    VE Front Brake Caliper Anti-Rattle clips

    Silly question, i need to order new Shims (anti-rattle clips) as I removed them and bent the metal tab that sticks out. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/225043231097?hash=item34659f3179:g:7UgAAOSwcBJdZ3df Not sure why i was confused last time I had the pads off, the shim has a a metal tab sticking...

    Heated Seat aren't very hot - Can they be made hotter?

    Well that's what I want or expected when set to high. That's how my merc is when on high. I'll have to sit in another vf calais and see how there heated seats feel. If mines faulty I'll want them fixed otherwise I might as well have gotten a ssv lol. Heated seats was one of the selling points of...

    Heated Seat aren't very hot - Can they be made hotter?

    I tried searching the threads but couldn't find anything but good things about the VF Calais V heated seats. People saying they're very warm/hot and are happy with them. To be honest I can hardly feel mine (driver's seat and passenger's seat). Is anybody else got the same issue? Is there a way...

    What will you buy?

    I was tossing up between CapriceV, CalaisV and Redline... decided to go the CalaisV .. maybe that's an option for you too.

    Front Left Brake Issue

    Thanks, company sent me out 4 new pads. So driver said is now working as it should be and my rotor seems fine. The pistons did hit the tabs and started to grind them down. interesting for couple mm's it didn't miss. I think these pads suit a range of calipers, so they are most likely to suit...

    Front Left Brake Issue

    Sorry to bring up an old thread. But I am having the same issue on my VF. My driver side caliper is sticking and i have replaced the caliper. I noticed pads i received were wrong. 3 outta and 1 inner. I have spent so many hours on this and finally noticed it was that and confirmed with few other...

    Fuel Slosh Sound

    They did not charge me anything. I had my car in for the Electric Power Steering recall and it failed while they were testing driving it. To be honest a fuel pump should not fail on a 4-5 year old car with only 90K on the clock. So I'm glad Holden just approved it to be replaced under Goodwill...

    Fuel Slosh Sound

    Okay interesting. I will put my wife in the boot to record the sound. Just to confirm with you guys its normal.

    Fuel Slosh Sound

    Hey guys, Tried doing a search but couldn't find much on the issue. I was parallel parking this morning and every time I braked I could hear the fuel slosh back and fourth and bit of a thump. Don't think it's always been like that since I have the music up and never noticed. But this morning...

    VF Key Fob Battery Replacement Instructions?

    Bringing up an old thread, don't want to start a new one. My car wouldn't start, kept cranking. I inserted the fob in the center console slot and it started. Engine light was also on (as well as my change oil msg soon, kept forgetting to reset it). I pulled the key out and tried to start and...

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    Okay fair enough. Makes sense.

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    When all 8 injectors get replaced.... do they re tune the ECU or does the computer self learn?

    Calais 6ltr fuel

    Standard motor. I put 95 too. As Milo 6.0 mentioned, owner manual mentions it'll have slightly less power running 91. I wouldn't put 91 in it.

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    Holden dealership called me. They got approval to replace all 8 under warranty which is great :)

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    2015 VF Calais S1 Sadan / MY2015 Build Date: 30/04/2015 90,659km on clock when "Service ESP" came up. At Barry Bourke Holden - Berwick Dealership now. Found 1 faulty injector. Sent off email trying to get all 8 replaced for me. Not sure if it had a injector fault in the past. Only owned this...

    Remote start and seat heaters...

    Would it be possible to make them stronger/hotter?

    Remote start and seat heaters...

    hahaha, yeah the misses keeps it on level 3 every drive.. enjoys the punishment... i think it's longer then 5 mins before it goes a level down as i look over after 10-15mins and hers is still on level 3. she must be putting it back up to level 3 again lol. Well it defiantly feels longer. I'll...

    Remote start and seat heaters...

    Yeah not very impressive. I have tried few other cars and they all seem to be similar. Nothing compares to our CLA200 and my friends C200 heated seats. On 3 you have to turn them down its way to hot. Haven't been in a Astra yet, sound like they get as hot as the merc's do

    Remote start and seat heaters...

    I read the manual and it said if the temp is below 10c the heated seats will turn on (if setting selected) but the lights will not come on the button. Once you get in and press the start button the rest of the car boots up and the heated seats turn off. You will need to turn them on again...

    Vibrating only in 5th geat at 100ks, but no other gear

    Hey Rambunctious, Thanks for reply. No it doesn't feel like it's coming and going,, once i'm around 100ks its just vibrating/shaky and makes a vibrating noise. The clubby is nearly at 300,000ks I might just do the engine and gearbox mounts now that i think about it. They probs have never been...

    Vibrating only in 5th geat at 100ks, but no other gear

    Hey guys, Quick question, maybe somebody has experienced this. I have had my wheels balanced and alignment done a few times during the time I have owned my VY. But ever since I purchased it, when traveling on free way at 100ks in 5th gear my car vibrates. If I decelerate to 80ks or accelerate...

    How can a Alternator Rotor Shaft Snap

    The alternator guy is dodgy yeah. I called my mechanic early in the morning and asked if he could have it fixed that day as I needed my car. So he went and sourced an alternator from the guy across the road. So maybe not enough time to get or order a brand new one :/ I'm not sure. I spoke to...

    How can a Alternator Rotor Shaft Snap

    Okay that's good to know. He mentioned he put in a later model alternator off a newer V8. So hopefully it has this clutch pulley so I don't get this issue again. I to believe it's a poor rebuild as well. If i wasn't in such a hurry to get my car back on the road I would of shopped around for a...

    How can a Alternator Rotor Shaft Snap

    Hahaha I tried explaining to him what he is saying makes no sense. But he was so sure of it and told me not to come back if the same problem happens as he will not replace it under warranty again. I told him that's fine, I didn't pay him I paid the other guy (mechanic) across the road. He...

    How can a Alternator Rotor Shaft Snap

    To be honest I have no idea, maybe somebody here can answer that. If it doesn't get replaced then from all the years of vibrations and use it could of weakened the shaft and caused it to snap!

    How can a Alternator Rotor Shaft Snap

    Hi, I need some advice please. I have just replaced my alternator with a rebuilt one with genuine parts (apparently). After 4 days of driving the rotor shaft on the alternator had snapped. Could somebody please explain how such a thing can happen? I returned my car back to the mechanics, on a...
