I really love to mate, but the thing is money is really tight in my household! Personal reasons

No offence taken mate! The lower intake gaskets seems to be fine, there's no oil in the cooling system or anything..... SO FAR I wouldn't want to do that all over again either, I replaced an entire set of gaskets for my VR long before I have a VX... My nephew helped me disassembled the engine...

Interesting! I never even heard of demineralised water until now... That's probably why my previous VX V6 overheated too much because I had the wrong water in to begin with, I be buggered I am also certain it's 12 litres too

I also forgot to add! Where is this so-called drain plug? So that I could drain all the coolant out of the entire engine.

G'day everyone, I am in need to do my own servicing to my VX. I am wondering if I can use the following Oil's, Coolant and Fluid's! Penrite Green OEM Coolant Concentrate 20 Litre | Supercheap Auto (How many litres of coolant do I need to put in? On the Supercheap site it tells me 14.3L...

Very useful, thanks heaps mate :cool::cool:

Ah yes! I know about those two rails :cool: other question is that where do I place my trolley jack to get the car up? LOL Only 100~125 Nm. For the wheel nuts? That's insane it just can't be, in my opinion that's too low in torque! One would think the wheel nuts would be 220~260 Nm. What I would...

Already ahead of ya there mate! I got two of these from supercheap Bendix Ceramic Disc Brake Lubricant 6g | Supercheap Auto I'm pretty certain it's the right stuff, I've read it several times

No offence taken mate LOL! I really cannot leave it to the experts due to money wise. I have everything I need to replace the brake pads and rotors so there's no problem there - I just need to know the jacking locations for a VX Commodore, torque values for the caliper bolts and wheel nuts I...

Thanks or your reply mate! I got a trolley jack and some stands

G'day everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on the forums asking for some help. What I need to know is jacking locations for a VX Commodore! Photos or even a video would be great I'm absolutely dumb, I have put my car onto ramps before. However, I need to replace the front brake pads and...

G'day everyone, I have solved my problem with my VX overheating! I have to replace the thermostat which was purchased from Supercheap, so I brought a new Genuine one from Holden not to say that it won't sh*t itself later on I also made a discovery that there was NO coolant within the top hose...

I'm not sure if this question has ever been asked before! But I will first explain After I had fixed my car with new radiator, gaskets, hoses etc... I then refilled my radiator with the coolant and added it with water and I have been wondering if I had done the right thing as I've never...

Yes, that's what it kinda looks like lol I got my set from Supercheap As for drilling a hole well.... I didn't know that hahaha :P but even if I wanted to drill a hole my drill cannot fit into a tight space :( So I'm not sure what to do there? I found a place here in Wagga Wagga that can do the...

Yes, when I said left hand drill bit I meant "easy-outs" which are completely a waste of time I thought about welding a bolt onto the knock sensor but I don't know how to weld and I don't have a welder on hand I know that I do need a high tensile nut to do the job but I don't think a person...

G'day everyone, Just wanted to ask how can I remove my VR's broken knock sensor please? I have left handed drill bits that I picked up from Supercheap but they aren't helping at all I've also tried to move it with a pair of pliers and it still won't come out, I have done everything I can...

PhilChorusch submitted a new Showcase Item: 1993 Holden Commodore Read more about this showcase item here...

G'day everyone, I have a broekn knock sensor, the cause was that my nephew removed my original knock sensor without telling me when he offered to help put in new gaskets and so on but never helped so I was left to do everything myself and when I installed the original (old) knock sensor by...

G'day everyone, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me to get my car fixed, I really appreciate everything :) I did have my car working, however I just had a bit of a problem yesterday "I'm very stupid" I forgot to tighten the bolts on the power steering pump pulley which caused the...

I have some more questions to ask lol:) I am attempting to upgrade from my Level 2 cluster and wiring loom to a Level 3 cluster and wiring loom and I have these already to be installed however I am trying to understand what plug goes where on the Level 3 wiring loom I know where all the big...

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has replied to my post I truly appreciate all your help :) I have completely fixed my car except for stuffing the old knock sensor (long story) just need to glue a new nut onto it and remove it that way or use a LH drill bit and put in the new...

Ah excellent, I never really thought of putting it on like that no wonder it didn't look right lol thanks heaps mate, really appreciated

So is this right? It really doesn't look right where this piece of wire goes

Ah I see, it's been looking at me the whole time and I didn't even noticed it lol thanks heaps mate, I will connect it tomorrow

I have a question, where on earth is this wire plugged in please? I am thinking it plugs into the alternator however there's nowhere to plug it if so can someonw please post a photo, thanks in advance

Excellent :) Thanks heaps Rob I am just assembling my manifold since my nephew pulled it completely apart and I'm having some trouble working out where on earth the rest of the parts belong, would anyone have like a book on where the parts belong on the entire engine block "At least I've worked...

Thanks guy's for all your help, still cannot remove the crankshaft pulley bolt because the bastard keeps moving too much But once I get a longer breaker bar from Super Cheap it will surely come off :) I have a question regarding torquing specs, in the engine rebuild book the torque specs are...

Hmm, I have found out something very interesting! My nephew and I cleaned around the timing cover only to find there's no gasket lol what and interesting find I'd say one of the prevous owners had removed the timing cover at some stage and forgotten to replace the timing cover gasket what...

My nephew and I pulled apart the engine "not entirely" and found chunks of gasket inside the engine block as well as traces of coolant and flushed it out with water 'Yeah, I know I shouldn't have used water to flush out my engine" but it's all I have I am going to give it another flush out this...

Excellent information, thanks heaps guys :) My nephew told me the same thing that it mite be the gaskets causing the leak into the coolant the colour of the coolant was green and had kinda a brownish texture colour in it as well as the oil under the cap was brown and quite dirty (redish)...
