how would i know if the cats are clogged at least on one bank? is there an easy way to tell?

ever since i got the car it had made the loud rattling sound as it had been sitting for 2 years. as soon as it goes to around 1500 2k rpm the car then starts to misfire and just shuts off injectors. though the rattling noise was present before i replaced timing chains also.

i have forgot to mention there is a rattle also when reving the car. could it be a catalytic converter issue. it does sound though its coming from the rear of the motor

hi all i have a 2007 Vz Crewman. The car runs very rough and had developed a misfire on cylinder 1 3 5, so i went along and replaced the timing chains as these ones were known for stretching chains plus its done 315,00kms and it was the first time they've been done. I started the car again and...

Do you think there is any type of easy fix without having to rebuild it? The car had been sitting for 8 years prior to a few weeks ago as when i got it all worked well.

Alright will do, is it worth pulling the tube off to see if its blocked or even remove it or just leave it in place?

Hi all, I have recently stumbled across a transmisson issue with my 4cyl vc commodore, when I bought the car the auto trans worked fine, I have done around 100kms in the car and only recently it didn't shift up until it was warm for one drive, the following drive it shifted when warm, but i...

Hello everyone i've recently read up how drilling out the pcv valve can benefit performance and allow the engine to breath more efficiently. But i am having trouble removing it as it seems stuck. I have seen many videos where people remove it with ease. But i cannot get it out, i have tired...

I've got a wl statesman and only recently have i noticed that both the active select button doesn't work do anything after having driven the car for a short period. For example when i first cold start the car and drive the button works fine though the paddles don't. Though when i'm driving if i...

Only sometimes whens it hot and like only once when its been a cold start even though it may only occur once every 2 weeks or not at all sometimes, its then when it wont start by just turning the key after it stalls is then where i have to put the foot down to try and start it.

I have WL statesman and sometimes on hot starts i start it up and then immediately stalls after, i then go to start it afterwards and have to give it a bit of throttle to start it and keep it there for a few seconds before it will idle on its own, very very rarely it does this on cold starts...

Hello everyone, I've got a WL Statesman with lpg (aftermarket) i've recently had the tank re-stamped but ever since i had bought it, the car when on lpg suddenly cuts out when running on gas and the motor runs really really rough like it shakes the whole car and i can hear the tank valve...

Does this require a obdII scanner to get it into diagnostic mode or is there other ways?

By that do you mean having the heater on in the car full on.Then opening the nipple? And to bleed its just the one on the thermostat or is there another bleeder valve?

Yes all hoses are connected

I had bleed it very briefly though. where then it dripped a small amount of coolant out of inlet hose was a little loose. it then used coolant in the reservoir up until recently where it now sits fine. Though the radiator is full when i take the cap off. Would of air gotten back into the system?

Hi there i have put a new heater tap in and hoses and now it blows ambient temp air. In the old system there was a metal tube thing clamped in from factory i believe as the car has only done 76,000kms and was working fine prior to changing it all apart from a hose leak at the connection to the...
