    VF GTS are you happy with it??

    G'day Al , I have owned a MY 16 Gts for 12 months (from new) and have just over 10 k on the clock. I have chosen not to modify it due to a 6 year warranty and being content with 430 kw on tap. They say that the Gts and others respond to driver input....so I believe that to much modification may...

    Mylink hack or upgrade

    I've got some 30+ year old RACQ maps and a 1985 Brisbane referdex that might be more use than all of those boxes and spaghetti wiring in you glovebox.;)

    Holden service are indicating that tensioner failure is the culprit , causing the belt to slip ever so slightly (for now) . New tensioner and belt to be fitted next Tuesday as well as new tail lights and rear bumper clips. Let's hope that is all she needs for a while. ;)

    Thanks Cuda...........The service dept just said that the belt was showing signs of cracking. As for the tensioner...??? who knows...their bible might say --- ' when replacing the serpentine belt...the tensioner must also be replaced '. ( I have not checked it myself ) Anyway , going into town...

    Thanks for that Monstar..... I will check with the service manager as to why they want to replace it so early. The parts are on backorder as well as new taillights that have faded to orange across the top reflector area. ( I hadn't noticed the issue ) I think they had known for a while about the...

    Random Question. I had my VF in for it's 9 month scheduled service this week. It has approx. 9000 k on the clock. Holden service told me that the serpentine belt and tensioner needs replacing. Is this normal wear for a ' fan ' belt ?

    Is this a good deal for a gts r

    ' Impulse' is not necessarily linked to stupidity.....though sometimes...hindsight proves it so. Doing something that makes your heart sing....is sometimes better than allowing your head to take control of every decision you make. Umpteen thousands of children are born in this world....because...

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    I had previously made a comment about driving a Commodore , being Australia day and not really caring whether a Kia would flog an SS or not. The conversation then de-generated into some unnecessary debate about Aussie flags and stuff ....and got a bit personal to boot ! Monstar come up with...

    2016 vs 2017 Redline differences?

    I bought my 2016 GTS back in May this year....and was offered Holden extended warranty for either an extra 1 , 2 or 3 years. I chose the 3 year option....think I paid around $2800 for it from memory.

    Window Rattle

    Just had the local Holden dealer check out my Gts. Both front windows rattle when closing the doors... with the windows in the fully open position. They said it was a fault that most Gen F sedans have to some degree and there no easy fix available. The car has 3000km's on the clock.....cost me...

    Experience with Paddle Shift on Redline

    I like the paddles when highway crusin'. Come up behind a slower car....drop 1 or two cogs... wait for a gap...then pump it. Select a lower cog if necessary....ie...gap closing fast. Beats the hell outta pumping the throttle and wondering what gear is selected. Great fun through the hills and...
