Hi all, The color difference on the VE bumpers is not something new, although Holden Customer support apparently know nothing on any such problem.....yeah right!!!! Anyway, my local dealer has agreed to respray my bumbers to better match the colour of the car. My concern now is that given the...

I had a look over the weekend at my sales invoice. It says $495 for the reversing sensors. I assumed that was Factory. There is a long history with these sensors, see other threads. I know they fittted the cheapest they could because we screwed them on price, and got the window tint, floor mats...

Thanks for the info Guys. Yeah checked it out and it is the revering sensor display. Yeah I got Screwed, I asked for reversing sensors on the car, but didn't check if what they were going to fit was genuine. This is what I got. Thanks heaps though. I've put it back in place under the seat...

I was cleaning the car this afternoon (VE-SS manual) and found this under the passenger seat. Does anybody know what this is for. The wiring goes in under the left rear seat mount and then under the carpet. Given the double sided tape on it, it obviously fell down from under the seat...

Not sure if this helps but I just had my SS in for a rattle around the dash speaker surround. They explained that when driving it they removed the speaker cover to see if that was the rattle. That got me curious; anyway the speaker cover just pops out. If you grab it towards the front (by the...

Mate I put a set of powerflow on the back of my SS and they seemed to make a big improvement to the power (and Noise). I'd love to know what difference the extractors make. BTW the powerflows are now for sale, they wife reckons the car was too loud (NEVER :bang:)

ITEM: Rear Powerflow VE SS Mufflers LOCATION: Picton NSW CONDITION: Used (Purchased Saturday 17th May 08) PRICE: $695 or Best offer (what ever you see as fair) DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Would Prefer pickup PAYMENT OPTIONS: COD, Direct Deposit CONTACT DETAILS...

Yeah I agree, the crunch color is Damn aweful. My kids have given me dipers with the same suprise colour inside!!!

Thanks Guys You are all awesome. I mananged to get it to work again:thumbsup: Family peace has been returned......:whistling

Update; My local dealer is currenlty respraying another Atomic VE bumpers as the customer was unhappy with the finish. So far it has taken them 3 weeks to get it right. When they do they will repaint mine :yeah: I've also heard tonight that Holden are not continuing with the Atomic Colour...

I've tried this as well and managed to change it to the 24 hour time. Now my wife is complaining and wants it turned back and for some reason I cannot get back into the damn menu.Q? Should the stero be off when you turn the ignition on, this way when you press the power button on the stereo...

Did they tell you what they did to fix it??

I've posted some of the issues with our VE SS in other treads but thought I might bring them all together here. I'll highlight the issue and then the resolution that fixed the problem. Hopefully it will help others to get the same problems fixed when they having a good understanding of what...

I had the steering column replaced last Wednesday and it certinally fixed the clunking sound that I had...............however it didn't fix that loosed feeling that has been highlighted here. That still feels like it comes from the steering wheel. Anyway I think i can live with that for the...

No tow bar fitted. I'm going to ring the sales manager on Tueday and complain about the aftermarket parts and try and get genuine Holden sensors fitted, even if they have to replace the rear bar. If they did it right first time I wouldn't have this problem.

This is exactly the problem I have. I knew I could feel it and thought it was from the steering wheel. The service guys stripped down the steering one day to establish the problem. It's in the shaft and they say they can fix it. Mine goes back in on Wednesday to have it done. I'll keep you...

Is that against another vehicle or again a solid object like a wall? Mine seem to work well against a wall but next to a vehicle i reckon id hit it before they screamed :bang:

Help!! When we purchased our new VE we requested to have Reversing sensors installed. After awhile I was NOT feeling confident that the sensors were actually working correctly so I tested them against another car. As i suspected they were only starting to work, sometimes, at a distance of...

Yes the windows were tinted by the dealer before we got it.

A question for anybody else that owns a VE painted in Atmoic (Green)......Kermit Green! Our rear bumper almost looks a different colour, in particular light the variation in the colour can be very dramatic. Does anybody else with this same paint colour notice the same thing?? It only seems to...

I really like the clean look, thats why I debadged our VY. I think i will debadge it. I like the idea of the lumpy cam etc, LOL

Ok, It's been a question plaguing me since I decided to buy our New VE SS Sedan. Yes thats an SS not SS-V, Why didn't we get the SS-V, well thats a completely new thread. Anyway I was wondering what other peoples opinions are on debadging the car. My concern is that aside from the SS...

My baby, VY Executive, lowered, 18" AMG Rims & Body. Personally signed by Steven Richards of Jack Daniels Racing. All the rest is standard. Mods; Debadged and thats all. My most recent was wiring up the Phone socket with a switch so i could plug the Kids DVD player in and have the sound...

I'd get a secondhand one from a wrecker and mess with that. Atleast if it doesn't work you can always put the original back in. Besides you could mod the wrecker one and make your VP unique. :)

Just thought I'd post the question. What are the advantages, disadvantages of untaking the scheduled services yourself, (assuming you have a reasonable aptitude with engines) rather than sending your Commodore into Holden? I mean do they ever really plug the things into computers and diagnose...

Yeah I know their all the same, I quess I just expected better from Holden. Oh well Live and learn. As a side note my wife just rang to say the Car has a flat battery, the auto lights havent switched off last time she drove it. :b:

THe car was tricked when I brought it, so it had all the gear fitted by holden when they got the car.

I'm just posting this thread out of shear frustration. The other day I visited my lovely local Holden dealer seeking to trade my 2003 VY in on a 2005 VZ. My VY is a lowered Exec, with 18" Alloys & bodykit. (pictures are posted on this site) It really is a VERY tidy version with only 40K on the...

My Vy is lowered as well. It has the FE2 equivalent in it. It was NOT fitted by the factory though. Holden have told me that those fitted with the FE2 will develop rattles as the tougher suspension causes the body to flex more. OK but why only on the drivers side window??? It's 30,000 K service...

My Commodore Here she is, Freshly bathed and cleaned. Almost a Standard VY, just got a body kit, (No Boot Spoiler!) lowered suspension and 18" alloys. I just love her to bits.

I thought that I'd up date you all on the current happenings with the rattling. The silicon Spray needed to be applied every week, and again it didn't always resolve the problem completely. SO, I adjusted the window again so it stopped just short of the Factory setting location. Problem Fixed...

Well I had another good look over the door yesterday and after giving it all a good clean I sprayed all the rubbers and Flets with Silicone spray again. So far not a single sound has come out of the door. I guess it will eventually as the spary wears off, however if I can prevent it occuring all...

Hey Camz, I'm going to work on my car now and have another attempt at fixing it. If i find anything that works I'll let you now. I really find this a shame as I just love my Commodores and to have such an annoying problem is frustrating.

Yeah mine is the same. The passenger door doesn't make a sound. I've tried the silicon spray on all the rubbers and glass. I even got to the point where i took the door trim off. This stopped it, however it's not very appealing to drive around without the trim on. I'm in the same boat with...

HELP!!!! I'm at my wits end. My VY has developed a rattle/squeak in the drivers window. This iccurs when the window is right up. If you drop the window slightly it stops. I took it to Holden today and they showed me the windows stop adjustment and adjusted it slightly to stop it from hitting...
