Hey,

Im buying an XR6 turbo on my P's ive found a couple around 20k but they've done close to 100000kms I was wondering whether the turbo would still be alright? Any advice and also hows fuel consumption on these cars, how much can you expect from a full tank?

Thanks

Fuel economy depends totally on how you drive it. They're better on fuel after a custom tune and a little more power.

What year and model are the ones you've been looking at?

Hey,

Ive been looking at the 2003 and 2004 Xr6 Turbo's im just mainly concerned about the turbo not being in good condition after 100000kms im sure every one who owns one thrashes it a little but I dont want anything that is gonna last for only a couple months after spending 20k.

Thanks

I have an '04 with 70 and no problems yet.

After a quick look through the turbo tech section I found around 20 examples of turbo problems, mostly not related to age though.

This one may scare you a bit, but don't fret.

If you're looking at manuals the main worrying factor would be the gearbox.

XR2DI4 my XR has 118xxxkm on it, bought it at 106xxx and no problems here, T5 manual, replaced the diff bush and that's all that was needed. It cops a flogging and its still going strong with no wear evident and no problems.

As people said oil screen and oil changes regulary and you should be ok, if it goes it goes mate!
