You're correct that plastic bit, does fit in a groove. I managed to get it back into place. After a good hour of trying. But now I have a working heater again. This piece of plastic helps seperate the hot and cold, and directs the hot air through the mix door. It may not be the hottest heater...

Ok I have just managed to pull the heater core out and have a look inside the hole where it fits. I turned on the fan with the heater core out and it blew out a lot of this crap (I have no idea what it is) Pic I then stuck my hand in to have a feel around and noticed this peice of plastic...

I think what I will do over the next few days is. take out the heater core (I used the cut/hose method). From there I should be able to see if the Mix Door is closing correctly. I will also make sure the heater core has foam around all its edges (as I really can't remember if it did when I...

Just gave the above a go, but no good. While stuffing around with it, I noticed I can feel some cold (air cond) air blowing out from where the heater core slides into. So I'm guessing there is a crack or broken bit in the heater box where the heater core fits, and thats allowing cold air in...

I'll give it a go, but I really don't like the chances of this fixing it. as I said the Brass pipes and Core itself is getting hot as it is.

I've got a problem with my heater only producing warm air- Heater core has been changed recently, and heater tap seems to work (Heater core and brass pipes get hot) I've got a feeling my Air mix door is faulty/broken, not closing correctly. With the car at operating temp and the brass...

According to this thread http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vr-vs-holden-commodore-1993-1997/195111-vs-v8-heater-hose-diagram-2.html The top hose going through the firewall connects to the return line, and the bottom hose is the supply line. Currently my car has these 2 hoses around the other...

re bumping this thread. If the brass pipes under the dash are getting hot, then surely the Heater water valve is working correctly and does not need replacing? I'm almost at the point of ripping my entire dash out and getting a professional to look at it. Edit- Just took off the heater tap...

Hey guys, I've got a VR Senator with climate control and the heater has never worked (only blows cold /cool air) since i've owned it (10 years) I have replaced the Heater core itself so that should not be blocked. and the brass pipes under the dash do get hot. I have run the diagnostic on the...

Hi Struggo Not sure if you're still around, but where did you get this info from. I have run the diagnostic on the climate control and Water Valve bit does not seem to be working correctly. in the diagnostic it says there should be No vacuum at the Water Valve (is this heater tap??) during...

Turns out it was the Hall Effect sensor in the dizzy causing the issue. New dizzy and problem solved.

All metallic colours are clear over base (except for monometallics but we wont get into that), which means there is a base colour put down first, and then clear coats put over the top to give it gloss. All solid colours (white for example) are Direct Gloss, which means the colour comes out of...

Hey guys Lately I have been having problems with starting my vs v8 statesman. It will always turn over, but sometimes it just wont start at all. I have checked the codes (when the car starts) and it comes up with 12 (everything ok) and 26 (Air Intake Temp (voltage Unstable) I have...

If its PPG deltron 2k basecoat, then it should be thinned down 1:1 which means for every 100ml of paint, u add 100ml of ppg 2k thinners

Is the be senator 185i memcal any different, or has a different tune on a standard vr 5ltr?

so does that mean they wont work, or will just require a tune to work 100%

It is a fairly stock 185i senator so it has hsv exhaust, pacemaker extractors, hsv cold air intake system, and thats it. 190,000 on the clock all fairly stock engine wise. Im just replacing the extractors cos i baught some shitty ones of ebay which have got the car running like a pig.

Ok thanks With the tune, do they just reprogram the standard chip in the ecu? or do you buy a new one and start from scratch? Im a bit of a novice when it comes to the 5ltr ECU tuning side of things? What is involved, how much would I roughly be looking at etc? Thanks

Hey guys, just a quick question will VT 5ltr Injectors (part number - 0 280 150 973) work fine in a VR 185i Senator 5ltr which should have 0 280 150 960 injectors in it. I had a look at the flow rates etc, and the difference is Part Number LBS/HR CC/MIN 0280150960 18.25...

Hey guys, Ignition module in my VS stato 5ltr has **** itself, Im borrowing a work mates at the moment to get around. But what I need to know is where is the best / cheapest place to get another one of these, should i go genuine, new, aftermarket, second hand? etc etc? where do you guys go...

Does anyone know if the front guard splash liners/guards, are the same between statesman and commodores? and also the rubber window track that goes in the door, are these the same between commodores and statesmans?? Thanks Ryan

Make sure ALL your connections on ur battery are tight, I had a problem where the car would turn over but not start and it was simply fixed by tightening all the bolts on the battery terminals, and follow the earth wires and make sure they are tight at the other end aswell. ur battery might be...

I bought a length of fuel hose and put one end in my ear, and moved the other end around the extractors while the car was idleing, and there definitely a leak on the drivers hand side extractor gasket right at the front. Hopefully this is my ticking noise, I will get the mechanics to fix it when...

and another question, If it is injectors, and they need replacing, has anyone used the ones for sale on ebay? are they any good and are they direct replacement for the injectors that would be in a 185i HSV senator?

my VR 5ltr, has an annoying Ticking noise that changes speeds with the revs, Can only hear it in the car while driving, cant hear it under the bonnet reving in netutal... could this be the fuel reg vibrating? and if so how do u fix that lol its definatly a fast ticking noise and its...

Hey guys, I have a VR senator 185i, car has done about 190k and it has got an annoying ticking noise while I'm driving - I can hear it inside the car with the windows up - It starts around 1500rpm - I cannot hear it when reving the car in neutral, (can only hear it when the car is under...
