had the exact same problem on G6ET years ago... unfortunately the whole dash had to come off for them (Ford) to fix it... and in the process they damaged my steering wheel, centre console & couple of other things which they had to also replace under warranty (still had to argue it though)... and let me tell you this, ever since it got replaced & I change from any setting to the windshield setting, there's always an audible noise/thud...

thanks I'll give it a try & see how we go...

stupid question but how?... I've got no idea where to start...

So my engine starting making this knocking/rattling sound this morning... any ideas what it could be?... It's a 2009 FG G6eT with about 165K on the clock..p>

Hey guys & girls... I'm back from hiatus & so is my G6ET, which has been under a dust cover for the last 2.5 years... can anyone of you recommend where I can go for a decent major service in the Moonee Ponds/Essendon area in Vic?... I'm trying to avoid Ford altogether as I've never been happy with their servicing...

Well I'm neither tall or wide and still find getting in and out a pain in the ass with the low steering wheel setting...they should have kept it the same as the BA/BF models...surely they should've known this would've irritated the driver?...then again...

Was 38 when I bought mine....and still enjoying it at 40.... The cardigan is also getting a bit of wear as well...

Bunna....yes, the buttons are still silver but the segments separating them are black. Thanks for the feedback, as the geese at the service dept had no idea and neither did Ford customer service when I called them.

So I got the steering wheel replaced under warranty (bit suprised to be honest) and after picking up the car, the new wheel looks and feels different to the old one?? The button surrounds are black instead of silver and the leather feels cheap. I went back to the service dealer today and queried it and they were none the wiser as to whether they installed the right/wrong one. Does anyone know whether Ford have recently upgraded or changed the type steering wheel in the G6ET's?

Hi all, Its been a while since I've been on the forums but anyhow, have any of you noticed any wear on the underside of your steering wheels? I've had the car for about 10 months or so and I noticed it a couple of days ago and I'm now convinced that the steering wheel position is too low (even when adjusted to its highest position) for getting in/out and not hitting/rubbing against it. Your thoughts?

Man that Merc is farking ugly......

have you tried the Ford Performance Radials?.....

Not sure if this has been raised before and the search funtion couldn't farken work for me...anyways..... So its been raining down here in Melbourne and I've noticed that the right wiper doesn't completely sweep over the right end area of the left wiper, leaving a rough area of 5cm that builds up rainwater and slowly trickles its way down....I would have thought that the numb-nuts at Ford would have picked up on something as simple as this....I'm pretty certain that my old BA T didn't have this?.....

maybe the soles were manufactured by Ford Performance Radials?....

I've had a couple of curious looks....I would have thought the Turbo badging would be a dead giveaway though... the 1st bloke to look was an old geezer and the missus was cracking up calling me grandpa....
