Matt's ZB RS-V wagon long term review

I totally agree but unfortunately it is the “axle that squeaks the loudest gets the grease”.
I am 1k off my 24k service and have already called in my warranty issues.

 

On 47 K now, conti Sport contact 5 still have 40% thread. Btw, I am getting 6.7l/100 on fuel consumption on my diesel zb calais now; probably due to smoother traffic.

 

That’s very good tyre mileage!! Mine is a V6 and will be lucky to get 30k. The Diesels must be kind on the rubber.

 

I bought my Rsv from Holden in Sept 19 with 1500km on the clock for around 50k.
I was told it's a blackout edition,does anyone know more about these models?

 

As far as I know from looking at one and talking to a salesman some time back, Holden stuck black rims, blacked out some external trims and put some black edition stickers and badges on otherwise stock cars. It was an attempt to generate some interest.

 

I've seen blacked out VFs around so it's not unique to the ZB.

 

Correct. Only with ZB it's not limited to one variant (VF SV6) and you don't get any extra kit or blacked out trim inside like you did with VF.
I think too the rims are picked and put on by the dealer, so no standard Holden branded rims across the range.

The one I saw was a white RS. Definitely looked better than standard and was the same price.

 

For anyone that's interested I have just had my 24k service and a new fuel sender is now on back order to be replaced under warranty.

 

No issues. I fill it up and it says its full on the gauge.

I am really looking forward to a decent drive when the lockdown finally ends.

 

Same! 24k service done and new fuel sender now fitted under warranty.. Reads full! Great car love it.
