    Exhaust system for a 2013 VF International

    I'm thinking about upgrading to a nicer exhaust system for my '13 International to give it a deeper, nicer tone. I know Internationals aren't high end cars like the Redlines, walkinshaws and HSV's but does anyone know of a good exhaust system I could put on an International to beef up the tone a...

    Vf Hissing Noise

    Sighs and Moans usually come from the back seats of cars anyway, not where the engine is.... if ya know what i mean =P

    Vf Hissing Noise

    Could be a hose or something... pop your bonnet and check to make sure there's no hoses or pipes hanging loose... if it becomes a persistent problem i'd definitely get a mechanic to check it out

    Calais front seats...

    Hi Stefan I've actually never heard of this happening before.... The driver and passenger seats are generally secured in those little rails that allow you to adjust the seats back and forth aren't they? maybe a couple of the bolts or little runners that secures it to those rails has come loose...

    "International" Boot lid badge

    Ok, that'd be the most reliable source for measurements... i'll do some Googling and see if i can find anything.

    VF Random chat thread

    I drove a VZ executive for the best part of 7 years and I still remember the first time I test drove a VF not long after they were first released in 2013 and it was an SV6 and it felt like a V8 compared to my executive lol.. couldn't believe how luxurious it felt and in terms of power it wasn't...

    Another ZB bites the Dust !

    A car salesman I know told me that a lot of people are holding onto their VE's and VF models and not upgrading because no one likes the ZB model... I know car salesman can be full of it sometimes but he didn't come across as lying about this...

    What was your first impression of the VF model the first time you drove one? was it love at first rev?

    Last V8 sold

    Yeah fair dinkum.... I would have loved to have had a look at that caryard at the time lol my local dealer where I am has almost nothing in the way of commodores just a couple of SSV's and that's it they do get Clubbies in fairly regularly from other caryards that they're linked with.... Also...

    Missing Aerial....

    Yeah I'm not too concerned whether it's factory model or this beesting type one, I think the longer factory version looks a bit more stylish maybe thats just me.... but i just don't like the fact that they're a simple screw in job.... makes it a target for thieves -_-

    Favourite model of Holden Statesman / Caprice?

    My grandfather had the very first model of the Statesman that was ever released (can't remember the exact year model), i've seen it in photo's and definitely looked like one ripper of a vehicle for its time.

    "International" Boot lid badge

    My car doesn't even have the sidi badge either the boot lid is blank apart from the holden badge... it would have made it alot easier to be able to use one badge as a reference point for the other... hopefully can sort something out when i get them delivered

    Missing Aerial....

    Yep, just contacted the dealer before... Said he didn't realize it was missing but he's going to give me a spare he's got.... should be all good..... the international doesn't have the GPS system in it so i'm guessing the aerial i'm chasing is the one without gps?

    Missing Aerial....

    Picked up my new car the other day, VF International. I only realized yesterday afternoon that for some reason the Aerial is missing but the radio still works fine.... The aerial appears to be just a little black screw in type thing, should i hit up the dealer i bought it from and ask where it...

    VF Commodore Bonnet Protector

    I'm looking at getting a nice black bonnet protector for my VF International... Can I find bonnet protectors in any general car retailer like Repco or Supercheap Auto? Also do I have to get it specially fitted or is it easy to put on yourself? Thanks in advance!

    "International" Boot lid badge

    Hey guys, I'm picking up my new car tomorrow, a 2013 VF International and I just bought an "International" badge off eBay to go on the back of the boot as the car for some reason didn't already come with one. I know the Internationals usually have the badge towards the bottom left hand corner...

    Upgrading to a VF International

    That's probably why.... I only drive my car normally too I don't flog it like it's a V8 or anything as flash and normally all i'm doing is running to and from work majority of the week. I'm guessing because i've never really put the foot down in a VF i've never truly felt the difference, at...

    Last V8 sold

    Speaking of low k's I was just looking yesterday online at a 2017 HSV Maloo that only has 500k's on it..... no idea why a two year old Maloo would have done literally no work. Possibly reposession maybe? something about it just didn't seem right.....

    Coolant Level

    Maybe some top up coolant would be a viable option but if you haven't had a coolant flush done for a number of years that might be an idea.... your car will appreciate it bigtime.

    Steering Vibration when turning left?

    I had an issue about a year and a half ago in my '06 Executive, the CV joint i think it was in the front right had come out of place a little bit and when i'd be doing a sharp turn like a 3 point turn for example i'd hear a big grinding type sound. wasn't a vibration as such, just a grinding...

    Strange groaning / growling noise when cold

    It could be just a thing with Commodores in general when it comes to the cold weather... I live in Hunter reagion of NSW and i remember about 5 years ago My '06 VZ Executive started shaking like absolutely mad one morning in the middle of winter and I even had a fault pop up on the dash saying...

    Upgrading to a VF International

    I've test driven both cars and my father had a 2015 SV6 storm a couple years back that i drove a couple times. the International does feel VERY similar maybe not identical but very similar.... international has the 3.0L engine and the SV6 has the 3.6L.... would the extra 0.6L really make that...

    What deal did you get on a VF?

    I've just bought a 2013 VF International for just over $18,000 only done 70,000 k's. Everyone I spoke to thinks i got a good deal. and that price is inclusive with a 5 year protection plan. I pick it up wednesday next week, can't wait!

    Head gasket

    Hi guys, i've recently had a head gasket go in my VZ executive. apparently these engines (alloy-tec) are notorious for it. I've also been told to fix it it's going to cost more than the car is even worth. any of you guys have any information you could share about this?

    Upgrading to a VF International

    Hey guys, I currently drive a 2006 VZ executive, it's been a great car and served me very well but unfortunately one of the head gaskets has given way and to fix it it's an enourmous job from what mechanics have told me and it's going to cost more than what the car is even worth... Anyway, I'm...
