noise

I’ve recently bought this vz 2005 sv6 commodore, and two months into it the rattling clutch sound progressively got worse over time. Ever since I dumped the clutch at 4000 rpm’s to do a skid the clutch rattling has gotten worse. I’m thinking it’s the bearing but need reassurance from you guys...

Here we go again VY V6 2004 I replaced the LIM gaskets and water pump. After starting car it idles really rough as if it’s missing or vac leak. During the LIM gasket repair I removed the alternator and found the worst wiring job that goes to the alternator plug/reg. I cut and soldered similar...

Hey guys, here again. So I have two weird problems with my Commodore VE Ute 2008 5spd automatic. 1) the car has recently gotten a gearbox change, (torque converter stayed the same) and after driving it for a while I realised that it does not rev past 5,000RPM. I used to be able to go past it...

Hi everyone, I am still driving my Holden VY Acclaim Station Wagon from 2003 and it has done me very well. But recently in the last 6-8 months I think, it has started to make this noise while the engine is warm. It is much louder when it is in Drive or Reverse...

When i opened up the middle seat when i was driving i can hear a gliding noise that gets faster when you get faster you can also hear it very faintly without the middle seat being down (vt commodore sedan)

I’ve recently started getting an unusual noise in my MY10 SV6 manual ute. It happens mainly as I reach high revs, about 3k+, and is most obvious when letting off the throttle. Upshifting stops the noise once you release the clutch and the revs drop. If you let off the throttle without shifting...

This recently started happening and I’m kinda not sure what it could be. Only happens after acceleration.

Hi all, First time poster. For all of you trying to identify the dredded LS lifter tick I think I've got a video for you. It annoyed me that I couldn't find any decent videos of VE commodores with this issue, so thought I'd put one up. The car has 90k km (900km from me). Knock on wood I...

Hi everyone My car have been making this annoy “vu vu vu” noise for a while, only does it in motion, noticeable from 40km/h on wards, most noticeable on smooth roads at around 60km/h. The frequency increases with speed, at 80+km/h it becomes more like a constant humming/rubing sound and is...

Hi all, be gentle, this is my first time. So I'm a first time ss owner. I am wondering if anyone can tell me anything I can do to lower drone between 1500 and 2500rpm? I've got cams, headers and 3inch exhaust system with no muffler, just hotdogs..And also, if you live in Brisbane, the best SS...

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...

Hi all, I acquired a 2010 VE Commodore International. There is a rattle sound coming from the passenger side engine bank. It is noticeable only at low revs. When the engine idles at +-1100rpm, there is no rattle. When it drops to +-550rpm it starts to rattle. The engine has 150kms on it. It...

Hey guys, My VU ute is making an awful creak when turning at low speed (car park, round a bout etc) but it only seems to do it in the hot weather like this heat wave and only after the car has been driven for about 30 minutes... The power steering fluid is full, not leaking etc Can't see any...

Hey guys, I'm new here and just have a few questions. So I've had my sv6 for 3 years purchased from holden. Since it was 2ndhand dealership they only warrant for 3 months. Within that 3 months my timing chains went, so lucky i was covered. Had the car serviced regularly up until about 3...

Hi I realise that people have probably brought up issues like this in the past but now that the vehicles have been out for a couple of years I thought it might be better if I just made a new post... Basically when I get underneath my car I can hear a tick sound that sounds very similar to an...

Hello Everyone, I have a noise coming from the air conditioning compressor like a bad bearing noise. Noise is only there when A/C is on. Anyone familiar with this noise ??? Could it be clutch issue ? Could it be a coil issue ? Looks like i have a leak around one of the pipes so probably...

Hey guys. New to this. But my 2004 VY Berlina sedan makes a constant clunking/knocking noise whenever I’m steering right. It doesn’t happen when I turn left or if I’m going straight. The faster I accelerate while turning right the faster the noise. I suspect a strut issue but was wondering what...

So it started around 2-3 months ago when I had come back from work and started driving my car out of the car park. Upon going over a speed bump in the carpark I could hear this clunking noise emitting from the front left wheel arch. For the entirety of the drive home, any mediocre bump would...

Hi all My VZ Calais is going strong with 280k on the clock, driving around 500 highway kilometres a week. In the past few months, when the engine is cold (weather isn't cold up in Central Queensland) and parked on the flat, there is a noise for the first few seconds on start up. The noise...

