I love my XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regardless, with Ford having the controlling portion of ownership there are no excuses or avenues to shift the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FG XR6T (02/09 build) has B227-129 master cylinder same as that listed above for the Super Pursuit.You would have to assume the problem is related to the location of the calipers having moved from the BA/BF positioning. Can't see how the ABS programming would only be stuffed when used with 6 pot calipers.It will be interesting to see what the eventual fix is. I won't be fitting mine til I hit 3000km (only 400 so far) regardless. Edited 22/03/09 07:13 AM by hdj80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/03/09 08:21 AM Share Posted 22/03/09 08:21 AM I am now getting this every time I drive. It is always under 30km/h under light braking.It feels almost like the pad is vibrating then making the ABS activate. I think I am going to have to get the dealer involved as it is dangerous.The reason I say this is because the car does not like to stop once the ABS is activating. I now agree with tpinto with the belief that it is the left hand ABS problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdj80 Member 76 Member For: 17y 10m 24d Posted 26/03/09 11:16 AM Share Posted 26/03/09 11:16 AM ZapIf you tap the brakes to get things in contact and then lightly brake does it still do it....I just wonder if that if you take the float out of the pads with a slightly sharp press and then ease off whether it still occurs.Elsewise I might need to buy some 4 pots instead of the 6's :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
