Hey guys, I recently bought an 08 fg Ute and at idle it seems to rattle a little and is quite noticeable. when it’s in drive or neutral it’s doesnt rattle at all. Sounds like it’s underneath the car. Auto transmission and has 125000 kms cheers fellas

After a bit of advice, I've had this issue for a few years and the fuel consumption is making me want to fix it. This all started about 4 years ago and have just put up with it but the fuel is getting worse, currently getting about 350km around town driving moderately (I used to get 450km driving the same way...). When the engine starts cold it will sound like there is a miss for the first 3-4 minutes. The exhaust has white smoke, very faint though with a very small hint of blue (sometimes). Though the engine oil barely drops between servicing (I change the oil every 10-15k). After 3-4 minutes of warming up the car drives fine, no loss of power. I recently drove a 3,000km hwy trip and noticed the back of the car was full of oil, obviously from overtaking and putting the foot down. Things I've checked: new spark plugs Checked all coils (using servicable one, replacing one by one) Re-flashing the ecu (I have 3 maps and tried them all) Replaced the PCV Checked all hoses visually Compression check I'm suspecting a valve seal is gone or valve spring. My next move is to take the head off and get it recon.. though hoping someone here has a more likely cause, I.e if its the springs or seals would it be worth changing them first rather than take head off? The car is an xr6t mkII with 200,000km, 330rwkw and was tuned 7 years ago running 14psi. I've driven in pretty hard and only since this problem have eased off a bit on the lead foot.

hello out there, just bought an 03 xr6t which seems to have been well looked after. I've noticed an intermitent miss at idle ( like a very brief ignition cut of .1-.2 second or something) and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this, it does have new plugs, coils, fuel pump and filter, all done by previous owner. any advice greatly appreciated, thanks

My 2004 xr6t mk2, with 128,000k shakes a bit at idle, but its not a miss and a power balance test comes up clean. Its got new spark plugs in it and its not an intake manifold. Only happens when warmed up and also my interior light flickers. Battery is getting a bit old, but still pulls 388CCA. Car cranks and starts fine, and the alternator has 14.4-14.9v output, also its running rich, but my oxy sensor is putting out an up n down graph, which is good... any ideas why the three faults are present? Are they all related? Also there are no related codes stored in the pcm.
