    Strange Noise - Vents?

    I have a VE Series II and almost every 2 to 3 days i hear this very loud "pop" noise from somewhere behind or near the glovebox and can hear something happening in the vents immediately after. I am pretty sure it happens only when the Air Conditioning is on. Any ideas?

    Series 2 SV6 idle

    If i'm sitting at lights waiting sometimes my S2 has a miss and shakes, sorts itself out pretty quick and does not display any faults.

    What kind of tires you guys running on your VE's?

    Those with the stock RE050A's, are you noticing alot of tramlining, in particular after 10,000 to 15,000kms ?

    Seat Problem

    Does anyone know how to pull the back off a Series 2 SV6 seat? I have something knocking in the back when you move and would like to track down the fault.

    What kind of tires you guys running on your VE's?

    How have you found the noise levels on these, in particular rough bitumen? I tried them and they howled like crazy on the rough stuff, perfectly quiet on smooth roads though.

    Brake Pads for VE

    I have some new rotors to install on the SV6 and wondering if i should use a new kit of original pads or fit some Bendix CT's all the way around instead? Cheers.

    Tyre noise?

    Sorry to revive this old thread, i found it pop up on a search. I have the new Goodyear Asymmetric 2's on my VE and i have the same issue as you describe. On smooth roads they are so quiet you'd think your floating on air but when the earth gets more coarse all hell breaks loose. It can be...

    Creaking noise coming from dash?

    It's normal. The dash is made up of so many cheap plastic parts that are all held together by cheap shitty plastic clips. You could pull it apart and fit anti-rattle tape but then you will probably create more rattles and squeaks and break some trim whilst your at it. My advice, learn to live...

    Replacing Speakers

    Brad, Your question has been done to death here, try a search next time. But the answer to your question is that yes, you can replace the stock speakers with after market ones, the key is to buy car speakers with a high sensitivity rating as the stock decks aren't that powerful and...

    Adelaide VE Owners Please read this.

    I'm interested as long as it doesn't have the typical "my dick is bigger than yours" wankers there.

    VE Series 2 "Z" Series Audio.

    Fitting Dynamat on both inner and outer door skins is absolutley critical for decent mid-bass up front. I wouldn't even consider putting splits in without it.

    VE Series 2 "Z" Series Audio.

    The sound in a VE Commodore is the worst i have experienced in a new car over at least 10 years. To build a car with such poor quality sound in this stone age is deplorable. Yes, those engineers responsible should be sacked immediatley and re-employed by Wendy's selling ice-creams as that's all...

    I bought genuine ones from Holden, a ripoff $35.00 each.

    2008 60th Ann Commodore Dead on Corners

    The ECU may be receiving strange signals from the yaw sensor and shutting things down. I'd be surprised if it's a fuel delivery problem.

    3L SIDI Petrol vs 3.6L Factory Dual Fuel

    The 3L SIDI in the 2011 Omega isn't going to put a smile on your dial anytime soon. Too little cubes for too big of a car in my opinion. Go for the bigger donk or open your wallet up some more and find a SIDI SV6.

    I had a WRX, even modified it. They aren't fast at all.

    VE Commodore whinning at 50kmh

    My previous Series 1 also made the same noise between 50 to 60km/hr and with a slight load on the car. I had Holden look at it to which they had no clue (not that i'm surprised there) however i also had the problem with a Ford many years ago. Turned out to be a planetary gear set in the...

    As soon as your start f**king with your car the problems never end, i doubt you will ever be satisfied.

    Time for some new tyres

    The Dunlop's get a lot of mixed reviews, that's why i avoided them.

    Time for some new tyres

    Well i ended up with a flat tyre today so had no choice but to buy some new tyres, turns out the old ones only had about 1mm tread left so fkd regardless. Over days upon days of research i ended up scoring a new set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 shoes and so far i'm impressed. More to...

    Time for some new tyres

    Tell me about it. I think the wankers were trying to have a lend of me. That said i sent off a few emails to get some pricing on some Continental ContiSport Contact 5's. Seem like a good tyre but it's obvious to me most tyre shops are putting their profits before suggesting genuine tyre...

    Time for some new tyres

    The high quote on the PS3's was from Bob Jane T-Mart. I am surprised no-one has mentioned Goodyear. I am going to start looking at two from their range, the Eagle F1 Directional 5 and the Eagle F1 Assymetrical. Not sure what pricing they go for but it seems Goodyear seems to have the most...

    Time for some new tyres

    Hmm, i have received offers for Falken ZE912, Kuhmo KU31 and Michelin PS3's. I found very mixed views on the ZE912's, a lot of complaints on the Kuhmo KU31's from tread levels 50% and less and the PS3's were quoted at just over $400.00 each! Fkn ripoff. So, i still keep searching, and...

    Time for some new tyres

    I am sorry but are you just trying to take the piss? Those tyres look like they have done just 5000kms, not 29000kms.

    upgrading speakers

    If your not running an amp choose some 4ohm units with a high efficiency rating. Stock headunits put out around 7 Watts RMS per channel, piddly stuff.

    Time for some new tyres

    Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't do burnouts and i don't chuck it around the place. The RE050's are just a very soft tyre with a suspension setup that's hard on them. A friend of mine when through them in 15,000kms allthough that's more a **** wheel alignment from factory. I mean, can the...

    Time for some new tyres

    I must say i haven't looked at Michelin Tyres before. Doing a quick check i noticed they recommend Pilot Sport 3, Pilot Super Sport and Primacy HP. Some of the reviews i looked at seem to indicate that the Pilot Sport 3 are noisy around the 80-100kms/hr mark. Have you noticed this? Is there...

    Price range - up to $1500.00 for all 4. It's for my SV6 sedan.

    Time for some new tyres

    I had them on another car and found them quite noisy, in particular under braking.

    Time for some new tyres

    I got 28,000kms out of them and there is about 1mm or so left.

    Time for some new tyres

    Before i start, yes, there are several threads here about "which tyres to buy". Trouble is some are very old and tyres come and go. So, i am looking to put some new shoes on my car to replace the stock Bridgestone RE050A in the 245/45/18 size. Apart from Falkan FK452 to which i don't want...

    Your VE- What problems have you had

    Had a heater core go bung in my 18mth old car. Since it's repair (a major repair) a string of other problems have been apparant that weren't there previously. Going back for the 5th time now. No more fkn piece of **** Holdens for me - ever!
