hmmm interesting. i've actually got myself some radiator flush from supershit hahaha, i don't see a problem with it. i'll run it this weekend and clean it as best as possible, top it with coolant this time and see how it goes!

Oh right, sounds all good then.. thanks heaps for that.

It would've always had coolant in it as it's been left to the mechanic for the last 15 years, was literately slop before i flushed it and i only put water so i wasn't wasting coolant as i know there's an underlying problem.. isn't it meant to be run with green coolant as it's an iron block...

So i checked the coolant the other day and turns out it was full of brown sludge. I gave it a flush and just topped it with water and just after a half an hour drive it's all brown again.. i noticed when i dropped it to have a bit of a red tinge so I'm assuming its the trans cooler in the...

I know these threads have been done to death but just want to confirm a few things. So I had an issue with air locks recently but I'm 99% sure that's fixed. What the issue now is that when sitting in traffic the temp will rise upto half and even a tiny bit over. Turning the heater on or a...

Lol great way to fry your box

Okay turns out the heater started working out of the blue and everything was sweet, nothing is wrong with the tap. So I dropped it as it was only water and actually used coolant this time. Everything seemed fine, no issues for days. today coming home 5 minutes from my house it skyrockets from...

It was opened fully.. Tried again today no change. Must be a larger problem. Really frustrating

had it doing the same thigh over and over for a total of 45 minutes, surely nothing's gonna change, honestly think it's normal. I'm not having any problems apart from the heater. Could the tap be fkd? The hoses after the tap into the firewall aren't burning hot like the others. Even with the...

Hahaha let it go nuts for about 15 minutes, it seems to be improving ill continue letting it go, am I wanting it to not release any air pressure at all? Or just for the water to be constant? Appreciate the help guys

Here's a video of the bleeder screw open when the car's hot, does this mean there's still air in the system? I let this go for a while and nothing really changed Heater - YouTube

Yeah both top and bottom are burning hot, the 2 heater hoses coming out of the block are burning hot aswell, the 2 AFTER the heater tap only get mild warm, so I took one of them off flushed water through the tap, clean water came rushing out, so it is circulating through the tap all the way...

Nope, all hoses are hot. If I try flushing out the heating system does the engine have to be running? I was thinking undoing one of the heater hoses and running water down the radiator with my hand covering the block inlet where I remove the heater hose if that makes sense?

Was flushed by the mechanic about 12 months ago, since then it started building up oil in the system I got the inlet manifold gasket replaced on Friday and thought it would be a good idea for an oil change/coolant flush. Yeah the bottom hose gets hot, takes slightly longer though. I noticed the...

Drove the car and got it hot and re-bled it multiple times and then topped it up and still no heat. Pretty sure all the air is out, might just take it to a shop unless anyone's got an idea? The heater was working fine when I put in the flush and idled it for 20 minutes :/ On a side note, am...

I can see the tap opening and closing when changing hot-cold and the heater hoses in the bay are warm, not sure if I bled it on. I'll give it another shot I guess

Yep I turned it like half/full turn and it started bubbling out water so I assume it's bled? Or am I wrong?

All done and still no luck, when running and bleeding it obviously I've gotta put the cap back on and then let it cool before topping it up?

Yeah it's a v6, haven't really driven it, only got it up to operating temp a few times to test it. alrighty I'll start that right now and let you know, appreciate it :)

Hey guys, i recently flushed the system by just undoing the 2 main hoses and flushing the radiator, and then running the engine for a few minutes with the heater on while i had a garden hose where the thermostat goes and the bottom hose undone. Put everything back and filled it up then started...

Factory manual spacs come with the 3.08, and the getrag has shorter gears than the auto anyway, so no it's not gonna be anywhere near a slug, Personally I'd leave it.

alrighty, thanks for that. i'll grab those and give it a go this weekend :)

Hey guys, I'm losing about a liter of oil every 3,000 or so, the car's only done 150xxx and there's no leaks or burning signs although It's building up oil in the cooling system, hoping that's where it's all ending up so I'm going to change the inlet manifold gasket.. my question is if i...

Thanks for that, I'll give them a call in the new year. So yours is a v8 get rag and did it too? I'm sure the gen 3s don't do it do they?

Yeah every single one with a vt-vy I've asked does it. Where can I get this tune? So over it

Gave the throttle body a clean today, still doing it. Honestly think this is how they're meant to be which is stupid..

There's no error codes, and cable seems to be fine. I noticed if I back off the throttle and wait a few seconds before clutching it, the revs drop like they should. Surely they weren't designed like this?

Ever since I've had the car I've noticed when I clutch it the revs don't come down straight away, if I free rev in neutral it's fine. It's only between gears. Some people say it's normal although I recently drove a vs with a getrag and it doesn't do it at all. It feels so much nicer to shift...

well I originally did superglue it after I snapped one of the tabs, when I went to put it back in I split it in 4 hahha it didn't like me. Ah alright, well I may just go grab a new or second hand seatbelt unless anyone has had any luck with this 2 piece part? Thanks for that.

Hey guys, in an effort to try and fix my stuck seatbelt I managed to break this clip thingy. Now how on earth do you replace them? The seatbelt still isn't 100% anyway, but do they come with a new belt? Been trying to figure it out and it's doing my head in haha some guidance would be great.

Haha thanks guys, pliers did the trick. Was scared i was gonna break something, broken enough things on this car trying to fix things :p

I have a bit of slack in the pedal so I went to tighten the cable and can't seem to rotate one if the nuts? I've loosened the inside one and I can't get the outside one to snug up the bracket? What am I doing wrong haha it just doesn't turn, any help appreciated

did you ever get round to fixing it? my vx manual does the same thing, apparently it's normal and they all do it :(

spark plugs were changed recently and are still looking good, even the old ones looked fine it was just worn plugs there was no carbon build up. could warn/faulty leads/plugs cause you to burn more oil than usual? I've changed them both and haven't had enough time to notice oil loss yet. I've...

VZ S1 motor? VZ doesn't have S1/2 and they're not an ecotec :\

Hey guys, owned the car since jan @ 140,000kms and got it serviced pretty much right away, since then i've done about 4,000kms and have had to fill it up from the add line twice now. I've placed a piece of cardboard under the car when parked and haven't seen any leaks, surely it's not burning...

Where abouts did you mount the rear tweeters? And how's the bass from the type r componets?

Awesome. thanks for all the help, really appreciate it. Last question. Would you pick the 100w amp over a 150w?, like is 150 too much or doesn't it matter?

love a calais :P factory LSD aswell! wish they made the l67 in a manual.. i thought you could only get an exemption for the vt series 1 (listed as application required) all the other vt-vy s/c are classified as 'banned' on the vicroads site..? stupid laws, wish i could drive my parents vt 5.0...
