im tripping out today i got this from a vlt where it said v/n
vl8vk19-A8q

now i entered it as said and nothing comes up i can see some things are matching with the 19 and i know that turbo motors end with A8

can anyone help?

Zanjara · 15-11-04, 19:07

vltrb-0: it wont work with that at all... its the numbers and letters above the vin plates thats how the Vin Calculator works...

whiplash · 13-12-04, 22:18

i hoped that it would tell me if its a executive or something. is executive in the same category as sl

Division: Holden
Luxury Level: Commodore SL

Year: 1987

Serial Number: 37432

8 : K : 19 : 6 : G : L : 2 : 37432 :

SirGeo · 14-12-04, 21:23

yep, an SL is an exec.

duz360 · 14-12-04, 21:28

doesnt a sl have air and power steer and the exec doesnt?

SirGeo · 14-12-04, 21:33

?? wouldn't have a clue.. i just thought they decided to change the naming format, don't quote me on that though :P

Zanjara · 14-12-04, 21:59

an exec come std with aircon and power steering and SL is the base model just like how the exec is today in the new cars... but an exec and SL are pretty much the same thing anyways..

whiplash · 04-01-05, 21:00

aslo how do i tell if it is series one or two

Corsa · 05-01-05, 22:23

The Executive name was an option pack on the SL model that featured two items and they were automatic transmission and power steering. You will not find an executive with either of these two items missing. For those that mentioned Aircon, it was an option even on the Berlina model and only appeared as standard equipment on the Calais model.

VL_Nick · 06-01-05, 00:00

funny, my 86 SL wagon has air con but not power steering. until i fitted it that is. but has drum rear and LSD. I think the LSD was fitted post factory.

whiplash · 07-01-05, 11:21

my exec came with 4 wheel discs, lsd, aircon, powersteering and tacho dash

by the way i thought only berlina and calais had tacho dashes

also mine is a ****ty auto

so does this make it series 2 or 1

Check your mater cylinder to see if it has a 15/16 or a 1 casting. If it has 15/16 then the rear discs will be non factory.
I think the Execs were all Series 2. Not sure though. I have the Genuine holden service manuals and they only state SL, Berline, Calais. No mention of execs.

An easy way to tell if its S2 is if you have black outside door handles. Series 1 has chrome which i much prefer

Corsa · 07-01-05, 22:18

Executive was available accross the entire VL production run and was first seen on the VK model. As i mentioned before an Executive is only an SL with the power steering and auto trans fitted together as a package.

whiplash · 08-01-05, 20:51

well mine has black but im thinking of changing them to chrome cos it goes better with the paint job

it has 15/16 on the master cylinder

does that mean that the master cylinder isnt a 1'' bore?

VL_Nick · 09-01-05, 09:25

yeah, the rear discs will have been fitted later if it has a 15/15 master.

whiplash · 14-01-05, 13:24

so is it or isnt it a 1'' bore on the master cylinder

VL_Nick · 14-01-05, 13:56

no its not a 1" bore, its a 15/16 inch.

87VLCommo · 14-01-05, 21:55

It said there was an error with everything when i entered it

whiplash · 20-01-05, 03:50

ok cool thanks
