cheers corhijasna, going to be stripping the berlina down and swapping out most of the looms to suit so the sedan gets the climate control and cruise control as well. still not sure which way I wanna go with the gearbox whether I stick with the auto or drop a manual in considering everything is...

Hi everyone, been a while since I have been on here, but thought I would throw up a quick post with my new project I am starting to get organised to start sometime in the near future. So our VX ecotec has just hit 465000km, and even though it is still going strong, (and we drive it hard, like we...

Has your power steering cooler split open or rusted through and leaking oil all over your nice white driveway??? Well maybe it is time to replace it. I priced up the replacement from the Holden near me and they wanted $69.95 for the standard replacement cooler, but autopro sold an aftermarket...

i think i know what noise you mean it only happens when in gear and foot on the brake, it is like a vibration ticking noise. i have noticed it on other ecotec's as well. I think it has something to do with the harmonic balancer when under load, like foot on brake while in gear, my vxII hit...

hi all I have a 2002 VXII v6 auto with 350000km's. I have had a problem recently with the car idle speed fluctuating between 500rpm and 800rpm and occaisionaly when you brake at high speed the engine will stall and have to pull over and start it again, and sometimes have to punch the...

This morning when i started my vx V6 to go to work it backfired as soon as the engine turned over, and everytime i have started it since today it backfires, was wondering if anyone has some ideas as to what it might be. There is no loss of power while driving and engine idles the same as it...

i think mine is a 79deg thermostat. i replaced it when i blew my last radiator. i bought a brand new 135kpa cap when i bought the new radiator and the mechanic also flushed my system 3 times for me just to get all the **** out and pressure tested it when he put it all in for me. I just drive it...

was wondering if anyone had any ideas why the a/c pump on my VX II v6 wont activate, when i push the button the light comes on and the thermo fans kick in, but the pump doesnt activate. It started 6 months ago as an intermittent problem, just wouldnt kick in every now and again so i got the...

if it does have a thermostat it could just have a low temp thermostat in it. I have a low temp thermostat in mine and the only time it goes above the frist line is when i am stuck in traffic, and on a cold morning it can take up to 20mins before the needle starts moving. good luck with it.

if the coupling you got is the one i am looknig for how much would you want for it???

try putting the key into the ignition and turning it to the on positions and pressing the lock button for a few seconds, it should re-sync the key and the computer of the car. i have to do it to mine at least once every couple of months cause it wont unlock all the doors. hope that helps.

no chance, they are completely different, sorry dude
