I have a VS that I love. It is a great car, but when the weather is hot, I have trouble getting the top air con vents to open. I have climate air.
Hey guys, I bought a VS commodore s2 about a year ago and have had no trouble except the steering column makes a grinding noise.
Other than that a fantastic car made by a wonderful company and a major upgrade from a camira.
My son has a VS Berlina, which constantly cuts out whilst he is driving.
The car has been to two separate mechanics, the second of which tested the crank angle sensor and said that was the problem and replaced it. One week later the car is acting up again and has stopped after about 25-30 minutes running time.
This 25-30 minutes seems to be the standard time for the problem to arise (just happens to be about the same time it takes my son to drive home from his girlfriend's place).
Have noted various comments on this problem, some suggest the Crank Angle Sensor, some suggest the key, can I please get some advice?
My son had that problem with a VS Acclaim. We had the crank angle sensor replaced and the fuel pump. It turned out to be damage to the wires from the crank angle sensor where they run under the engine. The wire was disconnecting every now and then, then connecting again when the engine cooled. It was only found when the auto electrician, as a last resort, pulled out the wires and tested them.

My VS wagon also does this. I am no car expert but... I lost control of my wagon in the snow (as ya do haha). Left rear wheel hit the curb. Must have bent the axle or munted the bearings or something. About to look into that, will keep ya posted. Anyone else have any thoughts?
