Properly cleaned the intake system, checked all hoses and ran some injector cleaner. Doesn't stall in gear anymore. Still runs rough when cold until it almost flicks a switch where revs rise a tad and idle smooths out. weird

Did you sort this as I'm having the exact same issue

Ok will do. Was just hoping to sort it myself this weekend

Na stock as far as I know. Definitely doesn't go like it's tuned haha

Hi guys, I've searched for a couple of days but can't seem to find an answer. I've got an 07 zf xr6t and when I put it into reverse from drive or vice versa the revs will drop a bit and then return to normal. If I have been reversing into a spot and I put it back to drive the car will even stall. The idle is also slightly rough and when the car is dead cold, as in puling out of the driveway and stopping at an intersection about 100m up the road it seems to surge like its trying to push through the brakes. Recently replaced parts are coil packs, cleaned throttle body, wastegate actuator and oil and filters. Plugs are about 500km old. I'm thinking it may be TPS, a vacuum leak or a dirty injector but am not sure. Any help as I want this sorted so I can get moving on the mods. Cheers

Going to get the code pulled today. Has a slight miss at idle and under load so I assumed coil packs. Disconnected the battery and cleared the engine light. Bastard I bought it off is claiming the old "I've never had a warning light"..

Hi everyone, Had a ba few years ago and just picked up a 07 bf mk 2 xr6t with the zf. Literally on the drive home from buying it the engine light came on and when it was given some boot for a second to merge the handbrake light and a few others flashed on and the Speedo stopped working. Turned the car off and on and the Speedo works but engine light remains. I had it looked at by a mechanic literally 8 hours before I bought it and he said it needs a new coil pack which is making it miss other than that is fine. Any help as I had a coil go on the ba and it wasn't this bad. Dead set shattered. Cheers

Driving down lane cove rd 2 weeks back and swear I saw an acid rush ba with a walkinshaw bonnet, thought I must have seen wrong so I ignored it. Then a couple days ago I saw the same ba again and it does indeed have a walkinshaw bonnet on it. WHY? How does that make sense in any possible way

How'd you go mate?

I went up to Brad Garlick Ford and they were excellent. I called to ask when they were open on the weekends as I work late and couldnt get there during business hours, to look at a fg mkii xr6t with 30k km for $34k. Turned up at 450pm un announced as I was heading back from a site and they said they had just taken the car home, quick call and the car was back and they were more than happy to let me test drive (surprising since I was in work gear and am only 22). Should have put a deposit as it was sold the next day

Yeah usually would. Just disappointed that there are still dealers out there that, despite fords financial issues, are still making no effort to fix its reputation

Just thought I'd vent about some service I recieved at Titan Ford Brookvale today. Went in to test drive a silver 50th anniversary xr6 turbo with 44k km for $31990. After being left standing in the lobby for 15 minutes as he got the key I took it for a test with the dealer. Shortly into the test drive a sensor fault appeared on the screen for the reverse sensors. As well as this it had a bit of driveline clunk from the fiff and seemed to flair at low revs in 3rd. Upon getting back they wanted to know my offer. I said that prior to negotiation I wanted to make sure the issues would be fixed. This was met with me being told that I needed to pay my own mechanic to sign off then they would fix it under warranty after the sale. I replied that I wasnt going to talk prices until I knew the car would be fixed. Upon this I was accused of making things up and why should they trust me. I went to leave and the manager interrupted, asking what the issue was. I repeated that I wanted to confirm they would fix the faults prior to sale. Upon this I was told they shouldnt have bothered to let me test drive, it was clearly out of my budget and I didnt know what I was talking about. I told him it most definitely wasnt and its his attitude that has lost the sale. I love the blue oval but I cant believe how bad this service was. For them to insult me is ridiculous. Ford seriously needs to sort problem dealers like this one out. STEER CLEAR OF TITAN FORD.

Alright will do. I'll look at it later this week when the weather clears a bit. Thanks

Ok I will. What kind of extras can you ask for? I'm assuming anything mechanical such as reverse sensors is to late but mats and stuff is fine?

As the title states I'm looking at a 2011 fg mk2 xr6t sedan this week. Its kinetic with 12800km and a tow pack. Its an ex ford demo and is listed at $32995. I havent bought or even really looked at cars at a dealer before so was wondering if there is any advice as to how to get a good deal. Also the kms seem high for a demo but any problems from a hard life could get fixed by warranty couldnt they? Thanks

http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3449-workshop-manual/ ^ Probably in there but I cbf to read through it right now

There's a ford xr6 turbo parts for sale group on facebook with some for sale couple days ago. Think he wanted $500 for 2 fronts

He was fine. Can't blame the cop really as they'd hear every excuse daily. In hindsight he regrets calling them and shoulda just got the towie.

cheers

that's what I thought but an ex's dad was driving home from work at about 4pm along Mccarrs creek rd (twisty though a fair bit of bush and one lane each way) in his old hilux and saw something run onto the rd out of the corner of his eye. He swerved not knowing if it was a kid and ended up hitting a tree and into the undergrowth. Called the cops thinking it was the right thing to do and they booked him for negligent driving even though he thought it was a kid because it turned out to be a bushturkey. Pretty harsh in my opinion

Sold it!! To be picked up tomorrow. Now to start looking for fg's, although the tunehouse tuner challenge mps is for sale...

Does it make I kind of brr sound when it drops power. Easy way is to check the coil packs and if there's white sh*t on the end they're blown. I had 3 coils farked but showed no fault codes at ford or problems on a dyno.

If it's a generic tune I would strongly suggest not loading it in as the worst that can happen is blown engine

I thought it was a hassle to transfer regos plus flights down, although melbournes pretty cheap currentlyi guess. Probably should look into it as NSW seems to be a fair bit higher priced than Vic for some reason.
