Just had some discolouration (brown) They weren't bad really . 300,000km

I used this method using a tyre valve to clean them also using a 9v battery to open the injectors, I also changed the filters using a 10g screwed in to the top , and a pair of vice grips to pull like hell, the filter should come out with the screw.

Yes I'll be doing this in the coming days ..

I wonder why it has excess fuel in the plenum with the new injectors, is this a clue?

I'm not sure how to check fuel pressure on a VY Commodore

Just because of the age of the vechile, with the new injectors it ran great it gave me economy 7.3/100km It was just the hard starting .. Old injectors 10's/100km

Well I've put the old injectors in and the car is back to normal.. I'm going to look for someone in the area to test them for leaks etc ..

I'll be testing tomorrow morning now. Can only work up the energy to pull it apart once a day . I tried turning the key multiple times before cranking to make sure the rail is primed, it still does a long crank often requires a second crank then starts runs a little rough for a second then it...

Unfortunately it's not fixed,It was difficult to see underneath all 6 as It was difficult to lift the back ones up that were attached to the rail .. i'm going to put 5 old ones in, and at the front of the rail I'm going to put a new one with paper towel underneath and prime the rail, I'll test...

Well I found one with an internal leak .. it wasn't a big leak but I guess it doesn't need to be .. So I've got 5 new injectors and 1 old at the moment. I've had the car started, I'll go back out soon and try to start it and see if it does the longer crank after sitting ..

Yeah .. I thought about leaving some paper towel under the injectors.. good idea to prop the plenum up .. I'll report tomorrow morning my findings .. Thanks for everyone's replys

I'll try that .

No it wasn't doing it before changing them .

Hi I've put in new Bosch injectors, there not the Chinese copy's , they were $250 for 6 The car is hard to start , but is running great . If I start the car anymore then about 10 minutes after it last running, it's hard to start . ( If I turn the car off and start it again it starts as...

It was the transmission that was the problem something wrong in between over drives a second hand transmission fixed it

Did this fix it ? @evBenji

Cool thanks for that

Hi I've got a vy series 2 s 2004 300,000km original struts I've purchased new struts and rubber strut top bushes and bearings My question is in regards to the top hat do I need to replace them? They only just support the strut don't they

Hi The shocks you bought I've just purchased the same ones I was wondering are they adjustable? Do I even need to adjust them ? https://www.onlineautoparts.com.au/products/2-Front-Struts-VR-VS-VT-VX-VU-VY-Holden-Commodore-Shock-Absorber-Sedan-Wagon-Ute/ZPN-02011 Thank Kurt

Does remote ground go to the ground wire? Then remote input ST 1 go to key 1 Then remote input ST1 go to key 2 What about steering wheel remote input? Where does that go? So that's all I need to wire up? Leaving prk switch, reverse wire disconnected?

I'm using the above

Hi I'm in need of some assistance wiring the steering wheel control wires

How much oil do I put in if I just topped the system back up do I even need to put oil back on if it was low on gas?

How much ac oil goes back in the system if it was just low on gas and has been topped up?

@goose202 My issue disappears by doing this (3 clicks on the hand brake while slowly driving and the noise goes away) What is the shoe doing that causes this squeak and will tightening the handbrake up fix it? Seems 3 clicks on the handbrake stops the issue? (Drivers side back wheel)

I wish I took a picture of it to show you guys what I'm dealing with

I could put a shifter on the caliper mount but I wouldn't be able to torque them correctly

I was really meaning to ask for the torque specs of the back strut

It's a poor design to have to take off the strut

I can take the top of the caliper off its just the caliper mount that I can't get off because there's not enough room to get a torque wrench on it due to the strut being on the way @rambunctious

Hi Does anyone know the torque specs for the back rotors on a vy series 2 s? I need to take the back strut of to remove bolts on the rotor

@stick3 So it's pretty much just to assist in installing the caliper I just put my hand through the wheel and lifted it up completely and the sound while driving has gone now. I really only see it as just holdihg the pads in place while the caliper is closed. Thanks for your help

This is the metal arm I was talking about

Hi how important is it to have the metal arm reach from one pad over to the next in the centre off the pad? ((I'm talking the metal arm that can see through the little window area on the caliper)) it reaches to the opposite pad It's contacting the rotor when driving because it must be a...

It's the metal shims that sit top and bottom of the pads, take the wheel off and spin the rotor to see what one it is

How important is the metal tab that reaches across the next brake pad? It felt loose when pushing it down through the calliper window

Which way does the spacer go where marked red? (this is not actually a Pic of my rod I'm just using it as a reference @_R_J_K_

The coza kit

Yes the rubber boot part, I had 2 pacers left over so I started to think in the picture one had to go there..
