Thank you the car is missing a bit when under load hence the check, will look at coil plugs and leads next. cheers

my wagon v6 shows the following flashing light code on the dash- 12 -10-10 and back to 12 (one flash two flash, pause ten flash short pause ten flash pause and back to 12) 12 I know is that system is working, but what does 10 mean, I can find no reference for ten? and yes one would think one...

Hello anyone?

I have seen similar symptoms with fuel filters also dirty fuel or water in the fuel.

I replaced the front driver's side hub recently and noticed a slight shudder (jerking?)when braking after about 100km (and just before coming to a stop) thought it might be electrical so disconnected the battery and drained any remaining power in the system but the problem returned again after...

Hi, yes good question. I have used Tuner Pro a couple of years ago to turn the airbag light off and want to do that again (I know if the light still stays on there is a problem. I think it will stay off for a while). I had someone do that for me on this disc and cable, they are not around so I...

Yes, thanks re. OBD2 (designed by Obi-wan and R2D2 I suspect?), my research shows you are correct the OBD2 does not work unless it is an LS1 (Canadian?) motor. I also found there is a Bluetooth One adaptor that works with Iphones where you run a download RoqyBt7 from cydia. I can only imagine...

Hello Immortality and interested members, 1. I put the disk in it shows; FILES READY TO BE WRITTEN TO THE DISK (2) (note I had someone use this on this laptop about 18 months ago so I don't know if it has to installed again?). 2. CLICK OPEN; USB ALDL CABLE SOFTWARE; FILES...

I hope the photo came out ok. This message is to complex for me and appears a bit over the top in my opinion? I am surprised it does not also say hop in a circle while doing this. From past experience with similar computer problems at the end of it, it still does not work. Anyhow I have a new...

Thank you all for your help, The message that I would like to show you (that Tuner Pro won't let me copy and paste ), so I took a photo so I could post here to see using the red UPLOAD A FILE at the bottom of the page, what happens is it says ERROR OCCURRED THE UPLOADED FILE IS TO LARGE FOR THE...

Ok, so I recently did a post regarding trying to get a Tunerpro RT to work. I should point out that I am 59 so this is not easy (yes I know, there is an 89-year-old who has no problems), I did a previous post but can not find it maybe it has been removed? Someone was kind enough to send me a...

Before I begin I am sorry if the following is posted in the wrong section, my car is a VX model but someone with another model may also be able to help hence this site. I am trying to connect a fault /code finder it is a cable that connects from the module/fitting under the dash to a laptop. I...

Thanks Neddybear and for the attachments, this is the road I may take as I do most of my own work on our wagon (280000 km ). "Mc Callahan says" I hear the circus is looking for a couple of punk clowns.

Anyone have an idea why my VX Commodore V6 has recently changed its exhaust note, it is not so much louder but has a four-cylinder sound on acceleration (it is running ok on six but using a little bit more fuel). So before I put it on a hoist to find out the problem has anyone had a similar...

Anyone know why different spark plug leads are specified for a supercharged v6 engine?

Thanks guys you made me take a closer look and sure enough the red+ lead had come loose from the eye fitting, I have soldered it in place and all is good. Thanks again

I recently cleaned my battery leads and repaired a loose connection to the positive terminal. now I have no power to ignition or any of the dash lights. Having googled the problem it appears I should have kept power to the leads while doing this, and that it is ECU related but no clear...

We recently purchased a Cv6 Monaro (we still have our trusty Commodore Vx wagon) .My question is can I use the same spark plugs as the wagon or do I need Iridium ones? my research shows the spark plug leads are not the same,maybe to do with the supercharger?

The same type Gen 3. Thanks

The same Gen 3.

Hi looking for some advice and information. I am considering the purchase of a VY (if the price) is right. The car has had an engine swap Gen 3 v8 with another v8 . It also has no exhaust system. The owner says the engines runs poorly as the fault codes need resetting. (and yes no exhaust would...

Is anyone familiar with the rear electric windows not always working? Sometimes the Left sometimes the Right one and usually in the down position. After sometime they usually start to work, I checked the console switch and its not the switches or main plug (I have replaced the drivers switch...

OK Thanks - I will replace the unit asap Cheers Ronno

Just recently my VX indicators are sometimes not working, either the left or right side stays on (globes appear ok). Would it be the " indicator relay" or should I be looking some where else ? Cheers Ronno

Hi, could some one tell me how to remove the front door panel, I have removed the obvious screws, inside handle and lock- but something appears to be holding it near the top, does the small trim panel need to be removed -if so how? Regards ronno

Our drivers window is not working up or down, there are no blown fuses or relays and the motor sounds like it is trying in the door. I am about to pull the door panel off, has anyone had the same problem and know what to look for ? Thank you - Happy & Safe motoring Ronno

The Outcome; The alternator that was given to me turned out to be from a VR it has different mounts and the regulator plug was also different, however I was able to fit the regulator by common electrical fittings that slide into the VX clip (making sure L went into L and S...

I could get one from a VS -not sure if that would be ok>?

Im guessing to check error codes I need some type of Tech devise that i dont have?

Yes its looking that way if I am using my multimeter correctly it is showing 17 v, now I find both low beams have blown and all the dash gauges are having a mind of there own as well as the idle speed going up and then down when the high beam is turned on. Thankyou gfor your help, Regards Ronno

Our VX wagons battery and ! warning lights recently came on . I replaced the battery but the lights still come on, also after about 30 seconds the ABS lights come on and the fuel gauge drops down. I checked the alternator brushes - appear ok (about 10mm wear length ) . Has anyone come...

Hello, No brake lights on my VX, I have checked the fuse and globes-all ok so Im going to replace the brake light swich. Could some one tell me the best way to go about this, as there appear to be some obsticals in the way. Thanks Ronno

Hello could someone tell me what I need to undo to get to the brake light switch on a VX. Thanks Ronno

With the referance guide missing -which one is the fuel relay? Cheers- Ronno

Does the fuel relay need to be disconnected , engine run & fuel cap removed or can the fuel filter be removed with out going through this process ? Now I would not attempt this (risk of petrol in face) but it would settle a small bet with a mate. Cheers- Ronno

Update- took the car in and Tech 2 showed the drivers side air bag not working, it appears some wires are broken in the seat? (Bottom right on the back of the seat in seated possition). It is booked in for repairs in the next few days. Keep you posted and thanks re:scan tool Ronno

Thankyou all for your help, I will follow up on the advice and post the result . Regards Ronno
