Has your power steering cooler split open or rusted through and leaking oil all over your nice white driveway??? Well maybe it is time to replace it. I priced up the replacement from the Holden near me and they wanted $69.95 for the standard replacement cooler, but autopro sold an aftermarket...

i think i know what noise you mean it only happens when in gear and foot on the brake, it is like a vibration ticking noise. i have noticed it on other ecotec's as well. I think it has something to do with the harmonic balancer when under load, like foot on brake while in gear, my vxII hit...

This morning when i started my vx V6 to go to work it backfired as soon as the engine turned over, and everytime i have started it since today it backfires, was wondering if anyone has some ideas as to what it might be. There is no loss of power while driving and engine idles the same as it...

if the coupling you got is the one i am looknig for how much would you want for it???

try putting the key into the ignition and turning it to the on positions and pressing the lock button for a few seconds, it should re-sync the key and the computer of the car. i have to do it to mine at least once every couple of months cause it wont unlock all the doors. hope that helps.

no chance, they are completely different, sorry dude
