Hi All. Anyone know any issues with the VY Fuel Gauge. Been playing up for a while now. Low level light comes on at 55 litres from a 75 litre tank. Done it three times now. Filled up and only took 55lt on each occasion. At this stage only getting 380 km to 55lt around town before light comes on...

Hi All. Can someone please tell me what the differences are between a standard LS1 (235-260kw) and 285kw Clubsport LS1?? Need to do a engine swap as I've worked out it's cheaper to get a low k motor, but needing info of these engines. Currently got the factory 285 version with 241 heads in my...

Chuck a scan tool over it for your light. Replace both fan relays. they stick on.

I had a XRay Vison by Britax. New kit did same. It was the kits harness that was faulty. Swapped out the harness.

Ok ill go genuine oil filter. Think I've worked it out. Had a spare Ryco Z160 which is on there now. Pushed the valve down on the spare one and it was stiff as buggery. Seems like it will push down after oil pressure is up enough. Looks like the Ryco has an issue. Seems like it's sucking the...

Water pump O Rings/Rubber Gasket. They crack and perish. Just did mine. Leaks out bottom of pump, runs down front block around h/b and onto the sump.

As Aussieakito said. Common fault. Replace this first. Has it been hardwired to be on constantly? The tune should not have modified the fans, although it can be done. Factory Vy Ls1 settings. Both Fans should switch on low speed (6volt) at 99℃ then Switch off at 94℃. High speed (12volt) on at...

No oil lights ever

Currently using Penrite HPR 10W40 Fully Synthetic. Mainly Ticking on startup for 3 seconds at last cylinder, passenger side firewall, whatever that cylinder# is. Engine has 250,000kms. Every 5000 oil change with filter n sometimes lifter free. Not sure if the rest of the engine would handle a...

Hi all. Who knows about these LS1 oil pumps? Do they fail, how and are they hard to replace? It's ticking when first cranked until oil reaches the top. About 3 seconds. Should I get a oil pressure test done? I heard the 2 o rings let go and loose some pressure. Doesn't do it all the time...

Had same issue with my LS1 clubby. High rough idle, engine light comes on, Trac goes to off, happened more when slowing down or lifting off accelerator pedal. Turned ignition off, open drivers door, restart car, all good till I slowed or hit the brake. Abs, and traction control is linked to the...

That shudder is common. it's due to the size of the steering hoses. Holden replaced with bigger diameter units. Should only happen intermittently. Problem arises when too much feed into steering wheel and not enough fluid circulation.

Bush buggerd

Are they all the same tyre

Key passcode will be on a sticker that is attached to the security module, straight under the dash.

Hey VY 777 The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted in the right rear of the engine block behind the starter. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 24X reluctor wheel mounted on the rear of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor has a battery power supply, an earth, and a signal circuit...

Where abouts on the tyre and how is it worn? FE2 is one step lower than factory height. Your standard height rear camber adjustment is +- 1.5? degrees of adjustment? The Lower the ride the bigger the degree kit needed. I'd say one side might be flogged out a little more? Strange at 80k...

Worn bushes

Did you bleed the air out of the system if its a v6? This must be done

Relay faulty

IAC faulty.

Yes get genuine. I had problem with my LS1 TPS. replaced with eBay unit, ran worse, old part went back in, saved up for a genuine part, no worries, runs better, performs better.

Try checking all of your ecu relays and fuses in cabin and engine bay and your battery connections. Also check your fuel system electrics. It's going to be either fuel/intake or electrical. Did the check engine lamp come on?

Only fill point is the reservoir. Get a pressure and head check, they can do this via the coolant/water. Pressure check system to find leaks, head check will check exhaust vapours in coolant for possible cracked head. Then get a new radiator. Also don't mix different colour coolants. Good luck.

Hi all. How do I drain the evaporator pipe. It still evacuates down through pipe, but sometimes leaks into the drivers and passengers footwell when turning left or right and it's a cold clear drip, so I suspect a small blockage..... Also the blower fan seems to be slightly slower on all...

sounds like the software needs recoding. take it to dealer for this.

Check your rubber uni joints. They're probably worn

There are 4 different colours, check what you have and get it from ashdowns.

Same problem as OP. Replace your valve in the compressor. Common problem.

Ok Thank you for your replies. I'll be taking it to jax somewhere. I'm not going back to ol mate.

Hi all. Just recently replaced two rack ends and a wheel alignment. After receiving car back, they said they had to remove rack from car to fit these ends...... After the wheel alignment the car slightly pulls left and the steering wheel is pointing to 11 o'clock. Could they not have had the...

Steve, ABS, TRACTION, LCD FLASHES and POWER will be all to do with your Throttle Position Sensor not working properly. It won't be brakes, it will be electrical. Chuck a scan tool on it. As for your radio, temp gauge and air con "X" this will be your battery, how old is your battery? It took me...

My VY Clubsport manual won't go past 215 either. Completely stock.

Yeah me too, would be nice to have it working as it should.

Original key sounds like it went flat. Has he had the new keys coded? There is a metal tab coming out from the old key head contacting the metal keyway. Is that broken, or rusty? Service won't stop it from starting, it will be a BCM to key security issue. Is there a flashing red padlock light in...

Yeah same problem here.

Sounds like an auto computer problem holding 2nd. Probably gets stuck in limp mode setting at cruising speed. Change/swap out your Auto computer module or ...... probably get it retuned...

Valve body or 2nd gear solenoid... sticky or stuck.

"The Workaround Not to rev it out Turn off the car and turn it back on and all is good revs' go back to normal." Yeah I had this issue with mine. Unstable idle and shaking car like it was missing bad, throwing the Traction control to off and was extremely low on power, not to mention fuel...

Ok, is it a 6 or 8 cylinder. I'm going to assume it's an auto... Is there a " check engine " light on the LCD, whether intermittent with a chime or check lamp staying on. Have you replaced anything so far. I've been through similar problems with my Clubby. I may be able to help you.
