    Oil warning

    Hey I need some help. I just recently rebuilt the bottom end in my LS1 VY Berlina. Since the rebuild my check oil warning keeps beeping at me. First I thought it was the oil pressure switch. I replaced it, no change. Then I thought perhaps too much oil, that seemed to help it but now my problem...

    Ve fuel pressure drop on crank lfx p228c

    My 2013 VE SV6 LFX, has just decided to have a fuel issue one day any not start again. I've replaced both the electronic and high pressure fuel pumps. So on prime I get 60 to 65 psi and the beginning of crank it rolls up to 1800psi, hits 1800 and then dies off to 30 psi and I cannot figure out why

    YA oil pressure sensor question: Which one to buy?

    Hi Commodore Lovers, My VZ Failtec is getting the dreaded "check engine" error, my mates checker says it's the oil pressure sensor, now I'm getting intermittent "check oil" warnings even though oil level is good and no leaks, not running like a tractor, etc. (Don't worry I've been thru the...

    VE SSV Oil Pressure Gauge 1-3-5

    Hi All. Couldn't seem to find an existing thread and I don't see it in the manual. Are the numbers written on these oil pressure gauges arbitrary or do the mean something? 1 - 3 - 5 Bar perhaps? Thanks

    Fuel Tank Sucking and collapsing in...

    Hi, the vehicle in question is a 2002 holden commodore vx v6 with 201000 on the clock. My main issue is when the fuel cap is screwed in to place the fuel tank immediately starts to suction in. This is easily visible by looking underneath at the tank and seeing the tank rise off its brackets...

    Effects of wrongly inflated tyres

    Fitting elec oil pressure gauge??

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has done this? Is there somewhere convenient to fit the sender? Like a T piece or is there a sandwich plate available to take a sender between the block and filter or something? This is for a VT series 1 V6 btw. Thanks all.
