Hey all, Been scouring the forum for an answer, can’t really find one for me. Was testing my car out today around the block, probs going max 40kmh, and I hit a shallow pothole and heard a pretty loud clang. Then the sound of something metal dragging. Thought I’d lost my exhaust or something...

I have a 2012 VE sv6 sedan 3.6l. Today I was driving it and the engine light came on. it felt find but i pulled over to check the engine. I don’t know much about engines, but as i pulled up the car was majorly vibrating as I was idle. I got out and had a look and everything looked fine from the...

Hey guys, Replacing my ecu since it’s gone haywire, won’t read through the obd2 scanner, keeps causing misfires and trans shifting issues but goes away when reset then comes back. I’ve read I need a tech2 to pair the ecu and bcm together, will any other scan tool work? Or is there anyway...

Hey guys, been here before, y’all helped heaps. I’ve got a 99’ berlina 3.8 auto, just (yes prepare yourself) had its third engine put in. Last 2 had fucked up valves on both heads. anyway, with the last 2 engines (current and previous) I’ve had issues where under throttle (usually when taking...

Hi all! This is my first time posting so please be kind! Ive recently just got a 08 Wm statesman, and noticed that it’s leaking trans fluid from the trans cooler. My question is.. can you buy just the fitting on its own or do you have to buy the whole kit? Someone mentioned the o ring in the...

Doing a bit of hunting on the shed ornament. Chasing a leak either sump gasket or rear main. I’ve attached a YouTube vid of what I recorded. Around 40-50secs oil can be seen seeping slowly from sump bolt before the bolts that holds sump to rear main seal plate. Towards the end of the vid, the...

Hey all can’t seem to find a way to check for fault codes on an LS1. It’s a 2002 VX Calais. I bridged pins 5 and 6 but looks like that only works for the V6 and 304 engines. Do I bridge different pins or that method is out of the question for the VX LS1s. Cheers

Just bought a 2005 VZ Berlina sedan auto with "Service Vehicle Soon" displayed on the dash cluster, being a little naive thought it was a basic service alert meaning needs oils, air filters etc. The previous owner explained one day the car just would not start (not turn over/start), so she...

Hey all, having trouble with my 95 vs auto’s transmission. I don’t have a wealth of knowledge by any stretch but I’ll give any thing a go, I’ve surprised myself with a few bits of work I’ve done on my car so the hope of DIY-ing it is what brings me here. long story short if I’m cruising along...

Hi guys, I have a 3hfd gearbox that has lost reverse. I dropped the pan off and found the filter has a crack where it tapered to go into the pick up pump. Thinking it could be sucking air instead of fluid. Would this cause loss of reverse but forward gears ok, or do I keep looking. Thanks in advance

Hey guys im ditching the factory transmission cooler in my 2003 LS1 Calais and am wanting to know what hose the fluid flows to the cooler and what hose it returns in as this will effect the new coolers thermo fan switch I've seen some forums say it enters through the lower and then others it...

Hey guys, (sorry this is a long one) I don't think anyone will really be interested, but I'm so excited i wanted to share with you guys. I've been working after school and on the weekends for many years now and have finally turned 18. I had saved up quite alot as I rarely ever spent my money...

Thinking of buying these as a quick replacement for my 2008 SV6 as I plan to get the stock ones painted, will these fit fine?

Hi all, I'm absolutely stumped And can't figure it out for the life of me. I have have a Jan build 2001 vx ss Auto and recently have rebuilt The gearbox. Upon the vehicle being returned I noticed that I don't seem to have any reverse lights. I've checked the bulbs they seem fine, I've checked...

Hi all, I own a 2005 Holden Adventra which has a 5 speed transmission. The transmission was rebuilt by a reputable company in October of 2020 and was found that it failed because of the torque converter. It worked well for a couple of months (about 10,000km) before it had to go in again over new...

Hey people I’ve recently purchased a auto vy but I’ve noticed getting it into drive is hard when pulling it straight down but when I pull it to the the right/left and down it goes into drive like it should. I know it isn’t the trans itself.

