Replaced coils always have been Bosch or NGK Thanks for this advice. I will keep it handy. What you guys have to know is that this vehicle was bought on auction and the RWC costed me thousands as, as per the diagnostic from the official Holden mechanic was that the vehicle had been immersed...

Howdy, Here is my update on this thread. I'm overseas until September and have put my car on hire through Uber or whatever it's called. It went offline as "some smoke" was coming out of the exhaust. I got a mate that took it to a mechanic for me and the guy said that I have to replace the...

Yes it has been regularaly serviced. It has 300k on the clock, timing chan was changed last year, also it's a vehicle I rarely use. Okay, I will contact my mate in Brunswick. Thanks.

That's what bad mechanics do from my perspective, and honneslty, my feeling about this one is even darkened after the last reply, and thinking of taking the car elsewhere, quote below "we can't advise you why cylinder 2 is damaged but the cylinder is damaged and smoke from the piston is not a...

Yes I had that same feeling with this response. I changed a good amount of engines in the past, however, every time it happened, it was not for just a "faulty cylinder". I kind of have a bad feeling with those guys and thinking to take it elsewhere more healthy. I've forwarded your points to...

Hey Guys, This vehicle was take to Motorfix near Spotswoods Victoria and here is their diagnostic, please let me know if it is lucid. Cheers

Guys... Come on.. Give him a break

Yeah okay, will transmit this information, thanks for that. The injectors bank that were stuck open were the ones on the passenger side. I suggested him to use the correct files and blades to service the sparkplugs since they are showing carbon due to the incomplete burn.

All good, he finally found that the injectors were stuck open after he noticed a strong smell of unburnt fuel. Previous coils were genuine as they were installed by an accredited Holden workshop. What are to you guys the reasons why those would be stuck open?

I have changed the 6 coils right after I bought this car in 2018 and now I have to get the changed them again, as advised by my mechanic. I had barely travelled 10,000kms since I usually just drive my Ute around. The mechanic said that its a typical thing to chew up coils for those engines, he...

Hi, I'm struggling to find some of those that are not a $500 expense, since they rot out and needs to be replaced every 5 years. There are plenty of black ones on ebay for 150 with a bit of a rough finish (I have installed a kit and asking for a refund) but none of the chromed ones, Happy to pay...

I looked them up on Google and local reviewers seem happy... only 3 one star review on nearly 400 ... the 4rth lowest is 4 stars then 5 stars all the way, everyone seems happy with customer support etc... weird

So you have the Aero one and happy? Why not a fan of Kayhan screen? Here is what I have founds about Kayhan audio Imac Attack AU 99 subscribers "Kayhan Audio Is Not Recommended Due To Poor Customer Support And Treating There Existing Costumers As Test Guinea Pigs. ACCC Complaints are now...

Hi there, I had the Aero kit installed on my 2009 Calais and found the engineering a bit too cheap gadget for me. https://aerpro.com/vehicles/holden/holden-commodore-2006-2011-ve#-FP9350BK Would there be a place where I can find reviews so I can compare what's on the market?

Okay thanks guys, will have a fiddle with the motor to try to wake him up. Do I need to remove the water reservoir to access it?

Hi there, My VE Calais Series 1's windscreen washers are inoperative, no sound at all to be heard when trying to activate. Is there something I can try before I bother my auto electrician with that? Cheers

It's because I'm used to deal with these poxy VW clips on my transporter and they are a pain when you want to put them back on! But yes good advice, I will spare buying new ones next time for sure.

Found them new on eBay for 10 bucks it'll save me mucking around, if I was in the bush I would probably try your screw driver trick thought. Thanks guys

Found them

Where can I order clips for rear mud flaps I guess theses self lockers can only be used once correct? Thanks!

Yes thats the one I have found but they have the engine on a stand! So I find this a little bit abstract. Do you mean that if I follow the steps on the second video I will be able to remove the cover and then apply the advice from the first one? Have you done the job yourself previously? How...

Cheers

Yep. I'm not bad at all if I keep the beers away. Also have the perfect space for the job at the moment. Do you have any reliable procedural information that I can access? Youtube video (I have looked there already and did not find anything convincing) Or a page with detailed written...

So you mean that the software itself ignores the sensor for a period? Do you have more info on that or do you know of anywhere I can grab it from. I'm not going to bother a Holden dealer with that question as I sense that they probably won't know. Are you talking about a software update? Or and...

Sensors don't work that way to my understanding. The fault was cleared and mechanically speaking, the sync is fine so far. The sensor would have picked up something but now it is not. Fault notification systems are usually setup in a conservative manner in most modern systems, usually leaving...

Hi there, I have looked in the timing chain thread but the links dont work. The engine fault message for timing chain appeared a few weeks ago on my 2009 Calais and wondering how long I have before an incident happen if I don't address this immediately. 3000 dollars is a big budget and I need...
