Good Mech with Alloytech knowledge in sydney?

[Boonz]

you sure its your injectors?
they are pretty well hidden under the intake manifold

Well im not a mech so i'm not sure. The sound is coming from the intake manifold area though, what else could it be?

 

[andyman]

they are usually mor prominent when the dress covers are removed

Yeah well i can hear them from a meter away from the car when the bonnet is open. Looks like im going to have to take it to Holden.... I guess i can tell them i don't want an apprentice working on my car.

no worries then, i wont go near your car if it comes near me then hehe:thumbsup:

Nah its just ive had bad experiences with previous cars where 1st year apprentices have worked on my car and i was not satisfied with the job. Im sure there are Apprentices that are very good but its a gamble lol.

it all comes down to the workers attitude and attention to detail, be it either apprentice or qualified, there are always people that just wont give a stuff, there is qualifieds that i know or work with, and id never let them touch my car, i always ensure i clean any greasy marks, wash down areas i work on when ive finished, and protect the painted area im working around, and it pays, ive had people come and thank me, and i occasionally get the odd cash job nowadays

 

[torana355]

Exactly, that's the reason i wanted to know a good reputable mech in the sydney area so i would not have to worry if there were workers there that did not give a crap.

just realised yours is an SV6, you can hear the intake runner butterflies chattering, they run a split length manifold which is controlled by whats called a VIM (variable intake manifold)amplifier
pretty sure you can have that deleted out of the tune (cos its not necessary anymore) with a reflash of the ECU, but your going to ahve to pay for it cos its out of warranty now which is the down part...
maybe look into getting a tune with VCM suite to make it go heaps better and get some better fuel economy too?

 

[torana355]

The VCM suite tune is booked in for tomorrow. I just wanted to sort the car out and make sure it was right to jump on the rollers. Yeah the sound is not really a injector sound but it sounds like it comes from the IM i guess your right . Cheers mate.

Why is the VIM no longer needed??
