    So one last update from me... Thank you guys for all the help! Even though the problem was the hole in the exaust , treating the engine with NULON Lifter Free and putting diesel oil 5w-40 & 5w-30 cleaned it so nicely that there is barely any gunk/sludge/dirt inside. I can finally see silver...

    LPG/dual fuel VEs thread . Tips tricks?

    This thread is for people with LPG/DUAL FUEL Commodore VEs Any tips to make your car run smoother etc please chime in. For me, on petrol it runs as it should but on LPG there is expected 10-20 percent performance degradation. It was okay when car was maintained well. Had this period of time...

    Brake pads IN/OUT dilemma

    MAybe they were labeled like that due to production line process but physically they are the same. Went to the mechanic and he confirmed it. There is also one video of putting race grade pads on back of the VE and they said its the same and showed it. May depend on alliper system though but...

    Brake pads IN/OUT dilemma

    Thank you for this reply. I cannot understand how a big company would allow themselves to fuckaround with a product of this importance. I assume there would be significant amount of checks to assure that this would not happen. By this I mean allowing for pads to be mispacked. However what...

    Brake pads IN/OUT dilemma

    there are 2 dimples on each pad on the back. They are also covered with thin sheet material (some kind of absorption material ) that clips on the pad. So dimples are underneath that sheet metal so it is kind of irrelevant? There are also 4 pimples (lol I dont know what the term is ) on each pad...

    Im about to change brake pads to Bendix Ultra Premium and luckily within comments I found that they get incorrectly packed abd include 4 sets of same pad eg. instead of IN/OUT they are packed OUT/OUT or IN/IN etc... Last time I changed brake pads on my Ford Focus it didnt matter which one goes...

    VE SSV knocking sound from back end when accelerating hard

    Ive had this issue since I got this car ...Even though I dont know what causes it I dont think its related to exaust/bushes.. as it shadows the acceleration level...mine is like clicking sound from back left. Anyway I may be just guessing...It is annoying but it didnt affect my car further for...

    Hi guys Even tho I love my VE it has got way more issues than my other cars (maybe because I didnt take care of it as I could have ) with overheating being most annoying one. I know I got a leak somewhere in the radiator or somewhere ( diagnosed as water level is dropping and it CAN be fixed...

    Thank you all for your replies! Its been a week of above average ride quality with 15-layer tape fix but now that got unglued and we are back to the starting point. No power and farting sounds due to hole in the exaust. I cant fit a new exaust or an old one as Im working with a jack thats in...

    Happy days sad days Car runs super smooth but two things started manifesting. Exaust smoke in cabin (which I can use later on to commit suicide so no biggie) and lack of kickdown eroticism... so no sudden acceleration nor it will shift down on pedal push so I managed to look silly couple times...

    Well at least neighbors now think i got an v8. Its easy to convert from v6...just regularly FORGET to do service ;) Anyways today Im doing cam sensors cleaning... Is it safe to use petrol or dettol (alcohol) handwash on them ? I got a multimeter...is there a way to check if theyre working properly?

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    Im leaning toward exaust problem, to be honest, Ive heard that sound before buut what confuses me I can hear it to a lesser degre in engine bay too. I will need to inspect the exaust. What points me away from exaust and points me towards engine problem is that mechanic said he didnt touch...

    nah, never stalled ever in its life, not even in this condition...maybe you got that imression because i switched it to be running on LPG and then sometimes feels its struggling at idle, like revs would got up and down at 30 sec intervals, however it doesnt do that on petrol but I couldnt rev it...

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    Why would leads cause that sound? Also bear in mind that before it went to the mechanic it sounded waaay quieter and without that fart noise. Ill be cleaning cam actuators today and post later if successful. Anyone knows what is that connector for I posted in a photo before?

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    it idles without revving...when i apply tiny pressure to the pedal then starts to choke itself to death and feels uneven and all over the place...like its fighting for breath but when I push pedal bit more then it revs normally but you can hear the sound it makes

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    Okay...still farting like crazy, little bit more power and thats it...not getting better unfortunately. As someone mentioned catalytic converter , is it possible that oil flush clogged it somehow? Im not experiencing decrease in rev limit which is supposed to happen when catalytic converter is...
  33. Stelya

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    clogged catalytic converter would give loss of power and rattling noise, however it would limit the RPMs and give rotten egg smell from what Ive read I may try this additive as well: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/liqui-moly-liqui-moly-tappet-stop-noise-lubricant---300ml/156708.html I just...

    Done OIL change and now car has zero power and rattles on drivers side when pushing the pedal OMG !!!

    Will it be safe to drive with diesel oil? Also which diesel oil and I guess exact amount as I would put normal oil in? Could you point me in right direction ...I got some SuperCheapAuto vouchers I could use for that. Thank you , I will report upon completion.
