    VZ Calais Rear Shock Absorbers

    Appreciate it guys. So would I be able to just install ordinary shocks to suit a VZ? Is it a simple disconnect and tuck the line out of the way? I don't do any towing or any of the sort, just a commuter car. EDIT: I've done a bit of reading and have read that I will need new springs as well if...

    vr door lock

    If you haven't fixed it yet try spraying a heap of WD40 or other penetrating fluid in and around the door lock. Might free it up enough for you to unlock it. Can't you unlock from the inside?

    Getting a bolt off the shock, yeah fun!

    Hey mate, if you haven't had any luck and have a local Pedders or suspension shop near you, pop in there and ask them if they'll help you out. My local shop has helped me out a couple of times, they may charge you $10 or so.

    20-50L / 100ks ?!?! Advice please!

    CRC MAF Cleaner for both. Sensor safe. Increased my fuel usage when I cleaned both.

    20-50L / 100ks ?!?! Advice please!

    Normal for the fuel usage to seem ridiculous when the car has only been idling. My VZ Calais went from 13L/100km to 99L/100km after I changed the battery. Give your MAF and throttlebody a good cleaning then take the car out for a decent drive and see what your usage changes to.

    Common faults and problems with '05 VZ Calais

    Hi all, I'm having a look at a VZ Calais this weekend, and wondering if there is any common problems for the VZ Series that I should keep a keen eye for? Any common oil leak locations? Body & Electrical issues etc.? Thanks

    VR Tailshaft Centre Bearing - Can I dodgy it?

    The center bearing support that holds the tail shaft in place sheared off this morning, my mechanic is about 1.5KM away. Is there away I can cable tie or support the tail shaft so I can baby it to my mechanic without causing harm to my unis etc? Ta.

    VR V6 Flex plate/Torque Converter noise.

    QFn3vhZlnBQ This is the best example of what I believe my flex plate is doing. Idling a nice wobble, soon as torque is applied and revs increased straightens out. Sounds exactly like my car aswell.

    Not really, only at idle. I don't like taking anyone else in my car because It's embarrassing :(

    VR V6 Flex plate/Torque Converter noise.

    Guess so, it's never fully gone away always had a vibration. It can seem to get better or worse, I can stop at one set of traffic lights and it can be average at best, the next set it will be worse. It's always there tho.

    VR V6 Flex plate/Torque Converter noise.

    Vibration never goes away, it can be worse and the noise coming from the flexplate area is more pronounced on cold starts. After work last night I did go into the trans shop that my mechanic rang up, the guy said it does feel like somethings out of balanced but thought it could be the exhaust...

    Have you tried unbolting the converter, pushing it back into the housing then starting the engine?
