Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I couldn't get mine off but i did ask the question before i tried too hard to undo it the wrong way.Today i found out the hard way that the VS V6 tensioner pulley bolt is left hand thread. It made sense why it is after it snapped
Good work. Congrats mate.View attachment 203799View attachment 203801 Yay won best farm ute. Scored a really nice trophy and a pressure washer as prizes, plus some bragging rights. Funny thing was one of the judges is the local police officer.
V6 and V8 TPS are the same. I have 3 here, but have never had one go wrong. Strange that yours died so fast.So I have ordered a strut top mount from Rip-Every-Poor-C-Off and paid $73 (retail $91) and I only got it for that price because I have an RACT membership. Hate dealing with Repco but I had little choice as it would take a week for one to arrive from eBay. They used to only be about $70 from Holden but they are now discontinued. No idea what the mech will charge me to fit the mount hoping it's under $100. Then I have to figure out whether to spend $43 and buy a new TPS or whether mine can be saved. Either way the mech needs to take it off and clean it and see if it works or I just supply the new one and have him fit that and bin the old one. NFI if the Commodore TPS is something that can be repaired or if it just a throw away item. It's only two years old so spewin if I have to bin it.

Must be the price you pay for a prize winning show car aye.Mate I think it's the pressure washing I did yesterday that stuffed it. I have NFI if it can be taken off and blown out with low pressure compressed air or what. Or whether getting moisture in it has fucked it completely. If it happened on my way back to the country house could get it off and try some air on it to see. I may still but it will be revving at 3k the whole way.
