Ah ok thanks for that. Any ideas where to get some that aren't a billion dollars?

Hi All, Been getting a fair bit of water in the drivers side rear door as well as the drivers door. Had a look at the weather strips and can clearly see fairly large gaps between the window and the seal. Can anyone look up a part number and see if the sedan and wagon version are the same part...

My SV6 commodore had a slight idle issue and ended up being the air intake full of carbon build up. Was barely noticable, took holden 2 days to try to clean it by turning the motor one side, flooding it with cleaner, then doing the same to the other side

Oh phew thanks everyone, far out im loosing it lol gettin old

Hi All, Just went to fill up my car and noticed that well, somthing might be missing? Did someone try and siphon fuel out of my car? i swear there was a metal door on it .Does anyone know if theres a spare part available? it dosent look like there is any damage at all

Lol yeah, the plastic where the wipers are under the windscreen on my VF looks horrible. ive tried a few things on the plastic but still dosent look great. At work the car is in full sun, all day....

Not too sure if this has been shared, or whether anyone else had any tips or tricks, but my 2015 SV6 door trims didnt look too great so I tried using some headlight restore on it, turned out nice I just gave the turtle wax 2 in 1 a try after doing the headlights...

im replacing the brakes on my car, but wondering about the shims Ive found a picture of the shim, on the picture circled, does the brake pad go to the left side of the wedge bit? ive seen a few people post photos of them replacing their brakes and hard to tell if that small prong bit simply...

My VF Ran out of roadside assist i think 3 years after I bought it, I then bought it again through holden for like 2 more years, when it ran out they said they dont offer it at all anymore? ended up going with Budget Direct, not the best, but at least it something

I fitted alpine type R into my standard SV6 Storm Setup, waste of time and money honestly. If your running an Amp setup you should get some increase in quality/sound, but yeah, i duno what the stock head unit puts out, maybe 5 WRMS each? i duno but its Crap The local car audio place said id need...

Obviously an old post, but did you end up getting the rotors and pads? im thinking of doingthe same

Update - getting a bit more weird I talked to holden via facebook chat and asked them to call the holden dealer about the car, they did and reckon the service manager guy was on another call, I then talked to the service manager from the dealership, and he said he had talked to holden about it...

hopefully both with how much ill probably get charged

Service agent just called me, apparently the build up is so bad they need to leave the cleaner on it for another day.....

One of my old cars was passed down to me from my parents, a 91 Mazda Astina, and my dad used to fuel it up at BOGAS before it got re branded, and they had the E10 fuel before other people did, that car never had any problems similar to the SV6, and it was up to 380k before we got rid of it. I...

I checked my battery voltage, seems to be 13.8 or 13.9 all the time, its not dropping down Just found a old post, which seems pretty similar, I also understand most people here dont have the SV6 but have a V8 instead. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/whats-wrong-with-holden.255781/...

hmm ok cool thanks for the replies, I just wasn't sure if it was a common thing or not. Ive had a fair few cars before hit 350k and never had this issue before, but obviously not the same V6 motor I did start looking up engine carbonisation issues and a fair few i found were from the...

at the moment im driving about 35 minutes to work, about half of it is at 80kmph. i cant seem to get the car off 10L per 100K, which is why i ended up using E10, as I was using 98 when i first bought the car, but couldnt actually prove it was making the car any more fuel efficient, when fuel...

hmm ok it was still some other things like, most the cleaners seem to say "leave in for 15 minutes" etc, but holden are telling me they unbolt the engine and turn it each side at a time? i would have thought the inlet manifold thing would be the one unit?

Hi All just looking for a bit of advise in regards to this, over the past few weeks, the cars idle hasnt been that great, the motor shook a bit and "Service ESP" came up on the display. It then seemed to go away and the car is still running fine, took it to get serviced as its due for 90K, and...

Yeah, I am insured with comprehensive insurance, took it to get looked at yesterday afternoon and they said everything is fine and to take it back to get repainted on the 20th. The guy who looked at it reckoned it would need a lot more force to bend it, but they can look at it once the rear bar...

Ok thanks for that. Ive put a insurance no fault claim in I havent had an accident in years, got the other drivers license, but forgot to take a photo of their number plate. Called him a few times and he keeps telling me he will text me it. Told some of my friends what happened and went to the...

Hi All Was at the lights the other day in my VF Storm wagon and got ran into by a transit van Didn't look like there was much damage to the van, however plenty of scratches in the rear bar I'd assume the tow bar took all the force and it was enough to push the car forwards. Im going to take it...

Hey there, I just swapped out my tyres on my SV6 after about 55k I looked around for reviews on the S007A, and by the looks of it, it was supposed to be the replacement tyre for the 050 the 050 seems to be a the standard tyre from the factory for a lot of cars, and I cant complain about the ones...

I bought some cheap $15 ebay ones, terrible, also maybe for an american car as their "air blade profile" is the wrong way around.... id get the genuine ones from ebay next time

apparently a lot of people here complain about the parking sensors are also amplified....

I installed the type R alpine 6.5s and found that replacing all the speakers didnt make enough sound difference to warrant the money and time spent doing it. the Head unit has low power output. Ive been put off installing an amp due to the parking sensor issues.

Hey there Just was wondering, is there anything worth doing to the SV6? I dont want to make the car sound like a fart, or drone a lot, but obviously dont have enough money to replace the car with a SS. Does Air intake or replaceing just the rear exhaust cans do anything?

hey there, I am running the prorack Whispbar racks. you can get them from supercheap or BCF on the 20% off sales. Fit is fine, not that loud either

I replaced all mine with decent alpine type R and didnt make that much of a difference, then started reading about the loud parking sensor issue with amps and gave up with any more audio upgrades

Has anyone else had problems with their window seals? was just hosing crap off the car and noticed the passenger side has "untwisted" so when the window goes up half way, half the window is in the seal, then for the top 3 inches, i can see theres a gap and its twisted around? I had the drivers...

I also received the email, so I paid the dealer in June for an update, now another one comes out. This is a joke, we dont know whats in the update, and the last "update" was still 5 years out of date.

So i had a puncture on rear left of my car, put the spare on and got the puncture fixed. 2 times, around within a minute of driving the car since putting the fixed spare on, ive heard a sort of electrical screech for a few seconds from the passenger foot well Any ideas? no lights on the dash...

Hey there, ive done a bit of testing with my VF 2015 SV6 wagon. When fuel dropped in price, i thought id do some tests and find out whether my car does "go further" with 98, vs 95 and even 94 E10 fuels. im pretty much getting around 600KM per tank, average fuel consumption is almost stuck at...

No mine was all under warranty im pretty sure they only replaced one part. however it was kinda big? i thought it was just going to be the latch, but when i look at it now, its like a big all in one peice now?

Hi there, I took mine to Holden and they replaced the entire unit with one from a Series 2. Heaps better than the original one

What?

it really sounds like it say "make an illgalyouturn"...... I just got the saat nav update, ill also complain. It should be covered for the cars warranty period. I havent wrote in the ACCC. Newcastle holden have been fine to deal with, and its not just a dealer thing, its a Holden thing

hmm I just called up a place in town about getting an Amp installed, but the guy on the phone said that its best to get a signal processor, but thats going to be an extra $400 or so? $300 for a 4 channel amp and then $400 processor... then install costs :(

Just digging up an old post, ive just replaced all the speakers in my car and was wondering if anyone has the wiring colours, the wiring in my VF 2015 SV6 wagon does not meet up with whats posted here. the front doors are, passenger side - Blue , and Blue + Brown line Drivers side is Yellow...
