    Holly Crap Fuel Usage!

    Your fuel consumption is completely normal when towing. The tune is not designed for towing. When towing over a ton your fuel consumption can easily reach in excess of 30L per 100km. I know as I have a 6X4 box trailer with a solid ramp. The aerodynamics are terrible.

    LPG Fuel?

    Nope you have that the wrong way around. Duel fuel LPG converted Commodores are in demand for odvious reasons and are worth more than the eqivalent petrol Commodore. Most insurance companites rate a duel fuel car one thousand dollars higher then the non-converted eqivalent. Finding a good one is...

    vs trans fail

    If you are going to replace your trans it is a good idea to fit one from a VT or VX as they are stronger and more reliable. I am selling one for $350 from a VT that travelled only 95,000kms.

    can i change theinner tank fuel tank return hose?

    The return hose which i added returns the fuel to the area of where the bag/paticle filter on the fuel pump sits. When this sits in the tank the fuel is returned directly into the swirl pot (not base of tank like a said before, bad wording). The setup worked perfectly, the car never stalled with...

    can i change theinner tank fuel tank return hose?

    I had this problem. Just connected a fuel hose to the return on the tank reciever and directed it the the botton of the tank so it layed on the base of the tank. Fixed the hose to tank reciever with clamps. This is the same setup many european cars run and works perfect. the mod took about 2...

    Need to get my VS running!! Few bits missing, please help to identify them :)

    I had a VR sitting for 6 years. The fuel became so stale that it melted the fuel pump and turned into a blob of plastic. Fuel hoses in the tank were also mented. Also all 6 injectors were dead+fuel regulator for the same reason. Fuel was so stale that it killed the new pump within minutes...

    1993 vr gearbox the number is it? EG (3HDD 4HDD, 5HDD ECT)

    It will bolt up fine and work fine under 80km/h. Going 80km/h+ the torque converter will not lock up properly and run the risk of cooking itself with the 5dhh used instead of 4dhh. The car will also throw a error code with the 5dhh trans. 4dhh is 12 pins 5dhh is 13 pins. 12 pin and 12 pin boxes...

    Is it possible to blow both head and manifold gaskets???

    I once replaced the inlet manifold gasket on a VR where water was gushing out of the exhaust and the oil was full of water. (had good compression though) The inside of the engine looked much like yours when removing the rocker cover. I replaced the inlet manifold gasket, changed the oil and the...

    Blown manifold or head gasket???

    I disagree. Get a replacement engine. A VS ecotec engine is cheap as. That engine is full of sludge, has been cooked and has a deathly rattle. I do not think your block is very healthy.

    desparate need of help

    Do you have water in the oil?

    Replaced head bolts !! (same problem)

    I am still thinking intake manifold gaskets. Yes blown intake gaskets can send coolant into the oil and exhaust. Had it happan on a VR engine (coolant in both oil and exhaust). Replaced intake gaskets and all was good. If it is the cylinder head or gead gasket coolant will will be in the oil and...

    5hdd in a 4hdd vr

    I was not simply trying to sell you a box, I was just trying to help. 5hdd was used from about October 1994 to September 1995 and has 13 pins. A 5dhh box is a 5dhh box and was fitted to BOTH VR series 2 and VS series one. It makes no difference what car it was from. Like i said it will bolt up...

    This idiot re-used head bolts

    I have also re-used head bolts on a VR and never had a problem. I suspect you did not align the intake gaskets correctly as this can cause this.

    a few questions about my vs 3.8

    The OP has a VS so the above is written for a for a VS Sedan. My VR Acclaim does not have duel airbags either, no VR did. All VR Acclaims came with one drivers airbag standard. Duel airbags were first introduced in the VS series. Looking over it though you could apply the same range to the VR...

    [SA] Lots of VN-VS parts.

    The Brand is Nadrad i think but will double check tomorrow. It is about 5 years old. Works well, has no leaks and was always used with pre-mixed coolant not water. The temperature guage never went above 1/3 of the way up so is clean on the inside.

    5hdd in a 4hdd vr

    It will bolt up fine and work fine under 80km/h. Going 80km/h+ the torque converter will not lock up properly and run the risk of cooking itself with the 5dhh used instead of 4dhh. 4dhh is 12 pins 5dhh is 13 pins. I am selling a good 4dhh with 166000kms for $300 if you are interested.

    1995 vs streering rack

    If it is leaking that badly then it is most likely not a rack ploblem. I would be more inclined to check the hydrolic and return hose that are known to fail more commonly then the rack.

    vr problems

    The fan issuse is caused by a fualty fan speed resitor sensor. It is a very common item to fail. It is located under the black plastic under the windshield. You will need to remove the windscreen wipers to remove the plastic. It is held in with two screws and looks like a small birdcage. Also...
