Hi all im looking at doing some intirrior chamges in my ve commodore ive channged all the grey pillers plastics to black redone the roof lining in black and now i wanna change my iq screen and ac dials from the grey ones to the gloss black one i have a friend with a gloss black screen and dials...

So ive pulled it apart one chain is stretched by about a link it looks like compared to the other side chain im buying a new kit does anyone know what the oex kit from repco is like its about 700 but i can get it for 600 on my club card

The chains are genuine revised apparently thats what i was yold by the mechanic who did them in the 1st place ive bitten the bullet pulling it apart tomorrow gonna see how i go.

Well i swapped over the 4 cam sensors and andim only getting the 1 code now so im also wi dering if maybe the sensors are playing up ive ordered new one cause the sensors look quite ild and warn so im gonna swap them aswell see if that changes but any machenic ive spoken to they just seem to...

Yeah im like that too i spoke to the machenic today and he has now informed me that when he fixed the tensioner he didnt actually remove the chains he just zip tied them together pulled the tensioner out replaced it then cut the zip tie so im now convinced that its jumped a tooth so im gonna be...

If any of the chains have jumped a tooth wouldn't that cause the valves and pistons to colide ? Or atleast run crappy ?

The were replaced about a year and a half ago the tensioner went about 6 to 8 months after they were done i tried contacting the the machenic who did them i could not reach him he was a mobile machenic so i parked up the car for about 14 months then recently a mate of mine did the tensioner he...

Hi all i have a 2011 ve omega series 2 with the lfw engine in it i had my timing chains replaced about 5 6 thousand ks ago and then i had one of the tensioners go a few weeks ago and replaced it. Its been running really well then today i keep getting the 2 codes p0016 and p0018. I have a scan...

Sorted guys thanks for all your help was a wider rim checked all 4 of them 2 wider ones at the back the 2 narrow ones at the front dont really know why they would have swapped the front tyre around like that at a shop but atleast it is fixed now

You cant rotate the wheel at all but where it rubs it indicates right around the wheel not on the tyre at all just the rim itself i will get a picture of it and the rim did come off the car to get a new tyre fitted

That was another idea that ran threw my head is maybe 2 rims are made for the rear and 2 made for the front i havent heard of that before but that dont mean it isnt right i have a mechanic mate who is completely baffled himself to he has said that and is gonna come around today with a straight...

Th tyre size on all 4 rims are 245/40/R19 sorry i missed your post too so rewrote it

There 19s on the but only one rim is touching i swaoped the 2 fronts around originally the rim was touching the left front strut so i put the wheel from front right on the left and its not touching it but the rim from the left side is touching on the right side now so i cah only put it down to...

Have tripple checked tyre sizes all the same and the strut was replaced tonight with same outcome

Thats what im thinking to but wouldn't that show up when getting ballenced they never said anything about it being bucked or bent they just replaced the tyre ballenced it and i picked it up
