Couldn't find anything on here or anywhere online, so posting to maybe help someone else! VY steering wheels do not fit straight onto VZ, as some selling them may tell you. Had to switch out the wiring looms for the stereo controls as they were SLIGHTLY different (enough to not work)...

Hey guys, my electric windows in my 05 vz ss have recently stopped working, when I press the button to go down it only makes a clicking sound. Just wanna know what it could be. Cheers.

Hi all. I have a 2004 VZ Berlina and it has a climate control centre dash with the flip lid bun compartment. Problem is I’ve purchased the binnacle gauges to replace the blank plate at top centre of dashboard and the gauge cluster does not work with the flip lid set up. I need the non climate...

Having so much trouble getting my head unit out. Can't seem to find any screws to make it budge, besides the tiny ones that are internal and backwards! Taken three screws from beneath the bottom trim, but no use. What do I do?

Found this great video showing the assembly process of the Alloytec engine. Might help someone. This one is twin turbo, but you get the idea. If only they put a twin turbo 3.6ltr in a Commodore. (Yeah, I know what I'm saying).

Found this juicy nugget of info. So timing chains may not always be why timing is incorrect. Movement of the tone wheel can be a problem. Of course, it means the engine is pretty much fkd. Have to replace the crank...

I've been having issues with my commodore VZ 2005 over the last few weeks. Used these forums a few times. Turns out it was a faulty fuel injector. I made a youtube of replacing the injectors in Commodore VZ Acclaim 2005 Alloytec (170kw?). Im no expert so bear with it if you need to do it. It...

Hello all, I've been diving deep into this forum over the past few days trying to look for some kind of answer, but I'm still not 100% sure. I bought a really cheap 04 auto VZ executive last week, and was told it needed a new starter and then it would run fine. Changed starter and still...

So I think the timing chains have **** themselves on my VZ, I'm in the process of removing the pulleys and the balancer, but I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong. How am I supposed to crack the bolt on the balancer? I know there's a special locking tool to get it done, but I can't justify...

I'm having this issue Occasionally my car is starting to over heat when parked and engin running for more than a few minutes.. The car dose not seem to be loosing any coolant. And Iv never seen it start to spike up on the temp gauge when I have been driving, it's only started when I'm parked up...

I bought my VZ in Feb and it only came with one key. I purchased a new key fob off ebay as i was worried the battery in the existing remote would go flat and i would be stuck having to spend a lot getting it sorted. I programmed the new fob using instructions from Mr Minit and it was fully...

Hi all, I have tried to find an answer elsewhere without luck. I have a 2005 VZ Commodore Acclaim. In recent times I have had a problem with the lock on the rear passenger side door. The first time the issue happened, I locked the car and the alarm went off. The reason for this was that...

Hi guys, i'm 15 and my dad sold me this car for a grand and it had only done 78,000km. I was wondering how I could make it louder and less suzuki swifty with it still being legal! thanks :)

I was driving and out of no where the check power train appeared then the safety mode came on, I took it to the nearest mechanic and had it scanned the mechanic said it appeared to have no major problems but couldn't work out what has going on after an hour or so the only answer was that when my...

So the story goes like this. My ex-housemate smashed up his VZ commodore just before moving out. After having it sit on my lawn unmovable for the next 2 months I decided that in an effort to do something with it and make an attempt to emancipate my ex-housemate from my life completely, I bought...

So my VZ wouldn't run this morning. At first I thought it was being funny because of the cold weather but it just wouldnt run. It would idle if i held the key in the crank position but as soon as I let the key go back to run it would cut out. I tried this a few times, but couldnt get it working...
