Hi all, I have recently bought a VE Berlina that has no instant fuel or average in the small LED screen below the speedometer. Is this a known issue or has anyone had this issue before? The car has factory LPG and has been on that most of the time, I am currently away and can’t check but have...

Hi guys, changed the oil pressure sender and presto!! The gauge works like a dream, stoked!! Cheers to everyone for their help

thats all good info guys, i have now got a new oil pressure sender and am changing it out tomorrow, hopefully all good! Thoe oil pressure relief valve was definatly not stuck on so it hopefully is the oil pressure sender. Will pull the wire off to have a look. Cheers for your help.

Not sure of age of pump, how do you check that? Also do both rocker covers need a breather? I currently have one on the D/S front, just a chrome mushroom breather

Ok i will replace that, anything else that could cause it? it has got me stumped! How do you know if your engine is breathing enough?

Hi all, I am having problems with the oil pressure in my vk v8. When i start it the oil pressure gauge goes up to flat out and stays there, what would cause this? Is it the gauge maybe? It has a high volume oil pump on it, but i have run them before and they have never sat flat out the whole...

I have been told not to use anything with a rubber gasket as it causes the gasket to move as ari 666 said. Has anyone used the gasket on its own and what results did you have?

no definatly no chunky bits left on the sump or the bottom of the engine Yeah i had done them up finger tight and nipped them and left it for a week, now that i have put oil in it and started it, it leaked badly and i had to do the bolts up a bit tighter, say another half a turn? I dont...

No the sump is definatly not bent, i put it on a flat bench at a metalshop to make sure before i put it on. It is coming out from the gasket, i watched it tonight, how tight r your bolts on your sump? I just know that it slowed right up once i tightened it up more, but i do not want to...

Hi guys, I have a vk 308 black motor commodore and have just replaced the sump gasket as it was leaking quite badly. I went with a genuine holden rubber sump gasket and loctite flange sealant. I have started the car tonight and it leaked even worse to begin with. I have now tightened the...

Thanks Shearer. The fan does not run at all, and i s a 1988 model (1st generation model). Does anyone know where the earth for the fan is? Or any other ideas?

Hi guys, Just been driving my vn in the winter, and all of a sudden the fan has stopped altogether for the heater. I have checked relays, fuses and all sem fine. Im sure i have seen this discussed before, does anyone know what this is? Is there anyway i can bypass something to see if it...

Hi guys, i have now done all of the vacuumm lines in the car, and hace now gotten down to the final stage. The last line i need to know where it goes is called the air con purge line. It comes off the T-piece right near the vacuum line going to the inlet manifold for the engine. I have...

Hi guys, I have been helping a friend trying to get his vp v8 motor going. It is fully rebuilt with stage 3 cam and also ported heads, we have tried so many things to get it going. It seems to be only firing on number 6 cylinder. We made sure all of the leads were going to the right place...

Yeah my mate is a refrigiration mehanic, he just wanted to make sure he was putting the right amount of gas in. We ended up putting in 850 gms in of R134A and is working excellently. Also did a full vacuum of the system, will last for summer at least, cost a carton, so that will get me through...

Hi again guys, Just about to regas my air con in my vn 2m, i was wondering if anyone knows how much gas should be put in it to regas, the system is entirely empty. Cheers

Ok I have changed the MAP sensor, and it,is still missing.I have reset the battery and the code is now 12, all good. So it obviously wasnt that. It is still running rough, where is the IAC valve? Only other thing i was thinking is injectors? Only does it at idle, sounds good through the rev...

Thanx stocky, I have just finished looking at it and the vauum line is fine, would the map sensor make it run poorly whilst idling? I have also replaced the leads, spark plugs, gave it a service yesterday and checked that all parts of the coil pak were working, which they are. Any other ideas?

Hi all, I have looked through as many posts as i can and I ant find much on the MAP sensor. Apologies if this has been asked heaps. I did the fault test on my VN last night and it came up with error code 33. The fuel pump, fuel filter and water pump have just been replaced by myself...

sorry, i meant the automatic sensor for the driving lights Thanks

Hi doctor bob, i have a VY Clubsport, and for some reason the automatic sensor works sometimes, then most of the time the lights stay on all the time, even in the middle of the day. i have tried to turn it back in the options in the dash to come on late. but they still stay on all the time...

Hi guys, I am currently doing up a VK with a 308 in it, and would like to put an auto in it. I would like it to tough as i will be doing the odd bit of dragging, so a stage 2 would be good. It has a Trimatic bolt pattern, so if it were to be a Turbo type it would need an adapter. Do the...

Just wondering, im doing up a VK Commodore and im putting 17 inch mags on it, and am lowering it 45mm. Is your VH lowered and if so, do you have any problems with it rubbing on the gaurds in general, when turning, or going into corners hard?
