Thanks for the info. I may even look at swapping out the springs for some that are a bit higher and putting in new shocks and bushes.

OK so it looks like its the rear end then, thank you.

Hello there. I've got a Series 1 2000 VX Calais, its rear camber is out, has scrubbed the inside of the tyres. It's got stock springs, and is a bit low/soft from age however I like the ride height and comfort. I've just upgraded from 16" to 18" rims with 235/40 tyres. Should I invest in a...

I had another look, turns out I was being overly cautious and misjudged the situation, I just had to undo the nuts and the the airbag just came out. On a side note, the donor seat was a passenger seat and I swapped the mechanism to go in the drivers side. The seat cushions are perfectly...

Hello, I'm replacing the front seat on my VT Executive, the donor car has a side impact airbag and I would like to remove it rather than leave it there. I understand it can be dangerous and I don't want it to go off in my face while I'm removing it. I've peeled back the seat cover and exposed...

Hello, just posting my method for anyone silly enough to give it a go. For anyone not familiar, there is a 2mm or so lip in the centre bore of the wheel that needs to be machined out. I've seen some horrifyingly butchered rims that were hacked out with a dremel tool and used the VT 12mm wheel...

I tried a spare speedo from a VT berlina I have, and it is spot on, so I definitely know its in the speedo itself. Fiddled about with the menu button and accidentally found what looked like a calibration prompt, but was unsure of how to use it. Then found this...

Very good, I know what to look out for now.

Thanks for the info, will see if I can buy them.

Many thanks for the info. Have another instrument cluster, but has 350,000 K's on it, tested and its sounds are working, so should be able to diagnose the original one I think.

You are right about VA (not VH) being the standard ecotec engine prefix for a VX. But according to this site I googled: ENGINE NUMBERS VR is the supercharged model.

My VX calais is missing the warning chime, I don't get the "feed me... feed me" sound when fuel is getting low etc. I gather it was disabled by the previous owner who didn't want to fix the airbag module. I've removed the instrument cluster and can see there is a piezo speaker, but nothing...

I recently registered my L67 VX and the engine number prefix was VR and not VH like the normal engines I think.

One of my fog light bezels fell out somewhere. I got a second hand replacement without the clip and was wondering where I can get them, or what the clip actually looks like. The one on the other side just fell off in my hands, was stuck on with a blob of black silicon. Are there any...

Mine scrapes everywhere, but I live in a hilly town. I am considering swapping the springs out for ones from a vt berlina wreck I have. My other car is a VT and it has 17's and never scrapes anywhere. What exactly is the meter thingy on the dash? Maybe that's my problem

I finally got around to talking to a mechanic with the scan tool who then put me on to the holden dealer service dept, the guy didn't know anything about VX's (like whether it had a speedo gear or was electronic) but produced a well worn laminated printout showing me that at 110KPH on my speedo...

Hello, A few problems, maybe all have the same cause. I've recently bought a VX Callais, its V6 Supercharged, has been owned by a govt dept and old people and has been well looked after and properly serviced. It has factory 16" Alloys, not sure what tyres are on it (couldn't be bothered...

Fault 92 hasn't showed up again, but I suspect it will eventually. I have noticed the fan plugs are all greasy, and sprayed them (and everything else) with CRC. Tried all kinds of things isolating the starting fault, but now I think if I press the unlock button it will start correctly, but only...

I replaced the relays with ones from a working VT calais wreck I have. I should have said DIY, ie electric window from another car made to work even though it has a low level BCM.

Hello, I've got a V6 VT and about half the time it will have starting trouble. Once its running there is no problems at all. This has been happening for months since I hooked up a manual electric window (and disturbed the BCM wiring). I turn the key and it will begin to start then die, I'll...

Thanks for your reply. I just checked the relay, the new one is 5 pin, but has the wrong pinout, so I found one out of a wreck and its working now. I bridged pin 86 to ground and its working now. :)

2000 VT Executive Series 2 sedan. My low speed fan is not coming on, it just passes 104c and only the fan closest to the battery comes on at 108c. I bridged pins 87 and 30 on the relays and both fans work. Replaced relays and it made no difference, still only get 1 fan at 108c. Other...

Hey, I installed a power window from a VT Berlina in my VT Executive because my manual winder broke. I did search the forum, but did not find the right answer so just putting this here for future reference as it might help someone. I didn't want to swap the entire wiring loom because that...
