Hi guys didn’t end up getting that G6E Turbo that had 200,000kms just couldn’t get past the kms it had done. So still looking around for one under 150,000kms have found one that has 110,000kms on it but will see what the final price is. From inspection it looked pretty good however I did notice the pipe from the inter cooler to the turbo looked like it had a fine crack on it and could see the pipe looked a bit rough also the coolant housing had big dirty splotches in it which scared me a bit. treay81 is yours a FG? And what actually happens when the turbo fails? Can you still drive the car with a failed turbo for a little bit? Or you have to get it towed?

Thanks wagon for replying and giving me some food for thought. I just am stuck in a rock and a hard place as I would love to get it but just don’t want it to become a money pit then misses would really lose her sh*t!! Honestly wagon what would you do? Is 200,000kms a money pit that will just require to much to maintain and replace bits because of the high kms? Or does it still have a at least another 100,000kms in it before turbo would need fixing and other mechanical problems.

Thanks wagon, The reason I was looking toward dealer than private is cause I can trade in my currant car so all up for the dealership it would only be a change over of $5000. Yea I read about earls oil turbo line I would definitely get that is that a DIY job installing that? Was thinking I would get a trans cooler as well. Do you think it would need a new radiator though? It looks like the car has been stock all it’s life which is a good thing! Like I said I’m just worried I bought it and straight up would be hit with a new turbo which would be what 2k? And if the trans was cactus that's 5k? I would be planning on having the car for a long time down the track as I love these falcon turbo six’s and heard you can get 500,000kms plus out of them just the turbo would need replacing eventually.

Hi wagon, It is from a dealer which is supposedly RACV accredited. I told the dealer that the car needs a service and he said they can do one at the dealership along with RWC but I’m just not sure I can trust the dealer looking at faults and fixing them like the transmission if it’s milkshaked or if the turbo needs a rebuild. I’ve read mixed reviews from this dealership so it’s hard to trust. The dealer ship is JD Collins Mornington

Hi all I can’t seem to find the right place on this topic can someone please point me in the right direction or give me some advice. I’m looking at buying a used g6e turbo 2010 50th anniversary edition however it has nearly 200,000kms on the clock, I’ve checked the service history and it seems to have had all regular services up until 165,000kms but hasn’t had anything for the last 30,000kms. It looks like it’s been owned it’s whole life by one owner and he lived in the country in Donald Vic so all those kms would be highway kms I’m assuming. I took it for a test drive the other day and all seemed good there was no clunking from the rear so guessing diff bushes are ok and there was no issues with getting up speed or lurking when changing gears. I guess I’m just about worried that there hasn’t been a service in the last 30,000kms and something is wrong like the dreaded milkshake or even the turbo will require a rebuild can somebody please help

ok no worries will ask around then
