change your diff oil and use a diff addative, (as long as its not the LSD). had a similar issue in my ute and changed the oil 2 times in a week, then on the 2nd time used the addative. So much smoother now.. also if you are going to change it get the bottle that has the pull out filler, Was an...

just a straight bit of pipe that joing them together, As for the reason its there, "god only knows" and the idiots who design these things.

yes top firewall hose goes passenger side and to the top outlet.. Bottom fire wall hose goes driver side, into the water tap then across the front of the engine to the bottom outlet. Hope this helps..

I paid 180 for a tune, Back to base idle all oils, filters, plugs etc... 190 for the trans service, filter, oil, output shaft seal and cleaned the ouput shaft which was rusted.. so probably about right cost.. and I agree with above post that crank angle sensor is a bit expensive. All the above...

I seen the other week a scan tool that fits into the cars diagnostics and has a iphone connector on the other. I am not sure though if tunerpro etc are compatably to iphone.. lets you see real time data if you can find the program for it. I think it was Repco but am not sure.. Was about $120...

hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows if the fuel sender/pump set up out of a VS will fit into the VR or are the plugs different. Also is the ute version different from the sedan system. And is there a difference between the V6 and V8 fuel tanks. Thanks in advance Brian

its the load sensing valve for the brake distribution..

when changing the plugs you didnt happen to pull the air hose off for the MAP sensor. should be on the firewall passenger side.. and i agree that the leads are an absolute nightmare to do.. Try doing your rotor button if you got a spare hour or 3..was good fun

This controller is attached to the bar between the 2 rear shocks on my Vr ute with a simple piece of chain. Am thinking it is a hydraulic brake controller but i am not sure nor do i know what it does. If anyone knows i would be greatful for your assistance. I only found it yesdterday when i...

further on the dramas.. found the fuel pressure regulator has split, so replaced it ($198) at cost price. then had a hesitation when taking off from a stop. then had a leaking injector, replaced all the o-rings. still leaking, had a crack in an injector. Replaced them all with bosch 960's...

ok replaced the o-rings, still leaked. Found an injector with a crack. Replaced the whole set with bosch 960's. all good now

hi all. have replaced my fuel pressure regulator the other day. now i got 2 things wrong 1/ I have a hesitation when taking off, to the point that is feels like it is going to stall. 2/ Now got a leaking injector, going to try and get replacement o-ring. as its leaking from the bottom...

just wondering if you are still doing memcals, for a VR 5.0L. with CAI extractors, and big exhaust.. If so what would I be looking at. Thanking you Brian

finally found another perished hose this morning, was the shroud around the filler pipe and the petrol flap. completely split about half way around un the underside. also am replacing the brake booster hose today, coil and rotor.. and also looking at a new ignition module just to make sure...

Ok so I changed the O2 sensor and also the plugs, along with the fuel lines under the bonnet, found the return line hose perished to the core, Since then no smell. But now i have encountered a few other issues. Idles slightly rough sometimes, also noticed that it idles around the 800mark at one...

no bloody way, she is a god damn leadfoot. had 1 point on her licence for the past 5years. and that was in an old lancer..

I am now leaning toward the injectors after doing the easier stuff now, I decided to get new plugs, O2sensor and replace them again. in a month they are all covered in black soot. So now am down to injectors.. thanks for your input on this..was greatly appreciated..

have been driving around all day yesterday, the O2 sensor is going from 77 to 1500mva? in tunerpro going from orange to red. only in the blue while idling. looks like i will replace that today with a bosch(note to self, GET THE BETTER ONES you idiot). Also going to look at what injectors are...

Looking at getting a memcal for Vr 5.0l ute.. 3inch exhaust, headers, CAI. Think it may have a crap ebay tune in it already, burning tank of fuel in 220km. on the laptop everything shows clear and within specs, so am down to the memcal.. What would you recomend for it, probably 70%freeway...

welcome to the club, mine burning a tank in 220km..and not heavy on the gas.. done the same as you and still no joy. Starting to think maybe a re-tuned memcal could be an answer. Have you had any mods done? and did you replace the breather hose from top of the tank with the originals from...

good on you for doing the re-build youself..patience, patience and a damn understanding mrs..I done 2 of the ecotecs last year, one for me and another for a mate.. take your time, clean everything, then clean again. then wrap all clean parts in a good clean cloth, and away from dogs and such...

ok,, Diagnostoc tool turned up this arvo,, Anyway first thing i notive is that timed to +20deg.. not the -10deg BTDC.will run it further and better test on way to work tonight.. But no fault codes at all...

but thanks for the offers though

na guys its not the square hitch type,, Its actually an old schooly tongue type..

also the exhaust pipe on the inner side is black with carbon deposits.. 3.5inch exhaust

I am trying to find a new towbar tongue for the VR ute.. The attachments on the car is from KERR Engineering.. Is this genuine? and would anyone know if an aftermarket(Hayman reece) would fit.. Really need it and urgently, and no towing places help. carousel in Sydney said if its not...

ok, well had a tune done again, and still runing rich.. managed 280km out of tank. when i reverse you can hear BP rubbing there hands together it is that bad.. The mechanic i go to doesnt have a diagnostic tool.. I am still stumped.. Got an after market O2 sensor in that i had to re-wire up...

forgot to mention that when i changed the pump i never disconnected the battery, just pulled the fuse.. I have done the battery not 10 mins ago and will give it a while then see what happens.. Still thinking its the tune though.

you want a swap for Honda XR250..road registerable.. blown knee and cant use the thing

thanks for the input. I pulled the tank out yesterday and replaced all the lines, Fuel pump and also the pulsator(which was perished) for a 2nd hand one. Now it is all holding pressure, so no more waiting for the prime. Also tightened the lines in the engine bay as some were not that tight, I...

hi all, Massive fuel issue,, VR 5.0l ute. I am currently getting about 220-230km on a full standard tank. All the lines under the bonnet have been replaced. Been fully serviced by good mechanic who i trust. Done work for me on my restored XU1. Also I am betting a strong fuel smell in the...

Hi, So you have had 2 allignments in a year?? that sounds a bit odd, unless you changed parts?? According to holden on my old VS the power steering will get lighter when there is a problem with the Rack! mine was the same. could nearly fart and send it around a corner.. Even after a reco was...

thanks hako.and will be replacing the solenoid in the next few days.. Cheers

hi all, having a problem with the a/c fan.. on settings 1 and 2 i get no fan blowing. Then on 3 and 4 the fan works.. Any thoughts on this would be great.. Thanks all

yeah i have put new bulbs in already, seem to recall a bit of corrosion in the bayonette fittings.. but was not what i would call severe. My old hilux ones were nearly welded with rust and still worked when i replaced them...

hi all, Got issue (obviously). Brake light works without headlight.. Turn headlight on and its a permanent brake light. Was thinking corrosion in the bayonet fitting?? anyone else had the same issues?? Thanks in advance Brian

Thanks for all the thoughts people, I decided to braze some milled down airline fittings to the original bolt for the trans lines.. Ran flexible tran line and was done with it.. I even tried holden for the lines, But they havent made them since 1998...Took it to the local box place and they...
