    Can anyone tell me why my Air Con belt keeps throwing itself?

    G'day, My 06 ve ss was doing same thing! There is an 'air con pulley fix'. Obviously you know there is one pulley that runs the a/c. Basically they put an extra pulley in that stops it throwing! I had my balancer replaced at the same time. Cost about $450 from Holden. Hope that helps.

    funny place for a water leak! please help!

    Yes mate. I also posted this on a different forum for help. Apparently the earlier models had had issues with not enough sealant where the body meets the firewall! Water flows in behind the firewall and makes it between the lower and upper sheet metal. The fix apparently is to reapply...

    king springs low to FE2 height king springs

    Gday, Had a bit of a search but couldn't find exactly the answer I was looking, so I hope someone can help. I have a VX V6 commodore. I had it lowered sometime ago and had king spring 'lows KHRL-45' (according to current catalogue) put on the rears. Not s/low or u/low. I have always...

    Purge hose

    Gday to all, It's been a while. Once again this forum has saved me!! After some fault finding and reading here, I have discovered that the purge hose on my v6 vx has come off at the back of the engine side where it joins into a little black box. It looks like the hard plastic has broken...

    wet carpet in 2006 VE SS cabin!!

    ok I think I may have pinpointed the water is coming in from. The drain hole in the intake for the heating was completely blocked with dirt and leaves etc..... The filter was completely soaking as well. I also noticed that when pouring water onto the windscreen it was getting under the...

    wet carpet in 2006 VE SS cabin!!

    I am trying to work out where the water drains to from the windscreen plenum so I can track the water. I have noticed a couple of more things. With the bonnet up there is some foam up against the firewall. This is wet also. The second thing (with the bonnet up), on the passenger side...

    wet carpet in 2006 VE SS cabin!!

    Ok it is worse than I thought! Just went out to investigate further.... Carpet on top feels dry in majority of areas. However, when carpet is lifted up it wet everywhere!!! The whole floor of the car is wet!! In fact in some areas it is pooling!! What the hell am I going to do?

    wet carpet in 2006 VE SS cabin!!

    G'day to all, I have had a 2006 VE SS commodore for a couple of years now. I don't know if its because of its age but it's starting to give me a few problems and has cost me a bit of money recently! My latest saga is water getting into the cabin!! At first I thought it was just the...

    G'day, I have been searching and searching but no luck. Can anyone point me in the direction of a labelled engine diagram for '06 VE SS. The one that gives names and positions of pulleys etc..... Thanks in advance.

    ve ss vibration

    Thanks for your reply. When you say fifth gear might be too 'high' at that speed. Do you mean the speed might be too high for the gear? So I should be in sixth?

    ve ss vibration

    G'day to all, I have a 2006 VE SS M6 95 000 kms on the clock. It has developed a bit of a vibration and it only does it in 5th gear at about 90-100 km/h. If I change up or down a gear and maintain same speed the vibration is gone. It almost feels like an unbalanced wheel but it...

    Bottom bolt and nut from rear shock absorber

    My car is a sedan. So glenn I, are you saying that the other side with the nut is the dodgy one? On this side once I undid the nut I was able to pull the bolt out not screw it out. If that makes sense. So are bolts meant to screw in? I am happy to leave the bolt in there as I have...

    Bottom bolt and nut from rear shock absorber

    Thanks for your reply Brett_jjj, I might have another crack it tomorrow. If I get the bolt off can i replace with something similar from say bunnings or something? Cheers.

    Bottom bolt and nut from rear shock absorber

    G'day to all, Some of you may have read my previous post in regards to raising the back of my car with king springs for variety of reasons. Anyway I decided to do it today. The last time anyone did anything to my suspension was about 5 years ago when I had it lowered. I have had the...

    6 years later, 2 kids a gas tank and the rear is now too low. Advice needed please!!

