Thankyou all for your replies...much appreciated..... I wiill further into issues such as ...."diff bushes" , "oil feed line for the turbo" and "ZF servicing".... as mentioned in a previous reply.. Also as for the comment regarding the ZF trans.... "The ZF transmission will hold in gear if you give it a quick kick and this is normal as it has been programmed into it. IMHO it's an excellent feature", I wasn't sure if this was normal for the trans to hold gear for so long, but I guess I only drove it for a short run (test drove it at a dealership) and under reasonably hard acceleration. I asume under normal acceleration the gear would shift with a Normal rev range..... But I was quite impressed with the xr6 turbo...goes well... Thanks again for everyones replies Take care John Also

Hi All I am looking at getting possibly an XR6 Turbo.... I have driven FG XR6's before but recently took 2 XR6 Turbo's for a run... Was quite impressed with the performance....... I have never owned a vehicle equiped with a Turbo and am just wondering whether there any issues with the Turbo's in terms of reliability. I'm looking at getting one with about 60-80k on the clock... Are there any issues in general with the XR6 Turbo models, e.g. possibly drivetrain issues... How long do the Turbo's normally run for, before they need to be repaired/rebuilt...???? I took 2 XR6 Turbo for a test drive recently, they were both ex-cop cars... The acceleration was good, but the decleration seem to be very harsh, and one had a bit of a knock with deceleration...I assume there could be some play in the drive train... e.g When I acelerated hard the pickup was great, but as soon asI backed of the accelerator, the decelaration was quite harsh...as if it was caught in a low gear with high revs, so when I backed of the accelerator, the deceleration was quick/very harsh...is this normal on the xr6 turbo.... I have driven standard xr6's before and never experienced this.... Is it normal that deceleration to be quite harsh on the Turbo's, or is it perhaps something to do with hows the cop cars are tuned, as the XR6 turbo's I drove were both ex-cop cars.... Thanks John :-)
