Common Locksmith Issues with the Holden Commodore VR-VS
Despite its durability, the Holden Commodore VR-VS series (1993-2002) faces several locksmith-related issues as it ages:
-
Ignition Barrel Problems
One of the most common issues with this series is ignition barrel wear. Given that these models use sealed ignition units, the entire ignition head must be replaced when issues arise. We always replace the ignition barrel, which costs $200-$400 in our shop. Replacing the barrel is critical since we cut the key to the original code, and the barrel must match. -
Key Programming and Lost Keys
Many Holden Commodore VR-VS owners encounter key loss or need spare keys. For key programming, we use tools like Smart Pro, T300, and Zedfull, depending on the job. Whether programming genuine or aftermarket remote keys, our team ensures that the vehicle’s system is correctly synced with the new keys. -
Remote Key and Security Code Retrieval
For Commodore VY-VZ models, retrieving the security code is necessary to program new keys. We can pull the key code from the dealer or plug in the T300 tool to extract it directly from the vehicle.
