Been to Sprint , Rocka bros and no dash mats for ba yet. Wish the xr logo in the seats was same colour as the mat, Shouldnt cost that much to get done.

FM is okay but, as I'm on the road a bit, I often change to AM to listen to some decent news. Have great difficulty in picking up any AM stationsOther than that it's great. I used to have a VX SS but the XR6T eats it !!Bit disappointed that the power windows switches do not light up at night. Can be a bit tricky fumbling for the switches at night Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/758-what-problems-have-you-had/page/24/#findComment-19819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to call in at the dealer tonight so I will find out and advise.I also have non genuine XR Turbo mats. The rear mat is a one piece jobbie that goes up and over the hump.. Good protection I think... (I think they get them from the same supplier..) I will advise.Oh just on the service. They fixed the seat but it looks like thye have just stitched it up rather than replacing it. All out of shape now. About to put in a call to the service manager this this.. Not real happy..

Gareth Member 71 Member For: 22y 3m 10d Posted 30/04/03 03:42 AM Share Posted 30/04/03 03:42 AM My problems are small. Very loud whistle above 110 kph, wheels weren't balanced so vibrations at speed. Had them reballanced and still not 100%. Car backfired once when starting and smoke came out of everywhere! Scarey, but only damage seemed to be a vacuum hose that blew apart which I put back together. Have done about 2,000k's in about 10 days since then with no dramas. On the whole I reckon these are awesome cars. You have to expect some problems with any car. My last car was a Honda S2000 and I had more initial problems with it - and I reckon Honda build fantastic cars, as good as any manufacturer in the world.Let's be positive, at least they don't have all the dramas of the Gen 3 Chev engines!

They have a backing on them that interacts with the carpet to stop them moving. These mats are aftremarket ones (but purchased through the spare parts guys at my dealer).They are just fine what what I was after.. They were free from the dealer ($110 worth) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/758-what-problems-have-you-had/page/24/#findComment-20168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xr6Tas Guests Posted 30/04/03 07:43 AM Share Posted 30/04/03 07:43 AM Went to get into the car today and noticed a big puddle of coolant at the front of the car. Checked the coolant level and it was below minimum. Had the car towed to be on the safe side as I wasn’t about to drive it with no coolant in it.Weird thing is I received a call from the service department who tried to tell me the coolant level was normal and that I must have seen water from the aircon system (yeah right!)Hopefully its nothing too serious.

Tas, sounds like it might be the water pump o-ring problem that Ford are having a few problems with at the moment.Should be an easy enough fix.Good luck and let us know how you go.
