Woops thanks for the heads up Blackbxgts just fixed that up.

Hey krusing the car has done around 275,000km. I’m using a toolpro scanner. I’ll add a photo if I can. The strange thing is when the error came up I used the spare plug I had in the car (brand new) just to get me home yet the error still came up. Got home changed the leads coils and plugs all...

Evening all i couple of days ago my pride and joy decided to throw this code and behave very oddly. It idles very rough especially in low revs 500RPM-1000RPM i went and brought new plugs,leads,coils and have installed all of them accordingly yet the code still remains. i noticed tonight while...

Good afternoon all. I find myself in a bit of a problem. My car battery is completely flat and boot shut. No key hole in boot and as battery is flat I am unable to use glovebox or key forb button. And to make matters worse I went looking for the emergency pull cord through back seat and it’s not...

My 06 SS has become sluggish relactant to start and sometimes the electricals in the car just seem off. I had a look at the engerneering mode and found these. Are these numbers a little low or just strange for a non running or moving car ? Switch Voltage 4.3V Throttle Possition 19% Battery...

Oh didn’t know that. I had a look and the cap is on and tight. Might be a bit worn tho it’s the stock one from day car was made 2006. Might add it to list of caps that need to be replaced. So far I need to replace radiator cap and oil cap

The throttle body controller will be disconnected tomorrow. And I’ll try it without it. And wow a code for a speaker they have a code for everything.

It did go into limp mode at one point but not again. I have a throttle body controller that usally works find and it seems to be spazing out. When you put your food down in just sort of jolts foward then back and then eventually it will just take off like a rocket. I had my suspicions on the...

Lol I did fill up after work so I’ll check the fuel cap but I’m sure I tightened it. Is there really a sensors that tells you if the cap isn’t on. Wow. And I’m using a Bosch scan tool. What code is p1210 in other scan tools

Good everning fellow Holden enthusiasts. I was driving home from work today and my car was behaving terrible. Apon starting the RPM was reviving up to 3,000 then dropping then going again did this for 5 minutes. Apon driving the car just did nothing lag up hills and just didn’t do anything...

Everning all. Currently driving a 2006 VE SS and the car seems to be missing gears. I haven’t decided if it’s the auto box or if it’s something less serious. I’ll try to describe this as best I can. Driving home tonight using “Active Select” as always and shifting up gears was fine no slipping...

Ok so after 20 minutes of staring at my back window ive discovers three things. 1. It’s on the outside of the window 2. When looked at closely I found they are little white glossy outlines (like if there was water droplets there but without the water) they arnt over the sections that are clear...

I did at one point think it was. Can’t really make out from the photo but a lot of those stains are over the orange lines. If it was on inside wouldn’t there be “break lines” between the lines. Also that photo was cropped the runs actually start on the very top basicly under the rubber that is...

Didnt use normal household steel wool my mate at the tint place gave me some that he uses to clean inside of windows before tinting so all good I normally use window polish and ither windex or glass wipes to clean my windows but this is the first time I’ve ever come across such a bloody...

Good afternoon. Hopeing one of you all would have a solution for this problem. Had my windows tinted the other day gave the car a nice clean today to check no bubbles in tint and came across this. I have tried window polish, window cleaner, vinegar and even steel wool and dish soap. I don’t...

Has a quick look at my contract and found this. Surly a $3500 rebuild of engine is classed as a major failure. Thank you for the info very much appreciated and like you said it’s all very confuising. As for cost and age of car I understand that a rebuild may seem a bit steap and to be honest...

Has a quick look at my contract and found this. Surly a $3500 rebuild of engine is classed as a major failure I mean driving it without repair would just stuff the block further so in its own right it’s not drivable right ?

That’s if a car is under 10 years old or 165,000. Being as mine is 14 years old and done 215,000km it’s well over. Even then surly I have some sort of coverage for major faults like the one listed.

No I didn’t as when I purchased it i was told it was going for a roadworthy and any defects I listed would be repaired and if any major faults were found they too would be repaired. I listed four. Three were fixed and was told the other was a noisy lifter (common on those models) and that it...

Good everning. Probably wrong thread but does anyone know the consumer rights for Victoria when it comes to buying a used car from a dealer. I went and brought a used car and apon test driving I noticed a noise. Asked all the questions about the noise and they said they will have it looked over...

Guessing roughly first tune and remap $800-$1000 depending ?

