have you done the coils? this may not apply to your situation but 99% of the time its coils that make the vzs stall or miss.

haha thats wicked mate! sounds like a jet. so what was it like before the 3 inch? also whats a pyro gauge and do colorados have them do you know?

Ive got a diesel colorado 2009, in the service book it states valve clearance adjustments at regular intervals. Cant remember maybe 90k. My question is is it really necessary, does ANYONE actually do these things? Like theres plenty of things manufacturers recommend that nobody does and their...

Alternator, thats surprising. Ill check if anything is loose. Codes? No i dont have the tech 2 tool. I was just hoping someone had experienced the same problem. Ill prob book it in at the shop

Just wanna add my 2 cents. I found this thread after i thought the piston was stuck on the rear of a vx i did brakes on. I wanted to check if it screwed in like a 2000ish astra. i had the proper caliper tool and the piston wouldnt budge but after seeing a pic on this site and copying the...

hi guys wonder if anyone knows the issue with my 09 colorado. its diesel, auto, and 4wd. about 6 months ago the warning light came on on the dash, the rev meter stopped working, and the brakes lose their vacuum assist but it mainly only loses it at low speed like going through a carpark, say...

how'd you go with this op? update?

^^ wow that is amazing! does other models share the same suspension as the gts? if not what could be done to say a berlina or omega to get the same handling? costly?

cool got a pretty good idea now. my ecotec is using 13-14 so can't wait to buy my v8. just waiting for a good one to be advertised. prob just mild mods i reckon.

really?! even just a simple sway bar. ill keep that in mind. so what do u guys reckon stock, not a massive improvement of previous models??

thats pretty good for that much power considering. what is the main contributor do u reckon mate? cam?

yeh we had a vz wagon. from auctions and an ex paramedic car so may have been clapped out but it handled shocking, especially in the wet! so the ve's aren't that crash hot ey. could definitely stiffen things up and improve it. apples aint apples,same size/weight don't mean shite. had a girl try...

20?!?! without even cam,diff,stall. guess those short trips kill ya. my work is 11km away so round trip of 22km a day i can expect similar.

do different models have different suspension? i would've thought as with most previous models, mainly hsv got an upgrade.

hey guys, i read that holden put 1 billion dollars into developing the ve commodore. people say a lot went into the suspension and it handles like a dream. can anyone confirm? compared to previous models? i bought my mrs a 2010 mazda 3 and the handling is amazing, even in the wet! quite a...

looking at buying vx-ve lsx. more than likely a vy. can u guys list ur vehicle and mods and economy. thanks. im hearing mixed results. some guys getting 13-15l around town others getting 19-24l!!! I'm prepared to use more fuel owning a v8 so don't give me that crap but my 8tonne truck...

sorry, i meant the commodore ones. he opened one and showed me and the battery is spot welded on. he reckons u cant anyway....

haha couldnt agree more!!! we are all here to help each other out, thanks to all the helpful posters. the only option was as i did today, trailered the car to the dealership 15 mins away and i returned 4 hrs later and all done ;) $160 all up plus $70 for the trailer. fyi i tried misterminit...

brother priced one to come out, 385-500. might have to trailer the car to the dealership. 220-270 this will cost for a freakin key! that'll learn me to leave it in my pocket of old pants then the mrs throws them out. doh!

that quote WAS from hyundai dealership. can they program it? wouldnt they need a code etc from the dealership? any idea of price range for one, northern subs melb?

my vs used 13l last week and i pretty much just go to work which is 15 min each way with cruise set on 80km/h and 1-2 light stops :/ horn packed up other day when i turned, leaking radiator and rear main, sagging roof, worn shocks, 320k, and a spider just made its home INSIDE the drivers window...

hey guys, lost my brothers key to his hyundai. he has one that is plain metal and opens doors and goes in the igntion but it doesnt start because the immobiliser is on the black section of the key that i lost. hyundai want about $220 to cut one and programme it and we have to take the car...

just the 3&6 pack. i changed the 1 &x pack 2 years ago 2nd hand. i reckon its rarely the dfi.

ok will give it a crack. thanks

i replaced my radiator about 1-2 years ago with an elcheapo from ebay. was fine for a while, but prob the last 6mths to a year its been leaking out the cap. i put a brand new one on, cnc brand i think but still leaks. any ideas besides changing radiator? could prob chase up the ebay...

me and some other posters replied to the op. howd u somehow hijack hes thread lol.

cheers ephect, so what kind of fuel figures were u and most getting before and after this mod? btw coil is fixed now.

yep i heard bfII got stronger. looking at vx berlina or calais cos i like the boot and with a clubby bodykit or a vy any model. would love a 6L but not really willing to go that high in price.

naaf would be more qualified to answer most of them. im like u, never cared about the drone. in fact i cant tell the difference lmao. ppl always complaining and im like whattttt. so if u just want it loud and beasty go that system without a resi. i have no ressy and i like it. i could take a...

i just changed my ecotec coil. was lucky to swap it with another spare to find the failing one. be awesome to know how to test them without a spare. someone should do a "how to" good stuff by futech. i learnt a new word ocsiluheydbfhdhdbdscope, yeh that one lol.

was coil 3&6 mate cheers

but i used to get less :( and i read i think dannyboy on here gets 6 on the highway. its manual too. i have had a leaking radiator cap tho (unpressurised) and recently a coils been on the way out. changed today so ill see. cap is new and still leaking, highly annoying

cheers for that. yeh be hard to find one not thrashed. have to buy off some old codger. im tempted to spend 8-12k and get one with everything done including cam, diff, tranny etc. theres a few floating around but the question needs to be asked, how thrashed are they and why are these...

turned out to be the coil pack that sparks 3&6. dad was a good sport letting me mess with hes perfectly running vs lol, but after driving over his joint and changing them with both cars side by side i got home and searched and found some spare coils i had laying around. anyway glad shes all...

u just went full retard. u never go full retard.

k gonna do that now

stuff it im making a thread lol. searched, asked around and nothing so here goes. 97 vs v6 manual wagon 315k lately its been missing or stuttering under medium to heavy acceleration usually exiting a corner or roundabout. does it in 3rd at low speeds (under more load) like when i prob should...

well i dont know, just as you also do not. im giving my opinion based on experience. he said, "what other mods should i do to it?" so could spend thousands on mods when he could spend less and just buy a 5litre for couple grand. same or more power and imo cant beat the sound and feel of an 8...

im sure i read about someone on here that couldnt find a leak and it turned out to be a welch plug once the tranny was removed. has it always ran coolant? the red one i think yeh?

yeh does it have to show codes or check engine light to have this issue? mines using about 12 combined and 10 highway and its always serviced and new walker brand o2' and its still crud. 315k tho and same injectors. can anyone post there before and after fuel consumption comparison?
