Can u show us how to do a new key on the last scanner?

Thanks.

I’ve told myself to get OEM next time.

Where's part 2

There must be lots of commodores out there ,about this year model that have seat issues. This video could help a lot of people ( including me) . Thanks for sharing.

Cheers for that bro normally my seat sitting in the driveway for the cat or the dog to sleep on🤣👌🏼

Thanks for doing this one. This is the exact job that I had planned on my VY Storm. The original storm seats were both totally collapsed and split so I swapped in some better executive sedan seats. However the drivers seat still has the same damage that your one had ( but worse) My plan was to chase down a good executive passenger seat for a usable back! Thanks again for making that just a bit easier now! ;)

Did it leak?? I have just done the exact same thing as you, used the old o ring on the new pump because the new one was too big.

Just found your channel. I'm locked in mate. Doing it to my vz

Hey mate i have same issue, mechanic wants to charge me a bit to get it fixed. Im going to pick up the new slip ring tomorrow $148 then i watched your video, is it really that easy to install it? If so, I'm going to do it myself aha but take my time putting it back on the ignition barrel. My battery also is under 11.87V when idling my fuel consumption is crap, also a new battery would help do you recommend?

Thanks for the insight into this job mate 👍 much appreciated 👏

My son and I are servicing his Vz commodore. We're watching many of your videos on how not to mess up. Could you use a trolley jack with a block of wood to hold the pan up in a level position?

I saw a video of a bloke using a small dob of super glue in multiple spots to hold the gasket in place for fitting. Superglue dries hard and cork is soft. So it seems that that approach would be dodgy perhaps. Another fella uses 250 ml of an additive which may help the gearbox oil do its thing. What are your thoughts on doing such things. Thx

Having the car on an angle, does it really matter much in regard to the oil level when refilling? I gather you’ve done it loads of times without an issue. Also that’s a V6 with the 5L40e?

I’d love to see you give the motor a refresh.

Very helpful , thanks

how are you meant to get to the fuel pump on a vy sedan?

Fuck I ripped that part off

Awesome job mate from Adelaide

Also, can ou do a video of change the boots on the rack. thanks

Love your video. but the reverse image was confusing. I've never done this before. I have a 2005 VZ Commodore Lumina. Can you add or list the types of grease you used for the caliper bolts and the metal clips etc. pls. is it important to tighten all the bolts to a specific torque? thx. mark

How did u go cleaning the engine

brand is delphi

vehicle is vy 3.8lt

hi mate ,i fitted a brand new genuine unit and adhered to fitting requirements(thermal grease)unit lasted one to two weeks,fitted old unit and still running good a year later.

I would probably suggest masking up with a chemical mask when doing these .. I realise you need to talk .. however I hear what you are saying I have replaced quite a fuel filters I end up getting high quite a few times

It looks like you have your car on a milk crate shurely not!

Its a bit disappointing watching a grown man working on the ground like a caveman ( get a bench with a vice)

Repack where the rubber has split with sika polyurethane filler/ glue from bunnings it’s 32 dollars a tube but works well. I did this as a quick temp fix and it has lasted 2 years. My centre bearing was in good condition.

Kill a T-shirt, old boy 😁👌

If have a ve commodore with controll arms that look like this. The nut that on the bolt that goes through the fat end that goes onto the car body. Well the nut is welded on. You need to undo the bolt. I found out the hard way 🤷 2:45 2:48

🎉😊thanks mate. Perfect teacher.

That bloke has an excellent channel, he makes it look easier than it really is. This is one of the better vids I have seen up close on how to remove. Yes they are really painful. The tools do work, but sometimes the spring can corrode up a lil. Its that pulling back of the tool and line then trying to twist off which makes it tricky. I seen some people just cut all these lines and replace with hose clamps. But these fittings are safer. Duct tape over the tabs and vice grips can free up some of the hands. Holden could of also found a better spot to put it. Again, great video.

Aren't they LSD with the tag ?

Interesting vid. We don't see the DFI or paste go in and 90% seeing the coils go in. The rubbers are the spares of what you see in your module. On old ones these end up melting. Kepe up the good work.

Just did this on mine, the replacement white clips didnt fit and the old ones were broken. The Sukura filter comes with the correct black clips but be warned they are fragile.. Tempted to modify to hose and hose clamps!

Thanks for the lesson.

love how you shared everything.... even the struggles of a stubborn bolt because thats exactly what ill encounter trying this myself thanks for the help.

How to remove handbrake cable???

Great vid mate...a few funny lines.....love your content and keep them coming........have you got any suspension work coming up???

Could you do a video on changing out the lifters in the future

the problem is,that there is a little 'nub' underneath the top,which holds on to the rubber ring...either file it off or have another person use a strong piece of flat wood against the top lip pushing down so it will seal and you can get the circlip on.The Original part does not have the 'nub' underneath which makes it completely flat and easier to fit.Always use Genuine Holden Parts.

Ok does the manuals you have got pin out for ecu for VY VZ

Ve 2009 3.6 ecu pin out locations please Cheers

good vid any info on commadore wiring diagrams cheers leigh

Thanks mate. Got a 5L VT SS I want to do these on, and when I seen how little room there is on the drivers side, needed to see a video like yours. 😁

The main problem with the Alloytec, given their propensity to use oil, was the factory service interval of 15K km; which is waaay too high, even for synthetic oil and particularly for stop-start, short distance city driving. Change the oil on one of these Ecotecs that have done 15K km or so & you'll usually see big gloops of sludge plopping out of the oil-pan drain hole; look on the underside of the oil filler-cap and there'll usually be a build-up of sludge (often milky) on it. Any modern high-interference engine with twin overhead chain-driven camshafts and VVT cam phasers (particularly where it also has a poorly-designed PCV system resulting in poor crankcase ventilation and a tendency to build sludge deposits) needs clean, young oil at all times in order to function properly, otherwise things will go horribly wrong. I religiously change the oil on all my engines (pushrod or OHC, doesn't matter) at 6K km and have never had an issue related to sludging or oil starvation.

Good video cheers, can confirm this videos accurate for VX series 2 aswell!

What springs do you have in the front?

Sorry to be a bother again when you finished fitting the balancer you forgot to check the clearance with a feeler gauge between the balancer vanes & CAS. Oh and on the belt fitting we all got caught trying to work the puzzle on how it goes on by guessing.🧐
