OK I know this has been asked a million times and I have read them all. Heater is only blowing cold air. Have replaced heater tap, radiator, thermostat and intake manifold gasket. The heater tap isn't moving, I can move it manually when on hot but not on cold. I assume this is a vacuum issue. Is...

I just put the airbag bulb back in with black tape over it and now my issue has gone. Maybe I hadn't plugged everything back in or maybe it needs the bulb to complete a circuit. Either way problem solved. thanks for your quick replies :)

I am currently studying and don't have the money to spend on taking it to a mechanic again to get the light sorted out. So far I have tried disconnecting the battery for 30 mins but no luck. will take it out again and make sure I connected everything properly

I have paid twice to get my airbag light fault fixed but the light keeps coming back on after a week or 2. So after going through the forums here I decided to take apart my dash and remove the bulb. Didn't take too long to do but the problem now is I have the check engine and oil lights coming...

When it was flushed it was filled with coolant but now to save money I replace it with water. Can't see what and where it's leaking from

Hey all vx commy here I have searched on here but have yet to find someone with the same problem I seem to lose a little bit of water from somewhere. I have to top up and bleed the cooling about every 50-100kms with around a liter of water otherwise the temp rises (mainly while idling in...

Hey all My drivers window is stuck down. It's the old timey windy type, I understand its a broken regulator but i cannot afford to repair it this week so was wondering if there's a way to manually get the window up because it lives outside and I don't want the interior to get wet. and I would...

ok so after searching some more of the forums on here i decided to try the engine cont. relay. switched it out with the high beam and sure enough it fired straight up. that's 2 relays in a month. age of the car or maybe shorting somewhere? looks like i may have had the symptoms for a while now...

Hey all So my vx was displaying the symptoms of a bad CAS, misfiring when accelerating at times, would crank but not fire and cut out on me while driving. so i replaced the CAS and it still isn't firing up, no spark just turning over. Are there any other issues this might be? Don't think it...

well i have a spare one of them now

not sure about the taking longer to engage problem as its a switch i assume it either works or it doesn't. maybe a corroded starter wire???

yeah it was labeled starter. i just swapped it with another one to test it then got a new one at my local auto parts dealer, went to repco but they didn't stock any reverse polarity ones

Under the bonnet, top left. Was hard to find cos its a reverse polarity one but an easy fix

So ordered an ignition switch, waited a week for it to arrive and just as i was about to install it i had an idea to check the starter relay. sure enough that's all it was

whats the best way to test these out, it's happening at random now sometime wont start for a couple of turns and others takes 50 or so

managed to start it, after trying like 50 times in a row it decided to work and has been working fine the last 3 times ive started it since

haven't checked the error codes, not sure how to do that. and the security light above the mode button is off

Hey all My commodore doesn't seem to want to crank over, i turn the key all the lights and the stereo comes on but when i turn the key i get nothing. i replaced the battery about 3 weeks ago so that's not the issue. i had the same problem yesterday but my brother said he held the key on for a...

Hey all The heater in my vx is blowing cold air on the hot setting, I have been reading the forums here and tried a few things that other posts have suggested. So far I have replaced the radiator cap, heater tap and thermostat, bled the system a few times. But now it seems to be running a bit...
