    LS1 tune check engine warning

    Just the standard sensor mate. I was thinking they threw a MAF-less tune on it, hense the error. They're not open on weekends so I'll have to wait until Monday. It's running pretty good with both it plugged in and not, doubt a Maf tune would be any good unplugged. Hopefully it's ok driving it...

    Fuel gauge help

    No it's the standard SS single window red cluster. It's got me stumped.... Only thing I can think of is maybe if it was a mail order type tune it could came from a ute? But would this affect the cluster? I've found a guy who can come to work and reprogram it for $70.

    Fuel gauge help

    So be looking at the thread you started about clusters years ago, the serial number of my cluster isn't matching with my VIN. I've got no idea why you would change a cluster from an ss to another from an ss, I hope this wasn't done to bring the km down.....

    Fuel gauge help

    I've had it since around Christmas mate. That's bloody weird then..... It has been tuned so I was told, I'm not sure by who tho. Maybe they flashed a tune from a ute? Also the sender was showing 102 Omhs

    Fuel gauge help

    It's a sedan so they have the 75L tanks, good thing is I guess I know I've got plenty of fuel still when it hits empty. I called Holden's and they reckon they'll charge me $98 just to look at it, and would want it for a day to check it all out. Called another dealer who said the flash...

    Fuel gauge help

    Hey guys Just after some advice, does anyone know if there is a flash fix or similar that could recalibrate the fuel sender on my ss? I'm pretty sure it's reading incorrectly, it's a standard tank but seems to not be using the correct amount of fuel. I ran it to the empty line today...

    Doors locking automatically

    Thanks for the advice mate, but the auto lock isn't enabled. It's actually from the jolt of shutting the door, so the car doesn't even need to be on. Although I have recently changed the way the door unlocks so all doors unlock when pressing the button rather then just the drivers door...

    Doors locking automatically

    Hi guys I've noticed this problem happening with my ss a few times the past month. When I get in and pull the door shut, all the doors lock. I didn't think about it too much just thinking I'd knocked the lock with my elbow or something. Until this arvo after work when I turn the car...

    Suspension Help

    They were fitted by my brother who is a diesel mechanic. He used his workshop to put them in. He told me that they had an inbuilt washer welded on them, I'm guessing this is what's snapped. Hopefully was just a faulty weld and it wont happen to the drivers side one. I bought the car privately...

    Air conditioning problem

    I had tried that, and i didn't hear the noise start up, but this was only idling in the yard didnt take it for a spin. Did yours only squeak when the aircon was on and even then after turned off for a while?
  29. robmc

    Air conditioning problem

    Sorry to bump this thread but if the squeaking only occurs when the AC is on, would this be a compressor bearing, or could it be an idler due to the extra tension on the belt. I replaced my belts today and the two idlers on the AC side had a tiny bit of play in them, like a mm. Any...

    Hey Mate. Just sending you a message due to a thread you started a few years ago about your fuel latch. If you can remember, did you manage to get the latch apart to look at the spring or did you replace the whole lot cable and all? Ive got a whole new assembly but dont want to pull the hole...

    Air conditioning problem

    is this fixable uniacidz? Do you think it could be an idler pulley? I'm hoping its an easy fix I can do myself.
  33. robmc

    Air conditioning problem

    yeah thats my thinking. Maybe the compressor still needs to run for a while once the AC is switched off, hence the noise..?

    Air conditioning problem

    Thanks for your reply Sandman. I've just got to work and don't have any photos at the moment. I can't figure out what to do with the two tabs that look like they screw to the side of the stereo, they didn't supply any screws either. The front of the facia doesn't seem to fit over the stereo...
