fan clutch the fan thermo clutch i ready to fall off. you can get one from the wreckers or buy a new one i wouldn't keep driving it like that in case it lets go and breaks the radiator or dents the bonnet from the inside i wouldn't jut put a straight fan on as they steal to much power a...

even without the power steering in the way it sucks - you may have to unbolt loosly to get it in. Does the VK have the hole behind the grille, beside the radiator? I know the VC doesn't. the 3.3 dosen't have it because holden was poor at the time, and only did the minimum to get past...

Factory CAI there was a CAI on the 1.9 (4) and the 2.85 (6) for the VH models. Look for the setup from the 1.9 because of the lower engine bay temp the rubber hose is in usable condition, where all the sixs I've come across are brittle and useless. you can see a setup here...

Don't laugh, but bakelite is really good and you can cut it to suite http://www.sumibe.co.jp/english/heat/index.html http://www.abc.net.au/science/antarctica/brassmonkey/quiz15.htm finding a small sheet is the prblem. there is some other stuff on the market, but i can't remeber it's name (sorry)

try getting a timing light when go to do the change check the timing and right it down before you change it. the harmonic balancers like to splip on them. so even if it is right at 12deg. it may read higher or lower if the balancer is slipped. so don't just put it back to 12 if it goes bad...

almost all driveing during peak hour. It's recenlty got better. It was running to lean, cooked the plugs. the tuner said they use more when too lean (?) Kilometers per litre = 6.481 miles per gallon = 18.317 litres per 100 kilometers = 15.428

I got bendix ultimates and i agree, lots of dust. probably great for heavy use but lots of cleaning. i won't get them again

It's not really me, it's a gandad car i picked. I just keep it clean. I've got some more picks here http://gallery.oldholden.com/82vh/

pipe locations If you mean the smoke coming out of the air breather on the top of the rocker cover, that's blow by which can be bad valve seals or rings? The red one controls the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve; just make sure it’s blocked down where the pipe feeds into the...

My 82 VH clicked over 40000 on the thirteenth of April. I’ve had it a year and put 8000 on it. No it’s not wound back, I meet the original owner. I’m the second owner

i had the exact same thing here is a photo http://gallery.oldholden.com/82vh/Fuel+Tank/ of the rear drivers side wheel arch. with a lot of fiddling, i just dropped the tank on to a jack about 50mm to do all the pipes. much better than pulling right out.

cool lets see a photo Rims/tyres The original rims are in the shed Radio The original working radio is in an air tight bag. Fortunatly i didn't need to cut anything to fit the CD player. Ceramic coated exhaust manifold Technically not original, but won’t fail in the stock section of a...

I had a dodgy clutch fan but it didn’t have the normal symptoms. The car ran cool (it was winter), but the engine idle particularly when clod kept changing slightly up and down. Checked all the usual culprits and found nothing. The give away was when I first drove off in the morning there would...

another 82 VH I have an 82 VH as well. I choose it because I didn’t want the latest (insert disposable mini car) as the second family car. I paid double market value for mine with 32k on the clock Having a car sit for I long time is bad for them as I learned. The car when I got it looked...

easy or hard If you don't have extractors it's easy -disconnect the cable from the negative terminal -raise the front of the car -remove the bolts attaching the exhaust from the exhaust manifold, and allow the exhaust to drop down a bit -label all the wires or take a photo with a digital...

three of a kind (not) I’ve got Gregory’s, Max Ellery and Haynes. As some one said earlier they cover different things at better or worse detail. As an example, about three months ago I put a carby kit through, didn’t change any settings just replacement. This week while on holiday I...

This is an interesting web page about diagnosing problems with a vacuum gauge, doesn’t matter if carby or fuel injected http://www.users.bigpond.com/ergoff/vac1.htm

Disabling EGR Cons - IT’S ILLEGAL - it’s not environmentally friendly - it makes the combustion burn a higher temp which can lead to pinking - it makes the fuel / air mix leaner requiring a mixture change or larger jets Pros - it’s not using pre-burned gasses - the older the motor the...

This isn’t a question just a warning. The air con died during winter, I noticed because I used it to defrost the windscreen. When I got home I checked under the bonnet and found clear sticky oil, this came from the compressor seals letting go. It looked harmless enough and I decided to...

Egr On my 202 I just plugged the vacuum hose just as it comes out of the carby. It looks standard, if you pull on the diaphragm on the EGR is still stutters. To reverse it you just replace the hose or pull the plug out. It did make it run noticeably better, but disabling the EGR makes it run...

If some one has a wiring diagram for a VL can you tell me what the wiring is for the 02 sensor attached to the exhaust manifold? It’s a heated sensor and has three wires black (neg?) red (pos?) and white (sensor?) I just want to be sure before I hook it up, so I don’t cook the tester...

a picture worth a thousand words Unfortunately there is a lot of variation between models including manual, auto, size and particularly between states. NSW had the most restrictive emissions so there is a difference. I have three manuals and none are exactly right. These photos are from a...

you should change the intake street machine did a story on a blue 202, and how to warm it up. the first test they did was remove the air filter and replace the clutch fan and they got an extra 14 KW from the cleaner and 4 kw from the thermo fan Quote - "Examinination of the dyno data on...