    Ok the plot thickens. I emailed an ebay king springs seller for advice. He/She tells me that the KHRL-46 that I have on the rear are superlow not low for a VX commodore!! I suppose a trick for young players!! This should lower it by 50mm to stock. Obviously over the last 5-6 years and the...

    6 years later, 2 kids a gas tank and the rear is now too low. Advice needed please!!

    I did think of that. For a set of rears they are about $140 off ebay and I was going to fit them my self. However, if they are not what I want I have wasted $140! Cheers.

    6 years later, 2 kids a gas tank and the rear is now too low. Advice needed please!!

    thanks onlinejames. I presume this was on a VX? So you went from stock springs to standard king springs? So it lifted the car up higher than stock? Do you have codes? Thanks for your help.

    6 years later, 2 kids a gas tank and the rear is now too low. Advice needed please!!

    I know this has probably been done to death before, but I need some help from someone that has experience with king spring codes. Some years ago I had my 2001 VX commodore lowered on king springs. It is now our family car with baby seats in the back and prams in the boot. Since having it...

    vx wheels

    At the moment thinking about putting stockies back on. Just thinking about the cost of getting the current ones fixed. Also in the long run it will cheaper to replace 15 inch tires than the 17 inch tires. Budget is a bit tight and third baby on the way!! First I have to try and track down...

    vx wheels

    G'day to all, Some time ago I had my 2001 VX lowered on king springs and had a set of 17inch wheels put on it. Seven years down the track all the chrome from the wheels are starting to peel off and it's looking pretty bad! My question is, am I able to go back to original wheels (15...

    vx normal temp gauge reading

    G'day to all, I did search but couldn't seem to find an answer. My wife drives a 2001 VX Commodore. Apart from being on gas it's stock. She seems to think that its running slightly warmer than it usually does. I don't drive it that often so I can't remember where the needle should...

    pulleys or something else?

    Stupid question but... What am I listening for? Will it be the same 'whining' noise but louder?
  30. P

    pulleys or something else?

    I apologise for coming back to this. I am still trying to work this one out. When the car is on and slightly revved the 'whining' sound increases and decreases with the revs. I think I have narrowed down the 'whining' sound to the power steering/power steering pulley. With the belt off...

    car exhaling!!

    Thanks guys. The car runs fine. Like I said I recently gave the filter and the throttle body a clean and both were pretty dirty. I think it might be the induction sound. Cheers.

    car exhaling!!

    G'day again, I posted a thread a couple of days ago in regards to a 'whining' 'moaning' sound from the vx. Whilst investigating this problem I seemed to have discovered possibly another. The only way I can describe it is that when I switch the engine off it seems to make an 'exhale'...

    pulleys or something else?

    G'day to all, First post for a while. This topic has been discussed before and I have done a lot of reading but still having trouble. My wifes vx (has 120 000kms on it) has developed a 'whirring' sound from the engine bay. In park/neutral on idle it sounds alright until the revs are...

    commodore stalling!

    I found another thread on here in regards to codes. Apparantly 10 flashes means zero. So I was getting 0012. Code 12 meaning all normal. I tried the 'massaging' my wires. Could not find anything. I will just keep waiting. Thanks.

    commodore stalling!

    thanks azzaVT. The LPG system is not a direct injection system. I have read the system diagnoses codes but make no sense to me. It gives 10 initial flashes. A short pause followed by 10 more flashes. Then a longer pause followed by 1 flash. A short pause followed by 2 flashes. (code 12) Then...

    commodore stalling!

    I have only ever noticed it on LPG. However, I run it on LPG 99.9% of the time. So I couldn't tell you if it does it on petrol. Plus it is so intermittent you just never know when it is going to do it! Thanks for your time.

    commodore stalling!

    G'day all, It's been a while since I have visited. I tried searching the site but can't seem to find an answer to my issue. I have a 2001 VX Commodore. 110000 kms. The only mods are exhaust, extractors and LPG conversion about 12 months ago. The issue is this. Every now and then that...
