WARNING LS3 Recall about to happen

[SSV 407]

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

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!

@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 ?

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.

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
