Our MY17 Redline Sportwagon has P/CAR on the plate in the engine bay.

Wife took the car into Holden service centre and they said door lock actuator was showing an error code. $600 later, here’s hoping it’s a permanent fix.

So RACV have confirmed battery and alternator are both excellent. No error codes using their Autel scanner. I guess off the the mechanic/autoelec it will go. Today was the first hot day in a while so I’m wondering if connectors are loose somewhere and with thermal expansion causing them to...

Was there any resolution to this? just this afternoon I went to move our MY17 and noticed the radio wouldn’t shut off when turning off the car and opening the door. I can close the door, lock car and the my link stays on. Car also isn’t flagging that any doors are ajar. I have also had service...

Recovered but flogged to ****. Sad to see it. Rear tires were new and now they are bald. Every panel has damage.

That’s the car that was stolen before ours.

According to police there is an organised criminal group targeting these commodores. Everyone beware.

CCTV shows them getting out of a car and stealing a car from the new Monash Heart hospital. They then drove off in both cars. The original car then drove around Monash university where they then stole our car. CCTV shows that as soon as they stopped at our car, the indicators flashed, so they...

Our MY17 SSV Redline Sportwagon in heron white was stolen from Monash University in Clayton today at 11am. Car was locked and CCTV shows they gained entry via a remote then started the car 30 min later. Looks like standard security doesn't actually do much. Standard car except for a...

Just wanted to update this thread. I paid $1200 and had new headlight units installed. They came from Holmart with OEM globes. So far no issues with lights melting. I think I will be steering clear of anything that isn't the standard output halogen globe. I thought I was safe with the +130%...

Interesting. A part number I was given was 95712233 which is different to what is above. Very confusing.

Does anyone know the part number for the TPMS that were fitted to the MY17 Redline? I'm looking at purchasing a replacement set, but before they are shipped out, the company wants to ensure I'm ordering the correct part from them for my vehicle.

Damage is right through the headlight housing. Can’t polish the external side as crazing is all on inner surface. We’ve owned the car since new and not had any noticeable issue until I had a look this past weekend. Have been running narva 130% gloves for quite a long time and not noticed any...

Both headlights are like that. Left is the worst. Right isn’t as bad. Car has done just under 160,000km. Haven’t noticed it until this weekend. Globes were changed around 12 months ago.

Does anyone else with a VF, VF2 have issues with the front of their headlight housing melting? I had thought I'd seen something about this occurring with a VE but can't seem to locate that thread anywhere. I had a look at the front of our MY17 Redline this morning and the headlight housing a...

W407 on our car. Lots of fumes. Took it back and some exhaust bolts were tightened. This improved it somewhat but still there. Have gotten used to it now. Borrowed a carbon monoxide detector from work and it was off the chart before the bolts were tightened. Now we just have the smell and CO...

Car felt like it had 80kW or less. Struggled up even slight inclines and with any sort of load, car was shaking quite violently. Could only manage 80km/h on a flat freeway and with me holding 5th in sport mode. If it was in 6th it couldn’t handle the load on it. Is the Walkinshaw kit a MAF...

Started car last night to head home and she was a little rough. I thought that perhaps it’s cold and will settle down. MY17 Redline Sportwagon. Noticed that shift from 2nd to 1st was rough, motor seemed lumpy and torque was way down. We have a W407 kit fitted so lumpy idle isn’t unusual...

No I own one, but what I want to know is what people who are paying these prices are plan to do with the car. I genuinely want to know what someone who has just paid $80k for a Redline will do with it. Will it be driven, or will it be mothballed?

What does your mate plan on doing with it? I honestly don't understand the demand and high price that these cars are commanding. Our MY17 wagon is used as family car and is enjoyed. Are all these low km cars being put away in garages never to see the light of day? Are people buying them as...

I can’t be certain tune wasn’t touched but we dropped the car off then we’re called about an hour later saying it was ready. Just enough time I would say to put on hoist, tighten exhaust bolts then take off hoist again. I suspect there was a leak just after cats or within engine bay we climate...

