In the radiator cap, I’ve done it without one and it’s done nothing

I’ve had overheating issues in my ve for a few weeks and I used a funnel and adaptor to fill my system, I had the heater on and whilst it was heating up at one point it started making a loud squeaking noise and then the funnel started filling up and started actually boiling over and going...

Oh alright I wasn’t sure if it was just how they are over time or if I had a problem

Thanks I’ll order some before my next service!

Yeah I got the 2mm and 3mm drill bits like it said to do when I did it!

I also just changed the oil and I’ll look into using some diesel oil to clean my motor and I’ll try find the filters in bulk!! Thanks heaps

I’ll take it all apart and clean it next time when I do some engine work! Thanks for that much appreciated

I actually just done that to mine not even a week ago, mine wasn’t really dirty at all though

As a panel beater I can assure you that is easily a total loss, it would be fixable but they would class it as a write off, sorry man

So I’ve just changed out all my spark plugs for brand new Bosch ones, during this process I took a few photos, the plenum seemed to have a large amount of oil in it, I cleaned it out same as the throttle body but then also the intake the plenum bolts to was covered, can I remove and clean this...

Yeah I’ll shoot them a message and see if they want that done for them, I thought it would be that

Hi all I’m posting this for someone else but whilst retrieving a light from a vz commodore recently for someone I noticed black oil marks starting from just below the intake the whole way down the front of the engine block and the oil level didn’t even show on the dip stick, I’ve advised them to...

I brought it off my father in law and still I’m his name for now

I might do the all of them at the same time but I’ve gotta find the time to even do it all, I’ve looked at the pcv mod and I cleaned mine out but I don’t have the right sized drill bits but I need to get some to do it, Thanks for that

I haven’t had the car for a very long time, yeah I need some parts cleaner, Thanks

I’ve got all this leaked oil on the size of my engine and I’m not too sure where it’s coming from, I’ve attached a photo can someone tell me what it’s from and how to fix it? Or how to diagnose where it’s coming from

Thanks I’ll give it a go and wait to see how your rears go haha

Have you found a fix? I’ve got the same problem and it’s driving me nuts, I’ve taken my wheels off a bunch and I’ve narrowed it down to the pads rattling, i don’t know how to make it stop though

It’s a ve omega, I’ve got one, just don’t even waste your money, save it for other things for the car or another car, they might get louder but they don’t really sound any better, best option for louder just take the muffler off, it won’t sound how you’re probably wanting it too

You can paint it black, you can get a custom one some people make them, you can remove the whole grille, just please don’t put a Chevy badge on it

Im not 100% sure they will fit but there is a really good chance they will, although he VF seats aren’t even as comfortable as the VE ones but if you’re going for looks I completely understand, might be worth getting the seats, trying them, if they do or don’t fit tell this forum and then if...

Can you? Yeah definitely if you really want to you can put anything in anything with enough time, effort and resources, If you do probably won’t be road legal *cough* unless you get it registered and everything first and then do it and tell Nobody *cough* but then if you get pulled up and...

Lots of people seem to say Otr but theyre just not that good over the other options you have out there, If you’re going cheap the two hold mod is great and you can always get your hands on a stock box pretty easily if you wanna reverse it, Then the cold air intake really depends on 2 things to...

5w-30 will do just fine no need to change it, depends on which engine you’ve got in yours mine help 6.7 litres of oil, you reset the servicing by holding down the menu button I think it is (bottom left button on steering wheel) then turning on the ignition, it’ll come up to reset the service and...

Best option is find an sv6 or ss middle section and then some ss mufflers, I know everyone wants there car to sound awesome but the v6’s are just a waste of time/money even if they do sound good, save yourself the $1,000 and put it away for when your able to own a v8, I’ve got the v6 and heard a...

I’ll have a look for one I just used my pressure washer down the top cover and hoped it got as much out as it could

It’s had no coolant for a while, im not sure if some green was in it still mixing with it but the majority of it has been water, I’ve cleaned it out and put it the correct red coolant and it seems to be doing better

I just used some water to try drain it out but I’ll try get some flush for it

So I got my 07’ ve omega from someone I know and after purchasing it from them to fix up for a new daily, I found out that someone told them not to put coolant in and just use water “it’s the same thing and coolant does nothing” when I head this I went to get supplies to dump the old liquid and...

You could paint the eyelids but then you can’t really ever get that off the headlights, whereas wrap you can heat and remove, the badges you could even use good old pasti dip and remove the black if you want them chrome again

You could just paint the badges you do have, just use etch primer and make sure that it’s properly prepped or else it’ll flake off, I’m gonna put black eyelids on mine by just using wrap and cutting it to shape if that’s something you’d wanna do

I’ve gotta test that, just talked to the guys at work and they’ve said try that and if so get a new bearing

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t it wasn’t moving at all only the hub

Thank you, my wheel hub slightly wobbled when the wheel was off, I heard that was possibly normal? Is it normal for the VE’s wheel hub to wobble?

I’m unsure because I didn’t put the rims that are on it on, I don’t think so though

So I’ve been hearing a metal tapping noise whilst driving but not whilst braking, read a thread on here and someone said breaks, upon further inspection I found this broken and I’m unsure of the name of the piece, I’ve found tapered washer but just looking for some help, as well as the rough...

Did they check the actual wiring or sensors for damage? I’m thinking possibly something silly that hasn’t been looked over, new cats and sensors haven’t done much it seems, did they actually have any codes come up when the looked?

You’re gonna probably have to place everything electrical on the car and it is possible but will take quite a long time to first get all the wiring you need, remove the old wiring and install the new wiring, as well as all the electronics, then some interior pieces im Not sure if you’ve checked...

Yeah they’ll fit, I know the taillights are different sizes if your doing the rear bumper, probably gonna need to change the tail lights

Yeah and it didn’t seem to actually be using more fuel just said it was, done nearly 450kms and used only half a tank
