To anyone looking at purchasing, keep an eye out for your rear diff... I had VXR for 3 months and had nothing but issues. and the final straw was the diff covered in oil. Dealer was great to deal with but I had no faith in the vehicle so I returned it. Genuinely disappointed because it was an...

Went to service mine and found this mess at the rear diff. Brought the car 3 months ago the company gave it a new wof for me. Think this has happened in three months?

Thread revival, 80t Kms I'm joining the read diff leaking club... Went to service mine and found this mess. Brought the car 3 months ago and it had a new WOF - reckon it was showing then?

So on talking to another dealer they told me that for the rear diff they use any high quality GL-5 75w90 with LS And for the PTU they said the same GL-5 75w90 without LS would be fine... However finding one without LS seems difficult.

RDU? What was your car recalled for? I got some part numbers from my local dealer... 93165388 for the diff approx $70 NZD 19419206 for the PTU approx $500 NZD Yeah... Not sure what the story is with the PTU oil price, I've read a few stories of these both being dramatic on what oil they take -...

I asked my dealer today who told me that they haven't actually done it before for a VXR and couldn't tell me what fluids were being used - they would look into it for me. I have checked out the Buick forums and there's a mixed bag of answers. Just wondered if anyone here has done theirs and...

Yeah it seems like the Buick regal lads have access but the issue is maps for Australia/NZ don't seem to be available... Apparently a USB update that is hard coded to a cars vin when accessed so it can't be reused on any other vehicles etc.

I've normally got torque/poweramp running on my headunit but I do like the factory nav for the speed signage on the HUD and dash (not quite speed sign recognition) sadly some roads are reduced speed now so it'll show 100 but it should be 80 etc... Sold my aa wireless and got a carlinkit to run...

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm expecting but perhaps someone has worked out who supplies the OEM maps that can be purchased independently of dealers? Pretty sad that they didn't enable a way for users to update the maps for the last people who actually brought their vehicles.

Yep another GPS thread... Wondered if anyone has managed to update it even have a dealer update their GPS maps? Yes I know I can use carplay/aa but I like the OEM integration with the HUD and displaying road speed limits on the dash etc. Red needle VXR 2018 for additional info Cheers

I would have thought since you reached out to your dealer with proof and made them aware than they should honour it... I would go in and request someone take a look at minimum to get coverage for warranty then book in for proper diagnostics. Take a video and pictures as proof asap incase they...

I use an obdlink mx and have used it for about 5 years and it works great. I brought a carlinkit device that connects to applecarplay and turns your cars display into a fully functioning android tablet. My car displays torque for all my gauges and has Poweramp playing music in the background...

Haha yeah would be easier to list the features they DON'T have I had sold my RS and had a Ute for a year and missed it all so came back to the dark side, got rid of it and and got a VXR

To answer my own question, I noticed my windscreen had been replaced and guessed the light sensor may have been roughed up. Yup that was the culprit - replaced now my headlights function as expected... Drl during day, auto on headlights at night.

Couldn't find any related fuses but I ended up finding this video here which guides for removing and cleaning the sensor Disconnected my battery (to reset incase that was any help) Followed the guide and found something interesting.... My sensor was attached like normal but also siliconed to...

It is raining quite heavily, they refused to work no matter what setting I tried (cycling the setting on/off etc) second up of the stalk and the wipers work as usual or if I turn off auto wipers (headunit settings) first up of the wiper stalk then functions as a car without auto wipers would

Interestingly my automatic wipers also don't function, setting is enabled on the headunit and my Speedo says I've activated them when I use the stalk but wipers don't move on auto unless I up the stalk more past intermittent. Any idea what fuse or relay I could check? Seeing as the lights and...

I guess I'm just paranoid about having my lights fail from running whenever the car is haha would be an expensive fix. I must be missing something cause surely they wouldn't have them running the whole time auto lights was on since most people would. Guess I'll see if my local Holden dealer has...

