  1. Happy Birthday xr6tewww!

  2. I didnt get him to do the new oil change, took it to ford. they sussed everything out computer was fine no faults and told them the oil in it and they said wrong stuff. changed over to what they use and the power was back. did no other work no colis no plugs no tightening of manifold, nothing. it was the oil there was nothing else it could have been. ive never heard of oil making loss of power hence why I assumed coils or plugs or manifold even fuel filter. still confuses me
  3. anyone in brisbane keen to do a cruise one night?
  4. nah It was the wrong stuff, was 15/40 the right stuff just full synthetic which the fg's dont run. I assumed they did but spoke to ford and the said non synthetic they run on. crazy the power loss I noticed though, never heard of oil doing that to a car. as soon as the oil was changed the power was back. yeah I wont go through him again, and yes I went there today got a refund on the oil he put in
  5. all good everybody, mechanic put the wrong oil in. (good oil but car just didn't like it) back to its normal self again
  6. will suss out the wastegate tomorrow
  7. nah stock. I went and had a good look before it almost sounds like the turbo's leaking or something when its winding up, different sound coming from it now. im going to take it to ford tomorrow
  8. hi can anyone recommend a good reputable mechanic or ford service centre on brisbane southeast to go to? thanks >2010 fg xr6t ute
  9. hi, im new to the to the turbo world and wondering if someone can help me, so I recently bought a 2010 fg xr6t with 58,000 k's on it, had it serviced about 1500 k's ago and within the first few days after the service noticed a change in power. turbo seems laggy less responsive. the mechanic said all he did was oil (synthetic) and air filter didn't touch anything that would change the power. had computer plugged in to see any registered faults but computer came up normal. have recently noticed a flutter in my exhaust which I'm thinking must be coils or plugs. if it was that wouldn't I notice a rough idol or something like that? always running premium fuel. I know the clutch is on the way out but wouldn't think that's the issue. been told to tighten manifold and change fuel filter and see what happens after that. if anyone has any ideas please share thanks
