1995 Holden Commodore 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a VS series one, the car will run but only for a short period of time, as soon as it is turned on the battery light switches on, after a short distance the Engine light and ABS light turn on, the car will continue to stay on but it loses its responsivness. What could it be?

Hi there,

Start with checking the alternator charge rate.

Hi there,

Did you do a code read, do this and report the codes here, that way we will have some idea as to what we are looking at.
