just wondering, anyone else think the vy v6 is one of the slowest things on the planet?
we just purchased my dads vy s pac that he owned since new, one day the antenna extended and shot off......
the heater core started to leak foir no reason, its always had holdens bs coolant and servicing so no excuse why it should leak after 150,000ks.
so anyway my misses astra broke down so i siphoned the fuel out and put it in the vy, the vy ran like crap, so i decided to fill up with ultimate and runa a bottle of injector cleaner through the system, it went ok, purchased a 2.5 inch red back cat back (sounds completely different on a vy to the vt v6...) no change
cleaned and oild my k and n panel filter... no change
ripped out the plugs which were old and had a 1.6-1.8 gap, new plugs in with a .9 gap... no change
new bosch leads... no change
cleaned the maf... no change
cleaned the maf and put a brand new gmh paper panel filter in and cleaned all intake duct work... no change
lined up a ba falcon at the lights and had my arse handed to me, the astra had better take off then this pos, but 80-120 is the only bit of power band it has.
does anyone with a vy know or heard about vy v6 breathing oil?
i realise that it is a v6 but come on the astra honeslty took off faster then this, has anyone ran into this?
might change the fuel filter soon but had to buy these stupid tools that dont seem to work so see how i go, honestly not sure what holden as thinking when they made the vy
also the central locking system doesnt lock sometimes just honks at me and is driving me nuts.
