Hello everyone, I've just done a warrant of fitness (in NZ) and it's failed due to front left and right lower suspension control arm bushings have play in them. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to replace these in Auckland? Secondly, they also noticed that the front and rear...

Hmm, sounds like the same symptoms I seem to be having. I had recently got a P0174 code too after some rough idles, but I reset it and it hasn't come back up again. But every now and then, I'll feel a ever so slightly rough idle, but hasn't been as bad so haven't thought much about it. Will be...

Following as well. Sounds exciting!

Ha ha ha. You got me. What I meant were the electrical earth/ground points on the car please.

Hello, can anybody please let me know where the ground points are on a 2013 VF SV6 Commodore?

120500kms. It gets serviced at the recommended intervals.

Thanks for the updates guys. The other potential issue I have is that when I come to a complete stop say at a traffic light, I can sometimes feel the car shake a bit, more so when the engine is colder. It feels a bit like rough idling but I can't seem to pin it to what's wrong. Have always been...

Hi guys, when I start her up in the morning, she's always bursting with power, like I can let go a little bit of the brake and she'd jolt forward like she's been holding in all this power. After 15-20 seconds, she calms down and she's back to normal. This is even when I'm on a flat surface...

Got mine too in New Zealand and repairs also start "mid 2019".

Hey, did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Oh and I forgot to mention... When in Park, I revved the engine and it took a while before coming back down to normal revs... Almost as if it was holding on to a higher rpm for a slight second.

I literally had it in the dealer about three weeks ago and in their notes, they checked for any leaks in the vacuum pipes etc. Will double check again. Thanks.

I seem to be getting some rough Idling in my Commodore, sometimes it's very rough, other times it's just noticeable to be annoying. Today when I stopped at the traffic lights, the car juddered very roughly about three times while the dashboard lights dimmed simultaneously. Almost felt like it...

Hi guys, is there any tutorials on how to route wires say from a dash cam or radar detector through behind the rear view mirror down to where the power is located please? I've got a 2013 SV6 VF Commodore. Thanks.

Cheap? Was $500 at the dealer!

How much was it to fix it?

How do you fix a purge valve solenoid? That seems to be faulty.

Hah, so I booked it in at the Holden Dealership to take a look at it next week, I get back in the car and the check engine light is gone. Have driven another 80km since then and light still hasn't turned back on. Nothing on the OBD scanner now too! It must have gotten scared it was going to a...

Will do. Only done 112,000KMs.

Ah yes sorry! I have amended the title to show the correct DTC.

Exactly what I did haha Would like to get to the bottom of it if possible.

So my 2013 SV6 Holden Commodore check engine light came on today and so I scanned it using my OBD scanner and it came up with the following: (Click to enlarge) Has anybody had this issue and what was the best way to go about diagnosing the issue please? I really really really really hope...

This thread is almost four year's old lol!

I guess that Remote Start feature comes in handy!

I always seem to be scraping my VF mudguard on things lol.

Ah right thanks. And yes I have heard the word choke bring floated around somewhere. :-)

So it's normal?

So my Commodore seems to have a lot more power when I first start her up, and when I let go of the brake she just goes without me having to push the accelerator. Once she warms up, it's back to normal. Any ideas what this might be? Cheers.

Yup, just more concerned about bleeding the brakes and not overflowing the brake fluid in the reservoir while doing so.

Were they easy-ish to do?

Did you install them yourself?

How much did they cost you?

Okay, I've asked Holden for a price on rotors and pads. Waiting for them to get back to me.

I definitely don't need them haha. What's a decent priced DBA rotors that do the job but won't break the bank?

Holy Moly. Just looked at the price of these! :eek:

Thanks for the help guys. Also, what type of rotors should I get for the front : slotted or non slotted and what brands are recommended?

Does anybody know where to get the QFM pads in NZ?

Any decent brands out there? I hear about Bendix a lot. Cheers.

I managed to change them all! Now the car feels a lot more smoother during idle! Woohoo! First time changing spark plugs too!

Has anybody found a good video on how to change the left engine side spark plugs for a VF Commodore?
