    VF 3.6 high pressure A/C line leaking. A few questions.

    Fair point. I think I'm just thinking too far into this. Not having A/C is driving me to insanity at the moment. I'll just go find another shop and go from there.

    VF 3.6 high pressure A/C line leaking. A few questions.

    I agree. I wouldn't want to have a part ordered that isn't needed. I'll likely need another inspection before ordering a part. In terms of the A/C system though, are there different sections of hose where one area is 'normal' and the other 'high pressure'? I'm thinking about how they told me...

    VF 3.6 high pressure A/C line leaking. A few questions.

    At a recent service the holden service dept found that and I quote 'High pressure A/C line leaking' My invoice mentions this needs replacing for $600 total but gave no part number. I'm trying to organize this to be completed at another holden service dept as the current one is booked out for...

    VF Calais V6 Purge Valve replacement cost?

    My problem is that I'm not confident messing with the car myself and have nobody in my life to help me do it either. I'm having a hard time understanding why they would quote so much. $547 for something that now seems to be $100 if you're mechanically minded. I don't know what to do about this.

    VF Calais V6 Purge Valve replacement cost?

    Howdy all, I have a 2014 VF Calais V V6 and at a recent regular dealer service I was told that the Purge Valve needs replacing and was quoted $547.00 The diagnostic showed up P0170 'relating to Fuel System'. I was told it's common and not really an issue unless your fuel economy gets worse...

    Is it possible to supercharge a VF 3.6 with nothing but a VCM and tune?

    My car is a 2014 VF Calais V 3.6 with 115k on it and all I have done to it is a VCM intake and custom tune. If I wanted to have it supercharged would I by default need to have ALL other basics mods done first? Like exhaust and cam/head package? Forgive my lack of knowledge but yeah just...

    VF 3.6 performance headers without standard exhaust possible?

    Would having performance headers on a stock VF 3.6 give any noticeable difference in power and is it even possible?

    Can I put twin (SS like) tips on my VF 3.6 myself? if so how.

    VF Calais V and I would like to have the rear end looking like the 6.0 ones with the twin tips either side instead of the single pipes it currently has. Just wondering how I go about kicking this off as I don't want to change the sound just the appearance.

    Howdy. I have a few noob questions about my new VF Calais V.

    It's a 3.6 one with 98000k's. Just wondering first off is it safe to get a VCM intake and custom dyno tune placed on this engine and not have to do any other modifications to pair with it? Also if I did this, and it was the only performance modification, would I have to inform my insurance...

    Guidance on what my car may be worth when selling.

    My car is a 2001 VX II S 4sp in red. Interior and exterior is stock, it looks stock. 149k on the clock. Exhaust, MACE intake, MACE 10psi upgrade. I was thinking 5k? But then I see what's currently for sale online and with my cars K's, stock appearance and motor I was thinking maybe like 6.5k...

    VX front left wheel metallic sound over 35kph?

    It starts at about 35kph and I can hear it all the way up until about 85kph when the road/wind noise overpowers it, although I don't know if it still does it past that.. The faster I go the faster the metallic rattle is, it's actually more of a rotational clicking sound of sorts. I had my front...

    Is my VX L67 safe in this setup?

    Car is a 02 VX II L67, I've had a twin 2.5" mild steel exhaust on it (brand is super cat) for the last 2yrs with no issues, then I added the Mace CAI, again no issues and a nice induction growl and smoother drive. I'm looking at the Mace 9psi boost kit next, I've read plenty of times that...

    VX V6 - Coolant drain only giving 2.5L fluid.. what gives?

    Ok update time. I ended up removing the old radiator and popping the new one in, all fits snuggly and all connections work as should. I then put in 3.4L (somehow?!) of green coolant concentrate and started it up. No issues and it idled for 5 minutes and I took it for a 6km drive and nothing bad...

    VX V6 - Coolant drain only giving 2.5L fluid.. what gives?

    Hi guys I have a VX V6 Supercharged Commodore and I recently found a little crack in the radiator and ordered a new one and just need to whack her in. Now I've drained the bottom hose (with the top radiator cap off first) and after measuring I have a maximum of 2.5L of fluid in the tray...

    VX II L67 rough takeoff when reversing out of driveway..?

    I have no idea what that means. Is that difficult to do, like tearing the engine apart difficult?

    VX II L67 rough takeoff when reversing out of driveway..?

    Hi all, I have a 02 VX II L67 4spd If I drive out of my driveway bonnet first it feels just fine (even cold) and goes through the gears all well and without any struggles. But if I reverse onto the street in R and then straighten up and pop it in D it tends to rev 1st gear to about 2.8-3.2k and...

    In my VX's current state, would a 10psi upgrade be safe?

    I haven't looked into your post history so don't know anything about your VX but is the 3.2" 12psi? if so what other mods do you have (if any) to support that? or do you find 12psi safe so use on it without other supporting mods? And yeah I am aware that I somewhat contradicted myself in my post...

    In my VX's current state, would a 10psi upgrade be safe?

    Firstly I apologize for asking what is probably a repeated question but the entire forum for me on my current desktop isn't letting me view posted threads when I click on them which is a problem I am trying to fix but until I fix it I wanted to at least try and see if I could get some info on...

    Can someone please help me change my VX V6 radiator coolant!

    I have a 2002 VX II L67 4Sp, I can generally do all other basic areas of servicing like engine oil, transmission oil, all filters, plugs & leads. But this one has me stumped so far. I know I need to firstly unplug the bottom hose and let it all out, and then the top hose, and then blast a...

    Where to find a standard VX II S L67 exhaust?

    2001 series 2 l67 s pack. Auto. I was smart (cough) and threw the standard exhaust out about 2yrs ago when I bought and installed a new exhaust. Getting sick of the drone and want to go quiet again. Would a reputable exhaust shop be able to source a new standard system or make one? I DO NOT...

    VX L67 revs bouncing when foot is taken off..?

    I vaguely remember it used to do this before I got the exhaust, so yeah I am only hearing it now due to the exhaust. Would it sound stupid from the outside? as though I am rolling by just revving like some idiot? I can definitely hear it inside the cabin and I think maybe installing good...

    VX L67 revs bouncing when foot is taken off..?

    Hi all. I have a VX series II S that is Supercharged and 4 speed auto (think they all are yeah?) The car is completely stock apart from a twin 2.5" catback with a V8 rear resonator that has twin tips. Now I have only noticed this problem ever since installing the exhaust on the car, because...

    VX L67 wont stay in 4th at 80kmh? Mechanic says it's normal.. how to fix this?

    I've got a 2002 VX L67 and when driving around at any other speed it is fine, BUT when trying to sit on 80km/h the car goes from 1600-1700rpm to 2000-2100rpm and jumps down to 3rd gear. A auto trans specialist looked at it, called Holden, ran his computer diagnostics and called me back...
