    Horn help please

    I've had the same problem and as you know it's a very embarrassing experience. Check the horn fuse, see if its blown. If its blown I'd start by replacing the actual horn under the front bar since it's the easiest and most inexpensive part to replace. My issue was a faulty horn, all I did...

    Strange VT starting problems. NEED HELP!

    Cranking normally just taking an unusually long time to fire up. As it comes to it firing up, it becomes a bit lumpy as in not a smooth fire. But then when shes up and running, idle is fine and driving is fine! Lout, i have tried that and still nothing!

    Strange VT starting problems. NEED HELP!

    I've recently replaced my fuel filter, fuel pump and starter motor so they are to be ruled out. My spark plugs seem to be fine and ive also had my coil pack tested also seems to be fine. Basically what happens is when i kick it over it takes a while to start up sometimes 4-5 secs and when its...

    Another problem has come up pretty much the same time this happened and i forgot to mention it... I Had the fuel pump replaced literally a week ago caz it was fried and the fuel injectors cleaned... As soon as i had that done everything ran well on petrol as well as LPG. Now that i have this...

    BCM/Key Receiver problem. Need Help! VT series I

    ...And to add to the problem, i forgot to mention no more than 2 weeks ago there was a strange buzzing sound coming from somewhere around my steering wheel so now i suspect the BCM has had its time. The battery was only off for a few mins. Going a while back now, maybe several months i use to...

    BCM/Key Receiver problem. Need Help! VT series I

    Hey all. The other day i went to unlock my car with keyless entry and it seemed to not work. I didn't think anything of it because it's done this several times before as it is temperamental but then randomly works again. Anyway now both keys don't work so it can't be a flat battery. My...

    VT kicking over but won't start - Possible fuel problem

    Well it's always had a minimal amount of fuel in it, i mean like 10 litres or so. I put another 10 litres in but still nothing. Admittedly, i have neglected the fuel system given that i hardly use fuel, only LPG but the fuel pump is not even that old maybe 2 years, injectors have been replaced...

    VT kicking over but won't start - Possible fuel problem

    So the other night i was driving home when my car decided to stall on me at about 60km. Now it kicks over but does not want to fire up. It's duel fuel and i rarely run it on petrol maybe once a month to keep the injectors wet (It doesn't start on LPG either). The starter motor was replaced...

    VT ring gear problem??

    Over the last couple of days I've had a whining noise coming from the engine every time i start her up. Conveniently she decides to not kick over at all being stuck in my drive way. Now it's just a loud crunching, whining noise coming from the right hand (passenger) side of the engine and I'm...

    LPG VX backfiring

    My VT is on lpg too ive had this problem countless amounts of times. Check that your leads are intact and you've gapped the plugs accordingly. Sometimes it may vary depending on the amount of k's you've done. For instance I was told to gap mine at around 1.2mm but it kept backfiring at the...

    Tensioner pulley replacement?

    So my belt is squeaking like a spastic. I've been told by a mechanic that my tensioner pulley needs replacing since it's making noise and I'd suppose starting to become loose. By memory he told me to get a tensioner bracket. Just wanted to know if that's correct?

    It's about that time (maybe) Changing parts on ecotec

    Hi all. So I've hit 250,000 on my VT and since it is still running fine i was thinking is it worth changing some bits and pieces that may make it run a little better. For example the oxygen sensors, I know for a fact that these have never been replaced but obviously still fully functional I...

    Camber & Toe Kit Install and Wheel Alignment

    I've been thinking of getting this done on my VT too since the IRS when lowered gives camber wear on the tread. A lot of tyre/suspension joints have told me it's pointless since it doesn't last that long. Can anyone clarify this for me if it's true or not?

    VT crank sensor changed 3 times, still stalling

    +1 on the fuel pump issue. Had the same problem. Got a scan done at the auto elecs and it was throwing all types of errors that weren't even related. The first thing he said was to change the fuel pump. Got rid of the problem ever since.

    My vx commodore , These wheels or senators

    Wheels you have on now look clean and respectable. The Sigs just don't suite it and personally I've never liked sigs they have to go with a certain shape. Or even a clean set of VT internationals, can never go wrong

    Is this a good deal? Two agood amps for cheap!

    I've got JBL's in the back and they've never let me down. Sound unreal and so clear. And Soundstream splits in the front (Rubicon I believe) set me back about $500 a couple years ago. So the speakers are obviously not Focals but they do sound good hooked up to an amp and I'm sure a better...

    VT white thick smoke and water from exhaust

    Yeah mate it's a joke, such a headache after all the messing about and it was as simple as a dead injector... I've actually sent that guy a message on ebay, do you know where he is located in Vic? I would prefer pick up if possible. So you're saying get the plastic ones for my car (VT V6)?
