Yesterday i destroyed 2 bridgestone tyres on 16 inch alloys.VZ, is there any chance that 17 inch alloys off a 2007 Volvo XC90 all wheel drive would bolt on? I ask because I don't know but the 17 inch tyres are new still have the injection molding tips have not worn off the tread

I expect a simple answer but what causes "drive train" warning with a lightning pic?

I recently bought an April 2007 VZ Commodore wagon with factory LPG injection. Without paying a tech $$$s, how do I know what power it is producing, ie how to identify what engine is in it? (V6 Alloytech I know) but are there any identifiers to tell me 175kw, 190kw or what? All I can say just...

I own a 2007 VZ 3.6 alloytech wagon. How do I tell if it is 180 or 185 kw? If it makes any diff, it has factory injected LPG.

I have some very good drivcing lights and I want to mount them on my 2006 VZ Commodore but I don't want my car catching fire. If you have the correct diagram, I would appreciate a copy please.

I have a VZ Commodore and I also have a VF bull bar I would like to fit to the VZ. I do not want advice re how/why I should not do it. Please provide helpful steps as to how I should proceed, if you can. I have all the bolts, fittings and the indicator and fog lights with their wiring harnesses...

I may be coming into a little money and I am thinking on a "sleeper" VZ, steel wheels et al. I want to fix the car up first and I am looking around for a panel shop in Sydney to clean the paint. Next step, twin turbos and some work on the auto plus a twin stainless exhaust system that sounds...

Title says it all. Both of my external power mirrors have stopped working. I am thinking relay or similar but I have no idea where said relay might be found. I have several 12 volt x 30amp relays so that should not be a problem. Plus I have a 60 watt soldering iron and lots of solder. Hmmmmmm

As the title says, draining 100% of my Alloytech engine coolant. I have a 2006 VZ Commodore and I am trying to avoid the hassle of asking 10 mechanics "how do I drain 100% of my engine coolant?" and getting 10 different methods. I have owned several VT Commodores and removing both knock sensors...

WTB 16 INCH COMMODORE STEEL WHEELS, 4 or 5 of in straight condition, black or silver does not matter. Rusty is a deal breaker. Tyres are not needed, I have a good set. They are going on my 2006 VZ sedan for a round-trip to Queensland, so they must be straight as I hate vibrations through my car...

T'other day I dropped in to K-Mart tyre service to ask about getting my handbrake adjusted. Quote was $150+. Seeing my jaw drop, the guy said that all 4 wheels had to come off to do the job. Any comments from members are welcome

can this be done without gross amounts of filthy lucre? How is it done? I have searched the VZ forum with no result.

Simple, I hope. Is there a DIY method for changing the VZ keyhead. Please keep any instructions/directions simple. Reason for this thread is that I lost my keys and have a duplicate key and the original head which was changed for a new one last year Well, I have had 65 people look at this post...

simple question time. Where are the VZ power mirror fuses located. Sadly, my VZ workshop manual has gone missing.

My VZ which recently aquired has decided that I no longer need powered external rear vision mirrors. IE they stopped working. Fuse? Relay? Anyone familiar with this problem? How did you fix it?

I want to replace all of the external light bulbs on my VZ sedan.I already have the leds but I am told that I should install resistors for the indicator and brake circuits to prevent the indicators from going beserk and to make sure the cruise control works right. What resistors should I use...

my 2006 v6 vz sedan has developed an annoying ticking , clicking sound that appears to be coming from the instrument panel. My first thought was speedo cable but I think they are a thing of the past as it is all electronic now, even the throttle. Any info would be helpfull. I am concerned that...

Is any parts distributor in Australia selling the solid aluminium LIM gasket? I bought one for my ecotech 3.8 from an American distributor but I now am driving an alloytech 3.6. I am fairly convinced that the two gaskets are different to the point that they are not interchangeable and I have...

I am probably a bit late asking this question but it is about questionable mechanics. My daughter recently found a thermostat coolant leak in her 2006 VZ Commodore. Her mechanic quoted $1200 to do do the job. As she needed the car on a daily basis, she got him to do the job. From what I can see...

Does anybody on here have a second hand Transmission oil cooler I can have for peanuts? or less. My wagon is almost ready to put on the road but the second time we started it, it dropped a decent puddle of bright pink transmission fluid on the ground hence my need for a trans oil cooler. being...

The positive cables attached to the original tin bracket that serves as a + connection on the original VT battery have me stumped. I need to find out how many cables there were in the original cable setup as I think one of mine has gone missing. This would possibly explain why my car has no...

Succinct title says it all really. I almost have a VX Lumina dual fuel which will not start. grateful for all but obscene suggestions. I am reasonably familiar with old favorites ie no petrol, no lpg etc but send them anyway. I want this to work. Might be my last car, one way or another...

pulled a VT 3.8 motor and auto out, fitted a VX motor and auto and no power anywhere. Looked at the usual suspects and no joy so now looking for help. This is an extended project as I have just spent ten weeks in hospital where they tried to kill me, twice but I'm still here but weak as pss as I...

1 man brake bleed. kiss. I am not going to pay lubemobile $160+ to bleed my brakes. That said, how do I bleed them on my own? I also want to drain all of the old fluid out as the car has sat for several years. Pads are all new, front rotors are new slotted rear rotors are new plain so...

I can't remember why but I need to know, where is the BCM? I did search but after reading about 50 posts on the subject, none of which mentioned the location, I gave up and just asked you guys. Cheers

What the title says. I love cruise control and drive to sunny Queensland from time to time. Cruise is great on some of the stretches specially north of Grafton on Summerland Way.

My current project, a 1999 VT Executive wagon stock as a rock except for Berlina (I think) 16 inch mags, car sat for about 3 years and I need some advice on what to do before attempting to start it. I took the VT motor out and fitted a 2001 VX 3.8 V6 with matching auto from the same car. Extra...

I have a 1999 VT series 2 into which I and some volunteers have slotted a 2001 VX engine and auto box. everything fitted and bolted up beautifully. My only problem is the silver wrapped vacuum line hanging down alongside the driver side of the auto trans. Can any knowledgeable person tell me...

I have searched for some info on this but get info for VX, VY etc and I know they are different. Has anybody got a diagram for the VT headlights? Mine does not have auto on/off.

Simple question. Are the VT rear Control Arms the same sedan to wagon? If different, please explain the difference.

At the front of the o/s head on my VX V6 there is an alloy casting connects to the heater valve via a hose What is this casting called? I assume that it carries water to or from the heater valve. There is also an o-ringed part of this casting that inserts into the timing case next to the...

As the title says, What is "low friction technology" with reference to the 3.8 ecotec engines? Explanations at year 8 levels please. Year 8 meaning me!

I am hoping that someone here on JC knows about INTENSE RACING in the USA. I was interested in the comments of some members re V6 inlet manifold gasket kits specially aluminium ones. I priced a few kits and they run from around $90 to $149. Yeah right! Intense Racing has them at $54 plus 6...

How can I find out when a VX engine was built? By that I mean when was the car made? I only have the engine and gearbox, car is long gone so I cannot look at the id plate. My engine number is VA072843

Done a couple of searches but no good. I am re-installing a tailshaft to my VT wagon. My problem is I have forgotten where the thick spacer washers go. Anyone on here know? I would just look for their shadow but I have painted the cross member, so gone.
