- VZ Maloo 6spd
It is not just an issue with VZ S utes. We have two one tonner VZ's in Ballarat and both have same problem as well as my personnal VZ S.
The only thing remarkably accurate about them is that they all show as empty with 0 kms left for distance to empty and they all only take about 47-50litres to fill.
The one tonner has a 68 litre tank the S pack a 70 litre tank.
Holden I am sure are very aware of this issue. The dealer I go to has admitted as much as well as the chap I know who is a mechanic for one of the dealers.
I'm going to see how my car goes over the weekend since the float arm adjustment and recalibration and I'll let you all know. So far the fuel gauge isnt doing its usual nose dive so It's looking positive.
On a brighter note the dealer was good enough to fix my front end noises (tighten some swaybar bolts), replace some balancer bolts as part of a recall... and order in a new spare wheel winch assembly as the ratchet was stuffed (i wasnt even aware of this), so they seem to have done a reasonably thorough check...
