    Shocks for a VZ Wagon (Country Pack)

    I've recently decided to fix up my suspension, mostly by replacing bushings. I've been trying to look for a set of rear shocks after discovering that my shocks were both leaking, and get this, the previous owner bodged one of the shocks with what appears to be a sedan shock! No wonder the car...

    VZ service manual

    Is there any way to get a copy of the Holden Service Manual that covers the VZ (not the Hayne's or Max Ellery one that's mostly about the EcoTec?). This seems to be an impossible thing to acquire!

    Oil filter cap, how to get it off?

    I've now fixed up my car's electronics, which was a royal pain. I need to change its oil and filter, but have the infamous galled oil filter cap problem, I've probably put 2x the force required to crack the wheel lug nuts using a 60cm breaker bar and it still won't move! At this point I'm afraid...

    ECU programming TIS2Web advice

    I've got a VCX Nano programmer coming in for my VZ today, following on from this thread. Excited! I'm wondering which subscription I need to get to flash the right VIN and updates to the car? I'm hoping to get the 24 month "Vehicle Programming Software" subscription but since I'm changing the...

    Howto: Adjusting VZ accelerator pedal trim

    The VZ has a drive-by-wire system that seems to lack the immediate responsiveness of a throttle cable system implemented in the EcoTecs and prior. Particularly, there seems to be about a 10mm pedal travel (or deadzone) before the ECU starts to increase revs, giving a delay in the engine kicking...

    Reprogramming a VZ

    Anyone a vehicle programming whiz? I'm thinking about purchasing a programmer for my car so I can get the ECU/BCM/PIM options set correctly for my vehicle. I recently purchased a new ECU/BCM/PIM to replace the dead one to get my car roadworthy (passed 1st try, yay!) but there are still some...

    Anyone with a tech2 able to reprogram a VZ ECU Plug and Play kit?

    I've got a VZ ECU/PIM/BCM kit on the way, after finding out too late that the VZ is notorious for cooked ECUs causing cylinder misfires! In this case, the ECU failed to fire the #3 injector! Turns out that the 2nd hand car dealer sold me a car claiming an ignition coil needing replacement when...

    Plug and Play ECU, engine prefix different

    I've got a VZ Wagon with a LE0 HBA engine with a dead ECU. I'm wondering if something like the link below will get it running and roadworthy? The only other available HBA security kits seems to be sedans, not wagons. My main concern is that the engine it came out of is a HBM and that the PIM +...
