Vy ls1 s2
Hi guys,
since picking up my vy S2 S in july 2004, brand spanking from the factory, (had factory sunroof and lsd ordered and also cosmo paint, which dealer had no floor stock) i've only had a problem with the front passenger actuator and now a squeaking when engine is cold. i've been told though that the squeaking is most likely due to the cold weather. i think it could be that, or maybe the idller pulley. is anyone else having the same problem?
I have same car car
shouldn't make squeaking noise I lived in Canberra I had same noise turned out to be fan belt after I got told to change the idler pulley which I did but squeak still there so used a belt grip spray lasted two weeks squeak came back so changed belt and ac belt no noise but have been told check harmonic balancer as well

VT Equipe, VY Acclaim Wagon
Guys I hate to do this as I know how much I hate it on fora I admin but I need to look at a VY tomorrow and I know bugger all about them. It's a V6 VY wagon with low KMs (107,000) what do I look for? I'm not worried about little stuff like ball joints, bushes and the like but what big-ticket items are on the list of stuff I should pay attention to?

Me? really well, beat him down to a grand for a nice wagon, couldn't be happier. One little clunk in the front that will be a tierod end (I'll do it next week) and I had to fix a couple of p=spots of rust (nothing thru the steel) and it drives great and everything works. I'll post some pics in a sec, busy with some FB stuff for work and I need to pull them off the phone.

vy holden
My old man bought a VY auto a few weeks ago, and the only problem he has is the shudder in the steering. Any ideas on what it is exactly and how to fix it ourselves?? Thanx!
hey mate could be the front rotors not extremely hard to fix
