DougM Member 22 Member For: 18y 6m 12d Posted 04/06/06 09:32 AM Share Posted 04/06/06 09:32 AM (edited) Hi Guys. I'm new to the XR6T fraternity and I am having a ball with it. I have had all sorts of Fords, from a 65 coupe to a worked RS2000 and many others in between......We couldn't afford to have three cars( 2 daily and 1 toy) so one had to go. I sold my work car and the toy and have combined the 2 in one with the XR(mk1 auto BA-6000 km's).....Any way.....My first question is a warranty one....The care develops a whine from 80kph.....It's from the engine....The dealer changed the power steering pump but it is still making the same noise. It only occurs when moving and comes on as you accelerate from 80kph onwards. If you back off the throttle the noise goes away....Has any one else had the same problem?? any advice would be appreciated.As far as mods go, there is so much info(and misinfo) out there.......What's a guy to do?? I'm not after maximum power as it's a daily car and I don't want to be rebuilding engines and auto's any time soon.....I currently have the F6 intake and capa tuner with generic tune until I decide on exhaust. I'm also going to do do the injectors and possibly intercooler....I was looking at either the APS or Hi-Tech exhuast with F6 intercooler...What do you think??Cheers.Doug.

I was actually looking at used ones(preferably manual) but they mostly had between 60-80,000 km's.....I couldn't resist this one even though it's auto...

If you have a Capa flash on it - it could have blown a pipe off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
