hey mate, Which connection did you unplugged? Single green wire connector or bigger plug looking one? Cheers,

I'm very interested to find out the solution for this problem too. It's giving me the s**ts. changed: new 02 sensors new injectors new plugs new leads air filter fuel filter temperature sensor temperature sender cleaned MAF cleaned throttle body new thermostat recently done...

G'day I have just recently replaced my gaskets (G torque). The VRS gasket set should have all the coolant o rings for your coolant pipes as well. You'd also needed new head bolts as recommended, you also needed fuel line disconnection tool, if you wanted to take the whole inlet manifold off...

I know this is an old thread, but you're a star mate. I've replaced the head and inlet manifold gasket, still overheating! Did a search and found this thread. Genius...much appreciated!:rofl2: Cheers mate.

Refer to the Tripin' thread, you'll get more info, Markovr (diagram) and 88greenvn (helpdesk) are the men!

I'm in the same boat and getting frustated.........:(:(:(

Agreed!....My first cheap pair of 02 sensors gave errors within a few months. As for the above mentioned brand, they looked ok but I got quoted 129 ea from burson and I believe they are made in JAPAN, so 100 bucks for a pair of bosch from ebay aren't too bad.......:):):):):):rofl2:

Could also be deteriorating positive cable that goes from the alternator +ve to battery +ve terminal.

Fair price Like everything in life, there are good and bad mechanics/bosses. My uncle used to work for a garage, a bloke brought his car in for a timing chain repair. My uncle repaired it without having to take the head apart. His boss told customer it was a big job and charged him $800 and...

hey Orgman, Pics for you.

Just refer to previous post, have a look at "Markovr" diagrams, he's good! Mine also a vs acclaim. You don't have to use the vr berlina loom, I think it's more work, Like Greenvn88 would say GRAFT the new loom which is 10 wires to your Acclaim loom and one 2.5 to 3 metres wire to the ECM...

Easy boys........lv3 cluster looks much better...agreed

I'm just curious....why would you go through all the trouble to put the lv3 cluster just to have the odometer? Why not just connect the whole lot and just use electrical black tape to cover what you don't want to see......

Have a look at this video and see if you could have a go. SPOTLIGHT For the material, I bought the track suit pants material because were easy to work with, anyway you could have some fun and tried something different. I felt very gay waited in line to buy the material and the women were...

I have installed the L3 cluster into my sister's vs acclaim, it worked find, thanks to the peeps who took the time to write it up and provided the diagrams. I used both of these diagrams to install the cluster. and In the first diagram the writing was so small it took me a while to figure...

qouting from previous forum, someone said it should cost $165 to buy from holden and to install it you have to remove the whole dash. Otherwise I'll cost $800 or so to get it install by someone else. For that price, I wouldn't worry about it mate. Just save up for your next car...:thumbsup:

The reason why there are two types of water pump is simply because of the front pully......the older version has no centre hub while the new one has.. There is a universal pump which has an additional spacer which gives it the extra gap. I bought it for less than $80 from MOTORPIT in...

I've got the 6" split in the front door pot and they sounded really good for a 149 bucks. 6.5" doesn't fit, too big !!!! With the 6" all you have to do is to cut the plastic cone inside which hold the speakers. To cut the cone, I used a thin blade with a pair of pliers, heated it up on the stove...

or the other subs would be a MTX ported or even the cheapy jaycar 12" is rated fairly good compare to the other competitors.

if you wanted to spend 200 dollars or so. I would suggest a pair of 6" response split from jaycar for $149 and pioneer 6" for the back about 110 from strathfield or JB hifi. If you wanted a sub, the response 12 " rated pretty good for the price. the reason why I wouldn't do 6x9 inch for the...

good double sided tape and self tap screw

The end of the metal rod you've mentioned should have some thread on it like a nut. If you look carefully where the heat exchange unit. There should be a white plastic liver, which allows the rod to be connected. You might need to use a flat screw driver to pry out the end bit of the white...

Has any VS owner got their Passenger side airbag cover pilling ? How did you fix the problem. any help will be much appreciated.

About the speedo, the people who have changed the face must have offset the reading. What you can do is to remove the speedo from the car with a phillip screw driver. There should be two screws above the facer, be careful at this stage not to also break any side clips. (note undo the...

if there is no water coming out, just unplug the motor and get 12 volt DC power source. Connect them up and see it works or not. Othewise trace back to the fuse and so on.

It's good to clean the throttle body and eliminate the errors. Personally I don't think it's gonna make any different unless the throttle body was very very very dirty. You might get poor fuel consumption but it wouldn't stall the engine or stop running. However I would suggest to ring a mate...
