The comparison price was the price of all these fuels taken when I purchased Premium 98. The problem I had, was Premium 95 cost was really high but 3 weeks later when I bought the Premium 98 the price was cheaper than even Premium 95. This would upset the price per km outcome. So to put all...

The 4l60e or 4L60-E as its called is the transmission.

Hi Guys, Over the last several thousand km's I have been performing a fuel usage test. All fuel was purchased at the same petrol station at around the same time of day. The test consisted of a full tank of standard unleaded (91) then a tank of E10, followed by standard unleaded (91), then P95...

I had tried this already as I suspected something similar. However if you put your hand over the foot vents you can feel warm air coming out and put your hand over the face vents you get slightly chilled air.

Supe, I don't think this is the issue as when travelling at highway speed and on fresh and not re-circulate you will feel icy cold air coming through the vents. This means that the air conditioning system is actually still functioning however the fan has just stopped. TO EVERYONE OUT THERE WITH...

Very strange, I too have noticed this almost immediately after the last software update I had done on the climate control system in my car. If you turn the temp up slightly it still feels cold on your face but the rest of you begins to feel warmer (unless doing a short trip). The reason for this...

The saga continues. However they have perfomed another software update this time updating everthing... apparently. The problem still exists with a hot cabin as the fan still cuts outs however I on a slightly different note I got good new and bad news. Bad news is if you have a VE from within the...

After fiddling with the screen opening and closing I have managed to get the video to work on the rear screen however it looks washed out and there are flickering pink dots all over brightly lit areas on the video. When stationary it plays on both front and rear screen and the front screen looks...

It is about 2 years out of warranty. Also as I live out of town, there is only 1 Holden dealer and I have been back there a number of times due to various issues and I think they are getting sick of me. Hehe.

Hey all, Noticed this morning a slight issue with the DVD player (the stock one that's included in the Calais V) where I put a movie on and got audio through the speakers but no picture on either the rear or front screen. Even stopping the movie I didn't get the Blaupunkt DVD screen that...

vn4250 Valid point with ajusting the aircon however since climate control is all computer controlled that didn't have any effect (manually adjusting the temp and fan speed). I did however press the OFF button and turned it immediately back on still with no success but when I turned it off for...

Hi guys, I have skimmed though the other posts and cant find anyone already having this problem. My Calais V, when getting in the car after it sitting in the hot sun for quite a while is set to 21 degrees as normal which I am comfortable with. However after about 5 minutes of the aircon working...

I think the problem is not the bluetooth software used in the car but the phone itself using a different version of bluetooth. If you go to this website Bluetooth® Compatibility - Bluetooth® - Owners Info - Holden. Go better. you will see that different phones will have different effects. I...

I had this exact problem with my old VE SV6. There is a problem between the BCM, HVAC and headunit/facia. A quick fix is to remove the facia by pulling on it from the bottom and cleaning the contacts between the facia and headunit. This worked for me a couple times. But while under warranty got...

No the low oil pressure warning never come up. Had my 60,000km service completed today and asked the dealer to show me how the Engine Oil % is reset, the guy said first off that he is not meant to show me but since I can't do it myself he would. He plugged the TECH2 in and went though a couple...

Thanks VE_SS_V8, not trying to be rude or anything but as I said in the original post that method doesn't work and I assume it's for the V8 only. Any other suggestions?

Yeah well thats what I think. Though after the oil change to car seems to sound normal again. I think its too excessive and the Holden dealer just said what he did because he doesn't know any better. I know my VE SV6 that I had never had this issue. Any ideas on Oil Life reset?

I got 2 questions. 1) How do you reset the oil life meter in Engineering Mode? I have already looked though the forums and found going into engineering mode and pushing the accelerator pedal 3 times quickly then off again doesn't do anything at all so I assume this is for the V8 model. I have...

Quick question. I have an N95 which only allows partial compatibility and looking at getting a HTC smartphone. On Holden's website it pretty much lists all of HTC older phones so was no help. It does say it supports the HTC Touch HD with full compatibility which I can't get on a plan however I...

Why not do it the other way around? Disable Bluetooth on your phone. Or if you want use bluetooth for other devices pair your phone with Vehicle BT and set it as unauthorised so it wont ask you to type a PIN every time you get in your car.

Personally I haven't had an issue with my phone 'Nokia N95' with either my old SV6 or my new Calais V. I do however have a relative who has an iPhone (I believe the first series) it paired up with my car perfectly but he had to turn the volume up to hear anything and listening to him though my...

When I had my SV6 and needed to get the headunit replaced, they pulled the CD out and saw it was a CD-R and refused to replace the headunit due to the fact I was using a burnt CD. Even though the problem was with the unit (center console, air con, etc) not turning on occasionaly. Since then I...

Passion Red, I got the '06 Calais V and I had the 'Contact Dealer' come up on the screen. Took it to Holden and after connecting the Tech2 said that 2 of the computer systems reported low voltage. They tested all the various points for voltage leakage but came up empty, battery also tested fine...

Interesting you mention window tint. I am not sure where the sensor is for the remote receiver but when I asked about getting my windows tinted the Holden dealer said to make sure they use non metallic tint as it can have an effect on the range of the remotes, also it can play up a little with...

Interesting issue this. I have a friend with a 09 Caprice and he and his wife both have the same problem exactly with their phones. They pair to the system no problem but at no stage will it ever say 'Voice In' on the headunit's screen. To make matters worse in testing. Pressing the phone button...

Hey I had the exact same problem with my SV6. My local Holden dealer replaced the fasica and head unit a bunch of time not to mention replacing the clips and cleaning the contacts. End result was after 2 years and 9 months of having this problem on and off every month until I trading it in for a...

A simple question I guess. I haven't had my Calais V all that long. Its advertised with 11 speakers yet I can only find 9. Any ideas where the other 2 are? Here is what I know. 1 Front centre dash 2 Left and right dash 2 Left and right front doors 2 Left and rigth rear doors 2 Parcel...

Hey Mick, I too had the exact same problem when I had an 07 VE SV6. The entire center console had no power, screen, audio and air con controls were non functional. The problem first happened about 6 months after I had the car (bought it new) and progressively got more frequent. Taking it to...

Hi guys, First time posting here. Great forum and some really good info for my VE. Anyways, I have a question for anyone who has had the top part of the VE Calais removed (for whatever reason). Infront of the center speaker grill and above the air vents is what appears to be a plastic cover...
