timmy Massive Tool Donating Members 567 Member For: 16y 6m 29d Gender: Male Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 My dealer farted around with mine for a day and stopped it. That was about six months ago and it is now returning. Ive read one way to resolve it is to get a custom setup put on then presto no exhaust rattle Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64511-fg-turbo-exhaust-rattle/#findComment-965010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 8m 7d Gender: Male Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Mine doesnt rattle but it does shake around quite a fair bit when turning a corner on bumpy roads. Its rather annoying I hope someone can tie it down a little better.

Will mention it to the dealer at the 15k service. It's the only issue that I have with the ute. Otherwise, I am extremely happy with the ute.

Verve Donating Members 126 Member For: 15y 11m 30d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Mine has the vibration, when stationary, and in "D"I have had my ute back to Ford on multiple occasions and no fix.The "We are waiting for a fix" is a polite way of fobbing you off.I have two issues now that I am still waiting for a fix after 8 Months...Its enough to make me consider buying a Holden, and that's saying a lot....

igsta Member 371 Member For: 21y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Are you guys talking about the heat shield around the exhaust rattling. If so you can remove them without any side effects at all. I removed mine after a year of stuffing around trying to fix it. 5 years later and no dramas.

ubute Member 172 Member For: 19y 6m 14d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yeah my FG ute has an obvious vibration when idling in "D" too. Kind of sux when you're trying to show off the ute to someone and it just sits there vibrating and shaking. Felt like it was just idling too low.My old BA exhaust had a very sh*tty fart-in-a-can rattle sound under load too.
