TUR-BO6 There's a thin line between a wild time and a flat line. Member 146 Member For: 16y 4m 12d Gender: Male Location: Vic Nsw border. Posted 18/05/10 01:00 PM Share Posted 18/05/10 01:00 PM Just thought we could get a few points of view on periodic maintenance for these toys.Also if anyone has the Service Schedule for them too.Maybe note in the top corner the vehicle you are referring to when you post a maintenance item for example so fpv differences or what not can be deciphered.We've seen thus far:10k intervals to WD40 your wastegate solenoid.50k " " change fuel filter.5k oil and filter (if your pedantic on servicing.)100k Coils.Please make adjustments or additions guys... Hope this makes maintenance easier for everyone... Enjoy! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68214-service-schedule/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure how often you guys with aftermarket oil are changing. 50k?)I may have been a bit generous with the km's. I know some will argue saying they change all this everytime their car leaves the driveway.

Didn't think of it either cause I got rid of the whole line a long time ago.

If that happens bye bye turbo bearing cartridge, hello expensive repairs.Very important to at least check it.

Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 20/05/10 01:42 PM Share Posted 20/05/10 01:42 PM The screen is fitted in the oil supply pipe to the turbo yes.It is located on the side of the block below the inlet manifold.To get it out you need to remove the sender unit from the fitting that comes out of the block and then remove the nut on top of the oil pipe. You can clean it out with contact cleaner or carby cleaner and refit it. Have a read about it in here.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32461Some say remove it, some say keep it. I will be keeping mine as I know the history of my car and it serves a purpose.
