    Weird idle issue

    V6. It sort of drops its rev's around every 2-8 seconds ever since i did a coolant flush and can't do up the thermostat housing properly. Would the air there be causing this idle issue?

    Weird idle issue

    Ok long storyshort, i did a coolant change the other day and replaced the thermostat. Now by the looks of it, i cross threaded the bolt near the fuel rail since it was hard to do up even by hand. Now i've noticed a little coolant leaks out of there daily and need to top it up a bit. But...

    Does this temperature seem high?

    Ok so i recently bought a Vy s pac with around 130,000km on the clock, and I've noticed no matter the conditions the temp gauge sits around halfway. Is that a bit high for just general daily use? It looks lower in the photo, but its pretty much sitting on halfway. Also the radiator is full & so...

    Rough idle.

    Quick question.. Now i have the new purge hose in.. and i was wondering at the back of the engine where it connects to that black sort of little box thingy.. at the bottom of it is it meant to just have some sort of hole area where air comes out or is there meant to be a hose connected to it...

    Rough idle.

    Cam Signal Error 48

    Ok so i took it into the mechanic today and he ran it through the scan tool which brang up the same error when the cars running and off. So i guess ill pull it apart tomorrow and move it around and see if the magnet is still there. Is it an easy job to fix if the magnet isn't there?

    Trac Off lighting up when air conditioner turned on.

    Little bit of an update... The car felt like going just past half in the heat gauge and then the Trac Off light came on again. Would that still be the o2 sensors?

    Trac Off lighting up when air conditioner turned on.

    I have a weird problem with my series 1 vt calais. When i turn my air conditioner on the Trac Off light seems to come on aswell. I cant turn it on or off via the button once this happens. But if i don't have the air con on it seems to work just fine? Any ideas?

    Cam Signal Error 48

    So its not a simple take new one out of package and install? Also i seem to be having a weird problem... putting into drive its fine, but if i put it into park the engine feels like its almost about to stall and goes to like 100rpm then goes back to normal and seems to really stutter in park...

    Supercharged VT Berlina air going through windscreen only

    Ok a bit of an update. Went over the whole car today and scored some free boost from perished hoses (from 2psi to around 5-6psi) All hoses around there seemed to be connected and in good condition going into the firewall. Do i need to pull my dash apart to check the hose once its inside?
