “Wow mate you’ve got a flash car MB Tex and all....”.

Hi Redland, I had exactly the same issue with my MY15 SV6 at like 3 months out of warranty I think. Looks like the same area too. And would you belive the identical same answer from Holden “wear and tear”. I begrudgingly accepted that explanation and purchased the genuine replacement cover and...

Hi Mate, I found two different part numbers. 2012 VE 92217322 2014 VF 92268315 It may fit not sure. There may be a difference in trim colour? Sorry don’t have a wagon but hope this helps.

My issues in 120,000. Radiator fail, satin finish on gear knob bubble, cover on top of instruments cover peeled away, evap purge solenoid failed, driver seat base cover “leather” cracked, front timing cover leaking . All but the purge solenoid covered under warranty.

My SV6 wouldn’t hold on a hill at one stage. Park brake needed adjustment. I think it was at around 70,000 km.

Dual tone horn?

Mine’s 685. It came off the line 16/10/17. GA SEQ is 3986.

Hi Mate, This sort of thing really pisses me off especially when there is a documented fix for the door rubbers. As Cuda says it’s important to lubricate the rubbers. Be “nice” and ask the dealer to reference # 18-H-009: Technical Information Bulletin - Side door seal and latch noise - (Mar...

Looks like mines a close relative. S/N 333685 same day Monday 16th Oct!

Hi Mate, I’ve only used a MDI 2 (the GM one) however if it can get the steering controller to go into calibration mode it MAY be ok. I can’t remember the protocol J19?? something but if it can communicate like that you may also be able to use it as a pass thru device with th GM TISWEB system for...

Hi Mate sounds like the oil life monitor. https://www.autoblog.com/2016/08/31/understanding-chevrolet-oil-life-monitor-olm-system-and-lights/

Yeah 2 x large tractor tyres and rims plus high 30 degrees temp rooted the torque converter. Still can’t figure out why....... Good dealer though. Got the tranny under warranty if we paid for fitment of the cooler. Luckily it had the update done beforehand with the locking dipstick so no fluid...

Yeah it’s great. Up the tyre pressures a little and can sit at 100km/hr comfortably. Get around 12.5l/100km towing the Jayco. The hitch makes all the difference. Being a manual top speed towing is 100 anyway and can’t go above 1600kg. Don’t think you would want to go faster anyway! Not sure why...

Hi Mate I tow a Jayco Flamingo with the SV6 and have the genuine distribution hitch fitted. The difference is chalk and cheese. I have a electric brake controller mounted in the battery area out of the way and there is a electrical connector in there to go into the vehicles wiring harness. Yeah...

Nah won’t be a ZC I’ve already got one of those as my bank balance can verify. Released years ago.......:D:D:D:D https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Vectra

Hi Mate, You can create a account here and pay US$20 for three days access to the Service Information section. You will find service bulletins there. https://www.acdelcotds.com/acdelco/action/home Not ideal as you need to pay for it but it’s a way to see them.

So the mylink display says “locked”? If so I would think the radio won’t work but air con will. Any vehicle settings most probably be as they were previously set or went back to default. Adjust the aircon and see if you can feel the changes in temp / flow etc. I would think the display is only...

Top marks MWB235! Looks like the rear compartment antenna:- Rear Compartment Antenna　 This antenna is located in the centre of the rear compartment metal floor pan, near the seatback.　 The rear compartment antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is...

No not at all

Without measuring yes I would say so.

Hi Mate mines a LS3 (3 months old) and moves like yours.

Yep my letter came yesterday. My version had no mention of a free service though. Rang to book it in and the service advisor said no worries we’ll do it at the 9 month 15000 service. So I said no way not this type of work. Anyway can’t get it booked in till parts arrive. Looks like a quiet...

Yeah mine due at the dealer next Monday or Tuesday. 3685 are the last four of mine mean’t to have been built on Monday 16th. Looking at a clip on youtube the last car was 3542. So yep vin numbers seem not to be sequential for actual build.

Agree 120%! Thanks for creating great cars, memories and the anticipation that alway came from waiting for the next New Aussie Built Commodore. My SSV Redline is due on the line this Monday it’s going to be more than a car to me. A lasting tribute to you guys. It’s a “keeper” and I’m looking...

Well done mate! Mines due on the line on the 16th of October.

Yep I remember when Mitsubishi closed down manufacturing here similar thing. Was sent a letter stating something to the effect that the Lancer will be great as a substiute for the 380! WTF I thought at the time what planet are they on they had no concept of the room in the 380 v's a bloody...

Yep don't touch any of that yellow harness especially without the battery disconnected it is as you say all the airbags and pre-tensioner wiring. May get a interesting bang if you do!
