Hi everyone,

I have noticed one problem with my new xr6 turbo (BFII).

In the morning, I notice when I pop the boot, the solenoid fires several times, loudly. It opens the boot on the first click though (if you could call it a click). It is a pain in the butt. It doesnt happen all the time, but when it does it scares the crap out of me. Is it a sticky mechanism , or soldenoid itself. Has anyone had this problem. Also, does anyone know a good ford service dealership somewhere in southern NSW? Will warranty fix this prob?

Cheers,

Martin

'Sounds' like a job for the good old WD40....

sounds to me like the solinoid in the boot is crook

should be warrenty

So pelase excuse my ignorance... I have never owned a near new car before. If I take it into any ford dealership, they should be able to fix it for me for nothing? (My last car was a humble old XF, in that case I would of just pulled it apart myself!)

Cheers

'Should'

Just give them a call and explain your problem, then they'll hopefully say "no worries mate, drop her in and we'll have you back on the road in no time; as nobody knows your Ford like we do"

Ahh good, I'm not the only one with this issue

Had this from new, took Ford 3 attempts to fix it. The first time they said couldn't replicate it, I said come out - I can do it 9 times out of 10...

Finally got it fixed - they had to wind out the little rubber plugs at each corner so the boot actually lifted clear of the catch when it opens.

Was about time too - I was getting sick of Expensive Daewoo owners making comments. It got to a stage where I would avoid opening the boot.

I had the samre prob and all I done was to wind the 2 rubber stoppers out a bit now it opens everytime
