    What's this noise? Lifter tick?

    haha its the SS struggle, my issue I hear more inside the cabin, so it might be an exhaust leak or something carrying in, the tick you hear is injectors which hasnt been an issue, Think will need to pull the headers off and check the gaskets first

    VE Lemon?

    Hi all, hope everyone is safe and well through this quarantine thing (if in Victoria). Hoping for some help as I have another baffling noise issue with the SS. About 2 weeks ago, I would best describe it as a cupping, tapping noise I hear from inside the cabin with the noise coming from the...

    Custom Number Plates

    Bit late to this party but got a 2012 Series 2 VE SS, came with custom Holden plates in black and red (Vic): SS 6012 Guess that relates to the SS 6.0 litre and the build year

    Rattling under cab. Can't find anything loose.

    +1 I had the exact same issue with my series 2 SS, the cat converter inside went loose and rattled all the time, got it replaced but then same thing happened to the right side a few months later lol. Definitely do both together and if replacing with stock cats, make sure they use good...

    What's this noise? Lifter tick?

    FIXED! Ended up just being a hole-y gasket in the exhaust leaking. I still get some injector tick but it's not nearly as noticeable now. Car purrs now. Stay Corona safe, good luck guys!

I have a VE SS S2 with the L77, been getting a ticking noise at idle and with acceleration, usually till about 2000 rpm and engine take over from there. I thought it was injectors, which I have replaced...

    injector pulse noise

    Hi all, I've been going through some of my own ticking drama too. Quick facts, 2012 VE SS, manual, done about 110k kms. I've been getting a constant tick coming from the fuel rail, used a screwdriver and listen all around, took it to a mechanic who put listening devices around the engine and he...

    wierd ticking noise constantly coming from fuel rail?

    Thanks mate, sorry still pretty new to the forum, just tried searching for what seemed closest to the issue I'm having. st: 3076618, member: 65620"]Your mechanic should be able to easily identify an exhaust leak. Swapping parts is usually an expensive way to solve a problem. This is the VN-VP...

    Bump, so finally found a replacement cat, getting it put in early next week, is the purge solenoid replacement easy enough?

    VE Lemon?

    So just FYI, found out a VE cat converter with a flex head does not fit on the series 2 ss. Is there anything else I can do in the meantime before I bite the bullet and get a full system? I don't have ramps and wouldn't want to do that kind of work on jack stands. And it's weird, I need the one...

    VE Lemon?

    OK, I think I will take it back on to a muffler shop to fit, maybe midas couldn't get it right for some reason. Would you be able to show me where the purge solenoid is located exactly? The noise with the cats is the inside has broken apart and is rattling, more noticeable after engine heats up...

    VE Lemon?

    Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Yep I think better I just spend the money now and not worry about it it later. Now I have a spare cat that apparently won't fit on my car, should I take it to an exhaust shop to look at or is there a difference between s1 and s2 cats?

    VE Lemon?

    HI there, thanks for the reply. Car is a 2012 series 2 manual wagon, done 105,000kms, always serviced. I think the only thing it may need in the near future is a clutch once it goes. Anyway I had a day off today so did some looking and found a 2nd hand cat converter and took it down to the local...

    VE Lemon?

    Hi guys, I am new to this forum and new to v8s. I recently bought a 2012 manual VE ss wagon after much searching but seem to have some problems with it. I test drove it twice and was all good, the seller let me know the clutch was on the way out so probably something to get done in the next year...
