Troy.lone Member 2 Member For: 16y 30d Gender: Male Location: Queensland Posted 27/04/08 08:49 AM Share Posted 27/04/08 08:49 AM I recently brought 04 BA XR6 T 5-speed manual, which had 100K on board. On test drive car did alright, though it is my first turbo car, except the clutch felt hard.Since then I have done 100K service, changed every filter and oil in it. Clutch became normal and everything was going great.It has started a snag, the RPM on idling goes anywhere from 200 - 1500 and I can hear some engine noise like rattling of metal, and lately engine stops as trying to slow down. I got dyno-test done on it, results showed perfect air to fuel ration and no technical issues and was producing 279 HP at the wheels. I also took it to the other mechanic and said about the idling, they tested and said it is fine. I use BP Ultimate fuel all the time (98 Octane)Can anyone please suggest anything, is it normal for a turbo car or my car has got some serious issues. I love XR6 Turbo and want to keep it.Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the engine check light come on at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
