From what I've read here and other forums, the software fix just makes the tolerances wider/more lenient so the computer won't complain as much. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Would a presale inspection pick up these chain problems? Thanks Edit: is the sludge problem related to the timing chain?

just saw an ad for a 2012 VE series2 and the chain has been replaced? I thought these were fixed in later/SIDI models? Thanks

the model year is 2012 and it has around 140K Kms. Thanks ps. I will have properly inspected after checking it out first. edit1: just saw an ad for a 2011 VE series2 and the chain has been replaced? I thought these were fixed in later/SIDI models?

so I hardwired an AUX cable to the headunit using this guide. It's working fine and I've tried multiple devices ranging from Samsung Galaxy S2/S3, iPhone 4s/6S+. I've recently acquired an LG G3 as my main gym music player (easier to manage music files on Android) and I find the AUX hardly...

if I were to put high bulbs on the low-beam projector, how is it any better than using high beams all the time? is it because of the "cut-off" nature of the projector?

thanks everyone! :)

any link on how to do the mod? also according to Narva, the projector lights uses H11. are you sure it's h9? thanks! :)

1 bulb has blown and needs replacing. ------------------------------- also I'm thinking of using HID kits. Any suggestion kit? Any pointers on what to get? I looked at ebay and I've seen Max Vision AUS on other forums in the past. not sure if they're good or not. Thanks a lot! :)

I got a 06 Calais and the door trim is peeling off. I thought it was painted but apparently it's just a sticker. Any ideas on how to fix it? The first thing that comes to mind super glue but perhaps there's a better/cleaner alternative? thanks! :)

Hello. I just noticed the sunroof on the VZ won't close/seal properly. It was fine a week ago but I noticed the motor/mechanism is bringing the glass cover a bit lower than normal thus reason for the issue. Any ideas on how to fix it? thanks a lot!

So I bought load resistors so I can use LED bulbs. I just looked at the bulb socket and it seems there are 2x + terminals and 1x - terminal. Do I clipped 1 side of the resistor on both + terminals and the other on the negative or clipping on 1 + terminal is good enough? I'm thinking only 1...

anyway, got it installed. I sawed off the unused antenna connector. working nicely now! :)

so I've soldered the cables, but I cannot push back the headunit in place. I had the cable come out like in the thelug guide and close to the bottom antenna socket. still no go. thanks again! :)

anyone have any ideas on how to route the cable from the front towards the arm rest? thanks! :)

So I wanna perform this "hack" on my headunit.. I'm thinking of having the mini-stereo plug come out near the arm rest so I'm thinking I need to remove the centre console (the one with the window controls) at least. some questions/help needed: 1. Any ideas what other trims do I need to...

So I bought a pair of red LED brake lights which are supposedly "CANBUS" compatible. Any time I turn on my headlights, I get ESP error on the dashboard. option1: Are there LED bulbs which I can use that does not require a load resistor? if yes, link please? option2: If I were to use a load...

any thoughts on using red LEDs for brake light? Just wary it won't give enough light to be usable thanks again! :)

Thanks everyone. Does anyone what type of bulb mount is use for the brake light that's located in the bottom of the rear glass (sedan)? thanks again

in asking the 2nd question, I'm wondering now what's the advantage of using LEDs for the tail lights. seems none to me?

link to the exact item you bought? thanks

1. I've searched the net and it seems to me these are just relays? unless of course I'm mistaken in which case, can you please provide a link? 2. How are these relay connected to the turning LEDs? thanks

1. so I replaced the dome ceiling lights with LEDs. It turns itself on when I open the door but won't turn off when I close the door. I can still use the switch to manually turn it off. The only thing I changed is to swap the +/- terminals (had to extend one of the + terminals as it's short)...

cheers with the link! I love android's customisability

any chance of sharing it? can pickup or meet somewhere too if you do share :)

Hello. I'm looking for service manual for the VZ. But the only one I've found searching in different forums (this one and ls1) and the net in general are some three PDFs for the alloytech engine. Any ideas on where to download a more comprehensive one? Thanks a lot :)

hey! just wondering what are the use for illumation and illumination output cables on the VZ? thanks a lot

any ideas on how to get a copy of these service manuals? thanks a lot :)

there are removal tools/metal pieces being sold in ebay for this purpose. not very expensive. good luck

thanks for the detailed repair. just some clarification: 1. I thought the blaupankt headunit that came with the car has proprietary connectors at the back hence the need for the iso-to-vz harness? 2. why do I need to buy a headunit to iso harness? from reading various headunit specs, it seems...

Hello. I was in the local supercheap and I've been looking at replacing my stereo with something else. I asked the guy what's needed (other than the actual head unit) and he said, just harnesses and the fascia. He also said, there are ways to make the steering controls work but I don't...

thanks a lot for the link. helped me a lot! :)

So I wanna replace those bulbs with LED ones. I've found lots and lots of discussions on how to replace the bulb (basically need to swap the +/- cables as LEDs have polarity). But 1 thing I haven't found yet searching the net is how to remove the dome light assembly from the ceiling? Any...

i just came back from a mechanic and whatever he did fixed the problem. and it's different problem compared to yours. I think you best bring it to a holden service shop after 3 different opinions.

thanks for the link. I don't think they are standard. I've looked under each door panel and can't see or feel anything there. as for te footwell, I've never seen it turned on. What conditions will make it turn on? do I need to switch on something? thanks again

Hello. 1. I wanna install door lights on the VZ. I want it to turn on when the door opens. (something like on my wife's bmw. see attached pic) The light will turn on only for the door that's open. so 4 lights on each door. if I open the driver-side door, only the bulb/light strip on...

Thanks again! :)

do I need to reset anything my removing the battery? like radio code/etc? thanks again

thanks a lot. didn't know I can pull that thing. I tried not to give it extra force since it might be screwed...
