I have the software on elmstreet OBD 11 which I bought 3 years ago for my vy ss ls1 , now I have a ve Calais 2012 series 2 with the SIDI 3:6 motor . can I use the above for the Calais diagnostics. I have all the ve fault codes , I bought a Haynes workshop manual for ve and vf. Thanks for any help.

I like using a 10-40 grade semi synthetic diesel , good brand like Penrite , Repco. some people like using Castrol Edge 10-60 for high performance or high revs such as drag racing, burnouts, drifting where the oil has more viscosity at high revs and temps.

99% sure it will be faulty ABS MODULE , I had the same displays come up on my instrument panel on my vy ss last year . I ended up getting my ABS module repaired by INJECTRONICS in Melbourne . Ring them for a quote . mine now has been fine for 20 months.

I done the throttlebody coolant bypass last Monday , I found it was easier to do by removing the throttlebody first. I removed the elbow shaped hose from the passenger side of throttlebody , then I took the hose off the drivers side of T- body secured it to the nozzle on the engine on the...

I use Penrite semi synthetic 10 / 40 diesel oil in my ls1, a lot of holden Adventra ls1 owners use it and recommend it.

yeah I had the same problems as you on my vy ss last year , was faulty ABS module . got the module repaired by a company in Victoria , I think " INJECTRONICS " cost $ 600 .

thanks Fu Manchu , I think he should put in an aftermarket unit in and just keep the old factory one in case he wants to sell the car. thanks again for reply.

can anyone please advise .

friend has ve sv6 2010 model with factory head unit , unit has an aux port only. no USB port . my question is what is the simplist way to be able to play MP3 music from a flash drive stick that has the mp3 music files on it ? thanks for any help , is appreciated.

Did you find out what that noise was ? sounded like the harmonic balancer was stuffed.

there is a really good Adventra and Holden all wheel drive forum on facebook which has a wealth of information from dedicated owners , great forum for 4Wd Holden owners.

All you can really use is a fairly small shifter spanner , maybe 150 mm long that makes it easier to access the fitting . another idea is to carefully file an open end 18mm spanner to fit the fitting.
