I think the only thing to make it better would be to make it a bit longer and move the rear wheel and boot further back on the side shots because it looks like a Honda Civic or something. Front and back look ok though.

I used 4 allen keys because it was more sturdy than coat hanger wire which was the only other thing I could find at the time. This pic is a side view of the stereo, the black bit should be fixed to your car and the two circles are the clips (2 on each side of stereo) you need to push with the...

I have replaced the factory one. The important part is DO NOT CUT THE ORIGINAL LOOM -use an adapter. That way you set those specific settings you will loose how you want them before you remove the stereo. Then if you really want to change one of those settings later on you can just undo the...

Just curious as I am looking at upgrading from the VZ for which you can get the $300 tech 2s from China. Is this the device...

As per the title, do the VF commodores still use the Tech 2 computers?

Cool thanks for that! That's what I thought it might be but the one on the other side also did not have that rubber bit. Cheers!

Hi Anyone know what this rubber tube thing is and where it belongs? It came off when I removed the engine cover which you can see is off in this picture, it came from somewhere toward the front I think, flicked up then fell down to the ground. The engine is a 190kw version. I looked...

What dash cam do you have?

Thanks for the replies.

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the Headlight Switch Do you remove the two screws (red arrows) then the plastic surround (blue line) will just come out? Then you can push the switch out from the rear? Also is it easy enough to replace the LEDs with a soldering iron or better to just...

I put this up a little while ago, maybe it will be of some help to you. Let me know http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/240475-fuel-filter-replacement-pictures.html

Manual says 5W30 or 10W30

Isn't it an old police car? As the plate says VY P/CAR.

I thought I would make a quick post on changing the fuel filter with a few pictures as well since there doesn't seem to be any threads anywhere with pictures. Hopefully it will be of use to someone and save yourself some coin by doing the job at home. Also do this at your own risk, If you...

Can you clear codes with this set-up?

Does this mean it will be a future model in Australia Chevrolet Camaro - Concept Cars

You can tell when its done as it gets a whirlpool type effect in the filler cap once all bled.

I have the 190 in an SV6. I tried over decent periods of time running the different fuels. I found 95 to get the most km/l and stuff all difference with the 98. 91 isn't quite as economical as the 95 but when you factor the difference in price compared to fuel used, its actually cheaper to run...

How many Km's has the car done? If your brave enough just service it yourself, you can find most info on this site or get a manual that will tell you how to do most things.

I do this as well but also leave the filler cap off until you see a whirlpool effect in it, then you know its all bled.

The GPS went in where the storage compartment with the spring door thing is under the stereo. I believe you can remove that compartment and replace it with the GPS fitting.

In the VZ V6 what is the OBDII protocol? is it CAN bus or non-CAN bus?

keep your factory stereo too, there are some settings you can only adjust when that is connected to the car (for that reason use an adapter to connect the new stereo rather than cutting the wires already there)

What fluid do you use for the 5 speed auto? DEXRON III or DEXRON VI?

I suggest reconnect the original harness then use an adapter. Seems that with the adapters most people have to switch the yellow and red wires eg. red wire from stereo connect to the yellow on harness adapter. (that method worked fine in my car)

Do you disconnect the battery before you start doing this, or only after you have replaced the sensor?

Anyone have any recommendations? Also can you only get the rear wheels done? My last set of tyres the fronts have worn very evenly although the rears have both worn much more on the inside.

Mine had 130 odd thousand kms and over about 6 months I had to replace water pump, radiator and heater tap.

Why don't you read your manual and put the correct viscosity oil in it??? Then it may not make strange noises.

Mate check your PMs

your car is 9 years old and you never changed the air filter?? wtf......

V6? Cooling system (eg. heater tap, water pump) tends to **** itself around 120-130,000km I've replaced those and the radiator. Lot's of people say the engines are prone to sludging too if not regularly serviced.

I just bought a GM fuel filter for $20, so they are charging you $50 for 10 mins of work or $300/hr.

Here is the video of the 5 speed, two parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tno0NfJmsSo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUFUeV71us

is it a 4 or 5 speed auto? there is a video of how to change the transmission fluid/filter on youtube for the 5 speed.

Thanks guys

VZ spare wheel tyre diameter is not the same as the other 4 tyres (not a small space saver either) If this is on the rear wheel is it at all bad for the LSD Diff, or is it ok for a certain amount of Km's etc??

Doesn't the car as standard advance/retard the timing anyway to adjust for different octane fuels????

^^^^What a 'tard!!