Hi everyone. I've tried searching but no one else seems to have quite the same issue as me. Car is a 1999 VT Berlina, series 2, auto, L67. 290000km on it. Current mods are 10psi pulley, 1.95:1 roller rockers, W2A intercooler, Mace CAI, Mace memcal, ported supercharger and 82° thermostat. ---...

Hello! So recently we have started changing the speakers out in my VE SV6 and we've had the issue that the rear speakers when balanced all the way to the rear can be barely heard on max volume. The speakers at the front are working perfectly but the rear speakers are very quiet. Is this an amp...

Hi everyone, A few weeks back I made a post asking about installing a transmission cooler on my SV6, and how to go about it. I finally got all the parts I needed and put it in the car on Tuesday. Right now it seems to be doing just fine with zero leaks and still getting up to temperature, so I...

Hi everyone, Looking at installing a cooler on my car when I do a transmission fluid (& filter) change. What type of fittings/lines do I need to install the cooler in-line (after the radiator cooler tank thing)? Also, how do I go about it? Do I have to cut the 'out' oil line from the radiator...

I've got a 4L60E transmission behind a 355 stroker (original VT SS 5.0L) that was running fine, but now I have an issue where I can't get any drive in 4th gear. I can accelerate through 1st, 2nd and 3rd to 100km/h, as soon as i back off, my revs drop back to idle as if the box is neutralising...

Hi everyone, Been doing a couple of things to my VZ recently and was wondering if it would be too late to change the trans. fluid at 174,000 km? I bought the car at 161,000 and don't have any books pre-140,000 other than service stamps (no detailed descriptions of the services) so I'm unsure...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right spot to be posting this, so point me in the right direction if not! :) Anyway, I bought myself an '04 SV6 (Auto) a couple of months ago to replace my 1st car which was a very unreliable BMW 320i (Only thing I miss is that it was manual :(). I...

Hi everyone, so my 2009 ve sv6s transmission is playing up again, 5l40e but not the origional box as that failed a while ago also. The model code on the side of the origional is a 9ghk unsure on the current one but was completely different. just wondering a berlina 9hk will work as a...

Hey guys I've got a ve commodore 3.6l alloytec it has just suddenly started violently shakeing and stalling plus misses when revving (sounds like a lawn Mower) but on the rare occasion it will idle and drive fine. Since then I've tested the injectors, replaced the coils, checked for vaccume...

Hi Guys, Long time no post.. Wondering if the LS1 A4 experts would care to give me their opinion. Got a rattle heard best from underneath the car near the trans bellhousing as seen in video. Here's the link: Can anyone confirm my suspicions? I always thought I had a bit of lifter tick that...

I've read lots on this, I have done 140K km and time to change the fluid, my question is, what is the easy way to get the fluid back in the transmission? I was thinking to pump through a hose connector that screws in to the drain plug then follow the level check, then remove the connector. If...

To put an 05 VZ alloytec and 6sp manual box into an Auto 06 VE Omega, would that be a stuff about or what? How would I go about doing that with the possibility the ecu and computer won’t plug in. Worked on about every other car bar a Holden.

Back again. The car is idling rough and revving rough. VY Berlina series 2, V6 Auto, petrol When stationary in Drive, it idles at about 1500-2000rpm and essentially takes off on its own, even on small slopes. When in Park, it idles at 2000-2500rpm. Revs don’t drop much when slowing down...

My 2008 VE has been playing up a bit in 4th gear. Other than the stutter in 4th gear it runs great. When I lightly accelerate to bring my speed up in 4th gear, my car jerk and sputters as if its struggling to change gear. ATM I am putting my foot down the bit extra to kick it down into 3rd gear...

Hi guys, have owned this wagon for 5 months now and haven't had this issue before. Just took it on an hour and a half - 2 hour drive this morning, and no problems. Got home, went inside for about half an hour before jumping back in the car. As soon as I turned it back on, instantly started...
