Good afternoon all. I find myself in a bit of a problem. My car battery is completely flat and boot shut. No key hole in boot and as battery is flat I am unable to use glovebox or key forb button.

My 06 SS has become sluggish relactant to start and sometimes the electricals in the car just seem off. I had a look at the engerneering mode and found these. Are these numbers a little low or just strange for a non running or moving car ? Switch Voltage 4.3V Throttle Possition 19% Battery...

Everning all. Currently driving a 2006 VE SS and the car seems to be missing gears. I haven’t decided if it’s the auto box or if it’s something less serious. I’ll try to describe this as best I can. Driving home tonight using “Active Select” as always and shifting up gears was fine no slipping...

Good afternoon. Hopeing one of you all would have a solution for this problem. Had my windows tinted the other day gave the car a nice clean today to check no bubbles in tint and came across this. I have tried window polish, window cleaner, vinegar and even steel wool and dish soap. I don’t...

Ok I’ll try and explain this best I can.... In the last couple of days my car has picked up a “ticking sound” from the bottom of the engine (drivers side) It doesn’t do it on startup but after 5-10 minutes of driving it starts. At idle it has a constraint tick that gets faster as I accelerate...

Howdy. Picked myself up a 2006 VE SS about two weeks ago and have noticed two things that I can’t explain. Firstly they could both be gearbox or one might not be. When the car is started for the first time after sitting for a while I’ve found that when you shift from park to drive it takes about...

Good everning. Got my car a little over a year ago and decided tonight I’d try the whole “active select” thing. So started the car put it in gear slid the shifter to active select and .............. nothing. Nothing on dash, car would gear normally when driving and wouldn’t shift when I moved...

Hey all. Just wondering recently my 06 SV6 has had a bit of an exhaust upgrade (SS Mufflers and a set of pacemaker extractors) and I have been noticing water droplets and a sort of white hazy smoke coming from exhaust pipes after the car has been driven and turned off. Is this a sign of water...

Hey all. Have some serious sag in front bar and have found I’m missing the four things that hold it on to the splash guard. Only trouble I’m fining is what is used to attach them. I went to a wreckers and pulled four little screws out of another one but they don’t seem to fit. Car is a 2006 VE...

Just wondering it appears my battery in my 06 VE has not been changed for over 4 years and is slowly dying. A week earlier I brought a brand new battery for my 03 VY do both these cars run on the same one and can I swap them over or do I need a perticular one for the VE. Cheers

What is the part number or the name of the little rubber strips that sit on the outside of your windows to stop water going down into door. Not the solid garnish just the little rubber one that sits in between door and window. All mine seems to have vanished even the triangle window ones. :(...

howdy I’ll try and make this as simple as I can. Recently got an 2006 VE SV6 and today I couldn’t unlock the car with the remote. I thought it may have been key battery so I had it replaced today and checked with portable receiver and it worked. Now for the strange thing tried it on the car...

Hey all. Im trying to find a scan tool that can help me scan my car for errors and was hopeing someone could shed some light on the situation. As my car is diagnosed via a ALDL cord I’m finding it hard to find someone who would have one. Super cheap auto doesn’t even do cars running ALDL cables...

Hi there. Been trying to find a way to minimize the use of hose and clamps while installing my CAI. So far it has filter then clamped to a pipe then through to the MAF then a pipe to the throttle body. Some have told me that the MAF is better closer to the CAI or is this a bad idea. I always...
