    Water noise behind dash.

    Behind your dash is your heater core that your coolant flows into and gives you warm air for those cold days. But as the other blokes have said, it might be a broken rad cap and not sealing properly and letting air into your system.

    VY SV8 - A Few Problems

    It's near the starter motor. It's held in place by a 10mm bolt. Unplug the sensor wire, undo the bolt and slide the long sensor out. The starter motor is under the header on the driver side against the gearbox.

    [Advice needed] VY Power steering

    As Vince said, do it yourself. It's all basic tools you'll have already no doubt. It shouldn't be any more than a spanner or a flathead screwdriver. I hate to plug this but... SCA offer a service called Afterpay. If you are struggling a bit at the moment (not saying you might be), this is an...

    AFR Gauge install

    Here is an upload of the 2 ECU connectors and their pinouts. The closest thing I can find of the H02 sensors and that is only heating the sensor itself, nothing at all mentioned about the O2 sensor signal wire.

    Hi I have VY V8 and I want to hook up an AFR Gauge. Everything is powered up and grounded and I need to know specifically which wire at the ECU to splice the signal wire from the Gauge in to, and the Red or Blue harness. I've done countless searches for this and instead I find a ton for...

    Watch out for the top and bottom heater hoses too, they have a tendency to split on OEM and leak.

    Basically I listed what we have done. We unplugged the 2 plus to remove the upper inlet manifold to change the spark plugs but didn't end up doing it. Apart from that I have no idea at, you're confused and want more info but that is everything we did to it. It's at the mechanics now, awaiting...

    Mate IS a mechanic, that is why I let him touch it. No one that isn't qualified is touching my car. I don't have a clue WTF is wrong with it, never heard a car sound like this. It sounds likes like a squeal in the engine when I get it to start. Air flow was unplugged but plugged back in. Now...
