    L67 VT Wiring loom into VY

    Thanks for the info, How is the body loom separate in the VY but not in the VT/VX? I did notice a extra plug hanging down near the ECU when I took it out of the VY, I'm guessing this is sort of similar?

    L67 VT Wiring loom into VY

    Hi Guys, Have just done a L67 transplant out of a VT into my VY. I have already had the BCM and ECU linked together, my question is about the 3 Plugs in the engine bay near the drivers side that were on the VT, are these neccesary in the VY? These are the 3 plugs I'm referring to Thanks Fststig

    Weird network problem

    Try and Ping the Billion modem, I'm thinking its a IP assigning issue as well. I would turn DHCP back on and let windows do its thing, if that works you can try and turn DHCP back off to have them set as a static IP.

    VS cutting out. Desperately need help!

    Give your Throttle body a clean, as well as your TPS and IACV (The two sensors on your Throttle body) The ECU doesn't generally log a code when the CAS sensor goes, but it is the only sensor behind the Harmonic Balancer. Make sure that you clean the sensors in some CRC Automotive electrical...

    Make sure your MAF isn't clogged up with crap, try giving it a clean with some MAF Cleaner. There might be a Dirty injector as well.

    Check your front Castor rod/radias arm bushes and lower control arm bushes. Also check your Link Stabilizer bar bushes. The factory ones are well known to be worn and perished.

    VR Transmission fault & flat spot! Urgent need help!

    Are there any error codes? You can try giving the TPS a clean, If still no luck with either and no fault codes have been lodged I would say start saving your pennies for a new Transmission.

    Wouldn't hurt but I don't think it would make much difference. Does it get used often?

    Any printer guys here?

    Have you tried different paper (New ream), Isopropyl Spray will be fine to use to clean the print head. Make sure there hasn't been any ink spillage on any of the rollers as well.

    Should I be concerned?

    The VE's have been known for weird battery issues due to being run the ECU apparently. If it does it again perhaps try another battery or Jumper pack on hand. A Jumper pack with enough charge in it will act like a fully charged battery so give that a shot.

    They are lots of fun to fiddle with. A few people have even done a Fusebox relocation just to help tidy up the engine bay a little bit.

    Well we all know red goes faster, Haven't you seen how quick all those red charades go? lol I'm fairly sure its more due to the fact I've been driving a Turbo Diesel all day, then to jump back into that and spool it up was just the best feeling lol :D

    Yeah it is pretty quick for its age and K's. The turbo's are designed to spool up around the mid to high range areas, when It does hit boost though it is a sweet feeling :D
