ve commodore

Heya, I broke the nut off my VE's oil filter cap today while trying to bust the bastard loose. I wasn't the last one who serviced it, I guess they did it up way too tight. I went out and got a chain wrench and the rubber style strap wrench from Repco, but couldn't find the oil filter cup...

Hi all, I recently purchased a used VE SV6 wagon, and as I've been driving it over the past few weeks, every few drives I take there is a weird screeching sound, almost like some kind of scoreboard buzzer with the pitch turned up. I've got no clue as to what it could be, I was thinking something...

Following on from a fault on my 2011 VE Series 2 cruise control and considering the number of posts with very similar faults I decided to investigate further around what might be causing these problems. So the cruise control stalk comprises a small circuit board, primarily with 2 x sockets and 1...

My VE Commodore's headliner is sagging, like every Aussie car does :rolleyes: Does anybody have any recommendations of re-upholstery shops in the SE Melbourne area? Would like it to be reasonably priced too... I rang up a re-upholsterer and they quoted about $500... My understanding is that...

I have a series 1 manual VE sv6, have an otr, full exhaust (headers back), intake manifold spacer. Recently got dyno tuned. I have noticed that it still does not cut fuel off throttle (wasn't doing it before, hence one of the reasons for tune). During the Tune, I was told I may have an exhaust...

Hello all. I've found a replacement head unit for my series II commodore. What I now require is my VIN to be reprogrammed. Most of the groups offering to do this are located in Melbourne, Perth and even Adelaide. I have not found any group openly advertising it in Sydney. If anyone knows...

Gday, just wondering how to set the centre cluster to the digital speedo. My car was set to it when I got it but when I received it back from the mechanics and it’s been set to the odometer, cheers

I know the title sounds delusional and I don't really believe this claim either but I'm currently in a debate on the YouTube comments section where this guy is telling me that the LFX in the Commodores supposedly has 240kw like the Camaro, but Holden advertised it with 210kw to meet the...

Hi everyone, proud owner of a 2008 VE Ute with a 3.6L V6. The car initially had issues with the exhaust, which I got replaced, after this I was getting codes such as P0430 and P0420. I decided to buy a TOOLPRO OM126...

Hi, I've got a 2007 VE SV6 and it won't start after an engine swap. I've been told it's most likely the bcm. Are these able to be reprogrammed/reset or do I need a new one?

If anyone in the group is like myself and prefers to do the work rather than get it done, I was quoted over $5000.00 to rebuild and replace the 6L80E 6 speed auto transmission in my WM Caprice 6Ltr. This prompted me to do some searching and I managed to find a GM Goodwrench, Fully...

Just wondering would a G8 GT Front end fit a Vf Commodore or VF GTS

Hey fellas, I have got a 2008 Lumina SS which is similar to Ve Commodore ss I suppose with an L76 V8. The fact that my lumina SS in OMAN is a bit different from my old ss commodore in Australia bothers me hehehe, so I have been trying to convert it to Aussie specs as much as I can. I just wanted...

Posting in general due to it being two very different models, My diver side seat is for better words screwed, lady that owned it before me was.. larger and the bottom is sunk in and the backing has recently finally gave way with no way of it clipping in. Found a killer deal on market place of...

Was out driving last weekend and went off the side of the road. Long story sort bend the rim and snapped the coilover. So now I have to replace the rear coilover but I'm not sure if I want to put another XYZ coilover back in. Would the standard suspension have snapped like that from a similar...

Hi all I had a quick look and couldn't find any forums regarding this topic- if I missed one please forgive me- can you do me the favour of linking it below? thank you. I recently bought a VE SS 2012 and I am beyond disappointed with how sh***y the audio system is in nearly ALL aspects- lets...

Hiya all! Just wondering if anyone had any idea why the display on my stereo isn't working? I have checked fuses under passenger side but nothing has popped. I have an after market head unit hooked up since the day I've had the car, and the display of the time and date has always been there up...

Hey gang, bit of a technical question for y'all. So as you guys probably know I have an SV6 with a functional HSV E1 Bimodal muffler pair that is currently plumbed into my engine through a custom intake spacer. However, I want to be able to have the exhaust turn off as well as be on so as to...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with an intermittent issue I'm having with my VE Commodore (SV6 Series 2). I've searched the internet and this site and found a few suggestions that I have tried but the problem remains. Problem Symptoms: There are two problems I am having; 1. Surging...

Hoping someone can help me identify this paint code. Plate says 609R, however that is Atomic, which is a lighter/green colour. This is a dark green/blue metallic color and for the life of me, I can't find it! Help ☺

Found this great video showing the assembly process of the Alloytec engine. Might help someone. This one is twin turbo, but you get the idea. If only they put a twin turbo 3.6ltr in a Commodore. (Yeah, I know what I'm saying).

Found this juicy nugget of info. So timing chains may not always be why timing is incorrect. Movement of the tone wheel can be a problem. Of course, it means the engine is pretty much fkd. Have to replace the crank...

VE Berlina keeps restarting even when key is off and out off ignition. When car finally turns off, (sometimes restarts itself 10 or so times). When car is off, drains battery to dead flat by morning. I have had checked but auto electrician and computer diagnosis, suggested body control module...

HI people, I had a genuine Golden timing chain kit put in my Commodore VE as it was making a bad rattling noise on the first start most days. Everyone was telling me it was the timing chain as the car has done 234,000km, I picked up the car on a Friday afternoon after the kit was put in and was...

Hi all, 2009 VE omega, I have trawled through as many posts as I can possibly fathom in trying to find any ideas on where my car may be leaking water into the cabin. I have determined that one leak is from around the hvac unit in the firewall so I am sorting that out, but I also have a leak...

My 2012 Series 2 VE Sportswagon won't start. It makes a constant clicking sound which I presume is the starter motor. I bought the car second hand with 80,000km about a year ago. It has been serviced regularly, it's now got 138,000km's on the odo. The weird thing about this is, I serviced the...
