Might sound abit weird but when I am braking and I get to a certain brake point (between 20-30km/h slowing down before coming to a complete stop) I can hear my fan cut out for a split sec (like it has a hiccup), only to come back on but then the AC doesnt blow cold air, its just warm. When I...

Warning long post: looking for advice: So I am looking for a VT SS with the Aussie 5L not fussed if its auto or man but it needs to be in reasonable condition and must be original, not modified. I went and inspected one last week, 1999 model (so must be towards the end of the Aussies 5L...

MY16 Sportwagon my drivers arm has decided to park itself in different positions and not always the same spot as my two other VF, it’s kinda annoying. I have taken off wiper arm and repositioned but that hasn’t seem to have worked. It almost seems when traveling at high speed say 80km/h and...

Noticed something strange yesterday morning on cold start, was 12 degrees and the engine holds the revs a little higher when cold (like the auto choke on old cars) normally after 4-5min of driving the revs will settle just above the 500rpm mark (must be 600 or 650rpm) , but for some reason they...

My VS over time has developed a longer crank on start up and if I do a restart of the car once moved out of the garage and engine still cold it kinda splutters back to life. (Second video kinda shows it) I can hear fuel pump prime and have no issues with power or start up or restart when engine...

Hi, is someone with an Executive or S Pak automatic able to post a photo or tell me the codes that are printed on their ECU? I changed my ECU some time ago in my Series 1 VS S Pak Automatic and was never really pleased with how the car started and idled on cold start. I remember from memory...

Contacted my dealer wanting to have MyLink and Maps updated on my MY16 Calais V so it's the same as my MY17 Motorsport as I miss having the fixed speed camera alert come up and they advised that as these systems are getting old they try and steer clear of updating MyLink because it crashes...

Recently purchased another VF to add to my collection, a MY16 Calais V Sportwagon. Nice car just a few things that I don’t like, one being the brakes (discussed this in another thread) the next thing is the sound system. No bass and sounds pretty bland compared to the BOSE in my Redline sedan. I...

As the title mention I have developed a creak in the top part of my dash and its driving me insane. I believe it may have stemmed from when the dealer replaced my steering column lock module as they were whacking the steering column pretty hard with a hammer to break these special bolts that...

So I changed my trans fluid and diff oil on the weekend and thought I would share the info here with anyone else who is keen to do this themselves rather than a dealership. My car has done 20,000KM but as I have done a few track days and felt my gear shift was abit notchy it was time to change...

I own a MY17 Motorsport manual and recently I have been having issues with the reversing camera, it seems to work when it wants to and other times works fine. the issue is when selecting reverse, the screen will start to flicker, the picture goes distorted and then eventually you get a grey...

So I think I may have an issue with my Steering Column Lock Control module and wanting to know if other have experienced the same as me. I have never received a warning message in the center screen and there are no codes showing on the computer the vehicle is a 2017 VFII Motorsport Edition...

As the title reads, where about would I find the AC Pressure sensor on a VZ V8. Trying to diagnosis a problem I have.

It seems the thermo fans come on very early in my 5.7L VZ, I can go for a driver around the block and pull back up in my driveway 5 mins later and the fans are blaring. I open the hood and there is cold air being pushed out, it aint even hot air. Engine temp gauge shows to be in the same spot...

Hi, I read somewhere that it might be hard to change fluids on a few things on the VF without having the proper tools that a dealer has? I am wanting to drop and replace with fresh fluids dif trans clutch is this straight forward stuff or hard to do? Or just take to a Holden dealer to do?

Does anyone have info on MyLink Part Numbers and software versions for Holden/HSV? I am looking at putting a CD player in my Series 2 VF with the option of having EDI. I have been searching and noticed each MyLink screen has a different part numbers and software version. Before I purchase one I...

I have a factory fitted Dayton VDO system in my VZ which is not working very well. About 3 years ago I was mucking around with it because the aerial must of **** itself and it wasn’t working and somehow I managed to get a new aerial for it. At the same time I stumbled across some information...

recently bought a W310 intake with the pod filter, but I can’t find anywhere on how to clean service these things. Do you buy a K&N pod filter clean kit? I’ve read something about washing it from the inside out and then applying a thin coat of oil to the outside?

