Hi! First time poster here. I've got a 2002 VY Acclaim wagon auto that I'm looking to engine swap to a LS1 and I was looking for some advice on where to start. My plan was to buy a refurbed long engine and a v8 statesman/something similar parts car. I know I will need to get an engineer on...

Hi Guys, New to forum. Glad to be here. I am looking at selling my VZ Acclaim but wanted to check a few things before sale. When I bought the car a couple of months ago I noticed it idled really low and shook the car. I find myself rocking in my seat gently at idle or when parked at a light...

Bought a '04 vz acclaim that needed some work. It has a fuel gauge error and it won't start. I have a way to get around it but I need it fixed so I can register the car. I've already installed a new fuel pump assembly and replaced the entire computer including the ecu and bcm but it still came...

Hi all, I am not clear as to how the Traction Control actually works on a car, Vx Commodore specifically. Like does it have anything at all to do with the transmissions, or is it solely the PCM, wheel sensors and ABS ? As I need to replace the trans on the Vx, and have a perfectly good Vt one...

Hi All, I’m new on the VZ block and was hoping to get some help or pointed in right direction PLEEEAASEE???! So I brought my 2005 VZ Acclaim last week off a very shady appearing seller (lol!) car was cheap looked good condition n I needed a car ASAP so ignored my gut when it was telling me to...

G'day guys and gals. I am brand new to owning a commodore and wanted a quick guide on the sound system! Right now it's a Sony double din screen (for my reversing camera) and the twin front speakers working. And from what I can see it has 4 x door speakers, 2 in front and 2 in back, and 2 x...

Okay so I have trawled the existing posts and can't find an issue quite like mine listed. If there is a similar post feel free to link it! So this issue started a few months back just on and off but it seems to be getting more pronounced. Basically there is a metallic grating/grinding sound...

Hello Team, First post here. I own a 2002 VX Commodore Acclaim (Series II). I'm unsure if its fitted with an alarm, though it seems like it is. When the vehicle is locked and armed, interfering with the bonnet, doors, boot etc seems to trigger some sort of setting, where the blinkers...

Hi all, So, unfortunately my car was written off last week due to some idiot blowing a red and t-boning the car. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar model VT and knows what to expect as an insurance payout amount for the car. I understand that they go by market value of the car at...

Hey well my sisters VR Acclaim's been doing something weird lately, when you turn the key the lights on the dash all come on and you get that really quiet initial sound from the engine bay but the car wont turn over. Any ideas why this may be? Also the lights on the dash stay on untill it...
