Thanks everyone for the feedback. My mechanic replaced the other ABS sensor and the issue seems to have been resolved (for now).

Thanks mate. What code reader do you use or recommend?

Thanks mate. I should also mention that I get a vibration/grinding through the brake pedal just before the warning comes on. Its as if for some reason the ABS engages itself and then realises something is wrong so it turns off the ABS and the warning appears. As I have had the loom and one...

Hi all. I hope someone can help. I had been getting an ABS warning before Xmas so my mechanic replaced the rear ABS loom and one speed sensor. I think he cleaned the other sensor (not 100% on this). All was OK up until this week and now the ABS warning is appearing again. When I connected my...

The "Voice In" message appears whether there is a device connected or not. I have deleted the paired connections as well and the message still appears. Its a strange one.

Thanks mate. Yea, for something that should work well, it is quite glitchy at the best of times. Ive seen both positive and negative reports on the Aerpro so have been a bit cautious about upgrading. Also I know that an Aerpro fascia for the Series 2 was in development but haven't heard anything...

Hi all. I hope that someone can help me with the following issue. On my 2012 VE Equipe IQ, a message 'Voice In' frequently appears. When this message appears the music cuts out and I have to press cancel for the radio/music to start again. Some days this happens one time on a long drive, some...

For the East Coasters, there's a guy in Melbourne who is doing these. He does all the work, thinks it's around $800.

If you are on Facebook he has a few videos of it working and some other details on his page. If you message him he'll send you on the guide.

Yes, they are one of the companies. They have also sent out a DIY guide of how to set it up. Doesn't look too tricky.

Still waiting as well. However, Carplay and Android Auto is now available for the IQ. There's a guy in Melbourne doing it and a guy in Perth. I see a lot of Series 1 owners upgrade to Aerpro and then change again to the IQ as they have Aerpro issues. Not sure what to do myself.

Thanks for that. I prefer the S2 layout as the screen is higher than in the S1 which I think makes a difference to operation. I'll hold out for the Aerpro S2 fascia for a little while longer.

Yes. Send on the details please. Thank you.

Hi. Any update on when the Series 2 fascia will be available? What would it take to fit a S1 Aerpro fascia into a S2?

Got this job done today by my local mechanic. You were spot on with the price. $550 all in. Not great but not the end of the world.

The statement that green coolant leaks less is interesting. A lot of cars take green coolant and still leak. In my opinion leaks are more related to design and build of car and age/kms of car. I would be hesitant to change the type of coolant.

I drove Saabs for the best part of the last 5 years back in Ireland. Saab stopped production in 2011. The majority of parts are still easily had at fair prices. As with Holden, a lot of Saabs parts were generic GM parts used in Opel, Vauxhall etc I personally wouldnt be too worried about parts...

Thanks for that. Yes, for a thermostat that's expensive but not the end of the world. Will confirm that that's the issue this weekend and drop it into the mechanic next week.

Yes, I was thinking that might be the issue. I haven't had time to investigate further but have had to top up the coolant this week already so need to get it sorted. I don't think I'll have time/patience to do this job so will get the mechanic to do it. How much roughly did this cost you as...

Good to hear all is working now. It would be great to know what causes this issue if anyone ever finds out, but the workaround of vents on feet will keep me going for a while.

I would guess, that it failed half the time before I changed the vent direction on shutdown. It's a guess though as I didn't really count. I dont do anything to the fan speed. Leave as is. I just ensure that when the car is turned off the air is pointed at my feet. I didn't try face and feet...

I leave the fan on, I just make sure that when the car is turned off that the air is pointed at my feet.

Just had a good look over the engine and looks like I have a coolant leak at the back left hand side of the engine. I can't see where it's coming from, but can see where it's running along. It looks like more of a weep than a leak. I have put an arrow beside this in the picture. I know that the...

I also turn the engine straight on, if that makes sense, and dont leave it in electronic on/accessory mode as this confuses it even more.

I have a similar issue on my MY 12 VE Series 2. I find that the face vents do not always work on start up. To resolve I just make sure that when I turn off the car the air is set to blow at my feet. When I turn the car back on, I then cycle the air to blow at my face and this works as expected...

Hi all. As always when I fix one issue another appears... When replacing my brake fluid reservoir the other day I checked my coolant level with the coolant dipstick and noticed that the dipstick was dry. I topped up the coolant with about a liter of Red Dexcool and said that I would keep an eye...

Hi all. Finally I had time to do this job so replaced my brake fluid reservoir yesterday. I managed to get a reservoir for $42 from Holden which came with additional screws and fittings. I suctioned all of the fluid from the reservoir but fluid remained in the master cylinder throughout this...

Thanks all. Do I need to bench bleed the master cylinder if I'm just replacing the reservoir?

Hi all. So as thought above it is the sensor in the reservoir that is at fault. Quick question to anyone that has replaced the reservoir, do I need to bleed the ABS after replacing the reservoir? Ill bleed try the brakes as normal but as I'll probably be introducing air into the system when the...

Good idea. Will try that tomorrow.

Hi all. I took the car to a local mechanic and, of course, the warning light disappeared as I arrived at the garage. The mechanic then scanned all systems and didn't find any error codes. He is at a loss as to what it may be. As the warning returned again this morning, I think I will try 07GTS's...

Thanks all. To further muddy the water, I find if I park on a hill, nose down, leave the car for an hour or so and come back, the message is gone. Possibly unrelated but quite unusual and this can be replicated every time. Its going into a local mechanic later in the week so I'll update this...

Thanks all for the comments. Yes, I had thoughts pads, which are a little low, but then confirmed that there is no sensor for these on the VE. I'm going to drop it into the local mechanic during the week as I think it needs a proper scan to confirm what the issue is. I had hoped that I could...

Hi all. I have been getting a Brake warning message on start up the last few days. Some days it goes off after a few minutes and some days it stays. I read in the workshop manual that this can mean a low brake fluid level or an issue with the ABS. The brake fluid is full so I'm thinking ABS...