Hi! Anybody got any ideas on what kind of exhaust setup I should go with for the Calais? I love the sound it makes already, but i'd really just like a bit more volume, the thing's almost too quiet as it stands :P All stock currently, not even entirely sure of the engine model, but it's the...

Hi all I got a vf ute ssv man and i want to put an exhaust on it but no sure what type...main thing im looking for is to get some sound without disrupting the air compressing. I was thinking leaving it from the cat where it has the big muffler and the hotdogs and just changing it from the 2...

A new day, a new problem in my commie. I have bought and fixed everything that's related to the undercarriage of the car, and that includes control arms, most of the bushings, engine & tranny & diff & suspension mounts, etc... Now, I hear a squeaking coming from the rear left side when driving...

Hi. I bought a VF series 2 SV6 last year and noticed just before its first service a whirring/clicking noise like putting a pen in a fan. The holden dealership said it was "characteristic of the car". I'm not sure if the noise is getting worse, or I'm getting more annoyed by it. I've never...

Hi everyone, A couple of days ago I bought my first Commodore, a 2007 Calais 3.6 with 116,000 on the clock and I'm pretty stoked with it! Drives beautifully and is such a smooth and powerful beast compared to the '03 Astra 1.8 it replaced. But I've noticed with the Calais a strange noise...

On a trip from Qld to NSW, I started to notice a fairly loud clatter in my VE SS (170k km) when decelerating by manually down-shifting the auto. The noise seems to be coming from the front of the car (?) but the tempo seems to better match the car speed rather than the engine speed. Don't seem...

Had this for a while now, sound like an air leak coming from somewhere. Have done a quick check on all the hoses and everything and can't come up with anything, its an obvious air leak coming from somewhere, car is a VT v6ecotec There are no symptoms associated with this other than the noise...

I have a 2011 SV6 VE thunder Ute, 68,000kms, Auto and stock. About 6 months ago I started hearing a hissing type noise after backing off the throttle around 4000 or higher RPM. I checked the oil and found my dipstick was dry. After taking it straight to holden for a service and check, I was...

So I went to the mechanics and they said it was a water pump. 300$ later, the noise is still there. Please help The noise goes away as soon as the temp guage starts to raise. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLIo2TWjPHE <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Hey Guys I just recently bought a VZ Berlina 2006 and the service history was great but become abit wonky after 100,000 was bought from a dealer and he said he was not sure however he confirmed last service was done at 137,000 Car is currently is 140,500 and i have noticed a ticking noise...

this has been around for a while havnt really looked into it, sounds like a clatter and turns into a tap at higher revs around 3k, i know its not lifters because i replaced them because of a few faulty ones. Sounds like it is coming from the front of the engine, could it be a chain clutter? or...

https://youtu.be/dcXB1zJYUmc Hi guys. I get a lot of information from this site so a big thank you to all the contributors! My problem as can be seen in the video is my 1997 VT Commodore Exec 3.8l Auto running on gas and petrol making a squeal or squeak noise when accelerating. As soon...

Hey guys the car is an 04 vz 175kw The car seems to be making a scraping noise (not crunching grinding slapping) Im not by my car atm but the best way to describe it would be the metalic scraping noise a pod filter makes The car doesnt do it at idle only when accelerating around 1700+...

Hi guys, recently in my 04 statesman I've been hearing a loud clunk from the rear left when I'm turning right. I don't hear the noise when driving normally, over bumps etc. Please help with any ideas

Hey Guys, this is my first post to not only this forum, but first post ever, so I'm probably completely in the wrong spot or something aha So i bought this 04 Calais as a first car a while ago, and ever since having it, it has this whistling noise when you travel at speeds (anything above...

Hi guys! Driving the vs ute today and occasionally when driving it gets a shocking vibration through the whole car. The best way i can describe it is it sounds exactly like you have driven over the bumpy road markings on the edge of a highway! Only happens occasionally for 2-3 seconds at speeds...

Well basically my Ute has started to make a pretty noisy whine sounds like from the diff or gearbox, it doesnt seem to make the noise while the clutch is in. Just wondering if anyone would have any ideas into whether it's a diff problem or gearbox problem???

Installed a new rack because old rack was leaking and 1 month later steering is making a weird rattling noise. Only happens when stationary or reversing also happens when the engine is cold or hot ,all fluids are fine and no leaks.Suspension bushings all good Steering is little bit stiff...
