    fans coming on after coolant change

    Thank you Benboy and Jas. I bought a bottle of the red nulon coolant concentrate and mixed it 50/50. The bloody thing took 6 litres. Made sure I filled with a cut up bottle and the cap off to avoid air bubbles. The coolant in the chanel was swirling at the end no bubbling. Checked the hoses...

    fans coming on after coolant change

    Had my mechanic change the coolant in my VE SV6 MY9.5 for $250 The old coolant was removed using that special compressor machine so there weren't any air locks and the new coolant was pumped in. Don't have the time to do it myself. Lately the thermo fans have been kicking in after even...

    Clicking sound inside interior front Console on start up

    You're welcome, really glad it's working for you. Releasing the demister button and turning off the car half way through the vents aligning will cause them to stop aligning, if you time it just right the vents will align to the centre position and push out hot air again. The actuator that...

    VE Auto trans service

    I've got a VE MY 9.5 SV6 5 speed auto. Unfortunately holden thought it would be better without a dipstick or any other pipe leading down from the engine bay. I believe its located somewhere on the sump.

    VE SV6 9.5 unstable when driving 90km/h +

    The brake discs have been machined (will be replaced), the brake pads replaced. The wheels have been balanced and aligned and the tires replaced. I also had the car looked at by Pedders - suspension is fine. The issue continues. At low speed, 40-50kph the car bounces - as if the suspension is...

    Contact Dealer Warning/Error Codes VE SV6 09 Auto

    Nothing to do with the timing chain - turned out to be a faulty fuel pump, again. After a very long drawn out repair period and having the car seen many many times by different people my bad luck turned into good luck. The car wouldn't start one morning, RACV came out and diagnosed it as...

    Contact Dealer Warning/Error Codes VE SV6 09 Auto

    Thanks for the advice Nfsve. I took apart the entire intake box - The MAF was cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and the oil wipe clean and left to dry. I replaced the K&N with the stock air filter. It didn't fix the issue so the O2 sensors were replaced. I'll get the car towed...

    Contact Dealer Warning/Error Codes VE SV6 09 Auto

    Thanks Farmer - just to check How can a timing chain issue be diagnosed? Is it by error code? Wasn't the timing chain issue resolved in the late 07 models and a new chain released for 08+? The car will not start at all - would this not be more of an electrical/fuel system issue rather...

    This was done, nothing else was coming up in terms of errors - they did generate a log for it that showed a whole lot issues with the fuel deliver e.g. -29% and then +11% I'll see if they can send me a copy of this. Do you often run it on low fuel try filling tank up then get mechanic...

    I purchased an actuator from holden. When you did the change did you have to remove anything other than the dash trim under the steering wheel in order to replace the actuator?

    The price sounds about right. I had the repair done by Knight Auto Electrics in Mulgrave. They initially sent the car to a holden dealer to confirm it was the sender as they had never seen this before. I had the car seen by other mechanics/elecs who could not repair it They did it fairly...

    Clicking sound inside interior front Console on start up

    Thank you Ricey, thought as much. When you say the drivers side actuator do you mean inside the vent on the right of the steering wheel between the door or the right centre vent? I'm asking because I am not sure whether this is something I should attempt to fix myself (pull apart dash - god...

    Can these actuators prevent the heater working? At this moment my HVAC will not produce any hot air. I used to hear very loud clicking noises near the centre speaker, tried re-aligning the vents by doing that rear-demister trick, it partially worked. The noise is gone but so is the heat? Now...

    Thanks heaps for the reply. Really appreciate it. Yeah took quite a while for them to try find the fault, in the end after testing every single wire and electrical component the sparky decided to change the fuel pump/sender unit. That fixed it. Apparently its a common issue?

    Sit in the car with the doors closed, turn the ignition (onto accessories) without starting the car. As soon as you turn the ignition hold/push in the rear demister button (square one) for 5-10 seconds. Ignore any noises that you hear. Let the button go, turn off the car, wait 2-3 seconds and...

    URGENT! Mother's California Gold won't come off??!?!?!?

    So if anyone comes across this problem dont freak out like I did. 1. Dont use mothers california gold unless you're a pro at waxing. 2. If you do get the same problem try to keep rubbing out the mess gently. 3. Failing that, easiest thing to do is to have a different brand of wax (preferably...
