First Fault With The G6et

[Slymeat]

The underside of the rails and the bolts have been given a liberal coating with lubricant seems to have done the trick but only time will tell.

my car has had this squeak since I have owned it.. BA.. it squeaks when I'm on a bumpy road and change gears.. would greasing up the hinges stop it?

Yes, lubricating the bolts, rail and hinges is exactly what Ford would do first if you took it to them..

I'd do yourself and not waste your time or money taking it to Ford for something so simple.

IF this then makes no difference, by all means squeak your way to Ford and take them for a drive to display your concern.

another squeak which may be found is the striker moving slightly on the latch when going over bumps. Just lube latch with dry lube

Relay must be fckded or something?

I took it in Friday morning - the guy asked if I could leave it there for the day to which I responded "well I can't exactly take it anywhere can I!"

Sure enough at about 4:30pm he rings and says "we think we've identified it, we don't have the part" - do these guys have ANY Parts??!! Last time I took it in for the fuel guage to get fixed it happened to be Thursday before Easter - exactly the same deal, a call in the afternoon to tell me they didn't have a part and that they'd need to keep it for the weekend. I assume a lack of parts is simply code for "we haven't done anything so we'll buy ourselves an extra day by saying we don't have the part".

That said they did offer to let me have it back for the weekend, but I can't exactly drive it especially if it rains and I don't have the time to take it back on Monday morning.

Well at least it wasn't sent back with "no fault found" or "within tolerance" ...so you should be half happy at least!

I've had the timing cover bolt faults with seeping oil.

A rubber seal burst and all my coolant drained out(which luckily I noticed before too late)

Clunk into first also is an issue which the FORD guys I think that there is an update to fix it....?

Also its seeping oil at the top of the engine. I showed the FORD guys and they said its pretty normal to have engine seep a bit of oil out of the top as 'blow back' or some sh!t. Like an engine overflow. Now im no genius when it comes to engines, but oil leaking out isn't a good thing.

Have you guys seen this on your car?

It's getting serviced tomorrow for its 30K.

HOpefully happy days after that.

Blow back is normal but it shouldnt be leaking out the top of the engine, it usually gets sucked back into the combustion chamber. You can stop this by having a drop out pot

The one time I've seen a bad squeak on one of these seats was because the seat base was starting to crack towards the back.

The driver was a big bloke and the seat was pretty far back over where the frame and motors bolt to the floor. So I figure it was getting badly stressed, and developed 2 very small cracks that would rub and squeak.

Took about 2 hours of stuffing around to find that, and was very hard to find while it was in the car.
