WARNING LS3 Recall about to happen

If you look at the previous link from sequal 3rd feb, their instructions to dealers look pretty simple to me. You just need a tool to get 2 screws out, rubber grease and a seal.

 

Thanks Over 60. Must have missed that post

 

By clicking on the service bulleting i linked a few posts up, look at what is involved and you should be able to decide yourself if the job is within your skill set

What's great about having access to service bulletins and recall notices containing real technical information is that owners can understand what is being done and thus ensure the dealer is doing the job correctly. Sadly the crap recall notices we have on the ACCC site are deviod of real technical information and service bulletins are unavailable within the australian market

Any chance you know where to buy a slim ratcheting driver that's required?
I had a Thousands of $$$ in tools...everything except that
PS. Sequal. Thank you for the PDF

 

The Service Bulletin indicates a small ratchet with a cut down phillips hex bit can be used until a specific tool is provided by Holden.

By all means, purchase such a limited use tool or simply look through your $$$ in tools for something you can MacGyver up
Heck, a cut down phillips hex bit with a washer welded half way up the bit and drop into a small ring spanner should do the job

 

@sequal just wondering how you went with the HVAC drain seal fixed and did the dealer/holden clean up all the mold and/or replace the carpets ?

 

I received no letter at all but when I rang the service dept they were happy enough to have the lifters and Hvac done, which supposedly has been done now. I hope they would have suggested to do it at the next service but odd that no letter was sent, let alone the free service offered to others.

 

Something like these? A mate found these in the US and bought 10 sets back, 2 for me.
Their brand name is Husky.

I like your way of thinking

 

Rockers and A/C grommet replaced today. Now to do some driving and get a few more kilometres on it. Happy Days!

 

It took a week to get it in to a dealer, and I called around all in the area, but it is all sorted. The seal is fixed and the carpet replaced.

After looking closely at it, it was much worse than it seemed.

 

Just on another issue, I have never had high performance 20 inch RE050A tyres before. Do they sound a bit like a bearing noise or should I get that looked too.

 

20" RE050A on my ute are rather noisy too, there are also some humming noise with the tyre slapping on the road. I doubt that they are bearing noise which will be very noticeable and so far there isn't any complaints from members on the VF2's wheel bearings. No harm to have yours looked at by the dealer.

 

Thanks it's probably tyre noise then. I'll get it looked at service

 

Yeah that's normal road noise for these.

 

Thanks

 

You can check if it is the tyres yourself.....Jack the front corner of the car up and spin the wheel, with your ear near the centre of the rim....If you hear a rumbling noise, the wheel bearing is gone....If you don't, it's the tyres

 

Took your advice and jacked it up. No bearing noise only slight rubbing of brake pad noise. Must just be the tyres. Thanks
