Then get back to me. Does more harm than good. May as well squirt the WD up you arse. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/63/#findComment-1612992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilk Is on holiday from communism Member 1,282 Member For: 6y 4m 1d Gender: Female Location: Victoria Posted 06/01/19 07:41 AM Share Posted 06/01/19 07:41 AM New one from ford for a FG xr6 turbo was $52. Got it the other day and drives a lot smoother. Don't see the point in doing maintenance when you can just replace it. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/63/#findComment-1669404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
