Mine has been intermittently on/off over the past few days... All signs point to the Oil Pressure Switch but that was only replaced early this year >.>

Bumping this again, obviously I am not the only one interested :)

Someone is doing it way wrong... My Acclaim (exec spec basically) last dyno had it running at 139 and that was just with a VCM tune and catback... Since then I've done far more to it so if anything it should be sitting slightly above that now.

Y u post wrong place? /movethread

Awesome writeup... I have done the dash side of things, the BCM part will be sorted once I get time to go to Jaycar!

Personally, I think it looks awesome.

Just for fun, try re-seating the ECU fuse and see what happens.

If the seats haven't gone yet, please price me on those :) Either way though if the steering wheel is leather (I forget on VY Berlinas) I'll take a price on that too.

Get someone with an OBDII Scanner to check it out, probably just a sensor or connection somewhere that is faulty. VZs throw up all sorts of errors when they have problems, 'Check Powertrain' and 'Service Vehicle Soon' are just the two most common.

Both of you have the right ideas, but it is not what the OP is/was experiencing. Their doors are locking when closed regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or just sitting on the seat, and since these aren't exactly BMWs that we drive they can't sense that the keys are in the car and...

Ahh cool, so not really a problem at all then. Yeah if you think he will ship to Perth that would be great if you could pass along his details via PM or whatever :)

I read that too, can't remember where but yes fairly sure the procedure is the same for VZ.

Car looks great mate, as for CAI I don't have much experience with Ecotec engines but on my Alloytec the 2-Hole Mod made an improvement :) Question on your diff, did you end up going through diffs2u? I've been looking at the 3.45 LSD they have on eBay but the whole 'no spigot' thing confuses...

Sorry mate, you are thinking of the wrong thing there. The OP is saying that their car is locking when the door closes, the only two options you get in the settings are for it to lock in 'Drive' and then unlock on 'Park' or not lock at all unless you press the button.

For starters, never leave your keys in the ignition unless you are in the car! But otherwise, potentially there is an issue with your BCM. Others with more experience on BCM issues might be able to shed some more light than I can however I suggest checking the charge level of your battery first...

Assuming this is it: VT-VZ Commodore diff gears LS1 3.46 M80 good condition | eBay

Unless you are confusing the terminology, a Tech2 should not have been required. An $80 OBDII Diagnostic Tool would be able to tell you that it was the Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch causing the problem (I can confirm this from personal experience), and if you were charged $180 for the entire job...

No worries. Mine was done at Pro Race Products Wangara, results here: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-vz-wk-wl-v2/123624-my-06-acclaim.html#post1673289

I notice you are SOR, and I hear Pro Auto: Your Car Service Specialists are very good so try contacting them and see what they will charge for a VCM tune (yes this is what is required for the Alloytec V6). I had mine done for around the 800-850 mark at a place in Wangara, certainly goes harder...

Yes it will, however you may need to file down the 'backplate' (I have no idea what to call it) of it as I believe they are thicker than the VZ type.

This made my day! Lol

Let's say you are sitting in your car outside a friend's place waiting for them to get home, at night?

Firstly, were the spark plugs replaced at 120,000 as they were supposed to be? There are many possibilities as to what could be the problem especially after not having it serviced for quite a long time :O

This is totally an awesome idea, I just checked and my WL Cluster has it too - definitely doing it next month when I get holidays!

Didn't the 190kw engines always have 4?

The options can become 'restricted' if you remove the default head-unit, however if you get Holden to do a software update on your cluster they will return.

Hmmm that is a weird one, I suggest getting hold of someone with a diagnostic tool to have a look and see what they can find...

Hahaha lol. No worries :) Funny enough it was right near my PC anyway, never bothered to put it in the shed >.> From memory, they are different to the main Power Window module at least. I haven't actually seen the globes in the rear switches myself.

Phreddy has done them, if you contact him he may be able to sort something for you.

Does it say 'Service Vehicle Soon' or 'xxx,xxxkm Service Due' ?
