this sounds a bit strange but in my opinion holden probably topped up your coolant and when its warmed up some come out the overflow maybe?? I dont think they would wreck it, driving through water isnt the best for your engine when its hot either, just check the coolant levels and go from there..

Yes there are a few good things in there... Let me know how you get on with them.. I like the volts, batt charge, throttle pos, instant fuel, and coolant temp best. Does yours show trans temp mine is stuck on -40deg... (pretty sure its not a frozen trans) hmmm that sounds closer to "seized"...

Ok just going out on my own on this one.... i dont really try to do burnouts/skids on road with my VE so not sure i have really experienced this "axle hop" Although off road can get it to get upset and I have always believed it to Be the ESP or traction, Turning ESP/Traction Cont off...

Hi all, At the time of looking into the SS or SSV as a potential buy i read all the reviews done on them as it was near the time of release of the VE. I even observed this site numerous times to see what the early feedback was. (Great site great forum) In my opinion the SS is as Wheels...

Gday Stocky, Mine doesnt have the oil temp either being earlier model I believe from the above convo... I would just go with what others are experiencing from relatively new engines, start up oil pressure being the most important as how worn the engine is... on how quick oil pressure is...

**** sorry guyz Ricey's is much simpler didnt see it up must have taken me a while to type up good work

X Man, First of all I hope you get the body work sorted out and have no further collisions to wreck your pride and joy or worse! "Alignment specialists" are hard to find - if they dont have a specs sheet for your vehicle they definitely aren't "experts"!! I have actually found taking...

In regard to "Engineering Mode" I believe elsewhere on this forum i read not long ago how to display these "other figures." My MY08 SSV is a matter of having the car igniton off, then holding down the scroll wheel button (enter - not the trip button) turning on ignition and there you have...

Hi, SSV 6.0l V8, 6sp Man, Sedan. Highway at 110kmh usually between 9.5 and 10.2l/100km which equates to around 750km out of tank. City basically depends on ur driving style anywhere from 14l/100 to 20l/100. (I dont think i would have filled up under 450/500km to tank) Generally use...

Hey mate, so whats the latest with these gearbox/clutch issues?? I do not come on these forums that often and presume you have been on the ls1/ls2 sites? Surely they couldnt get a brand new box and clutch to come out like that from new ??(do you think these problems come from incorrect...

mate this is no good, i have 65k on the clock and no clutch or serious g/box issues yet except 2nd a bit tight no rattles as you explained... hope holden get their act together and fix it

Yea that does seem pretty steep, my salesman actually told me the update would be free (and i thought yeah right!) actually unsure if the gps system was worth installing it doesnt tell you your speed, or warn for red light cameras like portable ones do - although it is handy still.. The update...

Hey wow, thats surprising, Holden claimed the power would still be the same with only a few milliseconds delay in firing up all 8.. I haven't driven one yet, have you found out any more, done any long trips to really compare fuel economy etc.. Be interested to see if they are at all...

I just bought a set of Bridestone Potenzas 19" for my SSV, the guys did a good deal i think, $380 a tyre balanced and fitted, the last Bridegstone's did a great job in all conditions with a fair amount of aggressive driving... got 40kms comfortably, this time with consistent wheel alignment and...

What do they call the 6 litre engine in the US? Is it supposed to be a metric or imperial engine or are no engines either... The car and the number plate look good too Panthergreen

Service the car yourself and tell as many people as you can not to trust that dealership

mine will go down slightly from full between services although never needed to add any as yet, have also noticed very slight leak around sump gasket which will keep an eye on..

my car is the manual, the best i've got is around 9.5l/100km, in between melb and adelaide using cruise at about 110/115.. using straight unleaded too.. using premium it dipped around 8.5 but have not tested enough using the premiums for long enough etc.. this car is just magnificent for...

had this happen hey you guys ive had the battery saver mode happen twice in one week too. thought i maybe had a problem but it went away after some long trips to charge it back up.. took a lot more notice of the voltmeter too seeing it could go up to 15v which i did think was a bit high and...

Ok so i got another "alignment" done yesterday... Got ripped off again, this time got the before and after readout of the angles, but inspection tells me they have not adjusted if at all... The angles of camber were apparently right in between specs, only toe in was adjusted according to...

Had my car for 18 months with battery flat once after presumably leaving acessories on for some time... On weekend was at footy in rain so car was off with wipers and radio on for some time.. Came back to car (other ppl had been in it) and started it with "Battery saver mode on" on trip...

i just got a wheel alignment where rears were out by a long way.. bring it home and the inside looks like its been attacked by a wire brush! taking it to another place today.. camber needs to be more positive obviously.. anyone know the specs for ve's?

yeah i was desperate after it started raining properly for the 1st time in 10years so bought drivers side one for $35 from autopro... that was after arguing with the salesman that a standard set of wipers for all cars wouldnt fit..

Hey guys, I have a mate with a VZ SS, for something cheap, he just cut out the muffler and welded back on straight through pipe.. May not be suitable for everyone but the tone is better.. and would not be considered too loud at all.. :) $$$$$$$$ saving but like I said maybe not for...

good info here.. my blades are about stuffed too.. was thinking of ways to adapt some cheap replaceables but $40 sounds good enough

hi everyone, further to this subject of tyre wear, my ss-v (19") tyres have now done 30,000kms, and are scrubbed out on all inners... The rest of the tyre isn't too bad and I have rotated not long ago. If tyres were kept aligned should may have got up to 60k, altho now the best ill get is about...
