Hi guys, I have a VE Series 2 SV6 with a manual transmission. My battery went flat so i decided to roll start it. It wouldn't even roll start so got a jump start. The question is, why can't the car be roll started ?

My 2011 SV6 didn't loosen up 100% until it had 30,000 Km under its belt Motor now much smoother at high revs Absolute gem of an engine (6 speed manual trans) 98 octane fuel helps

SV6 guy, when i am in neutral at the traffic lights for example i can feel the engine moving around and the idle speed on tacho is just over 500 RPM (got me thinking idle speed has dropped and might be the prob) Alex 05 How do i locate MAF ? The engine is stock standard and have run it on 98...

I can second that SSVAGON They fitted a Bilstein Suspension kit and did a 4 wheel alignment as well a year ago. I asked a technical question as i booked it in about what specs they set them at and are right on to it. Just took RE050's off at 33,000 Km and tyre wear even They apparently do work...

Miss12TAME, i have a series 2 SV6 ute and was having problems some times crunching the gears. I decided to replace/bleed the clutch hydraulic system and when bleeding the clutch slave cylinder a lot of air bubbles came out (i:e , there was air in the system) After doing this the clutch now...

mate got mine done for $280 ,even that's a ripoff as it is only really a oil filter ,engine oil and safety check Worth it only for resale

what about tyre 'pull'? What brand of tyres are on ? How worn are they? We used to fix many cars pulling (left or right) by swapping tyres left to right or back to front I think it was called radial force variation that caused it in the tyre quality,not some minor difference in caster or camber...

A mate of mine has been waiting for 5-6 weeks for delivery on a new V8 thunder ute 6L Anyone else having the same delay ?

sounds like the door latching pin needs adjusting to make the door a 'tighter' fit when closed mention it to your mechanic

Thanks for the info One more question for you Does it maintain the stance of the standard ute with the rear being higher than the front ? You know a larger gap between the tyre to wheel arch on the rear compared to the front gap ?

I found out that you have to disconnect the passenger seat white 2 pin plug as well to stop the chime from coming on. What a relief from that annoying noise though ! ! !

How much do lower is it with the H & R springs BigJim ? I'm fitting the Bilsteins/H & R springs myself tomorrow.

Hi bzr, i am going for a Bilstein kit Front and rear mono tube gas struts and rear shocks and H & R springs (germany) I had a Golf GTi ages ago and fitted a Bilstein kit and it made a BIG difference to cornering ability and roadholding I am just hoping my SV6 ute has the same effect Its...

Could it just be the clutch not disengaging enough ? A good clutch fluid replace and bleed

I gotta VZ SVZ 2007 ute with STD 187KW and also a Series 2 Sidi SV6 ute both are 6 speed manuals. VZ engine has more torque at low( 2,000RPM) revs This probably makes it a better engine as a workhorse The VE2 is much more rev happy and keeps going until rev limiter (6,700 RPM i think) I much...
