well have you thought that maybe, as the car was built before the new iPhone, just maybe, that Holden did not have the new iPhone 6 blewtooth software when they built your car? Just sayin, is all............. LOL its the little things that get overlooked Get Holden to upgrade the software...

I dont like anyone that wants to behead innocent people. WTF? call me ol fashioned, but, WTF is wrong with some people. You just can not do that, I suppose it comes down to how well educated and how people are brought up, also.. No we should not send our troops, nor should we allow people that...

VE SIDI BULLETPROOF? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Mate. i would have tossed that bedhead out the first time, I actually would have used it for firewood, then tell the buyer, sorry, it was damaged.

trade it in and get one built with an 8. It will already have the brakes, suspension, eng cert etc. you know what i mean?

LOL The missus drives our VY, we have had it since new. I have always changed the oil at 5000ks or less, 135thou on the clock and all the rocker/valve springs still look a Brass colour, no black carbon build up, I do the same on my VE SIDI 3.6, I change the oil inbetween dealer services, so...

WTF???? Chuck

Toyota corolla ones fit as well, I use a 1999 model corolla one, it is thin, fibreglass, I just cut it to size i wanted, put a little rubber cap on the end, top reception, better than stock. Now just to make the IQ system sound better, hmmmm

Normal idle on my S11 3.6 sidi is about 600rpm, but on cold start, yeah it revs at about 1100

Man chill. They sit off the windscreen ,lol As Cuda said, mine is the same

I think Bee stings belong on bees. Go and get a 1999-2000 model corolla antenna and cut it to size. It has same thread as the VE, probably most jap car antennas will fit It is a thin flexi solid fibreglass rod with a copper wire running up it, I also used one of my RC car antenna caps to top...

Its called the trim shoulder I believe

Pigz Pellets or no pellets, does not make a difference. Probably cleaner not using pellets from my recent experience

I just did mine too, along with all rad hoses and heater tap and hoses. New thermostat and serpentine belt and coolant, all flushed etc. My thermo housing is also weaping, I only used the gasket as I was advised not to use any goo stuff. Give it a month, it will form a nice crust and stop...

What Penrite OIL do you use? I use Castrol Edge normally, but last oil change Holden used Mobil 1 and it has only used 350mls in 3000ks When using the Castrol edge, it usually burns 1litre in 3000ks, and before the ECU upgrade

Your lucky

Yeah sounds like if you have lowered shocks, and stock springs, you may be topping out. Go to a suspension place and ask em

I want to do the same thing to my VY series 2 V6 with 135000ks, feels soooo soffffft in the front end, almost feels like it dips as you go around corners, never was like that I will be interested to find out how you went and which parts you used, and also how the end result feels. I got quoted...

I had this fixed under warranty soon after purchasing vehicle. What they did was yes install bigger pipes, but there is also this metal pipe section that runs accross the length of bottom of radiator, which was not there when it was stock. Looks a fair bit of piping, maybe your mechanic can...

Umm what about the type of petrol you use? E10 or Premium ULP?

I believe the VE's wheel nuts need to be torqued up with said wrench, I also noticed creaking after I had new tyres fitted and the arse was jacked off the ground. Maybe the chassis bends, you know, new cars and all, they are built sooooo strong........ pigsarz. Its been 2 months, still creaks in...

Bit hard to have the engine running, with the intake pipe off the TB. I cleaned out my T/B while it was on the car, my throttle was sticking as well. I also cleaned the IAC, just remember to put a rag around the T/B so as the **** that comes out does not stain your rocker covers. After the...

Actually it is not paper, it is white fluffy wool shite, that is supposed to be replaced every 45thou, yeah and cost 65 bux For an SV6 sportwagon SIDI that is.

Elite all the way, you need to order from the states???

Yeah The 3.6l SIDI is also much better of a mate with the 6 speed tranny, my bro has a 3l SIDI "Internati anal" and it is a bit up and down shift happy, compared to mine,m even in sport mode.

As Dayvo said, then use some Aerospace 303 protectant all over the dash, the stuff is amazing

Umm, what fuel do you use? I hope its not E10 crap? My SV6 wagon around town is around 14ltrs/100ks, but I fang it a bit, you know, manual mode etc. But on the freeway it is way better, like 8ltrs/100ks, average speed of 110km/hr I bet you use E10

what would the budget be? That is the deciding factor

SV6 Sportwagon sits on the same chassis as the SV6 sedan???? Check out the length of the SV6 sportwagon on the specs, you will find it is shorter than an Omega wagon etc

They have to use what is stated in the manual, so I would ask them, more than once, just so its confirmed, that they will be using 5W/30 grade. At least they will use full synth oil then.

Later on I found out from the previous owner that the fans were recently removed to do some work on the car The nob that did the work damaged the loom when he removed the fans Mate I would be worried about how long the previous owner drove around with this "little problem" Are you kidding...

Never had an issue with my one

Hi. I just got my first capped price service done, I made it clear to them that I only use FULL SYNTH 5W/30 as per the manufacturers spec, my invoice shows they used Mobil 1 5W/30. But who knows, unless you do it yourself or actually watch the guys fill er up. Still only cost me 220 I would be...

Umm. HUH?

Thanks abba Never heard of them. Probably have issue getting someone to fit them in sydney, they will probably try and rip me, cause they cant make their cut off supplying of shocks

OK, cool. So am on the right track with the GT Gas. As I said, it is the stock baby mobile for the missus, not high performance, but the original shocks seem stuffed, the car has done 135thousand kms. It really does not feel good on the front end at the moment as it is, the front dips badly...

Hey everyone. The missus's VY requires new front shocks. Have been quoted around 480 to install Munroe GT GAS, I think, including a wheel align. Are these shocks/price any good? It is a standard exec series 2 V6 I would love to get it to FE2 standard, i.e including springs etc, but too much...

I only use Yokohamas. have the C Drives on the VY and S221's on the VE sportwagon Just bought a pair for the rears of each car. C Drives 140 dolla fitted and balanced. 215/60/15 S221's 240 dolla fitted and balanced 245/45/18, normally 300 dolla Excellent in the wet, cornering, roundabouts...

yeah your lucky bro, no good about your damage, but, it looks like it can be fixed up good as new. Good work planting it in the rear, as opposed to sideways into the tree. :undead: if you know what I mean

Oh boy I bet you wish you could have had " words" :gun2: with the wnkr
