Going to give my 2011 VE2 SV6 a good flush out this weekend, see if I can clear some more sludge up a bit. Last time I went to SCA, there were quite a few different brands of oil flush, so I wasn't too sure which one to choose. Is there one you guys would recommend that does a good job? Or...

So my VE2 SV6 that I literally just bought a month ago is having so many issues that I'm literally just done with it. I'm going to get rid of it and finance a VF. I had a VF SSV S1 a couple cars ago and loved it, wished I never traded it in! But I can't decide now if I spend around the...

So if you've been following my story for the last few weeks, basically Holden have told me I need to replace my Camshaft actuators to get rid of the ticking noise in my VE2 SV6. They have told me the tech is "extremely confident" in the fix solving everything. And have quoted $2870 If this...

I'm hearing it's quite simple, just trying to find some kind of guide, so I know for sure I can't stuff it up!

So I've been reading a few things here and there about ticking coming from my S2 SV6 and before I do what Holden want, and replace the engine, I figure there's no harm in trying a few things. So I want to try replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid, found this part on ebay; Genuine Holden VE Commodore...

Hey guys, Quick question. As I noticed that the car I bought recently (found out afterwards, it had been in a collision, so the front bar was replaced), I didn't realise the front bar was the same as the series 1 on mine. But I'm curious, is it difficult to fit a new front bar to these cars...

Hey guys, Been a while since I've had a Commodore, but here goes. Just picked this thing up over the weekend. So far loving it, it looks real nice. One issue with it, which I posted about in the VE forum which I'll hopefully have sorted in the next couple days. But anyway.. Current ...

Hey guys, So I posted last week looking at SV6's and anyway, long story cut short, I bought one over the weekend. It was a Series 2, in Black with 115k's. Anyway, I took it for a good drive before buying and all seemed well. There was a few cosmetic problems so I ended up bartering down...

Hey guys, Basically I'm getting a VE again.. I don't have a lot to spend and I have a few options. I can't decide which way to go. I'm wanting to try make a decision this weekend. 2006 VE SV6 - Orange Good: Leather seats, new transmission under 12 months ago. Specs: 195k Needs...

ITEM: White on Black Slim Plates for 06LVF, meaning 6 Litre VF. I traded my VF in for a Colorado (stayed with Holden) so have no need anymore. PRICE: $300 LOCATION: Mackay, QLD DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Pickup in Mackay or can ship anywhere in QLD for $15. PAYMENT OPTIONS: COD, Direct...

Probably been posted but can't find it or are searching for the wrong thing.. I'm in the process of wiring up a small sub and amp to my SSV. But I just need to know the wiring diagram for the speakers, so I know which ones to cut to tap into for high range etc. Also any recommendations for...

Anyone know how to remove this in the VF SSV? I've had my service done, but I don't like taking it to Holden. Some have said turn it off, depress the accelerator 3 times and turn back on, but that didn't seem to work?

Has anyone got this upgrade or not yet or know if it would be worth that $15k? It sounds like a alot but comes with a fair bit, the only thing I see missing myself is the exhaust system. Would like to know thoughts ? WP230 Supercharger Package « Horsepower Factory

hey guys, Been a while since I've posted here. But I just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to change this; When you start the car (SSV) by default as far as I can see it comes up with the Seatbelt detector on the Speedo screen... And then you gotta press the Menu button to get rid of it...

All I can say.. Is OMG I love it! So happy with this purchase!! These are a couple quick photos and will take more later on when I have more time!! Future Mods: The only thing right now is a 3 inch Manta Cat Back system that I want to get very soon. I want a full system with Extractors...

But I'm unsure what size the pipes are. Is there an easy way to find out if they are 2.5 or 3 inch? I know they have 3 inch tips. I was told when I bought it, that it was 3 inch cat back.. But knowing the dealer I bought it from it wouldn't surprise me if that is wrong. The reason I need to...

Not sure if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find it.. I'm curious what kind of deal others have gotten on their VF's? Simply, because I'm looking at one myself.. Still a little torn between my decision though to upgrade or wait longer (maybe prices might come down.. ?) I'd like...

This has probably been covered and if so, Sorry... Just link me to where I can find it. As my searches came up pretty dry.. But what's the difference between 4 into 1: 1”5/8 primary , 2.5” secondary; 4 into 1: 1”3/4 primary , 3” secondary; 4 into 1: Step-up (1"5/8 to...

