Warranty Problems - Ba Xr6

[XRBloke]

Good point, all I want is a solution to the problem so I can drive my car without getting upset...

I dunno how these things can go backwards 2 years after they start production, but I guess supplies change along the way along with processes that we dont all hear about..

My car is booked in for next Wednesday to have the following issues resolved, its reassuring to know nothings changed since the AU in build quality. :tosser:

1. Flexing Noise in rear suspension - driving me crazy on drivers side of car, there is a serious problem here and its got me worried.

got that flexing sound !. almost sounds like the chassis is flexing in the parcel tray area. has been back three times.

first time they found the bolt mounting the irs to the chassis was loose. when they tightened it, it broke before reaching its torque rating. replaced bolt.

second time they only lubed the same joint.

third time back they couldnt hear the sound so didnt want to touch it (fair enough I suppose). its intermidant. hasnt occured for a few weeks now. just waiting for it to happen when im near the dealer. then ill drive in there and demand them to come for a drive with me.

Ive had this to. It turned out to be skin flexing inside the cars body. It was coming from the same area as you say and it was on the drivers side.

They will find it if they look hard enough. Took my dealer 7 hrs to find it !!!

When I turn at low speeds (not dry stearing) but in car parks or driveway etc my front stearing clicks and clunks. it sound like its gona snap sumin. Is this normal for all xr6's or is it a warrenty job?

Thanks

Yeh its either a bearing in the steering pump or a stuffed hose veczar, ive been down to my dealer this morning discussing whats going to happen to my car next week and apparently theres an updated power steer hose that resolves the problem, if not then the whole rack has to be replaced...
