Hunter99 New Member 6 Member For: 3m 28d Posted 24/11/21 08:51 PM Share Posted 24/11/21 08:51 PM Hey guys I have a 2007 ford xr6 6 speed auto its recently starting to give me grief I drive it for a little bit everything seems ok then boom it goes into like limp mode or some sh*t "D" starts flashing on dash flick it over to tiptronic wont go out of 3rd gear traction,abs,battery light all comes up on dash then it just putts out. So I get my mate to give me a jump start everything starts working again but only for a short while then it starts doing the same sh*t I just described again. So far ive brought a battery(new) and alternator(second hand) but it still keeps happening any ideas is this transmissions related or voltage problem?

The voltage is a good indicator, but not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