Does anyone know when removing a VF steering wheel and putting a new one on, if you can fit it incorrectly or it only goes on one way? I noticed there are 3 distinct keys which I think stop you putting your steering wheel on incorrectly on the shaft and you line them up with the ones on the...

Does anyone on here own one of the HSV LS3 Limited Editions? that being the Black Edition or the Track Edition? Needing a favour.

I thought I would start a thread on my new Motorsport Edition Commodore which is currently getting built, it came out of paint shop today 17/5/17. I did a thread on my MY16 Jungle Fever SSV Redline back in 2016, which people seemed to enjoy. So I thought I would do another one, I hope you guys...

so I used to use photobucket to load images onto the forum, but now that photobucket website is full of bugs and never works properly. Is there another good site where I can load photos up to and then paste the link so they display properly on the forums? Cheers

Thought I would start this thread for those of us purchasing or thinking about purchasing one of the 3 limited edition models, so that we can compare prices and help each other out, as word is some dealers are charging a lot for DD because they are limited editions. (There is a separate thread...

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this. When I leave my car unlocked and bonnet up for more than an hour when cleaning, or doing other stuff, when I go to close the bonnet and press lock on the remote, I get 2 chirps and find that my car has already locked itself. I dont have...

I've noticed something when starting up my VF2 Manual Redline and wanted to ask other LS3 owners. On cold start up (so at least 8 hours before I lasted started the vehicle) the vehicle seems to start straight away within 1-2 cranks and the cranks sound like they have some good power behind them...

My Redline is just under 3 weeks from getting built. I thought I would share some stuff and experience on my car and how I got here. I hope you guys enjoy my posts.

I just bought myself a new car which is a factory order. Im sure I read somewhere here on the forum in a thread that people who have their cars to order get updates sent to them about how their car is progressing through the build process at HVO and when they should expect it to reach their...

Freshly Delivered Jungle Green. Built yesterday 23/6 and delivered this morning 24/6 on the truck. The pros of living in Adelaide.

So I came across this. Surely this is not acceptable? Anyone else with a factory black roof put on roof racks and find this when taking off the covers?

I'm after the shark fin aerial that is fitted to the Chevy SS. Im not interested in the bee sting type that everyone else has, I want the type that is fitted to the chevy. I have tried Holden Parts but as that is not on the parts list for Australia I am unable to buy it from them. So...

Thought I would start a thread where people can share their wait times on their orders. It seems there is a lot of difference on how long you have to wait depending on what you have ordered and what options are on the car. I found this post on another discussion page and this guy had this to...

Hi hoping someone might be able to help (hope I have posted this in the right section), I'm chasing a Holden Factory Validation Decal (period 2005) as seen in picture below. They were normally affixed to the front window of cars heading down the production line. Along with other decals which...

is there a difference between the LS3 HSV Headers & Cats and the LS3 Holden Headers & Cats? Can I fit the LS3 HSV Headers & Cats onto the Holden LS3? Thanks in advance

Hey guys just looking for some advice, the answer is right on the tip of my tongue but I just cant think what it might be. Have had my VS V6 for 10 years bought it with 69 on the clock and it is now just at 169. About 6 months ago I got the rear main seal down on the engine along with the big...

as the title suggests Im after an VY OEM Battery for display purposes for my vehicle, so would not be fussed if it was flat, empty or not working but would prefer it to be in reasonable condition. the batteries were made and supplied by exide batteries at Elizabeth and would have been also...

Does anyone know if and where you can purchase centre console buttons from? Its similar to the T/C or Phone button which sit near the centre console arm rest. Im looking at making my own button and thought i read somewhere you can buy blank ones and get some one to put an image on for you. I...

I’m currently in the market for a VZ Calais, I nearly bought one the other day until the sales guy stuffed me around said the deal was done the car was mine only to ring back 10mins later to say sorry it was bought by someone else, long story he’s a wanker. Anyway I need some info or a link...

Hi I’m having a problem with my aerial module! The problem is when I turn the car off or the radio off the aerial goes down fine like it should. But when I turn the radio back on or turn the acc back on the aerial goes up only about 4cm then it stops. I hear like a clicking noise coming from the...

Hey looking for some info regarding a stock H/U. I currently have a standard H/U If I put in an electric aerial will it still function properly like a Calais one? As in the aerial will go up and down when the radio is switched on/off and when I use my CD input? Second question if I purchase a...
