2008 Holden Commodore Service and Repair Manual

Holden's Australian-built VE Commodore sedan entered 2008 with the same seven-model ladder, from the Omega fleet favourite through Berlina, SV6, SS, SS V, Calais and Calais V. The MY09 update in the second half of the year paired the automatic V8 with the L76 engine and its Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation, while the 3.6-litre V6 continued in standard and high-output form. Because it is not the US Pontiac G8, specifications follow the Australian build. This factory service and repair manual gives the 2008 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.

Known issues on the 2008 Commodore. The 2008 VE Commodore was built for the Australian market and never sold in the United States, so NHTSA holds no recall or complaint records for it. Its V6, V8 and transmission procedures cover the service and repair work this Commodore typically needs.
