How do you remove the injectors from the rail? I'm a bit stuck here..

previous car to the one i own now. i owned a vz calais and now own a vz sv6.. same issue on the calais

thanks guys so i either have two options, to buy second hand injectors that are attatched to the fuel rail (which ive done previously and it worked a charm) ALSO come with 3 months warranty or to buy the injectors themself... what to do what to do..

does anyone know the steps to take (AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLD) to remove the fuel injector rails? need to replace some leaky injectors and this seems like the way to do it but just have no idea of what procautions to take...

I'm from SA? Is there any place down here that does that? I don't think it's a leaky injector purely because it's not throwing codes and it's not idling crazily out of whack just a tad

Hey guys I think I have a leaky injector as my fuel economy is sitting at 16.7L/100km I've done everything under the sun to help this and my mechanic advised me that it could be a leaky injector. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to replace them and can give me a step by step guide on the...

If it's a "misfire" then it's a plug or coil. I'm 99% sure it'll be one of your coils is damaged mate :)

Would that throw a powertrain error? Cause I never ever got one?

Hey guys. Lately I've been having huge trouble with my fuel economy. Today I was snooping around d the engine bay after I've recently done EVERYTHING to reduce my economy I've done all 02 sensorsz. Full service. Changed plugs and coils. Just about everything g but the fuel pump and filter (bit...

It's gone up to 16.3 :( this is ridiculous!! I got 100km out of just over a quarter. I really have no idea where to go now Plugs and coils have been done All 02 sensors have been done Full service. My next option is to do the fuel filter and fuel pump. Can this drastically effect...

50 around town and then there's spots that are 60kmh. I used to have a vz sv6 and it got way better consumption than this

I changed the fronts today, I'll go fuel up soon and reset the trip. What's people getting driving around town? A lot of start stop?

I did notice when I did the rear sensor the idle became better! But driving around town with a light foot I'm sitting at an average of 14.7L/100km is this about right? I think it's a bit high Should I get a tune?

I did the sensor just the other day. My impression was that extractors, cats and the exhaust itself should all improve fuel economy, not decrease it

Generally when you do the plugs you should change the coils also purely because it's a "big job" and while mechanics are there they reccomend changing them. I believe you should get these changed also.

So if I get someone with a tech2 to delete the rear sensors from the bcm my car should hopefully get better economy? Is that what you guys are saying. Just to throw this out there ever since I did the rear 02 sensor I haven't copped a powetrain error since

Hey guys turns out I'm in for a new compressor :( tried everything!! Regas, Tx Valve now were down to replacing the compressor... Anyone know where I can get a good one for cheap?

Also the 190kw vz has four O2 sensors two at the rear being 4 wire and the 2 up the front being 5 wire.

The plugs were changed on the 24th of December and same with the coils, I did one of the O2 sensors but I might change the two front ones too. They seem old, The cats are new and were put in October time so it should be all good but I'll look into it I think. But how do you know if the cats...

Have you ever had it scanned? Because if the check engine light keeps coming on I would go and get it scanned. Mine was the sensor and now it's gone and doesn't come back

Hey guys I got a vz calais 2004 but it's got the 2006 engine, it's got a full exhaust system from xforce going from headers to high flow cats and then the twin 2.5" Now recently I had a power train error and I found that one of my O2 sensors was gone bank 1 sensor 2 I replaced this...

Spark plugs and coils mate. Get them to change them. Or if it's not that fuel pump could be the issue...

Your compressor could be low on gas as the compressor doesn't engage to save itself from damage. The refrigerant acts as a lubricant for the inside parts. Get it gassed

Sounds like really thin oil I reccomend changing your oil and performing a full service Or it could be the alloytechs timing chain issue coming into play.

The pulley shuts and it all spins. There is DEFINITLEY gas in the system as I took it for a regas last week and it was vaccummed tested with no leaks!! I'm stumped and can't figure it out!! I even changed the relay but I have no idea

Hey guys I've got major issues with my compressor. First off I bought the car with the classic vaccum leak and it transferring to the demister. I was able to repair this with a new actuator.. And then unfortunately my air con was taking a long long time to cool down. So I got the system...

The problem lies with one of actuators. Generally the one on closest to the drivers area! What you have to do it open up the fuse bod, then there are two screws holding in the plastic kick panel. Once this is removed you will see a white plunger looking thing. It has an orange and pink...

And that guy is dreaming at 12k my vz HBD calais with 115thou is on the market for 10k

That demister problem is the classic calais actuator issue.! I have it in my calais and I have a vz I had the same in my vt calais. The problem lies underneath the dash with two actuators that are busted. In SA the actuators are about 60$ each then labour costs.

I've had heaps of ecotecs and two alloytechs. The performance is a LOT better in the alloytech, smoother, stiffer, more off the throttle but once it gets to the higher top speed, it's shocking. Dragged my mates ecotec and at the top speed he was pulling away like nothig As for reliability...

G'day guys, I'm kind of new to the forum and don't know much about cars. But loving the things and always wanting my cars to be PERFECT I'm on the fussy side. I just bought a VZ SV6 for 7.200 and everything goes great except for the brakes. They feel a bit hard to push and take a bit of...
