Since there is no key way I assume it doesn't matter which way the balancer goes on the crank, is that correct? Does anyone have any innovative ways of stopping the motor from turning when torquing the bolt, I managed to get the bolt undone without using any thing. I am aware of the ring gear...

I am trying to fix my driver's seat which has quite a bit of movement back and forth. I have read a few thread about this problem but not really getting the advice I need. Can anyone answer any of these questions please. 1 The big torx bolt with the white mark in the picture below, is it right...

Is it only the Caprice that has heated mirrors or do Statesman and Calais have them as well? I'm talking WH/VT/VX. The reason I ask is because I need a new mirror glass and it would give me more options if the other models have them. I have three mirror glasses but none of them heat up (no...

After doing a test for parasitic drain of the battery I've determined that the Telematics module is the culprit, 0.132 amps when connected and 0.017 when disconnected. I can't leave it disconnected because the car won't start without it. Does anybody know if it is just a matter of disabling it...

Hi folks, I'm new to this part of the forum but a long time member. I'ts time for a change and I will be saying good-bye to my LS1 WH Caprice. I still love the car but it is an endless money pit. After having a good look around at different makes and models of SUVs I am about to purchase 2017...

It's me again with more problems. According to my Holden Service CD the fuse panel in the engine bay is the same for VT,VX,VU & WH and the layout is per diagram below. This image I googled is from a VX and is pretty much the same layout as the diagram above. This a pic of my fuse box which...

I'm about to change the knock sensors on my LS1 in the next few days but I am going to have a problem with torque settings for the intake manifold. The settings are: 1st stage 5nm 2nd stage 10nm. I have a torque wrench and a digital torque adapter that I just bought a...

I just bought a new Delphi fuel pump/sender on ebay but it didn't come with the filter screen. I tried to buy the screen filter from Holden but they do not sell them separately, they come with the fuel pump. I don't suppose anybody has any suggestions on where I might get one. I messaged the...

I've been looking on ebay for some new fuel injectors, old ones have done 410,000kms so I figure it's time. There are so many different ones available I'm a bit lost as to what the correct ones are. Are the standard ones 42lb, 440cc? I assume an increase in the cc would require a tune. Any...

I've been looking at these bushes on ebay and I am a bit confused. Some listings have just the bushes:https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Commodore-Rear-Crossmember-Mount-Bush-VT-VX-VY-VZ-Holden-Genuine-New-92059086/252971929522?epid=609879760&hash=item3ae64d4fb2:g:TpAAAOSw9GhYhHjh and some have an...

Went for a long drive today and on the way home I noticed very little air coming out of the vents. I turned the fan on high and still barely any air coming out of the vents, all vents. I could hear the fan blowing like crazy but something was stopping it from reaching the vents. The little air I...

I replaced my O2 sensors with genuine new ones about four days ago and today my check engine light came on a few times. A scan revealed a fault with one of the sensors (insufficient activity with O2 sensor Bank 1, sensor 1). I had no issues with my old sensors but replaced them because they were...

Is this really necessary, that's 40 minutes of idling. IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE Whenever the PCM or the battery is disconnected or the PCM loses power, the PCM’s learned position of the IAC valve pintle is lost, resulting in an unstable idle. Perform the following procedure in order to return the...

I need to remove the A/C idler pulley and the bolt appears to be Torx head, I can't see in there to well. Any body know what size and is left or right hand thread? My largest torx bit is T45 and a tad small.

Whenever I have the A/C on I get a shudder or vibration in the car and it seems to be getting progressively worse. I also feel the same vibration when the cooling fan(s) kick in with A/C off, it is only for a brief second and it feels like the revs drop as well. It's like the engine fans are...

I called in to Holden today to price a few items, I don't think the guy knew what he was doing because it took him about 20 minutes to get the prices. The prices were way over the top. 3 bolts that hold the heat shield on to the exhaust manifold, about 10mm long, $64. An air filter for the air...

Has anybody installed these, if so what's the verdict. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/H-Duty-Front-Sway-Bar-Link-Ball-Joint-Pin-Kit-VU-VX-VY-V2-WH-WK-00-05-Stabiliser-/261941527445?hash=item3cfcee8395:g:AaQAAOSwSlBYtIuL

I need to replace the rear rubber coupling on the tailshaft but three of the bolts are normal and the other three have unusual heads, shaped a bit like an overgrown torx bit. Does anyone know what tool and size is required to undo them?

