VX HYDRAULIC RADIUS DAMPERS hi rob - my VX (year 2001 - 120000ks) is starting to get a little uncertain on undulating roads at 100'ks , and I'd like to get it feeling tight again, I've eliminated the obvious, new tyres, wheel alignment, and i'm wondering what to look at next. All the bushes...

My old VR acclaim had the same problem - got all the bushes tightened (yours may need replacing) and a good wheel alignment and it drove like new. Most likely problem areas are the bushes on the radius arms (front bushes esp) . For some reason the bushes on the small link that joins the end...

Thanks Rob for answering my 10-10 question - you put my mind at rest!!

VX series 1 2001 - diagnosic fault codes - "10-10" My car (and others on this thread) flash a ten ten code on the engine light when you put it in diagnosic mode. It always flashes 10-10 three times, then 1-2 (ie 12 no probs) then 10-10 again. The diagnostics seem to work ok - from time to...

My previous car was VR V6 Series One - 1994 Automatic Transmission- usually on econ setting Acclaim Sedan Whether you have a CAI (Cold Air Intake) Whether you have a K&N filter Std Exhaust 38-42 psi 15" rims How much excess luggage do you take in your car - prob 10-20kgs How...

Yep prop not worth it. Manual heater controller uses - A manual vacuum switch (basically a tap) to control the air doors such as demist, up down etc. It does this with air hoses at manifold vacuum pressure. - A resister pack and swich to control fan speed - a mechanical wire lever to control...

Rough idling is most likely due to disconnecting the battery - this clears many of the sensor maps in the ecu back to their default settings. With wear and tear every sensor is slightly different in the values it reads and the ecu is smart enough to 'learn' the specific ones in your car. After a...

If you change from VT lights -> to -> VX lights make sure you don't lose the reflectors - VX exec tail lights have no reflector - reflector is in the bumper assy itself. If you get VX belina/calais tail lights no prob - these ones have reflector built in.

I replaced my vx sender unit last month - this is a really common fault. New sender cost around $100 and you have to pull the tank out. seems a crap solution but after trying to fix the old sender a while back (lasted only a few weeks) I'd say that purchasing the new sender and dropping the...

Ah the TEN TEN code <-- like wtf is this?? My VX Berlina does this too 10 10 12 10 10 12 ... 10 isn't a REAL code in my gregorys, and anyway it is SUPPOSED to flash 12 three times BEFORE it flashes any fault codes. No obvious fault, engine light doesn't come on or anything, and you can't...

1.6 when warm and idling in drive 1.9 same, but with a/c on

Gregory's Manual tells you how to get in there safely... The dash bulbs in my vx are crap - I've replaced about 7 or them now. Never blew one bulb in my old vr... Can get cheap bulbs from dick smith, but unless you are handy with a soldering iron, might just be better to buy the bulbs you...

Same problems with my vx berlina - fuel gauge reading all over the shop. Measuring the resistance of the sender with a multimeter showed all sorts of wacky readings. Eventually pulled the tank out and cleaned the sender contacts >carefully< with 600 grade sandpaper. They were covered up...
