    2005 vz sv8

    Vinyl wrapped now in KPMF Midnight Crimson Bloom. Insane colour bit similar to Cherry Black in certain light.

    VZ SS Diff opinions

    Not sure, was the later model with the SS bodykit

    Types of tyres.

    For a decent brake improvement without actually upgrading rotors and caliper do a full flush with some decent fluid like Penrite 600 and fit some police spec pads. Made a big difference in my vz

    My 05 VZ Sv8 came with 3:73s from factory.

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    Ended up being wheel bearing which is weird as it wasn't noisy and no play when you rocked the wheel.

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    Also intensity increases with speed, normally would mean tyres but swapping front to rear didnt change anything. Can feel through steering wheel too.

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    Is that internal?

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    UPDATE: replaced both control arms so new bushes and ball joint, now faults even worse but going straight. FML.

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    I was thinking rack but doesnt explain why the issue swapped sides with new castor bushes

    Weird issue suspension/steering

    Looking to see if anyone can help. VZ SV8, shudder through steering wheel only when turning even just slightly, more noticeable at freeway speeds. Was more pronounced turning right than left and only a slight turn will induce the shudder. Suspected tyres so spun them all up and they are true...

    One key will start car, one key won't.

    Probably a flat battery in the key. Highly doubt ECM if the other key starts the car every time. Batteries arent changeable without breaking key open and desoldering, better off buying a new one.

    Temperature sensor

    Heat index meter?

    VF MY15 about the car staying idle for a week or so

    There's no issue with disconnecting the battery.

    Can you turn off the RED blinking Immobiliser light?

    From memory the immo light and the light sensor are in the same spot so you can cover it but your auto headlights wont function.

    Acceleration whine coming from speaker

    Guessing aftermarket speakers, deck or amp? Use this flowchart: How to diagnose and suppress noise

    Air con problem

    All actuators are electric, no vac. The compressor will cut out on WOT, this is normal. Defaulting to screen is a weird one. Defaulting to screen is a safety feature so that if your HVAC has issues it will still defog the windscreen. This generally only affected pre VE vehicles which used...

    Software updates wiping custom tune.

    Nice tinfoil hat. As said, tuners lock tunes to prevent them being "stolen" by less experienced tuners/backyard tuners. It makes business sense to those thinking with common sense.

    VE V6 Commodore clear water leak from under dash passenger side.

    Pull off the centre console side trim on the passenger side, stick your head under the dash and look up above the trans tunnel (may have to pull carpet back. You'll see a rubber grommet where the a/c pipe goes into the drain. If that rubber grommet isnt sitting properly it will leak onto/under...

    Noisy power steer pump

    Shouldn't whine at all. If the steering feels fine the fluid may be aerating. Check the reservoir for bubbling/foaming.

    ve omega headlight problem

    Are they seated correctly in the socket and not on the piss?

    VF Dash Removal/Disassembly

    I've done a few complete dash and HVAC removals on VF. They aren't like old cars where you end up with creaks and rattles as everything goes back together snugly.

    Dodgey Aircon VF SS 2014

    Common failure point is the AC pipe that runs between compressor and condensor. You'll see an oily residue all over it near the crimp. Police are treated as fleet and pay accordingly.

    Software updates wiping custom tune.

    Tuners may lock their tunes to prevent them being stolen by other tuners. Generally Holden can't overwrite a locked tune.

    VE A/C issues

    Push and hold the rear demister button till you hear motor noises inside the dash, this relearns all the vent and air mix doors. If you hear any clicking an actuator is stripped and requires replacement. If all the motors are ok the recirc door may be broken which affects other motors. To check...

    Shouldn't do any damage and yes a wheel alignment is required after replacement.
