Yeah I did a bit of research and found out it was actually normal (not sure why mine is audibly beeping and yours is not though). I had been told long runs were good for cleaning it out, but what i did not realise was that it does not clean itself the entire time while travelling down...

So i removed the head unit, undone the work that I had done to bypass the handbrake signal, put everything back the way it was, and it is still not producing any sound for phone calls only... I am perplexed!

Hi All, I have a NY800 headunit by Blaupunkt, just recently the head unit stopped playing the audio from my connected phone. The phone connects via bluetooth fine, I can make a call and receive calls and they display on the HU no worries, but there is no audio coming through speakers when...

Hi All, I have just been googling for some detailed instructions on how to remove the head unit from my 2013 Captiva. I found one video which was handy, but didnt go into details (FYI it was this vid). has anyone got any detailed instructions on how to do this? The last time I attempted...

Hey all, I have the Holden Captiva Series II Diesel and over the past month i have had the DPF emissions light turn on (seemingly random) and beep, the light will stay on for anywhere between 10min - 2hr. Every 15 min or so the beeps will repeat, but the light stays solid. After a seemingly...

Spot on, finally got my ass into gear and ordered this part, it hasnt arrived yet, but was having a look yesterday and I have no idea how to remove the adjuster wheel from the driver seat? Is there a trick or do you just yank it off? cheers

Hey Guys, I just slid out of my VZ Sv6 and the plastic side piece to my drivers door broke off, its the piece with the height adjuster switch in it. Does anyone know what this is called? And how much I should expect to pay for a replacement from my local wreckers? I suppose a third...

HI all, just an update on where the car is at.... I called holden and asked for it to be checked out as most suggestions on this forum come up to dead ends unfortunately. The car is under a used car warranty, so i thought I may as well put it back on them to find the fault, so Holden had my car...

Hi, just to answer an easy one, the car has done 105,000km. I do have reasonably good ritual, I check oil, coolant, washer and tyres at least once a month, so I'm guilty of not checking weekly. I guess I'm a bit too comfortable with a 2005 model car. My last was an 85 model Toyota T-18, and i...

Thanks for all the tips, ill let you know how I get on. Cheers

Stuck my head under the bonnet real quick before work, and had NFI what I was looking for with regards to the PCV Valve.... I see the link above, but its not really showing me where to look... has anyone got a picture of an engine bay that they could circle the PCV on??? Cheers

It's the coolant that has been in since I got it... Was unaware of this red coolant... Holden replaced it last actually. I have to have good look on Friday as it's my day off, possibly look at putting thicker oil in, I might try 20-50.. I'll keep you posted on how I get on. Sent from my...

Well that's good news, oil and coolant have been changed, so my pets are safe... For now... On a side note, do you know where my PCV is? Sent from Tapatalk on my S3

Coolant is bright and green, no problems there, and can someone tell me where my PCV is??? I have never looked for it before.. Cheers

I will look into the above as soon as I knock off work, ill keep you posted. And just to clarify, when checking for funky brown coolant, am I just checking under radiator cap, or should I be looking elsewhere? Cheers
