    2009 LLT VE SV6 Smoke And Misfire When Low On Fuel?

    Hence why you've been watching tooo many commercials. Obviously, TV commercials & possibly beer companies etc pay homage to some past historical event/person etc. My point still remains though... Don't go under 1/4 tank

    2009 LLT VE SV6 Smoke And Misfire When Low On Fuel?

    Hardley a Furphy... Lay off the TV commercials mate. It's a common occurrence with EFI's as all the sediment settles on the bottom of the fuel tank. It may not happen right away, but slowly-slowly it will get into the injectors & cause the little spray nozzles to foul up. You can laugh all...

    2009 LLT VE SV6 Smoke And Misfire When Low On Fuel?

    EFI cars should never fall below 1/4 tank due to the injectors blocking via unwanted fuel contaminants which usually reside at the bottom of the fuel tank.

    Holden VE Commodore SV6 3.6L LLT Engine Timing Chains Still Loose After Replacing!

    why would you spend $150 on a timing chain kit when the labor alone is worth more than the kit??? Not to add salt to the wound mate but you've spent/purchased a kit for $150 when a genuine kit costs 5x more [around $800 - $1200] & you're expecting the cheap kit to last as long as the genuine...
