I honestly haven't had a chance to get back out there to take it for a drive around the block. But I'm hoping tomorrow I will. Just never seems to be enough hours in the day. As for the wiper motor, I think I tossed the old one before moving across aus. And the one I had bought, disappeared...

Hey y'all. My rear wiper motor died a couple years ago on my 2000 VX commodore. I didn't realise there was more then 1 sort for the vx. I bought one and it didn't fit. Now I've been told there's centred or off centred? I literally have no clue how to work out what one I need without spending...

Haven't had a chance to look at the car again. Single mum life doesn't leave much time lol. Thankyou for all the advice and tips. But I will update you hopefully tomorrow, I so badly need my car back on the road

I will fully check it out tomorrow in the daylight, but the car started after changing the battery. It's quite confusing though because it was reading that it was fully charged and didn't throw an error code for it. I'm really hoping this will be the issue, and nothing more. But thankyou so...

I totally forgot about that to be honest. The other thread I mean. It's been one of those weeks where you just want to pull your hair out lol. But I just took all fuses out and replaced them just in case. But none were blown.

I actually bought a brand new battery the other day because I thought it might be the issue.. but I haven't put it in yet because I thought about all the issues and suspected the ECU. But I've just removed all fuses and replaced them. None of them were blown

So, something odd, or maybe not. The scanner is showing no error codes. There is no power coming from the battery unless the jump pack is connected, and even with it connected the jump pack itself was drained. Using the obd2 reader we tried for live data readings and received no codes...

Haha no, I was meaning my owners manual. I'm about to hook the scanner up now to see if I get the code

Oh I hope I have it still. A lot of things got misplaced during the move from W.A to NSW. If I can't find it, is there another way?

The one in the picture is my daughter in-laws. But I also have an ALDL.

I was hoping it was as simple as replacing the ECU What sort of scanner do I need? I have an OBD2 scanner if that helps. At the moment I can't even drive my car. It doesn't start or even crank since I accidentally put the positive on negative and vice versa, and the battery sparked. It starts...

Hey.. So I'm replacing the ECU in my 2000 VX commodore. I've already sussed out the right one by the code on the side of the one already in it. My issue is that, I messaged the commodore shop and their telling me I need to replace the BCM as well? But yet everywhere I've looked, it's said that I...

Hey y'all. Ok, I really messed up. When I was sick, I stupidly connected positive lead to negative and vice versa. It sparked. But I didn't think much of it because I changed them back how they are supposed to be. Well it looks like I wasn't lucky and I've caused an electrical issue. I took my...

I know this is probably something that's been discussed before, BUT I've google searched and my head just hurts haha. My dumb@ss cut the original connector off the car wiring harness for the stereo. I can't for the life of me, work out where the rest of the wires go. This one has 2×8 slot...

You are an absolute freaking LEGEND!!! I was freaking out thinking it was going to cost a fortune to fix, and I'd have to let someone I don't know, work on my car haha. all fixed now!!

So I bought a new filter with clips. A sakura. It's all fits perfectly . But now the clips refuse to stay gripped to the filter. I'm thinking I may need to replace the lines that go to the filter. Is it true that both lines come from the fuel pump? Or am I reading thr diagram wrong?

Happy new year y'all. So I landed myself in hospital in December with a broken ankle. While I was in there, my fuel pump stopped working while being left in the garage for nearly 3 weeks. My uncle (Ford Owner) came to fix my car, Replaced the pump and in the process he's snapped the clips...

Passengers side is cracked right around. Drivers side is half cracked. I'm really hoping this is all the issue I can afford to replace them lol

I know I had a lot of parts replaced before I left W.A. but I have a suspicion Tie Rod end wasn't one of them. Hmm I will have to get under the car tomorrow and check everything. Thankyou Darn cars always have an issue when you need it the most lol.

I have just recently done the long drive from W.A to NSW with no issues with my car. But in the past week, after driving down a stupid unpaved road, I accidentally hit a couple unavoidable potholes.. since then I have had a pretty strong wobble in the steering and pulling to the right. I thought...

Are you doing the work yourself? Or mechanic?

Pretty sure the CAS never would've been replaced before I bought the car. When I got it (dodgy car-yard), they said it had been serviced. A month later it started playing up so I decided to check the plugs and what not. The state of the plugs looked like they hadn't been changed for a few years...

Oh, yeah I forgot (thanks for the reminder), I replaced all 3 coils. Had the dfi tested to make sure that was ok. It passed. I'll have to check all connections on the weekend. I just want to be able to drive it again lol. Then take the VY off the road..finally So many people have asked why I...

So, I got the check engine light to go.. thankfully... Now I'm trying to weed out why it runs rough and stalls while driving... Since I took my car off the road I've replaced the Radiator, Battery, oil, oil filter, starter motor, spark plugs and leads, fuel filter, fuel injectors, inlet manifold...

Sooooo.. I took the adapter.. spacer thing off the VY just to check if that's been my issue.. I need a good slap upside the head haha.. that's been the issue this whole time. As soon as I turned the key, the check engine light went away, and the car idled properly.. I took it for a drive around...

Soooo .... I've been messaging my cousin in NSW about what's been happening with my car. I might have figured the issue. Well I'm hoping I have. I think that about 8 months ago when I was trying to get my VY working, I took the TPS off my vx and put it on that.. I have a suspicion that I lost...

Fuel filter was changed about 2 months ago. And about 6 months before that as well

I will get out there and check all fuses and relays on the weekend. I will also chuck some fuel in it. Really hoping this issue will just go. But I won't hold my breath haha

Haha I look like a total dick now. The mechanic didn't connect the MAF wiring back up. But now the only error it's showing is the TPS

It's got fuel tho

How do I fix that? I've replaced the TPS and IAC. This car has got me feeling like headbutting a wall hahaha

This is probably the best way to show what's happening. I don't want to go paying this mechanic any more money if it's something I can fix myself haha

So.. I haven't been able to get my laptop and the cable to co-operate. So I ended up bridging 5 & 6. I've tried looking up what the code is but I've had no luck. It flashed 10 1 2 2 . And just kept repeating it. Would anyone have a clue what it is?

Cheers for that. I just ordered one Hopefully it'll save me $$ from bs repairs haha

Would you know which Obd port is in 2000 Vx Commodore? Obd1 or OBD2? I'm thinking of buying a scanner so I can hopefully clear the code. I've also got a 2003 VY V6 with an SRS fault code too

No I haven't. I'll have to give it a go on the weekend. Cheers Sorry for bugging you all, I just want this damn car on the road haha

Hey.. ok.. I have another issue Thought the car was ready to go over for a blue slip, BUT the car has decided to show this lightWhich is doing my head in now. Admittedly my battery isn't 100% charged and the car hasn't been on a drive for nearly a year. The alternator, coils and starter motor...
