    Heater switch replacement

    Heater tap is a easy job, undo the 4 odd heater hoses plus a vacuum line and unclip it from the holder. Then top up or flush the cooling system and bleed it.

    Heater switch replacement

    If its the heater tap, piss easy. Although im not sure how having the heater on could cause the car to overheat. Unless you are saying its just water causing to leak out via the heater tap, and then the sensor in the coolant tank setting off the alarm?

    VT sII stolen NRMA CLAIM PROBLEMS

    I can assure you any insurer wont give a rats about what running gear is in the car, they will just send it off to auction and some wrecker will then sell bits off to make money. If the car is worth more to you, cancel the claim, fix it and insure it for the right amount.

    Has it been taken for a joyride and smashed up? Pretty hard to do with a intact ignition barrel. Do you have both sets of keys? They will want that.

    VT Acclaim dash lights come on and off for no obvious reason

    Just means the traction control, abs and some gauges on the dash won't work when the lights are on. There is a couple of guys here in Australia who fix the units. Might be worthwhile getting one sent over as I can imagine a new unit would cost an arm and a leg.

    Changing VT Disc Pads - Is There An Easy Way To Do It?

    I didnt think changing the pads on a VT/VX was much different to that of a VS. Ive changed the pads in my previous VS ute and now VX and there is virtually not much difference at all?

    Help needed :Battery goes flat overnight.

    If the alternator is working correctly, put the multimeter on amps and connect it in series and see what the drain is (making sure ignition is off and doors are closed). that will then tell you if you have something draining the battery or not.

    Another air cond question

    Took it to a auto electrician and they believe the compressor has had it :( V8 compressors are more than V6 ones

    Another air cond question

    Heater tap is relatively new and the HVAC control is working fine, I pulled the dash facia off to check the rod was working ok. I can hear the magnetic clutch on the compressor engage but it doesnt cool the air. The AC lines going from the compressor to the evaporator arent cool when the AC is...

    Another air cond question

    Hi all, Just noticed today that the a/c in the VX is not cooling. Last used about a month or so ago with no issues and it was icy cold. The a/c light is on, and I can hear the compressor clutch engage, but there is no cool air. If the system was low, should the compressor clutch still...

    Help to pinpoint coolant leak on ls1

    A pressure test just places the system under pressure so any leaks show up. Are you running the car to operating temp and then as its idling check to see if there are visible leaks?

    Help to pinpoint coolant leak on ls1

    Check the end tanks of the radiator too. If its a small leak, then there should be some white marks to indicate the dried coolant in the area.

    Piston slap or lifters

    Yeah the noise goes away after about 3-5 minutes of driving. Its just pretty noticeable at startup when cold. Is it worthwhile checking the lifters / replacing them?

    Piston slap or lifters

    Since my last oil change, and possibly even before, I cant remember, my LS1 has had a ticking noise in it. Its done around 235,00km and previously I was using Penrite 5W-40. I decided to change the oil in the LS1 and used Castrol Magnatec. The cold start noise is still there so Im guessing...

    Need some help with my VT

    Spray water on the belts, if it quietens up, then replace the serpentine or a/c belt. I had a slight squeal in mine. Replaced it with a Repco one, still made the noise. All signs still pointed to the belt, so I got a Dayco one and the noise went away.

    Radiator Cap

    If cap is not doing its job and keeping the system pressurized, coolant temp will get higher and then boil and spew out the overflow.

    VX Headlight is all crusty/cloudy

    Just tried cleaning mine up and its started to come up ok. Im going to try polishing it further using plastic polish and a polishing pad attached to a drill. Brasso seems to work good to. I would rather try and clean my lens up before buying the ebay lights, unless they are genuine.

    New Replacement Keys

    I got some replacement buttons for my set and they have stayed put in their place for the past 6 months. Make sure you get all of the old rubber out for the new key buttons to sit in correctly.

    overheating

    If the fan kicks in around the half way - two thirds mark and then cools it down then thats normal, for idle. When you are driving and there is air flow cooling the radiator then the car temp should remain more consistent.

    AC temprature at the vent

    Is that at idle or with the car moving? I guess with no extra air circulation and cooling of the condensor, at idle it should be slightly higher? Had mine regassed yesterday and we're in for a high 20's temp today so I will check out the temps.

    AC temprature at the vent

    Yeah I'll get the gas pressures checked and dye added and go from there. My old VS ute had temps at the vents of around 3-6 degrees so it is definitely a bit high on this. Will get it checked out and go from there. Hopefully regassing it doesnt put extra pressure on the rest of the air cond...

    AC temprature at the vent

    Just seeing if I need a regas on my VX. The air cond temp fluctuates between 10-13 degrees which seems a bit high. I had a old Corolla which used to sit at around 3-5 degrees! Are there any other common problems with the VX air cond system, such as TX valve, compressor etc? Or should I...
