    keep gtting a flat battey: battery or alternator?

    It does, when the base software gets updated the firmware within the dash gets updated as well and not to mention that there is a huge list of these version numbers available on the forum from people that already had the same problem. So logically if the version of the dash is newer than the...

    keep gtting a flat battey: battery or alternator?

    Also don't forget that VE's had a big problem with it's programming as well, what year is your VE and could you also check what version the program is in your car by going into maintenance mode? Should be able to go into maintenance mode by holding in the enter or menu button on the steering...

    Yeah, it's a problem when people start using engine codes to start a threads as well, doesn't help with searching at all. Generally the coding is the same as car manufacturers all use the same coding except for unique codes which usually starts with different letters but still a good chance it...

    I completely agree, this forum is a great place for advice and generally searching is more encouraged than just providing a link as an answer because there are those who don't even bother searching, generally new members which you are obviously not. So how would those new members learn to even...

    VE SSV headunit reprogramming

    Check out No Limit Electronics, they reprogrammed mine. In order to install a stereo from another higher model car, the stereo needs to be reprogrammed to work with his SV6 HVAC controller.

    Alloytec and SIDI Cam Development

    The harmonic balancer removal tool used by Holden is almost as expensive as the kit itself. This is just a link to the manufacturer of the tool but a quick search on google will get a general idea on the price: G & G Technics Pty Ltd .. Innovative Automotive Tools & Equipment --- I read...

    Hey, I sure did, it had to be reprogrammed to work with my HVAC unit. It was done by a mob in Melbourne, No Limit Electronics, they were very helpful.

    Steering wheel

    If you go with the SSV or above type of steering wheel then you will need more than just the steering wheel. With mine they had to replace the plastic surround to allow it to fit properly but the airbag is fully compatible. In my case they also required the VIN for an SSV or above to order the...

    cpr6 manifold fault??

    I eventually did get a fault code and that was from the extra airflow and cause I changed my exhaust, which a tune can remove. Oh and removing the butterfly intake runner on mine did not give me an error code, even though mine is a VE I don't see that the VZ would have an issue either. Phil did...

    Adjust VE headlights?

    They are adjustable, they should have a lug or something which can be turned by a flat head screw driver. Just take a good look, they can be on an odd angle and they are small. Also be aware that the angle of the low-beam must also meet certain regulations. I've attached a link to the...

    2006 VE Omega Part number ???? Engine check Light ???

    That would be the part number of the dash or something like that, it wouldn't be related to the error. To find the error code you'll need an odbii reader. You can get a cheap one off eBay or just take it into holden or a mechanic with a reader to get checked. If you really want to know what...

    VE Workshop manual ???? (for a SV6-2008)

    Correct Coast_Calais, it is the online electronic copy, just printed as PDFs. I've done the same before when I had access to the online version and mine too had the embedded links. The only difference is that the person who completed the copy available went to a lot of effort. It's not like you...

    Hi, Welcome Geir. In regards to the error codes. Mostly any OBD II device will work fine, some will come up with different code but the definition usually works out to be the same as the original and you will be able to find it on the web. However if you want the proper codes from the car...

    Wow, learn something new everyday. :) I always wondered why they just didn't do that from the beginning.

    ve omega Ly7

    Omega came with the LE0 where as the higher end models came with the LY7. The LE0 being 175/180KW flywheel and the LY7 was 190/195 flywheel. If the build plate states that it's an LY7 then it could possibly be a special request by the police.

    Removing this part of the dash on a VE Calais?

    There should also be a tab that intersects with the glove box. I've had to remove the glove box first to get that section out. Plus mine also has 4 screws holding it in, 2 under the centre speaker panel and 2 behind the dash strip. so check carefully before you start pulling at it.

    Ve workshop manual

    I don't take offence and I'm not upset about it either, so don't worry about it. Plus I knew exactly what to look for because I did post in the original. Plus I found the ACDelcotds site through Google instead of searching a forum, so it was much harder for me to find it the first time round. :D

    That's why you will mostly find the service information online, through the proper channels of course, or you'll need to be very good friends with someone at a dealership that has access to the service information.

    VE SV6 head unit removal and head uni fascia removal

    VE SV6 head unit removal and head uni fascia removal

    Everything is possible, this has actually been covered so a search might help but I got No Limit to reprogram my HVAC unit to work with a Calais headunit and they changed the colour of the unit to white/blue to fit with my Phreddy'd dash lighting. Apparently to get oil temp/pressure/voltage to...

    CPR6 manifolds

    There are no electrical connections on the CPR6 because it doesn't have the variable inlet valve. You can remove the valve from the original and mount it near by or you can put up with an error code that keeps coming up.
