Brian66 Member 3 Member For: 14y 1m 19d Posted 21/12/10 02:04 AM Share Posted 21/12/10 02:04 AM Hi Everybody,I have a September 2009 built FG XR6T Ute, auto, 18 inch wheels, all factory standard apart from a Flexiglass canopy & roof rack. Just done over 15,000 kms (had service yesterday). When the car is in drive stopped at idle there is a vibration through the cabin, you can hear it & feel it through the seat. The intensity varies & is hard to pin point, it does not occur at any other time although can be worse with the aircon on. Ford dealer in Perth say they cannot find a problem, although service manager experienced it when he sat in the car. The car had a drive train failure just after it's 3000 km service check (can't remember if it was an input or output shaft) & this problem has only occurred since then.Has anybody else out there had similar problems? Any input from anybody would be greatly appreciated.CheersBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