As an update to my situation. Vehicle went back to installer and they couldn’t find any exhaust leaks. They indicated that they checked all bolts and may have gotten a 1/4 turn out of some. I’m driving the car for 1.5 weeks the smell isn’t entering the cabin nearly as badly and the cat doesn’t...

Drove the car to work over both days of a weekend. Definitely noticed fumes entering cabin in stop start traffic with climate control on. If I turn the fan off, it reduces slightly but still there. My wife is getting bad nausea and headaches (it’s her car so she drives it a lot more than me)...

I haven't noticed any fuel spraying out of the exhaust so it isn't running rich. As mentioned above, I think it is probably just the cats. I only drive the car once every 2-3 weeks to once a month. Will borrow it from the wife and drive it around as my primary car over the weekend and see...

Sorry to sound uneducated but am I to presume that rich would smell like “raw fuel” and that perhaps I would have fuel dripping from the tailpipes? If the above is true, then that isn’t quite the smell I’m getting. Only way I can describe it is that it is slightly sweet and “dry” smelling. Is...

Just had a W407 fitted to a MY17 Redline Sportwagon. what I have noticed is that at idle and not moving there are a lot of fumes. Stopped at a letter box today and my son jumped out to post the letter. Door was only opened briefly but there was a very noticeable smell. Anyone else with the...

Had to renew policy on our MY17 Redline Sportwagon. It has 108000km. Ended up with $65k agreed with AAMI for around $1800 premium. Called Shannon’s and they would only inside for mid $50k. I found the Shannon’s rep wasn’t grasping the MY17 tax and kept countering my arguments that MY15 model...

Our MY17 redline wagon had the RR buckle mechanism replaced under warranty for this same issue this week. Seems like they must have had a faulty batch.

At 60k our tyres, rotors and pads all needed replacing on a MY17 SSVR Sportwagon.

If looking for a 2017 redline make sure it is a 2017 and not a 2016 that the dealer is selling. I’ve seen quite a few 2016 build plate Redlines advertised as 2017 models as they were first registered in 2017. Very obvious to notice as they don’t have the black out pack. I’d be more worried...

Just had the replacement shims from the 2015/2016 Redline fitted to the rear of our 2017 on Monday. So far after 2 days and 200km there hasn't been any squeal from the rear of the car at all. Mechanic put copper compound on the front as well for good measure. Heads up for anyone with a 2017...

I see you have a 2017 and had removable shims. When was your car built? We took delivery of our Sportwagon in Feb 2017. My rear brembos didn't have any shims that were removable from the factory pads. I have since purchased a set of "anti-squeal" replacement shims from Holden and am awaiting...

Never machined. Just wear.

Some rotors were on minimum thickness and others around 0.2-0.3mm away from minimum. Our services are filmed by Holden so I saw the measurements. When my mechanic changed rotors/pads for me I had a look at the rotors myself and threw a vernier gauge on them just to confirm measurements and...

That's what I thought and hence why I moved to trying DBA rotors hoping that they wouldn't be as soft. My wife travels 100km per day, with 80km of that in bumper to bumper stop/start traffic so she's always on the brakes. Looking at other brake and tyre threads, it seems that our sportwagon is...

Spoke to mechanic and he still has the factory OEM pads. He has indicated that there is a shim fitted to the factory pads and it is permanently affixed to the pad and isn't removable. They have used the shims that came with the QFM pads. Does anyone have a picture of the factory pads that came...

Original OEM setup was silent. I’ll call mechanic and see if he remembers using the factory anti squeal shims.

MY17 SSVR Sportwagon required new rotors and pads at 60k service in December. Holden wanted ~$2100 to replace them. Sourced DBA T3 (cross drilled and slotted as could not obtain slotted only due to supply issue) rotors and QFM HPX pads as this was only $1100. Local mechanic fitted them for me...

That redline isn’t a 2017. Not blackout pack and I recall jungle was dropped for spitfire in 2017.

With conservative driving (mixture of stop/start suburban and country highway) my wife’s MY17 redline sport wagon has gotten 60,000 out of pads/rotors. Tyres are gone as well. I thought we’d get longer. My 4 cyl vehicles usually have me over 100,000km for tyres and brakes. The sport wagon is...
