muncher Member 42 Member For: 19y 2m 28d Location: Bay of Plenty, NZ Posted 09/07/06 06:00 AM Share Posted 09/07/06 06:00 AM Hi AllBeen driving the T a few weeks now and have had a few probs I thought I would share with you.1- Humming sound coming from around throttle body when key is OUT of ignition. I put the key back in ign and switched it on until the dash lights came on, then off again. Took key out, humming stopped. Went to start the car next day and the battery was flat.Problem was a sensor behind the passinger headlight keeping a circuit on because it had filled with water, so I was told.2- Clonking coming from front of car when turning. Still to be resolved.3- Car surges slightly mainly when cold, doesn't like to keep a constant speed, gets better when warmed up but still there slightly. Still to be resolved.4- Sounds like I have a bee stuck in my rear parcel shelf and passenger door, VERY IRRATATING. Guys can this one be fixed under warenty? 5- I don't know if it because I am used to the power now but it doesn't feel as crisp off the mark as it used to. I have to give it more welly to get it going.Thought I would share this as I hope some of you can give me some advise on what you think the solutions are to these problems. Has anyone had the same issues and had them fixed?Cheers all.................Muncher Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26701-probs-with-t-so-far/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had the car back from stealers, they have tightened the steering rack and engine mounts. So far no more clonking noise from up front. The surging is still there, they hooked it up to the comp which gave no fault codes so they have done nothing else to investigate. As for that damn bee, I will get it in the end. Until then I'll just turn the vol up.Cheers..........muncher Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26701-probs-with-t-so-far/#findComment-404807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are best to try different techniques to determin what the problem is.If it is a fuel pump problem, then it could also be causing the slugish feeling in performance.

Still makes the buzzing, only slightly, when the stereo is pff.2-from rear parcel shelf drivers side, makes buzzing when stereo on or off.So I am getting there but still that bee eludes me. Will let you know how I get on.cheers .........muncher Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26701-probs-with-t-so-far/#findComment-405302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
