1 General Information
The HSV VYII series is a new design featuring new HSV major assemblies such as body styling, seats, suspension,
engine and exhaust s ystem, new HSV body compone nts, and new HSV interna l fittings and convenience items. These
HSV components, assemblies and fittings are not described in service-type manuals produced for standard Holden
models.
The purpose of this Supplement is to provide information on the unique HSV components fitted to HSV VYII vehicles.
The information in this doc ument is designed to sup plement the information contai ned in the Holden VYII series Serv ice
Manuals, and details are g iven where differences occur between the HSV models and standard Holden models. A series
of instruction drawings describe the design changes and indicate specific part numbers, fitting instructions and relevant
notes for vehicle servicing.
This supplement is divided into Sections and each Section addresses a specific subject - for example, Section D
discusses Brake Systems. In addition, supplementary Service Bulletins will be issued (as the need arises) to describe
service operations on new systems and/or new vehicles not previously described in this supplement. These
supplementary Service Bulleti ns will be issued in numerical sequenc e.

terms are used to indicate that precautions must be taken during the servicing procedures that follow. The terms used
are Caution and Note, and these terms have the following meanings:
A CAUTION (as shown) will precede any text
which if not correctly followed may cause
personal injury, damage to equipment or
corruption of digital data.
NOTE:
A NOTE (as shown) will precede any servicing
procedure, technique, or inf ormation which need s
special attention and needs to be highlighted.
