Hey, I have a coolant leak on my Colorado on cold start up, but when warm it is dry. Appears to be coming from where hose clamps on to the oil cooler at the rear of the motor, drivers side. Can’t get a good look but it doesn’t appear to be leaking above this point. Any ideas?
Hey man i had same thing, my brother replaced oil cooler and seems to have stopped leaking there was a little shaving of metal in the oilcooler which thsn cracked allowing oil into water but no water in oil, is it overheating?
It did overheat once, that’s how we found we had the problem. Car is parked out front on grass so never saw the leak. We keep level topped up now so it doesn’t overheat now. Still leaking but.
I have a 2013 Holden Colorado mid range manual and is currently in Mechanic shop for the 150k service Timing Belt replacement etc..Problem is mechanic replaced Timing Belt and car wont start and he has apparently checked everything he knows however with no success..Is there anything you could possibly advise on what maybe the problem..Car has excellent history with one owner being me so I know the vehicle...Any advice would be appreciated at this stage ..He has had it for 2days with no success..
Where is the location of Solenoid
firstly I am assuming that the Colorado motor is at its "roughest" between 2 and 3000 revs because in this rev range it causes a vibration in predominately the left front side of the car . Has been doing this for about 80,000k now and its naturally getting worse. I guess most of you have had a problem and taken it to a mechanic and the bloody thing wont give the symptom at all or only slightly, this is what happened on the several occasions I have taken it to the dealer.The tone of the vibration/growl/noise or whatever you want to call it changes if the road has gentle undulations. I cant do too much investigation myself due to my arthritis but what I have found is in my opinion too much play where the inner front CV joints go into the gearbox ( I dont mean the joint itself but the actual outer body) this I feel would explain the change in tone going over undulations Any one else had this problem ?
The 2.8 Duramax engine produces peak torque between 1,500 and 3000 RPM. they love to pull a load, but one of the possible effects eventually could be left hand engine mount separation. Could be a good idea to take close look at that possibility. While you are at it, check out the transmission mount as well.
I have bluetooth in my 2013 Holden Colorado RG LX and it will connect to calls but it wont connect to music coming from my phone. If anyone can help please text me [details removed]
On the audio screen there is a arrow pointing down. When you press it it will come up with am, pm, and Bluetooth. Hit Bluetooth and it will play music from your phone.
Thankyou! I just recently purchased an Apple car play device for my car. Thankyou anyway
Wanted to replace my 2012 Rg Colorado cabin filter but it doesnt allow access to the filter compartment. Any ideas how to get at the filter without major surgery?
It may not have a cabin filter in it, you have to take the inner glovebox compartment out, think there’s a few 7mm bolts, but when you get to it you may find that where the opening usually is to change them, is actually sealed
I've resolved. It has to be cut out and a clip on cover bought from the manufacturer. The filter cartridge is inserted then the cover clipped on.
I have been having issues with my Colorado turbo diesel RC .
At times it wont start, makes a clicking sound but its not the battery going flat, I can roll the care back and forth and sometimes it will start, sometimes it wont .
I Have cleaned the battery terminals and the battery has charge ! today it started first go but stalled after running for around 5 seconds, I re started it and it done the same thing .
this has been going on now for over a week, its as simple as parking in a shopping centre, returning to the car 20 minutes later and it just clicks like it has a flat battery but the battery has plenty of charge .
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated .
A car battery voltage doesnt determine the true health or its condition. A fully charged battery can still be faulty and not produce enough cranking apps when under load( when starting)
I'd suggest a proper load test be done, and I'm sure you will find it needs a new battery.
Did new battery help? I have the same issue
I had to replace the starter motor on my 2013 RG. Similar issues.
Why won’t my 2013 Colorado start after I disconnected/reconnected my battery?
I have a 2015 Colorado . Battery seems fine, but will not start. Its as if the battery is flat. I tested the battery, 12.7volts and 14.7 when going and charging. Could it be starter motor?
You may have answered the question yourself "Battery seems fine" Its 4 years old. If its ACDELCO have it checked under load at a Battery Shop The batteries were subject to a recall. Mine was replaced F.O.C abt 2015
Thank you . Yes I went and got a new battery.
Did new battery fix it?
Has any one had a problem of a vibration coming through the steering wheel at 2000 RPM. the pump has been changed also the rack, timing belt and puliles checked, vibration can also be felt slightly through the body as well. It has 90000 k, not brakes or wheel balance it is not speed related but Rpm related in any gear at 2000-2100 RPM. Holden are trying to correct from warranty claim but now at a loss where it is coming from? Thanks for any suggestions.
Is it hard to remove engine the 2.8 diesel and can I leave the gear box in
