That's what I was thinking, it shouldn't cause any problems if I removed throttle body and let it dry out I wouldn't think there would be a problem, do you agree ? Appreciate your reply, thanks.

All that's easy enough , I've got an XU6 Supercharged V6 (obviously ) now I haven't done a throttle body clean in years (retired) I get home and I decide to read the instructions on the can, CRC throttle body and air intake cleaner in "notes" on the can it says do not use on vehicles fitted...

Hey, Yep 5 attempts and finally got it, due to the lowness of the front end had to drive it up onto pine blocks to be able to get jack under front, I finally got constant coolant/water to flow from the bleeder, from squeezing hoses, Blowing in the radiator with mouth over where cap goes ...

Ok, It's been awhile since I have had to seek assistance :) . We all know the l67's can be a pain but really this painful ??. Here's what happened to me and would appreciate anyone with advice on how to fix if they have experienced the same. Water pump went so replaced, also replaced top and...

Ok, It seems as though people have been helped a lot on this thread and been referenced a lot for no more comments. We all know the l67's can be a pain but really this painful ??. Here's what happened to me and would appreciate anyone with advice on how to fix f they have experienced the same...

Hey there, Been awhile since I have been here and am seeking advice on this subject as well, the L67's are certainly a pain to do, I thought I had it sorted yesterday, checked radiator again this morning, had to top up so thought I may as well see if there is anymore air in system, well holy...

Hey, Yeah the old Coke Bottle trick does it pretty well, just I haven't come across a commodore with 3 bleed points, anyrate held my mouth right and was able to open the pain in the butt rear thermostat bleed screw, pretty well much no air at all then I did below blower snout then the pipe going...

Now why did I kind of guess someone would say that :) , it's a real pain to get to as thermostat is at back of motor tucked in below the supercharger with a vacuum unit hard up in front of thermostat housing. I can't get away with just cracking the one on the water pump housing below the blower...

Been awhile since I've been here. Okay I see the air bleed point on the thermostat housing at the front of the VT - VX pictures on here but what if you have 3 bleed points on a VX and the thermostat one is at the back of the motor and is a real pain to get any kind of tool in to loosen due to...

Thanks for that....:) thats what i really need..LOL solenoid inside the transmission.

Flex plate...the knocking noise will be slightly audible when putting car from drive to neutral or park when about to switch ignition off. have you ever heard crook balance shaft bearings at all on the VN's ? does it sound like that ? if yes then id be getting under there with a screwdriver and...

Ok :) gee thanks for the input..LOL I got a code of 73,everything checked out with it so why is the light staying on ? i triple checked the error code and came up the same....73.Obviously removing the error log isn't going to turn the light off so why would the light be staying on when the...

Is it auto and if it is,is it changing gears when it should ? starting to sound like the flex plate if your booster and vaccuum hoses check out.

Been awhile,Ok i haven't been out to have a look at the vehicle yet, am hoping someone out there maybe able to assist me on this one. Sorry i don't have any error codes as i was phoned tonight with a concern with a VS,what was explained to me was that the car had stopped when it got warm and the...

:) to be honest with you i always thought it was stuck on with double sided tape,but now that you have mentioned riveted,i'll have to go check mine out to see

yes crank has to come out,don't be persuaded by people telling you to use a tool called a sneaky pete,yeah does the job for a bit but wouldn't recommend it even more so if yours is S/C'd

have you looked at the passenger side of the inlet manifold this is a common area for the oil to leak from,this could also contribute to your miss,you may have blown the inlet manifold gasket allowing it to suck in air. bending a rod you will tend to have a knocking sound all the time(but not...

not necassarily,you usually hear the humming ...grinding first,unless your deaf then you will have all sorts of steering problems rather than braking problems,i'm not denying that pedal knock back doesn't exist,but it is very uncommon in everyday normal driving.

the shunt may of been heavy enough to knock something about in the rear end.

they will charge you an hrly rate which is usually around the $60-$70 mark plus any other parts as stated in previous post...I.E front seal,they may also find something wrong with you HB but highly unlikely.

i'll assume you read the article properly,like it said the world isn't perfect and pedal knockback is more common on the race track.

lol...thats why they didn't sell it,it's worth more to them crushed ready for recycling,they are paying big dollars now apparently,i'm in the proccess of stripping 2 VN's and selling just the shells,they reckon they will give me $200 each shell....i'll believe it when i see the $$$ in my...

wouldn't be today :) the way the price of metal is today...metal is becoming like gold,they are paying top dollar just for shells of cars for recycling

i find this very strange this situation :) that o-ring stops water leaking out of the thermostat housing. have you sussed the water pump out ? i noticed you said you flushed it out the cooling system ? did you do it yourself or did you get it done with a pressure flushing machine at your local...

like everyone is advising you with checking panhard rod and rubbers etc,etc also check your shock absorber rubbers especially the right hand one.Also very long shot,has your car been in to a panel beaters shop recently for any kind of rear end repair?

i was going to suggest to you about being a bent stub axle. i have heaps of front strut assemblies laying around i usually ask $40-$50 but you know what wreckers are like :) i leave the springs on mine...means more work for me taking them off...lol

how does the pedal feel when you first hop in the car without motor running ? if it feels good ,next with your foot still on the brake pedal start the car your pedal should move down slightly,you will know as you can feel it,if it goes more than slightly...I.E heaps,then i'd be considering your...

wheel bearings will not affect your pedal for braking,give the person a break they are only asking for some advise.

does the cooling system have coolant in it ? this can also contribute to excessive fuel consumption if it hasn't,believe it or not,also as answered by others your O2 sensor and also a crank angle sensor that is about to give up the ghost will give you that cutting out.

if it's just double sided tape the trims should just pull away easy.if they seem terribly hard to pull away by hand then someone has had it in for repair and they have re-stuck them on with sikaflex:bang: thats where the poster said with fishing line etc,etc comes in handy

just caught up with some reading on the forums....i found this topic. Ummmm no you don't win...lol.. well technically you do you have shown a picture but i had a much bigger ding in the sump than that,i no longer have the car so i can't prove my case.. lol... with a picture.it was a repairable...

how did you get your files down to 678Mb...mine is around the 720Mb for some reason,i also get the c:/holdsip1/dt32.exe error. i only d/loaded the VT/VXTech CD as all the other files on link supplied are the same size.

battery :) whats the CCA on it? is it the right battery for the application?

it would only be the syncro rings......bit of promo work here :) i have a good 5 speed laying around,if you want it make me an offer

was it a new crank angle sensor?

drivers side bracket is at rear bolted to exhaust manifold(double nutted for strength and obviously to hold bracket on as well)the passenger side is bolted at front on exhaust manifold.

:) same here...never ever come accross that problem...what m62vpute stated those brackets were put there for a reason :) and should be used,personally i don't like using exhaust manifold bolt holes for an anchorage/lifting point...stretch the hole or damage the thread ,using a seat belt...

yeah true as well....but mine wouldn't start at all when it went....not even the next morning,this is what i'm trying to get at,sure she doesn't have to listen to us or replace what everyone tells her to :) i was getting the same symptoms as her,naturally i just like 1vngal immedietly thought...

has this been compressed?...the files...i'm on ADSL and 538 odd Mb i should have in 1/2 + hr but it says 8 hrs to d/load

CAS's are very tempermental and can last from 1K to 500,000K's...just like anything else...only thing to do is simply replace the fuel pump,like me it will tell you,proccess of elimination,by replacing each suspected part :) iv'e seen brand new fuel pumps burn out as soon as you turn the key as...
