FGX 40T

Hi all, I need to replace a broken dash. vent - left hand side. I know I need to remove glove box and surround, to get to the two bolts holding the dash spear from a previous post, but it looks like I may need to also remove the dash end plate. The left indicates an airbag. Any issues with removing this or is there a trick. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hoping someone can help. My icc screen crapped out- all sorts of shades of pink green and blue every time I place the car in reverse. Once back in park or drive the screen returns to normal. I thought the camera was farked so I bought a genuine replacement. Didn’t fix the issue. I then did the usual disconnect the negative terminal and let if sit for an hour. Once reconnected the reverse camera worked but no guidelines. I tried toggling the settings but it made no difference. I did a master reset of the ICC, still no guidelines. Any and all advice welcomed.

Job done. Thanks for your help. I have made it totally reversible should the need arise. No check engine lights so far. Cheers

Thanks for the info and the pic. Just checking as it’s a little hard to see (follow the hoses). Your PCV goes to the can inlet and your outlet from the can goes to the inlet on the manifold. Your check valve is on the outlet to the manifold ( as it is vey close to the PCV- just double checking). In the stock set up - the hose that goes from the PCV to the inlet manifold has what looks like a one way valve already on the line. Do you know if that is the case? Thanks again.

Hi all, sorry to ask but I have been doing a lot of reading on this topic and am now totally confused. I am installing a catch can on an FGX XR6T. It’s a SAAS catch can that does not vent to atmosphere. I am only installing it on the PCV side for now and possibly another can for the other vent later. This is my proposed routing: Keeping the stock PCV valve in place; running a line from the PCV valve to the catch can inlet and then the outlet line from the can to the intake manifold (stock position). Do I need a one way check valve in the outlet hose? If so I am assuming the directional arrow needs to point to the intake manifold so I don’t pressurise the catch can. I have a factory intake with crossover. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Job done. Ended up throwing money at it. I replaced both front shocks and upgraded the top strut mounts. Problem gone. Car is nice and quiet.

Looks like I'm not the only one baffled by this. As there are really only three things left to change- shock, top mount or coil, I will start by replacing the shock. I have ordered a new Bilstein shock and will fit that hopefully next week. I will keep you posted. Any other suggestions always welcome.

I have this annoying very loud squeaking noise from the front right of the car. I have Pedders Sport Ryder coils and Bilstein shocks (3 years old). The noise was originally from the left side. My friend and mechanic has been chasing the noise. We have changed both upper and lower control arms, the tierod end and the other arm, link pins and D bushes. The noise persists. So we swapped the struts over to the other side (whole assembly) to see if the noise shifted and it did. So we have narrowed it down to something to do with that particular assembly. Not sure if it is the shock or top hat. I don't think it would be the coil but who knows. We put some lube on the top hat and coil and the sound went away for the initial test drive then returned after. Pulling my hair out. Any ideas?

Thanks- for both of your input and suggestions. I'll take it for I drive this weekend with a mate-armed with video camera and hopefully get something useful. I will also take it to a trusted mechanic and get them to check the cross member studs. Failing that I will PM Ralf and see if he can lend a hand. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

I have tried many times to replicate the noise but it does not alway happen. It always seems to happen innocuously. I usually hear it (when it happens) just after turning left, start to accelerate and hit a couple a small bumps. I would only be travelling around 40 to 50km. When I hear the noise, I have tried turning the car around and going over the exact same piece of road -sometimes I can replicate the noise -other times I cannot.

The suspension shop was unable to replicate the noise. However, while Pedders had the car we got it to clunk once, but it was not as obvious as usual. Sometimes it sounds like something hitting the bottom of the car-really loud but other times a bit softer. I starting to think it may be from the left front- but no one can find the issue. All of the bushes and links have been checked and seem okay-so I grasping at straws.

This clunking noise ( I think rear left but sometimes sound like it's from the front-always left side though- going over smallish sharp bumps and usually just after turning left) is driving me nuts. I have had Ford look over the car 3 times, initially they pointed the aftermarket suspension. Got the suspension shop to investigate a further 3 times-can't find any issues. Had the shocks returned to Bilstein for testing no issue found. Took the car to Pedders-they spent a good couple of hours going over the car- they could not find a fault. But the clunking continues. Took the car back to Ford and they agreed to replace the diff- still no better. WTF!! Any ideas-pulling my hair out.

King SL fronts and SSL rear. Bilstein shocks all round - front shocks set on lowest setting.

Anyone find a definitive solution to this issue.

Thanks for the reply. The shocks were sent to Heasemans they tested them-no issues found so they sent them back with the new bolts. I have asked for a test shock as you suggested but don't think they will be forthcoming. I have even offered to pay for a new shock and if it resolves the issue, I keep the new shock, they refund me and they get to keep the original shock. I am awaiting there reply.
