    Coil packs 3ltr Sidi VE Commodore

    hi guys. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the removal of the inlet manifold is required to change the spark plugs and coil packs on a 3LTR SIDI engine? I know the 3.6ltr it is needed but not sure on the 3ltr. I’m trying to eliminate a misfire code which happens every few months. Cheers.

    Potential overheating problem

    If you hold mode and set together and then start your car, it goes into a diagnostic mode (or thats what I think it is). Then you cycle through the choices by pressing the mode button. Its really good, gives you all sorts of real time info including the coolant temp. Came in very handy....

    Thanks HSV 671. Done your trick last night on the way home in peak hour. On warming up the temp reached about 108deg the thermo must have opened and dropped to 93deg, then hovered around this for the rest of the trip.
