Just wondering if anyone can confirm for me that a V6 engine with a little over 250,000K using 14.4L/100 and is using oil, but not blowing any smoke could be related to the timing chains being worn. Looking at getting a comp test done to ensure rings are fine, but a mechanic mate mentioned that...

Hey lads, I recently picked up a VT wagon I've been using for work which has a low fuel issue. So after filling the tank up full, I can only use about 60L before the car has issues starting and running if I'm on any sort of incline and/or parked in the gutter. Before I start investigating it...

Hello all. Before I start I apologise for the long rant. As the title says I'm having some serious fuel issues that I'm hoping I might be able to get some help. So the problem I'm having is the car idles fine and will drive OK when cold. But once warm it struggles to accelerate under any...

Hi, the vehicle in question is a 2002 holden commodore vx v6 with 201000 on the clock. My main issue is when the fuel cap is screwed in to place the fuel tank immediately starts to suction in. This is easily visible by looking underneath at the tank and seeing the tank rise off its brackets...

Hello, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find anything related.. I was driving my VL N/A the other day and heard a loud "bang" sound from the rear so I put the car in park and looked under the back but couldn't see anything.. I continued driving and about 400...

Hey guys got a bit of a little problem with the old 1995 vs v6, took it upto the servo and pumped about $90 of premium 98 in the tank no dramas (first time actually filling the thing up the whole way) , screwed the fuel cap on and heard a bit of a dripping noise, looked under the car and to my...

Hello, Bloody frustrating. The trip meter in my VX Acclaim 2002 resets on its own whenever I turn the car on. Won't do it every time, but 8/10 times its back at 0.00km. Annoying when I'm trying to watch fuel consumption any ideas? Battery terminals are fine, I had to take the dash out to...

Has anyone here had petrol leaking around the fuel tank on a VT sedan? Pulled into the car park at work this morning (relatively hard left turn) and once I got out I smelt fuel. Looked under the tank and it was dripping with fuel. Ive got about 1/4 tank in there. I'm pretty sure it only happened...

The video explains it all. Lately I've had to turn it over 2-3 times to get it to start. It won't start if i turn it to the accs position, only if i start it with a full turn. I bought a new key and synced it by turning the car on, then swapping the key heads. But it hasn't made it...

Hi all, I recently bought a second hand (ex police) 2012 VEII Omega 3.0L LPG with about 60,000k's on the clock.

Hey there. My VL was leaking fuel from the injectors, hoses and fuel pump.. And kept stalling. The last time I had it running it stalled every time I tried to accelerate. I pulled it apart to do injectors, and realized all the hoses are still original (they're all cracked) I know it's a big job...

Hey guys, I have a fuel pressure issue with a VX SS LS1 V8. Fuel pressure is low on the gauge when tested and as soon as the pump stops priming the fuel pressure drops rapidly. Is the pressure regulator next to the fuel pump in the tank or is it on the fuel rail on the passenger side of...

Gday All, Seems to be a problem with my sender unit in the tank, at 1/4 fuel level or lower I'm starved of fuel. It happens when the car is either parked passenger side down, accelerating (won't go above 3k rpm) or around a right hand corner. My workshop manuals are at home (Blackwater)...
