My LLT engine was doing this p0008 code intermittently for weeks and going into limp mode and Holden found a faulty wire going to the cam position sensor (I think but can’t remember as was 3 years ago) and replaced the wire and no more error codes or problems since.

I searched the forum and couldn’t find anything about this topic. I have 2 vb commodore steel wheels in storage that I want to sell and need to clarify some things about them so I know how to advertise them. They are date stamped with month and year. Were they only on vb or other models as...

Any auto upholstery place can do it. Had the wife’s omega done last year for $240 and got my sv6 done last month for $300. He charged me extra because I have the DVD player in the roof so was a bit more work to get around that. Better to let someone else do it because it’s a pain to remove all...

I had my sv6 do something similar last year. Same as you described and every time it happened and check engine light came on for few seconds and went away again. Did this on and off for a few weeks and never showed a code in the computer. I had it to Holden for a service and they found a loose...

Hey guys im posting this for my brother that’s doing the swap. Hey people im looking for some help, Iv put a known running 3.6 10h9h engine from 1/07 4wd auto, into a 9/07 2wd manual, that originally had a 10h9e in it, and it wont run. I can crank it over and over without generating any...

Don’t hold me to it but I remember seeing someone on a Facebook group saying the guys in boolaroo a place called argenton automotive were reasonably priced on doing chains. I have searched for the posts but can’t find them now. Give them a call and see what they say.

I have the same car and did my clock spring about 6 months ago for rego and air bag light hasn’t came back since. New clock spring was around $220 on eBay. Definitely don’t stuff around with second hand ones. It’s just not worth the drama.

Probably easier and less mess to drain all the oil out and put it back in. I always put 6 litres in first and then check the level and add small amounts from there till it’s up to the correct level.

Yeah should have went there first.

Ok just an update on this filter. I had another look at the filter and asked the young guy at super cheap. He showed me there is an arrow mark on the bottom showing flow direction. It’s very very faint white on the foam and had to put my glasses on and could only just make it out. Can’t see...

I just purchased a Ryco cabin filter for my ve from super cheap to replace the old one that’s in there. The problem I am having is the Holden one in there now has an arrow showing which way the air flow goes. The super cheap one has no markings on it. One side is yellow and one side is grey. So...

Sounds like when the check engine light came on the car has gone into limp mode. This happens when some engine sensors trip a code to limit engine power to try and stop damage to the engine. Would be best to get it scanned because it could be anything causing it. You can ask super cheap to scan...

I got vf sv6 wheels for my wife's omega and used the VE wheel nuts no problem. The only thing I did was paint the nut caps black because the vf wheel centres were black and silver caps looked **** on it.

There are plenty of people on marketplace parting VE Commodores now since there aren't many of the older models left.

I don't know about repco prices but I bought 2 off eBay. Got the Mxs 5 for my bike battery for a bit over $100 last year and Mxs 10 last month for $220.