Hmmm haven't got a dash mat or anything near the sensor and can confirm it was on auto lighting, gave the window a clean inside and out and wiped the sensor so will see if there's any difference tomorrow but so far since I brought it a couple of days ago the low beams have been on constantly...

Yup that resolved my issue, thank you again. Perhaps you have an idea on my other lighting question haha... For some reason whenever I enable automatic lights with the VXR, it turns it's low beams on during the day aswell. With my old RS on automatic lights it would just be the DRL and then turn...

Might seem like a stupid question but when I have my lights set to automatic on my VXR, low beam is always on too. In my old RS if I left automatic headlights set to on, it would only be DRL LEDs on and would turn the lowbeams on/off as needed... Any thoughts/am I missing something? Or is this...

Thanks man I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm driving, only just brought it and wow there's alot more settings to play with than my old RS haha. Had a Ute in-between and missed my Holden... Glad to see you're still lurking these forums

Just wondered if you ever managed to get your led door strips to work like normal again? My old RS the led strips worked whenever the lights were on but my new VRX the led strips only turn on when the doors are open/closed. They are off at night time when my lights are on driving around etc and...

I used AAW dongle since the first few batches were released and it's worked great - however I loved using custom apps via Android auto too and the custom gauges started getting hard to keep working correctly... I ended up ordering a dongle from AliExpress called carlinkit. It's an android box...

The moment it has a cold air intake on it, the turbo gets pretty loud. Mine sure did

Yeah I'll compare my set that I brought to the ones that 87 posted and see if the rears are a different profile, looks strange just having the front haha. I'll report back in the next few days

Hmmm the shape must be different cause my set didn't fit :( if you happen to have time to link the ones you brought I could compare? Appreciate the response anyways man

Hi all, anyone had luck purchasing a set that fits online? I brought a set of four from AliExpress but only the fronts fit and it looks a little... Incomplete. Even having the Holden part number for the RS may help, my dealers don't like giving out part numbers Cheers

Not even sure if they fit yet, just cheap generics from AliExpress. There's a few different sizes for the Holden's fluid pipe so I'll find an area somewhere

I'm amazed they didn't include these stock as they did with the Buick regals - definitely one of my favourite mods so far... I've also ordered a few one way valves so I have instant water when I use my wipers too

AAwireless will have long term ongoing support and new features plus mods for rooted devices. Hands down the one to go for

I guess I'm annoyed that this is even a thing - all my previous cars were Toyota's and when using them would spray instantly so I got use to it. 20 year old cars had this right haha. Ahwell atleast I know it's the "norm" thank you for taking the time to post

Could be, once Google realease their official "coolwalk" android auto I'd say a few things may change. Perhaps there will end up being an app that can turn a dummy phone into a similar device that gets left plugged in and becomes a mirror/aawireless host

Thanks for that, same with mine. Asked today when picking up my car and yeah they just confirmed it's cause the water drains back in-between squirts so I guess I'll look at putting a one way valve near the bonnet hinge

Sounds good, would be interesting to see it in use. I'm running aawireless using their device and even though it's well built and highly supported through development forums there's still a few issues. I'd hate to think of how many issues something like this has haha

No worries, cheers for that. I'll ask my dealership tomorrow to see of they know but guessing they'll have no idea and have no other ZBs to check

I guess I use mine maybe once a week because using them = needing to clean my car to remove the streaks. I'm thinking of adding a non return valve at the hinges on the bonnet to try and reduce the delay

Appreciated, if I use mine it takes maybe 1-2 seconds before water comes out and annoys the sh!t out of me cause it makes a mess on the windows and damages wipers

A question to those frequenting here... When trying to clean your window, if you pull the trigger to activate the sprayers - do yours come on instantly or after a wipe or two of the wipers? It seems like our cars needs a non return valve installed to stop the water returning to the resovoir

No worries, yeah I avoid eBay's GSP like the plaque but unfortunately no one had these sprayers for a reasonable price all up. I even tried going through my dealer here and got told they couldn't access them. Tried to sell me other jet style units assuring me that they were what I needed...
