    Harmonic balancer

    Cheers for the reply krusing yeah thinking of picking one up I can get a new one at a decent price but it would be a 4 hour round trip from where I am so just not sure if I want to make the trip or not.

    Harmonic balancer

    I have checked and rechecked everthing so much its driving me nuts. Had it at 2 different mechanics that said they cant figure out why its vibrating that all mounts look fine. Has anybody had a balancer that was causing vibrations on a vx but looked fine in operation??

    Engine Diagnostics - VX issue

    Mine turned out to be the crank angle sensor code but had to update software to read the code. It's running again but I have a vibration in the car that seems to be getting worse and have exhausted all avenues trying to fix. Starting to wonder if it's the balancer. Funny thing i got rear ended...

    Has anybody had a harmonic balancer that appeared to be visibly fine spinning on the car but was causing engine vibrations?

    Cheers for that BlackVXGTS very informative

    P1571 fault code

    Not sure about it being a ve code mine is a vx and when the code came up it said torque out of range, and as far as I know the traction control on the vx is in the abs module.

    P1571 fault code

    Yeah mate tryed that, the abs and traction control are controlled by the same plug that plugs into the abs unit yeah?

    P1571 fault code

    Who's had it and what to you do to resolve it? I remember it saying something about torque out of range.

    Something I am curious about is when I scanned this car when I first got it I got a torque of range fault code p1571 I believe. Which I thought related to the abs unit so I replaced the unit and cleared the code and it hasent returned. But I seen earlier today a post on here saying that a p1571...

    I had been doing the same thing when pulling up to lights but now it's only dipping occasionally at a stop but just generally running rough as at idle I haven't tryed replacing the Tb gasket maybe I will and see what happens.

    Yeah mate already own advanced engine diagnostics useful tool at times, still haven't been able to pinpoint my problem this time around though. Currently running a few tanks of 98 and put in some ultraclean hoping for the best atm. Seems to be running abit better on the whole but hasn't fixed...

    Certainly sounds like one of the things you've already changed. Could be a dirty injector, when was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

    Oil thread number 467231

    It claims 50% more cleaning power than industry standards so better cleaning= either more or stronger detergents, I also doubt it would reduce the performance of the oil but without knowing for sure didnt want to use it, that's why I asked if anybody else here had used this combo. A email to...

    Oil thread number 467231

    Haha I decided the same thing today. I started it up and couldn't hear a tick, but could last time I drove it. Obviously the engine isn't going spontaneously combust if I put both in but wasn't sure how well it would be protecting things mixed with that particular oil. I think if it had been any...

    Oil thread number 467231

    Hi all have had oil on the brain for far too long later and need to put it to rest. I have been running penrite 10w40 in my cars for years now and after purchasing a vx that was well overdue for a oil change around a year ago and changing the oil straight up with said oil, I serviced it a couple...

    Thought I'd do a compression test today just to rule out other problems, 190-185psi across all 6 cylinders pretty happy with those numbers considering cars done 210000kms. Still no luck fixing her though lol

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    I dont know what him working hard has to do anything? You say he doesn't need that like I was trying to insult the man when I wasn't just having a playful joke with him and said sorry when he said it was close to home, seems like you've had your say buddy. You ok with that?

    Vt brake warning light

    Interesting, I can only speak from experience mate when I replaced my master I bled at the master using the method I mentioned, google scotty Kilmer bleeding at the master to see, then had to bleed at the calipers to get all the air out. I wouldn't pump the brakes 10 times without locking them...

    Vt brake warning light

    Whatever you choose to do make sure you keep the reservoir topped up or you'll get more air.
  32. Davo_vx

    Vt brake warning light

    Have you tryed going for a drive and making the abs kick in yet before you do the other stuff? If you do and the warning goes away just bleed at the calipers after.
  33. Davo_vx

    Vt brake warning light

    Yeah crack the lines get someone to push the pedal to the floor and lock them off before releasing the pedal, good communication is key here and when doing the calipers. What accentstencil said is correct it can be hard to get air out of the abs if it got in there. I've had luck with taking the...

    Vt brake warning light

    That's the problem if you emptied the reservoir completely then you would of got air in the system. You should of left some in it when syringing out and filled back up before bleeding. I would suggest bleeding at the master then bleeding all the calipers again for good measure.
  35. Davo_vx

    dragging brakes?

    I had a similar problem on my vx that I fixed by replacing the master.
  36. Davo_vx

    Vt brake warning light

    As itdslip has said I would suggest you you bleed it again, more than likely just got air in the system. Maybe get a mate and do the two person method and go from there if your still having dramas.

    Low Idle BS

    Today I went and got a Ica from repco didnt fix it. I am leaning towards it being the something to do with purge system/hose because it doesnt make sense that it ran perfect for abit then went back to it's old tricks after I changed tb, bearing in mind I only introduced two different sensors and...

    Vt brake warning light

    Sounds like you may have air trapped somewhere. Also I had problems with my brakes grabbing when I first got mine and end up having to change the master cylinder and bleed the system to fix it.
  39. Davo_vx

    Low Idle BS

    One positive to come out of it is its isolated the problem, what's hilarious about the whole shitshow is it's the first thing I swapped when I got the s pac because I had already cleaned the one on my series 2 that got wrecked when I got rear ended. Had I have known that holden made TB changes...

    Ok so after tonight's battle I thought I'd made some headway but the mongrels playing up again. I swapped the battery with a fully charged one no luck swapped the maf no difference. I then swapped back the the previous throttle body with ica as immortality suggested and bam bullshit gone. It...
