    Check engine light ?

    New engine because the timing chain is stretched.....WOW....what a mechanic....the code comes on because the cam/crank phasing is out of spec.

    Check engine light ?

    There is a switch in drivers door lock assembly. When that switch plays up the car stereo doesn't recognise that the door has been opened. Common prob

    Head Job???

    The ported 241"s will be fine...the cathedral port heads will give you excellent air speed if ported correctly. Thats not to say that there is nothing better out there,but for your combo they will work well

    6.0ltr Oil consumption....

    Did you check it before or after the tune you had done???? A few power runs on the dyno may have something to do with it also

    VE SS cat back exhaust

    Any local exhaust place will be able to do it....and considering the amount of rodders in your area,you have a good selection to pick from.

    Ve ssv my10 ute

    VCM have just released a 1 7/8 long tube tri-y header.They come of the head very nicely and are an excellent fit. I fitted a set a couple of weeks ago to a VE that already a 2 1/2"cat-back. Sounded awesome. I'm fitting a cam to it now so will let you know how it sounds/goes

    Which spark plug is better?

    Did you gap ALL the plugs before you put them in????.....cracked ceramic will cause a misfire. Have you checked that???...what temp range are the plugs that you put in and do they suit your engine configuration???

    Ve commodore timing chain

    When the chain stretches it brings up a code for cam phasing. The sensors are working correctly and are picking up the difference in timing between the cams and the crank. The chains won't neccessarily make any noise when this happens. But yes it will feel a little low on power due to the timing...

    New in-tank fuel systems for the Commodore VE and VE Series II

    Cool....i am running an Aeromotive filter in the cavity where the pollen filter gets fitted. Constant air flow allows cooling. And a external reg for boost referencing.

    New in-tank fuel systems for the Commodore VE and VE Series II

    Looks good.Crossover pipe looks the same as the Camaro. Easy adaption. Don't forget people that you will also have to set up an external filter as they are part of the pump assembly on a VE.

    ve 2010

    you have to love goverment thinking .....just flicked through the vicroads list. You cant drive a V8 Valiant Charger rated at 230hp yet you can drive an E49 Charger rated at 302hp. Logical......i think not.

    Ve front end knock??

    My VY used to make a noise sort of what you are describing. Mine was the bearing race at the top of strut.

    yet another delay!!!

    I ordered a VU SS 2 ute and it took 5 months. Was told when i ordered it that there was a 3 month wait. So was happy at that point as i had already heard of lengthy waits for them. Then apparently a supply problem at the time of the T56 gearboxes and then the SS FIFTY limited edition was...

    Catback exhaust & location of o2 sensors?

    The rear sensors are for calculating cat efficiency. When the cats are changed,the differences in readings between the front and rear sensors are beyond factory parameters and the light comes on.

    VE Omega V6 Coolant change/fuel filter

    The filter is part of a sealed unit. The pump can be removed from it,but the filter would have to be replaced and not cleaned. But from memory,you have to replace the whole shooting match

    VE Transmission Service

    Can do it yourself,but the car has to be level. ON the 6L80 you check the oil level by removing the drain plug in the pan. Yes the car has to running while this done. First you go into engineering mode on the centre screen in the instrument cluster. The transmission oil has to be at operating...

    VE SS self servicing

    every 5,000kms here. Gets pricy when there are 2 VE's in the driveway. but worth it in the long run. Use genuine oil filter,K&N air filters as both have OTR's and 10W50 in standard car and 10W60 in other one.

    I know of another Thunder that does this. Gets to 180(i think it is) and the needle sweeps back to zero and digital readout goes back to zero......but intersteingly,if you are data logging,the speed is carried correctly in the log. The computer knows how fast you are going,but the speedo just...
