    I need some serious help ASAP - overheating -

    It would be the temp sensors job to send the signal to your dash, the thermostat opens up at a certain temperature range to allow the flow of coolant to keep the engine at optimal operating temperature. There are too many variables to take into account to say the sensor wasnt working, maybe...

    I need some serious help ASAP - overheating -

    Youve probably blown the radiator because of the thermostat sticking, hence the no coolant left. at this point radiator and thermostat should probably be replaced haha must be a weak point there as all my coolant came out the same area but radiator still looked good, but once I took it out you...

    I need some serious help ASAP - overheating -

    100% the exact same thing that happened to me (minus the checking everything scenario). would be fine at idle (probably due to no load on the engine) but overheat as soon as i started to drive, then go back down straight away. ended up being a sticking thermostat which built up pressure and...

    19 inch rims and super lows

    More than likely yes, depends on the car but my 245/40/19 scrubbed on the rear and I would not dare to put them on the front unless you want your guard ripped out from the inside

    vy interior question

    It will fit, but pretty sure the rears have holes for seatbelts where as the vy does not need them and it would look stupid haha also the rears will have a slight gap from the rear door to the seat, exposing some uncovered body, also looking stupid doorcards will fit as the stato, to my...

    VY L67 conversion, need help and guidence

    No, I was using that as an example that driving skill is not always defined by age. I said relative to others, relative being the main word there. Yes I would like to make it more powerful, if I didnt I would go back to owning a 4 cylinder golf again. But that does not mean I dont respect the...

    VY L67 conversion, need help and guidence

    VY L67 conversion, need help and guidence

    Hi all, As the title self explains, i am keen for an L67 conversion in my Vy spac. I've come across a engine with rebuilt top end and 10psi pulley, auto, ecu and loom out of a Vx Calais for $1200 so i figure that is a sort of reasonable price and incentive to buy and go ahead with the...

    HSV brakes vs. SS on VY's

    I agree, i have EBC green stuff pads with my slotted and dimple drilled rotors and they leave way too much dust, i end up needing to clean my wheels 3 times a week. Although they are a inprovement over stock, if i had the money (and maybe a v8 haha) id be putting it into a hsv upgrade...

    Your opinion for wheels on a VY

    I reckon the BBS's look really good for something different. have seen the other wheels around way too much. Genuine holden/Hsv would be the cleanest and best look though, on that note, where are the sigs? haha

    In victoria you will need a rwc to transfer, new laws may be coming in that you wont need to if the vehicle is less than 5 years old but thats another story. Your rights will be, once you pay and a reciept/contract has been written up by you or him about the terms and conditions of the sale...

    will a vz hbd steering wheel fit on a vy?

    The one i got didnt come with buttons so i just swapped them over from my old wheel, not too sure if the vy and vz radio controls are the same or not. was going to leave them off completely as my headunit is aftermarket and doesnt connect but there would have been a massive gap between the...

    yeah i made sure i didnt move anything i didnt need to. well the vz wheel went on with no worries, had the wheel locked when removing the bolt to make it easier and forgot so when i put it on again and lined it up it was off by a fair bit, so another 15 min and took it off and repositioned it...

    Hi all, I have a vy v6 and lately there has been a weird noise coming from the drivers side when the car is cold. Once the car has warmed up it goes away unless I rev it while its sitting in park or neutral. The noise can be discribed as a grinding rattle and cannot be heard from under the...