This has probably been covered already but I didn't really know what to search. Basically I want to make my exhaust just that little bit louder... But I also don't want to cause too much discomfort in the car while driving. What would be the easiest/cheapest thing I can do to get some more...

3 times in the last month it has come off... And I only drive the car on weekends, so thats quite frequently to come off. What would cause this? The first time it came off I replaced the Tension Pulley for it and the belt. Any ideas? What can I do? It's not something that I plan on...

Okay... So I've had the 09 SS Since December... And only put 3000ks on it. I only drive it on weekends. So it's had a new harmonic balancer and all pulleys replaced due to loud squeaking. Up until the weekend the air con hasn't been working for 3 weeks... Till I noticed that the belt...

I know it's been covered already but I just have a quick question, who does the reprogramming for the IQ Units? I have one coming for my Series 1 SS and need to send it somewhere for programming. Wanting to know who does it and how much :) THanks.

We are trying to fit some leds under a ve Calais. The only place we are aware of to run the down cable Is the clutch firewall hole (auto). .. is there somewhere else as this hole is a PITA to get to...

VT II - VE GEN IV BALANCERS - Mace Engineering Group Which one do I want? I'm a little confused... I heard someone tell me that a street/race one would be good as it'll help with performance or some such jazz. Had the mechanic tell me today mine is fried... So I'm going to supply the...

Hey guys, Just been having this issue for the last few days now... When I'm above speeds of 110km/hour and go to slow down the whole car starts to shudder.. I thought maybe a wheel alignment might be in order? Anyone shed some light on this for me?

So, this might have been asked already but my search skills suck lol... Basically just want to know if there's a way to rig up a remote terminal wire to the existing head unit in the Series 1 SS (2009). Currently I run my system to a manual on/off switch sitting in my centre console that I...

Hey Guys, So tonight had a bit of a fiddle with my car and removed the intake from the engine bay. After putting it back on the engine light is now coming back on... My mate and I attached an OBD tool to it and the only error other than unknown ones are just saying cylinder misfire. The...

So got my v8 (L98) 2009 SS and have noticed a bit of a squeal ... worst on a cold start. But noticeable at all times. I'm wondering... as I've done some Googling and it appears to be pretty common for the balance pulley to become wobbly which is what's happening here... Can anyone tell me...

Hey guys, So I've finally got my first V8! Picked it up yesterday. Have already done just over 200kms in it in 4 hours around town and averaging 18.8L/100k LOL. But so fun to drive! A massive upgrade from the SV6 IMO The night time pics aren't too flash as it was only with my phone. But my...

Sigh... Holden - SUV set to replace Commodore | GoAuto This... Would suck. However will most likely make VE/VF's worth a mint in the future...

I can't quite decide which way to go.. It'll be my first V8... I'm thinking either -Brand new SS (spend 10k on mods) -Brand new SS-Z Series (spend 5kish on mods) -Used (2010ish) E2 HSV Clubsport (no money left to mod at the start) I plan on doing a few things such as cam, exhaust...

Any ups or downs??? What's the deal... I saw them on the net and went to check at Holden today and they look amazing... Just want to see if anyone knows if there is a reason to NOT get one.

Just wanting to get an idea of what gloss or matte black SSV wheels would look like on Ignition Orange. Obviously the picture attached isnt my car. But it's just for an idea :) Doesn't have to be a perfect job.

So, I've decided to start doing a few things to the SV6 after having it just over a year now I believe. Firstly I want to start by blending the interior a different colour to match all the red dash and everything. Was thinking of getting, eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion...

So, as I haven't had the time in quite a while for many reasons which I won't bother going into, my SV6 hasn't been serviced in almost 25,000km's. Don't yell at me >_< Lol Anyway, obviously the Oil is like black sludge, my question is, I'm servicing it myself tonight as I finally have a...

Hey guys, Haven't posted on here in a while, been busy and all that jazz. Anyway, I'm wanting to upgrade my current 2008 VE SV6 in December (2012). I can't decide what to go for.. Can I get some more help from you guys on this to help me out with my decision. Basic must haves are Manual...

This question has more than likely been asked but I'm not sure exactly what to search for, so thought this would be easier... How do you go about setting up a sub / amp system in the VE SV6 using the standard head deck? I've heard you need to get some RCA conversion? I just can't think of...

Just wondering how easy/difficult it is for some to do an exhaust fit themselves of something like this: Here : for a SV6? Like, is it a process of lifting the car, bolting some crap on and away she goes? Or is it safer to get a pro to do it all and not go through eBay? EDIT: Yes, I know there...