Thank you for all the replies going to try and Answer them all here (forgive me if I’ve missed someone) Firstly I brought the car from a dealer just over a week ago (got f&$ked by there marketing on extended warrantees). I’m not sure what oil is in it but looking in log book it hasn’t missed a...

Just went and discussed it with a mechanic and he said it’s very odd that only one lifter would tick if low oil pressure was the problem. Kind of worried as when you think about it everything that is happening could be a list of things starting in the mid hundreds and going up to having to pull...

Hey there. I have similar sort of ticking in my 06 VE and I have been told it’s possibly a “oil starved” lifter as your oil level may be to low or that you oil pump may have decided it wants out. Hope for your sake it’s not

Ok I’ll try and explain this best I can.... In the last couple of days my car has picked up a “ticking sound” from the bottom of the engine (drivers side) It doesn’t do it on startup but after 5-10 minutes of driving it starts. At idle it has a constraint tick that gets faster as I accelerate...

Books tell me the following 1. Always serviced on time at a Holden dealer 2. Oil and coolant levels are both fine and correct fluids in both 3. All services have been carried out and log book filled however I can’t see what they did duing the service 4.Tried searching for the trans dipstick to...

Hey I never got around to getting it looked as as belive it or not car was written off two weeks after posting this. After searching everywhere I couldn’t find anything. Best thing I was told was take it to golems and they may be able to find the problem. I was told it could be a matter of...

Howdy. Picked myself up a 2006 VE SS about two weeks ago and have noticed two things that I can’t explain. Firstly they could both be gearbox or one might not be. When the car is started for the first time after sitting for a while I’ve found that when you shift from park to drive it takes about...

I’ll have to book it in as I’ve tried sliding it across moving it up and down while driving and nothing. The dash doesn’t even register that it’s been put into sports mode. I do have the two buttons on Centre dash one for normal and over shift and the other for traction control and they both...

Good everning. Got my car a little over a year ago and decided tonight I’d try the whole “active select” thing. So started the car put it in gear slid the shifter to active select and .............. nothing. Nothing on dash, car would gear normally when driving and wouldn’t shift when I moved...

When I had the extractors put on the exhaust shops did say I had an O ring leaking coolant might get it replaced. As for the vapor the car was driven for 30km to work so I believe the car was up to temperature. I did a quick check of fluid levels oil it fine and the coolant overflow has coolant...

Hey all. Just wondering recently my 06 SV6 has had a bit of an exhaust upgrade (SS Mufflers and a set of pacemaker extractors) and I have been noticing water droplets and a sort of white hazy smoke coming from exhaust pipes after the car has been driven and turned off. Is this a sign of water...

I was looking at super cheap for some and they apparently come in 6 or 8MM ones. Might just pop one out of the wheel arch and get them to match it.

Hey all. Have some serious sag in front bar and have found I’m missing the four things that hold it on to the splash guard. Only trouble I’m fining is what is used to attach them. I went to a wreckers and pulled four little screws out of another one but they don’t seem to fit. Car is a 2006 VE...

Hey all. Just wondering if anybody knows how to get the bulb holders off a VE sedan. I know how to get the bulb out but is there a way to take the plastic casing off as mine has decided to to become mouldy inside.

Hey all. So I did my first look over the car today and when I looked at the coolant at first I was worried (as previously had a VY that had green coolant) I noticed I had pink. Just wondering I do need to top up the coolant level but having my first sight of pink coolant I thought I’d ask what...

I did think of other reasons. But car seems to only do it occasionally. Has happened twice in last two weeks. Seems to be on first start in morning (car sits overnight). I forgot to put that when the car clicked the radio turned off and remained off until the key was put back to accessories then...

Evening all. Just wondering if anyone could give me an opinion as to if I’m correct ? Today when I went to start my car I simply inserted key turned to accessory’s waited to the system check was done turned key and ...... nothing but a simple “tick” held the key at the start place few a few...

Would you be able to give me a simple tip on how to do it. My inner rubbers have fallen off and as it’s about to rain hard this weekend just worried about water going into door. I’ve searched the internet trying to find easy way of doing it but with no luck. I need to replace the four outside...

Just wondering it appears my battery in my 06 VE has not been changed for over 4 years and is slowly dying. A week earlier I brought a brand new battery for my 03 VY do both these cars run on the same one and can I swap them over or do I need a perticular one for the VE. Cheers
