    VE Omega and installing bluetooth module

    Although it's been a while and I'm sure you've sorted yours by now, I'll still add this in case it helps anyone else. When plugged in via AUX I think you'll find it's utilizing the mic on your phone, like if you put your phone on speaker it diverts the audio to the loudspeaker on the phone but...

    Instrument lights short

    Always the last thing you'd think hey haha. Had a similar thing recently, did some work on the car and had engine light on afterwards, so of course I'm checking everything that I had touched and can't find a thing wrong for weeks. Turned out it was just a huge coincidence and it was a relay...

    Vx supercharged Calais 2000 auto

    If it turned over, why did you replace the starter motor? I'd start with the ignition control module. The bit under the 3 coil packs that the loom plugs to, they are prone to stuffing up, common for these. Should be able to get the whole assembly with coil packs for 50 at a wrecker which will...

    Boosting an ecotec

    I bolted a supercharger on mine at 400,000km figuring I'd blow the current engine before I put the new one in I built and do the job properly. I now just ticked over half a million km and the thing is laughing at me and still purrs like a kitten. I did nothing to prepare the motor for the...

    Crank Angle Sensor Replacement

    Easy, yes, but I'm a big believer in not wasting money for no reason. If it was in a bad spot and doing the other sensor ment you had easy access to it while the car was apart then I'd change it while the hard part was done and you could get to it easily. But considering you can change the other...

    Drove with out a belt!

    I'd agree with the last 2 comments. Worth checking the wires to the coil pack for damage too and also the spark plug leads as they are in the line of fire when the belt breaks. I'm pretty sure the crank sensor should also put the engine light on now I think about it, so if its not on maybe look...

    Instrument lights short

    If you've been swapping out globes with LED's you might have one in the wrong way somewhere. An LED only lets current flow one way, if ones in backwards you are effectively blocking current flow on that whole circuit so even the ones in the correct way will not light up. Not sure how the globes...

    Fault Code 21; Drivers airbag resistance too high; HELP????

    There is a plug down the side of the seat that is part of the airbag system. If any moisture gets in the connection it will trigger a fault on the airbag. I owned a detailing shop and you could almost not shampoo one without setting it off, if you spilt a bit of drink down the side of the seat...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    Don't suppose anyone can post a Tunerpro recording of a VX V6 that's stock and no issues so I can compare it to mine and search for differences that may point to an issue with mine?

    VX starting wierd and remote not working

    No worries, I recently found the need for assistance and had to make a post and realized i could be putting something back into the site, so I started browsing to see if I could help anyone. Actually been enjoying it, it's like a site full of puzzles haha. Anyway, have you by chance had the...

    VX starting wierd and remote not working

    Mine isn't disabled and only need the blade so you can turn ignition, functioning remote was not needed. I did this not long ago on mine without touching my old remote to do it. EDIT: I do understand they may have changed how they work, so I can't say for sure it's still the same, just that it...

    VX starting wierd and remote not working

    In case you haven't sorted your problem out yet, I will still offer my input. And if you have worked it out, still interested to know what it ended up being if you don't mind updating. Definitely sounds immobilizer related. If you need a new key, I would get that first and then you can rule...

    Immobilizer issues

    Exactly what I would have written if it wasn't already done. Keen to get this info.

    Nice pickup, I have a known good spare and will do that in a sec. Keep you posted.

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    History: The car has always tripped this code every so often but has always gone away after not very long without even needing to restart the car. I was told this was normal due to the LPG system and it has never produced any side effects to cause me to think otherwise. Not being a smart ass...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    I saw that too the last 2 checks but its new. The trans was to be serviced until this took my attention so I have my money on either clogged filter or bad fluid on that one. I'm quite confident the trans service will fix that but I'm not sure where the original fault code has gone to, hasn't...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    Appreciate your efforts too by the way, I'm the only one of my mates or family who likes to get grease on their hands. Makes it difficult when you need the ideas bouncing back and forth to get somewhere.

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    I actually recorded two short drives yesterday with the plan to upload them, will do that soon. Yes, tested injector wiring and the injectors themselves, cant fault them. Problem is though it will idle all day long and not trip the code, but driving it does without fail. Can't work out a pattern...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    If I have an interest in something, I study it until I know it inside and out. LPG I have never had an interest in so I'm blind in regards to an LPG system except understanding the electrical side of them. Bottom line..... There's an LPG filter?? The LPG was checked for the 10 year compliance...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    I forget exactly but I can tell you they were checked against the service manual specs and the new ones were correctly set already. I then made them .2 smaller gap for the LPG. I had the issue before changing plugs but after the other work, which is a finer detail I had not mentioned. I have...

    VX Dual Fuel (Aftermarket) DTC57 Injector Monitor Line problems

    Hi all, and thanks in advance if you are even reading this, let alone able to offer assistance. I have never come across and issue with these motors I haven't resolved myself, but this has me absolutely stumped after months of trying to figure it out. Issue: Engine light comes on after a...

    VT Dual Fuel slowly loses power on petrol when warmed up

    Why do you ask that? My old mans has the same fault code 57 and has backfired on gas twice now, he is having to leave it on fuel but still not running ideally and fuel consumption is real bad.
