I have just had the Vacuum Master solenoid replaced again to my 98 Calais after 4 years at a cost of $300 by a Holden workshop. I was also told that I need 2 accuators which are on back order. I managed to source 2 of these and had them fitted by the same workshop. I bought the units for $55...

ABS ldash lights come on I have just replaced the ABS module at $350 changeover from Bursons. I was running with the ABS loom unplugged as I didn't want my air bag out of action. I was getting oil, ABS high/low traction, airbag lights. I also found that you can drive without the ABS...

I am also having the same problem in a 98 VT Calais and I am having a problem believing it is the ABS electronics as I think that the electronics would fail permanently instead of intermittently. After all the warning lights came on I rattled the ABS connector by tugging on the loom, and the...

I have been told by a mechanic that it may be a poor earth connection somewhere as the fault is intermittant. There are about 8 earth connections apparently. Usually electronic equipment fails completely.

Intermittantly I get dash warning lights displayed all at the same time. The lights are :- ABS, Airbag and Drive train. Also sometimes included is the low trac light. Sometimes the ABS brake engages for a moment as they come on. Previously only the ABS light was coming on. I don't believe...

I don't need to remove the seat as I have found the wear. I think I have resolved the problem. At the front of the seat support mechanism the threaded drive shaft for forward and backward adjustment is held by a pin. The pin has 2 nylon spacer/washers fitted on each side of the pin. One has...

I have mine above the rear view mirror and it works fine. I got extra E-tag holders from city link for my partners car.

Can anyone help with the procedure to remove the all electric drivers seat of a 98 VT Calais. I need to remove it to see where the track wear is that is causing it to rock back and forward during braking and accelerating. Thanks

Experienced this once years ago and it was a blocked exhaust. Idled perfectly but also couldn't accelerate over 30KPH. Check that there is good exhaust pressure from end of tail pipe . Just a thought and good luck.

I have had the same trouble with my unit with same error. Evntually had to take it to Eurovox in Rowville Melbourne. Cost about $100 for some parts and labour. Error happened again within 12months and returned it under warrenty. Haven't had any trouble for awhile now. I think they replaced a...

I have a 98 VT Calais with 170Klms on the clock. It appears that there is some wear in the tracking mechanism of the drivers seat which causes the seat to move up slightly from the back about 1/8 inch. The seat is fully electrically adustable. The movement appears to come from wear in the...

I also have the same creak when backing and turning slowly. Especially when moving over a small hill. I have been to Peddars twice to no avail. I would have thought that they would have noticed worn stabilizer bar link bushes. I would welcome any new info Thanks
