    [QLD] WTB: VE Wagon Aux Battery Bracket

    No longer looking.

    Factory dual battery

    Attached is the factory installation guide. This is for the sedan models. Unfortunately, the bracket I received will not fit in a wagon but the rest of the kit will, so I'm chasing bracket 92226583 if anyone can assist...

    Factory dual battery

    Factory kit includes an actual Redarc. I picked up the full factory kit including looms, bracket, box, fuse block etc for the same price as a Redarc by itself. Plus I do like a bit of originality.

    Factory dual battery

    That is what the Redarc isolator does. Once it sees sufficient volts from the crank/alternator side, it closes and charges the aux battery. When it sees those volts on the crank/alternator side drop off aka car is off, it opens and disconnects the two batteries protecting the crank battery from...

    Factory dual battery

    The glovebox manual? I would be super keen to see a workshop diagram etc of where the cables run e.g. next to the spare tyre etc to link the batteries together. Where the Redarc mounts to etc. I see the cable has clips so there must be holes in the chassis for it to clip into. Can't be bothered...

    Factory dual battery

    I have a NOCO GB40 in the boot always which I have luckily used at least 5+ times on cars NOT belonging to me. Was able to successfully crank an LS1 which had 3 volts in the crank battery. Would highly recommend.

    Factory dual battery

    No. I have a few toys that I want to move off the crank battery: Commercial UHF, VHF, Cel-Fi, Fridge etc etc. I have already upgraded the stock alternator to a genuine 120A alternator.

    How to replace VE V6 camshaft actuator?

    Cleared the coolant inlet by about 10mm. All good.

    How to replace VE V6 camshaft actuator?

    Passenger side upper looks blocked by the coolant fill point so it would not slide out all the way...

    How to replace VE V6 camshaft actuator?

    Digging up an old thread, please don't tell me the passenger side upper one is blocked by the coolant inlet/fill point? Passenger side lower looks blocked by the serp belt but that is an easy fix.

    Manifold PCV plastic barbs

    Followed this one: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/ve-vz-manifold-vacuum-ports.275815/ Worked well. Cut them in and used some Inox in the process so I didn't feel as guilty. Then backed them out to remove the alum filings/swarf and back in again.

    Manifold PCV plastic barbs

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can source the plastic barbs that push into the manifold for the PCV hoses? Or even a GM part number? Sample from eBay shown in attachments. My driver side has snapped off and left most of it inside the manifold. Assuming I'll need to remove the manifold and try...

    Aircon compressor rubber cap

    Hi, I noticed the rubber cap is breaking away on my aircon compressor. Is it required? It seems to be working fine without. Thanks.

    Clunk in front passenger side

    Touching on this again. Both struts were completely stuffed. Once removed I was able to slide the chromed ram in and out by hand and the bearing cases fell apart and went everywhere. Replacing both fixed alot of the handling and height issues but the clunk was still there. Noticed when...

    Clunk in front passenger side

    I have 168k on mine and I was surprised with the (good) condition that all of the joints/bearings/rubbers etc were in in all honesty.

    Clunk in front passenger side

    Yes I ordered the full kit 339154K & 339153K. I already have a set of spring compressors.

    Clunk in front passenger side

    Hi all, I've noticed a dull clunk coming from what I think is the front passenger side somewhere. I spent the last few hours this morning underneath looking at linkages, rubbers, bushes etc and the only suspect thing I can find is what appears to be a wet spot from something leaking out of the...

    Water leak - driver front door

    Yes it comes as a sheet and you cut it to fit.

    Water leak - driver front door

    I have already ordered a full kit for the future. I'll gladly cross the bridge of replacing the plastic in the future if I need access to the door cavity. Right now I'm just over the moon that I've stopped the leak!

    Water leak - driver front door

    After I removed the door card I could see the two places the water was getting in because of the aged factory butyl. I did not have time to source new butyl so I used Sikaflex to reseal the bottom which you can see by the (grey) Sikaflex. This worked. I have also ordered new weather seals. And I...

    Water leak - driver front door

    I assume the water is supposed to be caught by the butyl (instead of running through any gaps from degraded butyl) and then run through this hole (red circle) and out the standard drain holes? (This is someone elses photo).

    Water leak - driver front door

    Yes another water leak thread. I have 100% tracked it down to coming in between the door and the door card on the drivers front side. I have removed the bottom rubber and the drain holes are clear AND water also drains out the holes where the yellow clips hold the rubber in. If I run a hose on...

    Passenger side (smaller) wiper alum joiner

    Ended up using a 3mm joiner from Bunnings, fit a charm. https://www.bunnings.com.au/gcon-3mm-clear-tube-vinyl-fitting-start-connector-5-pack_p3130752

    Passenger side (smaller) wiper alum joiner

    Hi, Does anyone know the part number or suitable substitute for the small (appears to be) aluminum joiner that joins the passenger side (smaller) wiper with the hole in the cowling? Would probably be 10mm long and 2-3mm diameter. 2009 VE Wagon. Cheers.

    Alternator upgrade

    So as simple as removing the old and installing the new 120A version and everything fits directly back in as it did prior?

    Alternator upgrade

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if I upgrade from the standard to the 120A alternator if: 1. The engine cover will still fit? 2. I will need a different serp belt? 3. If the existing plug (RP19) on my standard size alternator will fit the 120A alternator? 4. Anything else I've forgotten? This is for a...

    Mounting sump guard

    Cheers that answers that! Do you use the proper nutsert tool or wind a bolt through them instead? I'm thinking as they are hexagonal they wouldn't spin so I could just tighten a bolt through them?

    Mounting sump guard

    Does anyone have any knowledge as to how the sump guard is mounted on models that do not have a factory fitted sump guard and only the hexagonal holes in the K-frame? I have purchased a sump guard plus the 4x genuine nut inserts and bolts however the nut inserts slip easily into the hexagonal...

    Check engine light at hot idle

    I think I found the issue - the purge hose was split and had come away from the throttle body. Replaced and time will tell. Also cleared codes: 44 Lean Exhaust 64 Left Side O2 Lean 92 Fan Communication Failure

    Check engine light at hot idle

    I have the check engine light come on when the car is at a hot idle and go away once you take off. This repeats each time the car is idling and hot. But not when it is idling cold (e.g. just started). If you gently rev the car at hot idle, the check engine light does not come on (only tried this...
