1994 Holden Commodore VR from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Hey all.

I bought my 94 VR about 2 years ago - 119,000k's on the clock. It's the sound and the power that really does it for me. It's gunmetal black and being the rarer S PAC, it's got that real VR sound when you rev it or even when idle. Although I've had several problems with it, I have not regretted buying it. This all after I've spent over 1600 on a new trans etc. I've also spent countless more on new wheel bearing's (ABS ones), power steering pump, starter motor and more.

It's pickup it's quite unique I think. It's a pity that I have to say good bye to it actually. And it's only got 150,000k's on the clock. It's probably one of the best VR's you will see.

The reason I'm upgrading is I need the safety with the airbags. Currently I've only got a driver's...

Just a question... has anyone had a faulty column shift? I have to shift to drive to get into reverse and into 3rd to get drive etc.

By the way if anyone is interested I'm looking at selling it to someone who will treat it well for no less than 6,000. Could consider a trade in though.

Here I was thinking I was the only one that thought this was an awesome and unique vehicle.

I've had two VR's. One sedan (now gone to make room for my new VZ SV6) but I still have my Vr ute 3 seater on gas. Great cars. Both have done over 250,000 kms. Just recently the ute has come up with the engine light when on the freeway, but when I rev it a little by putting the foot down it stays off for a minute or two. Any ideas?

Also the battery light came on today and went off when I revved it. Now it is staying on all the time. Any idea's?

I have a VR Commodore 1994 manual. I have owned it for the last 12 years. Why has the engine light come on?

Hi, I have a VR Commodore that recently started stalling when slowing down. Then the plastic bit snapped on the engine spilling coolant everywhere, cost $10 to fix. Anyway it stopped stalling until yesterday, before that I had taken it to mechanic and they couldn't find anything wrong. I got my dad to change my oil filter (it needed it) and he said he put some fuel cleaner or something in the petrol. On the way home tonight it started jolting and made what sounded like mini fire crackers out the back, only for a while, and then went fine again. Any ideas? Obviously I am a chick and have no clues!!!

Thanks Zoe.

I have a VR 94 Commodore and the engine light turns on when I put my foot down. When it's cold the car does not change gears, it's like driving in neutral and the revs have to go to like 5 to even get somewhere. It's the worst getting out of first gear... transmission checked, oil checked, got a new fuel pump.. thinking an electrical problem.. any solutions?? Thanks.
