    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/174104296208 Just bite the bullet and buy new. Twisting wires are fine but a plug and play fix is always sweeter

    another 'outside temp' problem post

    VE alarms

    I had the same problem on my ssv. Turned out it was the microswitch on the bonnet latch. Replaced it with a genuine at about $90 and sorted my problem out. Hope this helps.

    Yes, Keep the shields. It protects the sparkplug boot from excessive heat from the exhaust manifold.

    Not 'The Commodore' ..............

    My wife was set on a CX 5 Gt turbo so we purchased one September 2021. It is a great car. I guess my only two gripes are the fuel economy, it is atrocious. I think the turbo + AWD system contribute to it and brake assist when you going around someone turning into a drive the brakes lock...

    Stability control fault

    Like I stated... When I had that come up on my VE I replaced my rear abs/traction sensor and no problem since. I also stated there are many things that can cause this to happen and I'm not sure if it's the problem... Just puting it out there what my solution was

    Stability control fault

    Btw, it could be an Abs module, I have never come across it on a commodore but did have to go to Tassie to change one on my mother in-laws Mazda 3. Common problem apparently for them. Not s hard job, Sourcing one was. Got it from the UK in three days and worked treat. Mazda wanted 2,200 to fix...

    Stability control fault

    Hope you can sort it. Btw it should be referred to as a wheel speed sensor...My bad.... It is for traction control and abs.

    Stability control fault

    When I encountered that problem it was the passenger side rear abs sensor. There are other things that can cause that to come up. Replacement of sensor fixed it for me, but I have a ssv sportwagon.

    Poor brake power after upgrade

    Just don't come to a full stop when bedding brakes, nor fast and furious braking. Gentle braking at all acceptable speeds I have found does the trick. Unless of course you are performing a roadworthy or pink slip brake test.

    Sure it's a cable ain't it?

    Ve service light wont remove

    If it's a service vehicle soon message on cluster it can't be reset. Different to a service reminder. Mine was on a ssv wagon and it amounted to an oil pressure sensor, changed that and it went away. Hope this might help

    Engine bay idler pulleys

    Have you degreased engine bay? Sometimes degreaser dries up things. Any belt noise I have had I put dry lube on and sorted. DO NOT USE WD40. Also any bearing play in any pulleys can make the belt not track. Check for belt wear on sides of belt. May be a tensioner? Just sharing my belt...

    VE Check oil warning.

    I have a 2011 ssv wagon and just recently had a SVS message on dash, Found info here on probable causes, Not sure of an oil level sensor but changed the oil pressure sensor located passenger side rear of engine and all sorted. 27mm deep hex socket and some patience. Love this site
