    2017 SV6 transmission issue

    Hi all I have a 2017 SV6 with 6 speed auto. Recently have had dramas when putting into drive. Comes up on dash that car is in D, but when try to accelerate it is like it stays in neutral. Then with a heavy clunk goes into gear. If I shift into sports mode it goes straight into gear. I still...

    VZ Oil Pressure

    Before the timing chain was replaced it was coming up with low oil. The mechanic that worked on it claims it has low oil pressure from him using the gauge. He claims he put a camera in the sump and found no problems. It did have a sludge problem when we bought it but was apparently cleaned out...

    VZ Oil Pressure

    Hi all, Need help with a problem with my 05 VZ V6 Alloytec. Just had timing chain and guides replaced and now I have no oil pressure. No oil seems to be getting to top of motor. Been at the mechanics for 2 months and they can't find the problem. The pick up works ok. Pump is ok. Lifters...

    Key not working

    My key doesn't even have boot release. My local holden dealer wants $100 to give me the code for the key, then another $75 from locksmith to make new key. Is there a way to bypass the immobiliser as the car is at work and at 78km from home will be way to expensive to tow!

    Key not working

    My key looks different to that. Only has one button to lock and unlock car. The battery sits in its slot with a bit that holds it down. No solders or wires at all.

    Key not working

    Yes the key is currently apart. The battery is not soldered to the points. Comes out easily. Could this be part of the problem. How can I get the code for the key. Do I need to contact Holden to get this?

    Key not working

    Has key reader and point on key. The bloke I bought car from broke key apart. The contact point moves but still connects.

    Key not working

    My 93 VR acclaim won't start. The button for immobiliser is broken and now the car won't start. I tried sparking the starter and it turns but still won't start. I think the key isn't allowing the immobiliser to switch off so there fore the car won't start. What is the most cost free way of...

    Over heating problem

    hi all, I have a 93 VR V6 auto. The bloke I bought it from cooked it pretty bad. I have redone top end with new gaskets etc. I flushed radiator, and replaced hoses. She now runs really well except that the temperature will rise to almost hot then drop back to normal and continuing to do this...

    Thoughts on 07 VE Calais

    Holden quoted me minimum $3500. Got the kit quoted at $730 - $1900. Found a mechanic yesterday who said whole job $2500 parts + labour. He has done quite a few now. Will have car back on road in 2 days. Thanks for the feedback guys.

    Thoughts on 07 VE Calais

    Car itself is still in good condition. Done 120k. Still under finance! Sentimental to the missus. Had quotes from Holden and a few different mechanics. Most dont want to touch it. Some say engine swap, some say not worth it.

    Thoughts on 07 VE Calais

    Hi guys, Just after some thoughts. I have a 07 VE Calais series 1. The timing chain has stretched and car off road. I have been quoted between $3500 and $5000 to fix. I can get a after market kit for around $800, just not sure if any other damage. Is it worth fixing? Should I put an LS1 in...

    VT won't start after putting in new motor

    All the fuses are ok. The starter relay clicks when I turn the key. I am using the original starter as it was fine on the old motor.

    VT won't start after putting in new motor

    Hi all, I have replaced the engine in my 99 series II VT with an identical motor. I used the original wiring loom and have double checked that everything is hooked up. It won't start or even crank over when I turn the key. I get all reds on my dash, the fuel pump works and everything else...

    Big end - options

    Car still good, gearbox good. V6 with 270k on it. Don't wish to burn it, don't fish, no cliffs near by, already got job. How much would a 2nd hand or exchange cost in QLD.

    Oil pressure vt

    Is it possible it could be a blockage? I drained the oil and replaced the filter but still the same. Is it worth doing a flush?

    Oil pressure vt

    Hi all. Does anyone know what it means when oil pressure light keeps coming on? The car has lost power and sounds "dry". I changed the sensor but no change. It has plenty of oil and is still golden in colour.
