So I talked to a nice guy at Holden who advised me that it could be a statuary warranty claim. It would have to be inspected by a Holden service centre mechanic to verify the the issue and then a claim lodged. It'd be a **** fight that could take who knows how long. Couldn't be fucked to be...

@Voodo_SV6 Yes I understand it's out of warranty, but the service schedule says the transmission is done at 150000km or 90 months, whichever comes first. The last 2 services the car was over 90 months old, they'd have known that and they could have at least asked if I wanted it done. @greenacc...

@Z31na Thanks for the advice. It's $3300 including labor. @DavesSV6Tonner I've recently bought a 2014 Colorado for work. I'm close to those guys so I'll be booking that in there today so I don't have a repeat. Thanks.

Had it serviced when the cars indicator on the dash said it was due. It was always around the time in the book. The dickheads didn't even stamp the book twice, they said there was no log book but it's never been out of the glove box. I just called them and said I want to book it in for a service.

OK so you can see by the title I'm a bit pissed off. All of a sudden the orange engine light went on in my VF. Then it started making a noise and it wouldn't go past 3rd gear. Turns out the transmission is screwed. The oil in it is just black sludge with bits of metal in it. $3300 for a reco...

Yeah it stays on. To get rid of it I have to press the menu button.

Hi My Rear passenger belt reminder light (the 3 symbols in the dash display) is staying on all of a sudden when I start the car. I had this issue with the service reminder and stopped it by holding the ignition button in for 10 seconds and pushing the accelerator pedal 5 times, but can't find...

Hi all. I'm looking to get an OTR install and tune for my VF SV6. Any suggestions for places in Brisbane? I've had a quote from one place for $1650 which seems a little up there.

Just dragging up an old thread in case anyone in the future may be interested. I have a 2016 SV6 Black edition that I purchased privately about 5 months ago. I just noticed 2 weeks ago when vacuuming the carpet that the carpet was wet on the passenger side both front and rear Jumped on this...

I listen to podcasts that I've downloaded to my phone via Bluetooth It annoys the **** out of me that every time I start the car (after having been listening to one) it starts with the radio and I have to manually switch it to Bluetooth again. Same if I was streaming music from Spotify on the...

Thanks to everyone who gave their 2 cents worth. I just picked up a lovely white 2016 SV6 Black edition. Really happy with my choice. It's got everything I could want, and the HUD is awesome. :) Only things I think it could do with is a window tint and maybe lowering by an inch?

That's interesting. I'll have to look into that a bit further. Thanks.

Anyone who's 6 foot or over like me finds most car seats uncomfortable after a while They're made for shorter people (the average) Calais seats have more adjustment settings I think?

Good points. I don't need heated seats (I'm in Brisbane) or memory seats, but I would like leather I never thought of changing the steering wheel so thanks for the idea. Sv6 is looking the better choice.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. much appreciated. When looking at both, the Sv6 is a much nicer looking car from the outside but those leather seats and the interior of the Calais look awesome. And for some reason I just love the stearing wheel in the V with the flat bottom! The speaker...

Hi all. I'm in the market for a 2nd hand car with a Max budget of $25000. From looking around I've gotten down to a choice between a 2017 Sv6 or a 2014 Calais. I like the sporty look of the Sv6 but the Calais with all the bells and whistles is appealing. Granted it will be a few years older and...
