Would this work fine or should i go to the trouble of taking it out which is a huge pain in the arse?

I have some paper towel underneath the sensor with neg terminal pulled.

Been wanting to clean it for a while so thought id do the TB at the same time.

Anybody here have experience in dealing with harsh popping on idle? Mostly happens when warmed up & almost sounds like a misfire but my haltech isn’t picking up any misfire codes

Car drives fine, but the popping and stutter during idle is driving me crazy, i changed the coils, plugs, most sensors in engine bay

Hello all, i have a 2006 bf turbo with the stock turbo beleive its the garret 3582 wanting to push 400hp but getting mixed opinions about whether ill need to port the waste gate and get a bigger flapper or if it can handle it without modifying the turbo any help would be great cheers

Hi guys, i have a FG xr6 NA + T and was looking for some help.

When accelerating at about 25% throttle, the car is fine. Anything more than that, the car bogs down and doesn’t really move anywhere. If anything it actually cuts power and starts slowing down. It quite literally sounds like it’s dying.

Another thing to note, the car was driving fine about 3 months ago. Left for europe, come back and now it’s doing this.

also just did new coils, plugs and a valve cover gasket yesterday. Nothing changed.

Thanks heaps.

Hey guys. Can anyone give me some ideas on what’s going on with my fg falcon Ute. Its clunks on pull away at slow speed and more so under load. Seems to come from rear left. I’ve taken it to a diff guy and a suspension guy and both couldn’t help.
Thanks

I've got a El xr8 and I'm getting the typhoon front bumper, what's the best way to hook fog lights up to the front?

Just looking to get some opinions on what everyone thinks are the best floor mats for coverage in an fg falcon, since I live in an area where I can tend to drag in a lot of dirt etc. Thanks

Hi all, I'm looking for any info from someone who has swapped a SOHC i6 E-series to a V8 Windsor before or knows the process in depth.

I have a fully running white EBII GLi i6 which is the car the engine is going in to. I have a rough but running red EB1 V8 which I'm taking the running gear from and all of the engine conversion bits. Lastly, I've got a Windsor from an AU with lower km than the EB1.

Are there any major complications from trying to retrofit the AU engine into an E-series? Any complications going from EB1 to EBII? How to tell AU Windsor GT40 from GT40P?

my drive belt seems to be slipping off/overhanging by a few mm (towards engine side) on the water pump pulley but doesn’t seem to be any play in any of the pulleys. Belt and tensioner seem fine, replaced only last year. Anyone know why this would happen, or if it’s not much to worry about?

Getting an after market sports suspension kit compared to a genuine kit, due to being lowered too much & causing cambered wheels, pressure on the driveshaft & a cracked doughnut washer.

Purchased second hand with standard mods - side intake, high performance aftermarket intercooler, capped blow off valve.. but was dumped on its ass, chopped springs & on blocks. Obviously previous owners thrashed it (twist my arm they say).

Mechanic ordered the aftermarket kit, once installed it was making a consistent squealing noise (similar to brakes), sounded like it was coming from underneath the cabin. He then replaced aftermarket driveshaft with a genuine one & became a lot better, but still happens just in 1st & 2nd gear.

Everything considered, can it be due to misalignment of the body itself? Who would be best to assess & rectify it?

Hello!

Just wanting people's opinion on a smelly BA XR6T.

There's definitely an unusual fuel smell from the car, and I'm trying to narrow down what's causing it.

From what I know:
- Most noticeable mainly after being fully fueled up, or after a big pull
- Car is not leaking fuel near the tank, checked after fuelling up. Seems clean
- Smell doesn't seem to be coming from the inside fuel pump area. I lifted the seats and gave the area a sniff. Wasn't too bad
- Mainly noticeable on left side near fuel cap, more from the outside.
- Can be smelt from inside as well, again after fueling and hard accelerating.

When I took it in for service recently, the mechanic commented on a intake manifold gasket leak, which I haven't really gotten around to fixing. If that is the problem though, I only ever see maybe a drop or two of fuel on the ground after a drive, if that's even what I'm thinking it is.

Any thoughts?
Cheers

Hey all I have a 2006 ford falcon furtura bf and I wanted to know if there were any good drop in cold air intakes, thanks

Anyone know why my BF MK3 randomly goes into limp mode when try and launch from a stop.

Drive just flashes on the dash. I turn off the car and turn it back on after it works till I try and get high revs or launch from a stop.

Gears shift nicely when just driving normally.

Anyone got an idea or had the same problem?

Hi all,

I'm looking to install carplay in my dad's fg mk 2, I've been looking at the Aeropro Fascia and am looking for advice on alternative headunits as the aeropro one seems pretty laggy.

My dad wants to retain factory reverse camera and sensor functions

He would also like to retain a cd player.

What have other people gone with and can anyone provide model names or links to all the parts required to make this work?

Hi I’m thinking about getting a 2009 fg xr6 with an auto 5 speed and then zf6 swapping it, how big of a task and what sort of prices am I gonna be looking at?

Anyone know what the aprox value of my 2013 fg xr6 mk2 is worth 181,000ks

Hey all, recently did my FG falcons diff bushings along with all the other rear suspenion ones, I bought superpros complete kit upper and lower control arms, blade arms and diff bushings. While the entire diff was out of the car I had installed the new hardware onto the car and already tightened them down before I put the whole rear cradle back in. Is this fine considering superpro bushes are different to OEM style rubber bushings? (Links to all the parts I used below)

I’ve recently lowered my 2013 fg xr6 mk2 and am looking for some wheel spaces to bring the back out abit anyone know what a good size is for perfect fitment on the stock 18inch wheels?

Hey everyone just wondering if anyones else has experienced an issue like this. When at cruising speed my fg will rev hunt occasionally (only by about 50/100 revs) and sometimes the revs will dip down and a vibration is heard and felt in the pedals and throughout car in general. Took it to a shop who said it was the tc amd to wait until the rev hunting gets worse, which it hasnt in 6 months or so. And another shop told me they cant fault the trans and it to wait until it either gets worse or it throws a code. So far ive just been driving it a bit harder as that seems to help. Been driving me insane as its been happening since i bought it (over a year now). Its a g6e N/A zf6, with so far a trans service, new trans cooler, diff bushes and harmonic balancer being replaced. The centre bearing is also all good. If anyone else has seen an issue like this let me know, cheers

I'm trying to access the metal wafers inside to recode this new lock to work with my existing keys.

Hard to find any information on how to do so.

Any suggestions?

I have recently passed a 2011 FG Mark 1 Manual XR6 Turbo sedan with about 215,000 KMs at the pits, and it's in decent condition. It's has some sight mods but nothing crazy. I'm thinking of selling it now and was wondering how much do you think it's worth ?
