Benmgsr Member 4 Member For: 15y 10m 3d Posted 13/12/10 07:47 AM Posted 13/12/10 07:47 AM Hi Guys,I just drove my 2007 bfII xr6t ute with only 30,000k's home from the dealer I bought it from.It has a couple of problems already. I will take it back to the dealer tomorrow, but I'd like to get an idea of what's wrong.1. I dont have a manual with the car, but it looks like the airbag light has come on, in the bottom left hand corner of the dash.2. The major one - It shudders, felling like it's missing upon hard acceleration and the engine light has come on permanently. Can I still drive it like this?Thanks, Ben

Neither should be a problem that would stop you driving it.

Apparently there was a broken/damaged vacuum hose somewhere around/on the turbo. Also, there is a busted solenoid that is causing the airbag light to come on and also the radio to malfunction. It's still under it's new car warranty, so it's all good!
