Holden Commodore 1996 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Holden Commodore 1996 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Holden Commodore: High fuel consumption

    Check the air/fuel ratio to see if it’s running rich. I would guess it thinks it’s running cold, but as you’ve changed the oxygen sensors and the temperature sensor I would focus on the ECU.

  • Holden Commodore: Leaking coolant

    The engine is overheating, that's the gauge is telling you. You need to have a mechanic check it; any number of things could be causing it, from a blocked radiator to a blown head gasket. It's nothing to do with the grille.

  • Commodore has poor fuel consumption

    I would expect your car to return around 11.0 L/100 km, so yours is very poor as you say. You would have to allow for slightly higher fuel consumption due to wear on the engine, loss of compression etc., but I would still expect that you should get around 12 L/100 km. I would be checking the basics, like spark plugs, spark plug leads, air filters, fuel-injectors, and throttle body to make sure they are all in tip-top shape; then look at sensors like the oxygen sensor to make sure they are conveying the correct signal to the engine computer.

  • Sporadic start issues in Holden Acclaim

    It would seem either the ignition switch or the neutral/park safety switch is faulty. I would guess it's the former. A mechanic or an auto electrician should be able to fix it for you.