Has anyone else had problems with Super Charge batteries? I seem to only get a year to 18 months out of them. I got them replaced by warranty once and then I have to buy a new one. I bought the last one in November last year and it's already not holding a charge, flat battery this morning. I...

Does anyone know where you can get the small plastic type nuts and bolts for fastening a weathershield to the brackets. I've lost a few. I know I could use very small normal nuts and bolts but I think it would look a bit tacky.

I know there is an audio section on the forum for this but there seems to be very little activity there. I am looking to upgrade my factory Eurovox Maestro system in my WH Caprice and I am looking for recommendations. I would prefer to stay in the $500- $600 range if possible. The features I...

I had a recondition engine installed about two years ago (90,00 kms) and for about a year now the welch plug at the rear of the passenger side head has been leaking, not impressed. The welch plug is still in very good condition bit not sealing properly and leaking very slowly, a few drops on the...

Anyone know whether WH series II are OBDII.

I doubt he will do it again. https://youtu.be/mS4_dwBexv8

A short story before my question. I need a new front bumper because mine is pretty stuffed after hitting a discarded truck tyre tread on the freeway. I have been looking for a second hand bumper in my colour (tungsten) but can't find one. Rather than buying a different colour bumper and having...

Absolute TPS percentage on my LS1 has always been o% at idle, which I guessed was normal. I'm trying to find a problem with my daughter's 2006 Hyundai Elantra so I connected my scan tool and the TPS percentage at idle is 5.8% but I'm not sure whether it should be 0% or different vehicles have...

Does the series 1 WH Caprice have heated mirrors? I need to replace a mirror, looking for secondhand in my colour but I want to be sure that series 1 has heated mirrors. Thanks EDIT: Also, did the series one WH also come in Tungsten?

I've search and searched and there seems to be plenty of threads about no reverse lights and they all say they checked their globes and fuses but I'll be stuffed if I can find a fuse for the reverse lights. My globes are fine, got plenty to test with. I bridged the light green and brown/blue...

Yesterday when driving up my extra steep drive way my car stopped just as I was entering my garage. Plenty of power everything was working except the engine and starter motor. Tracked it down to a blown fuse in the panel under the steering column, fuse 14, ENGINE CONT.BCM replaced the fuse and...

I need to have a whinge . I just replaced my brake fluid reservoir and for something that should have taken about 10 minutes took me over an hour. This is because whoever deigned this, in their wisdom decided to put the retaining bolt on the left side near the strut tower where you have no hope...

It is not a wheel shudder but and engine shudder, it happens when I am coming to a complete stop, like at traffic lights. It's been happening for years and is getting worse with time and it's driving me crazy. It is not the engine or transmission as they have both been reconditioned and it was...

I don't know what it is called or even what it is but I've seen it applied on a pick up on Overhaulin' but at that point I wasn't really paying attention. It didn't seem to be a hard paint, more of a durable chip resistant coating. Does anybody know of this product? I want to spray the interior...

I just noticed that the battery light was on with the ignition off, so I checked the battery voltage only to find that the alternator is not charging at all. What a pain, I replaced it about two years ago and they are very difficult to get at on the LS1. Is it normal for the battery light to be...

I swapped the clear bulb that light up the temperature gauge, fuel gauge, tacho and speedo with white LEDs and now the needles of these gauges have changed from orange to white. No orange globe was removed. Any ideas on what's going on?

Has anyone used these globes ( 1 X NEO Wedge SMD LED Bulbs T3 T4 T5 White Blue RED Green Amber Purple T4 2 T4 7 | eBay) in their instrument cluster or Climate Control panel and can you tell me if they are too bright or do they blend in well with the normal globes? Thanks

Is there any way to replace the latch on the compartment at the rear of the centre console (below air vents)? I'm guessing there isn't, I had a bit of a look, undid 2 screw at the bottom rear (one each side) and 2 screws behind the lid that I thought might enable me to remove the whole rear...

I am in the process of putting slotted rotors on and while I'm at it giving the callipers and brackets (anchor plates) a good clean. Anyway I have forgotten which rear bracket goes on which side and since they have different part numbers on them I assume it matters where they go, even though...

I have just purchased a set of genuine WH statesman II international projector headlights and before installing them I tried to remove the parker globe because I want to change it but it doesn't just pull out like they normally do. I have tried turning and pulling with quite a bit of force but...
