MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 16y 10m 26d Posted 01/03/10 12:36 AM Share Posted 01/03/10 12:36 AM Need to vent, my BA is making me hemorrhage money.You would expect these issues on a brand new system, but most of these things have carried over from previous models. I can no longer afford to repair things on this car. I'm more likely to be buying an Aurion as my next car instead of the FG like I was planning.-3 doors have now had the actuator gears break-Reverse gear does not work (5 speed manual)-Tranmission mount in the cross member snapped-Diff bush went ages ago-Turbo needed a rebuild because the screening device is rediculous and caused it to starve-Engine mounts are broken-Power steering high pressure line is leaking through a seal which means the whole line to the rack needs to be replaced-Car hardly idles and stallPlus many more......Please feel free to contribute to obvious engineering issues that plague these cars!

How many ks. How hard do you drive the carto be breaking mounts and the like suggests to me that you drive the car pretty hard. The only issue I had with my ba was the diff. It had140k on when I sold it and was still going strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs a 12psi custom tune with cooler, piping, exhaust etc.Turbo is still running very sweet and gets serviced every 5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all under warranty)....traded it with 140.000kms on the clock and never had an issue... it was late 03 from memory and I loved it... My NEW barina has has soooooo many issues and I bought it late last year as my daily and for work... it has 8,000kms on the clock and has broken like 5 times already... THAT'S A LEMON!!!!
