Holden wasn\u2019t trying to reinvent the wheel here\u2014instead, the VX focused on improving reliability, refinement, and durability across the board.

Aluminium crossflow radiator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; Electric thermo fan assembly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; Belt-driven water pump<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; Thermostat-controlled coolant flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; Pressurised overflow bottle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; Integrated transmission cooler on automatic models<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooling system layouts varied depending on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; V6 or V8 engine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; transmission type<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; towing package specification<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; HSV or performance model status<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Radiator Design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX Commodore used an aluminium radiator with plastic end tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; lighter than older copper-brass radiators<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; efficient heat dissipation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; improved airflow packaging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; compact engine bay fitment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common issues:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the radiator is one of the VX\u2019s most common cooling system failure points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Typical problems include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; cracked plastic end tanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; leaking seams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; coolant staining near crimps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; pressure-related fatigue failures<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most original VX radiators are now well beyond their intended lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thermo Fan System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX used electric thermo fans across the range rather than traditional engine-driven clutch fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; improved fuel economy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; reduced engine drag<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; quieter operation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; more precise cooling control<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fan behaviour:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ECU controls fan operation based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; coolant temperature<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; air conditioning demand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; vehicle speed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">V8 models rely heavily on proper fan operation, especially during low-speed driving and towing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water Pump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX Commodore used a conventional belt-driven centrifugal water pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Functions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; circulate coolant through engine and radiator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; maintain stable operating temperatures<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; support heater core circulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; prevent localised hot spots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common Water Pump Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water pumps become a common wear item on ageing VXs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; coolant leaks from weep hole<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; bearing noise or pulley wobble<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; overheating at idle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; coolant smell after shutdown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On LS1-powered cars, reduced coolant circulation can quickly lead to overheating under load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thermostat System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX uses a conventional wax-pellet thermostat assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp;

supports fuel economy and emissions performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to later VE and VZ systems, the VX thermostat arrangement is mechanically simpler and easier to replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common Thermostat Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thermostat failure becomes increasingly common as these cars age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp;

slow warm-up times<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, replacement is relatively straightforward on both V6 and V8 models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coolant Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holden specified long-life coolant suitable for mixed-metal cooling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommended coolant characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp;

long-life coolant compatibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Coolant Quality Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neglected coolant is responsible for many cooling system problems on VX Commodores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common consequences include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp;

water pump wear<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp; electrolysis damage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LS1 engines in particular dislike poor cooling system maintenance when driven hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common VX Cooling System Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Radiator End Tank Cracking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common VX failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uf0b7&nbsp;
