Ute VE (2007-2013)

Hi. I am looking to purchase a 2009 Omega UTE for my daily drive. It has 230km on it. The engine sounds good, and both the interior n exterior has been well maintained.

Never owned a UTE before, so am looking for some advice. Thoughts?

Hi
I recently purchased a 2008 ss VE ute, very clean with 170k's. the car is great, but in the 3 weeks I've owned it i have experienced a failure to start...the engine fires, then dies, as if the fuel pump has been shut off. After 2 or 3 attempts it always starts, but this is an intermittent fault....it will be fine for a few days and then it recurs. Would a plug in scanner like an OBD 2 reveal what the problem is? The car is my pride and joy and i was just hoping for some advice.
Cheers
p.s. Car is 6 Litre auto

Ute VE (2007-2013)

Hi, I’ve owned my ss thunder 2012 6.0L ve series 2 manual. So far I’ve had the OTR, 3Inch catback from the heads, and a cam package.ive been haveing major issues with the fuel pump in the last year. I’ve gone through 4 fuel pumps and I do t do burnouts etc. we have reorder twice from Holden and have tried customs ones but still haveing issues. The pump won’t complete die, it’s sometimes starts and then sometime it won’t. The times when it doesn’t start I get under where the fuel tank is and smack it a couple of times and the pump kicks back in, this goes on for about 3 months and then out of nowhere she won’t start. Any ideas please? I’m in need of a different solution besides fuel pump? Could anything else be affecting the pump. ? I really want this fixed cause it is starting to bug me and I think I might just sell it. Cheers Bryan

Could be a relay or sensor issue, any fault codes showing up ?

Chances are the root cause of the problem isn't the fuel pump. If it was mine I would Check/replace the fuel pump relay as it may have dodgy contacts. High resistance in the relay contacts could cause the pump to be running on a lower voltage than required causing premature failure? For what they cost I would change it anyway as they do wear out. Check voltage on the pump when its running with a volt meter.
Another potential problem could be low voltage? The charging voltage needs to be checked with a volt meter. 14.4 volts comes to mind but im not sure on a series 2. Again im not sure if it is ECM controlled or done with an internal regulator? The alternators don't last as long as they should in these
The car must have been tuned for the cam and depending on how big it is it may be maxed out ? Pumps run for a long time usually unless contaminated or overworked. Does it hold pressure in the rails when turned off? Is the tank clean?

Ute VF (2013-2017) (2013-2017)

Hi All! I've been a Holden man all my life from the time I bought my first car an HT Holden right thru till I just bought my first ever brand new car a vf sv6 ute only had it a few weeks, any way I have noticed that after about an hour or so driving I start to get a sore lower back from the seating position I've tried raising the seat lowering the seat, back of seat forward and back lumbar support, etc. I noticed the same problem in the commodore cars we drive at work but just put it down to the seats being well worn after 300,000 plus klms. My last car a 2000 model vs commodore the seats were fine my vx was fine my vt was fine. It feels like the back of the base of the seat needs to be raised a bit, has anyone else got the same problems or a solution to the problem? My wife has a Mazda cx5 and the seats in it are excellent.

Hi Mike
I've just sold my 2007 E63 Mercedes at 250,000 ks - and I did get a sore back from driving it. My (much newer) VF ute gives me no problem. I think as we age we need excellent seats, any fault such as minor sagging causes us problems, young guys can sit on milk crates without issue, but we need the support.

Easier to take it to an auto glass professional. It is a pain to pull out and replace without the correct tools.

Ute (2013-2017)

I have a my12.5 sv6 ve ute manual. It was having intermittent gear box issues. At times when i pulled up to a set of lights it would not go back into 1st gear. It was like something was blocking it from going into gear.every time I took it to the dealer they couldn't fault it. holden replaced the gearbox even though they couldn't fault the car. Now I'm getting a rough idle and shudder through the shifter. Again every time I take it to holden they say no fault codes are present when we plug it in to our diagnostic
computer. I'm getting it independently tested on Saturday. This is after taking holden to the consumer tenancy and trade tribunal over the same issue with my 2011 sv6 ute. Again holden are saying they are unable to replace or refund the vehicle. I'm sure everyone has similar stories re poor service has anyone had this gearbox issue?

Hello,
I have a SS Storm 2014 manual. I have not had any real issues with the car. The shudder you talk about, sometimes in traffic, I get a shudder, but I think it is down to me, with clutch operation, as with normal driving I don't have any problems. The ute has 11,000 klms on it now, and fuel economy is starting to shine. 8.7L per 100klms. I used to have a Nissan 300zx manual and the gearbox was like trying to get thru a box of gravel when changing gears. On advice, I changed the oil to an oil that was $160 a litre. It was unbelievable, it was a completely different gearbox. Gear selection was smooth and precise, both up and down change. I think the oil was Redline, and it was Blue.

Not sure though you could try comparing them to other vehicles on sale on cars magazine or the classifieds in the newspaper / you could also try online such as gumtree Australia on the internet
