A common problem with the right angle PCV breather adaptors on the 304 engines, is that they tend to come loose and will potentially fall out, due to only being a tapered fit. I came across this solution perusing a Facebook group and decided to do the modification myself. Two simple M5 grub...

Does anyone know where I can get Loctite Hysol 615 Epoxy from? Thanks N.K.

I went to unlock my VT with the remote and bugger me, my Daughter's friend's VT that was parked close to mine, unlocked remotely as well. Both unlocked and locked together every time I did it. The key did not open the door though. One in a million or what!!!

Hi all. I have a 5s iPhone and have just recently backed it up on iTunes. If I restore the phone to factory settings and then restore the backup to the phone, will everything that was on the phone, including apps, be restored back onto the phone. I've never done this before and I just want to...

What you'll need Drill. Old radiator cap. 38mm or 1 1/2 inch hole saw. Or one that suits the size of the bottle you're using. I find the 38mm hole saw best. 1) Cut out the guts of the cap. 2) Remove and keep the rubber seal. 3) Centre the hole saw on the cap and cut the hole. 4) Using a blade...

Hi all. I keep getting DTC 36 (vacuum leak) intermittently coming up, On my 5 litre VT. I have checked and have had checked absolutely every thing. I've checked and replaced hoses. Installed new o rings on the injectors. Replaced the pcv valve, which by the way was stuffed. Sprayed copious...

Hi all.... Is a rising rate 1:1 adjustable fuel regulator, suitable to use on a N/A engine? Or are they only used on forced induction engines? Thanks N.K

VT 5 litre I'm just wondering why the O2 sensors would set a trouble code, only when driving at highway speed, but not when driving around town. Engine light came on for about 30 seconds, after about 10 minutes at 100k and went off. Has happened twice over the last few days, but has never set a...

I have an ongoing problem with my a/c not working and I happened across an a/c diagnostic section in the factory service manual. Now....it says that the wire from the a/c switch to the bcm, should have +12v when the switch is held in and ign on. When I tested this, I had just over 5v, but when I...

Hi all I did post in the Cruze section, but it may not get a lot of attention. Does anyone know if the auto gear box in a 2011 turbo petrol Cruze is sealed Need to check the oil in it as it seems to be slipping. Holden are no help. They just said bring it in and we'll charge you $120 an hour to...

Could someone please explain to me in laymen terms, what a 'power up' circuit/switch is. I have googled, it but the explanations are a bit beyond me. Thanks N.K

Sorry guys. I haven't been on much since the upgrade and I'm still feeling my way around the new format. But do subscribed thread notifications come up in the Alert tab? Thanks, N.K.

Ok here's the scenario. Leave for work a 4pm. Warm up the car. Drive for 4 Km. Engine reaches N.O.T. (approx. 85c). 4 hours later.......Start the car and the temp is around 40c. (Depending on the weather). Whilst driving, engine seem to be chocking a bit. Drive for approx. 1 Km. Switch off the...

Apparently, the VT 5 litre has a 3 bar fuel regulator. My 5 litre, having been modified has been fitted with a 3.5 bar regulator. The 3 and the 3.5bar reg are identical to look at, so it must be off a V8 of some sort. Does anyone know what engine the 3.5 bar reg is off??

Hi all. The intake on my 304 has been modified and has one coolant temp sensor. So could someone please confirm for me, is there 1 or 2 coolant temperature sensors, on the VT S1 304 engine? Every time I have enquired about these sensors, they ask which one I need..... the ecu sensor, or the one...

Just after some thoughts on the after market headlights available on eBay. I realise they may not be up to scratch compared to the factory ones. But if anyone has purchased some, I'd like to hear their opinions on them. Thanks..... N.K.

Found this and thought it would be useful. The picture below, describes how to delete diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's), or error codes, without having to use diagnostic scan tools.

97 VT 5 Litre. Been trying to sort out a problem with my engine. To cut to the chase, I've found that when I connect the timing light to the leads on the left bank, there's no light. The right side is ok. It does idle ok and I'm thinking it's a weak spark on that side, that's why the timing...

Hi all. Was just checking for vacuum leaks and thought I'd check the intake manifold bolts. Upon doing this, I noticed that 4 out of the 14 were not up to torque specifications. Now....My question is. Would it be ok just to tighten the 4 bolts (to spec) and check the others? Or, would it be...

Hi all. I've been wondering if there is a difference between intake manifold vacuum pressure, when the engine is cold and when it's at N.O.T. ? As some of you may be aware, I have a modified, mafless engine with a big custom intake manifold and a twin 63mm TB (see Picture below). When it's...

Hi all. My son has an iPhone 4 or 4s and we can't get it to send photos. It just comes back with something like; 'Not delivered'. Not being savy with smart phones (can't stand them to be honest). Is there some setting/s that need to be activated? Thanks.... N.K.

Hi all. The engine (304ci) in my VT SS is maffless tuned, so a MAP sensor was installed. I have a DTC set regarding, either the MAP or the wiring. After back probing the sensor, I found there is an intermittent reference signal (centre wire on the plug). The VT 304 PCM's don't have a MAP...

Hi all once again. My 5L has developed a small but annoying problem and as some of you would be aware, it's not your every day 304. When I accelerate at normal or at a faster rate off idle, the engine seems to be chocking (similar to a carby engine with the choke out) and will sometimes...

Hi all. I'm wondering if you can use the older style timing lights on engines with electronic ignition. I have heard that they aren't compatible, due to higher voltages produced (or something like that) and you have to use one that specifically made for electronic ignitions. Is this just a...

Here's something I found in the Holden FSM that might help all of those who have Intermittent Remote Key Operation.......And by what I've seen on the Forum, there's quite a few of you..... So, before you freak out and go trotting off to your local Locksmith for a new fob, or Holden or eBay for...

I've been going through some connector diagrams and I'm wondering, if anyone can tell me what the M.W.H. means, next to the connector number, in the picture below. The thing is, it's not on all of them. Edit: By the way......No smart arse answers please ;)

Moved this from another one of my Threads..... I was feeling a bit bored yesterday, so I thought I'd pull the injectors out and check the O rings for wear. Upon removing the left rail, I found this on number 8 injector. As you can see in the picture, the little yellow nozzle......well...

Hi all. Just a quick one. Can anyone tell me if this earth strap is located under the plenum, at the base of the windscreen, passenger's side? It looks as if it is........Just want to confirm it. Thanks...... NK.

Hi all. Sorry if this is a bit long winded, but the more information I give you, the more I hope to get back. ;) What I am wondering is. How much (if any) is the engine timing effected by how much the engine has been modified? As some of you may be aware my engine (VT 304ci) has been...

I turned on my Laptop yesterday and when I logged into JC, I found things have changed on the pages (see below). I'm running Mozilla Firefox, but it's showing the same on Explorer as well. I went to another Australian car forum that uses the same forum format as JC and it was fine. Just...

Hi all. This isn't really a problem. It's just a why does it happen. But when the coolant temperature reaches 91c, both the high and low speed fans come on. They both switch off at around 85c. This has been going on for as long as I can remember, but I haven't really worried about it...

Hi all. I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop which is approximately 3 1/2 to 4 years old. I bought it new and have NEVER had a problem with it (touch wood). But just recently, sometimes the cooling fan makes a racket, (after waking it up, or on power up)....sort of a grinding sound. It's not really...
