Sounds to me like you're not whinging to the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickgibbo Member 41 Member For: 15y 6m 11d Posted 05/09/11 08:38 AM Share Posted 05/09/11 08:38 AM Hey,I have the same problem with my May 2009 FG XR6 Ute with 75,000km on the clock. It sounds strong when idleing in 'D' and not in park although the revs are similar.I had it at Ford last week for the 75k service and they said they couldn't find it, however they "tightened the exhaust". Since then it has been louder. The service manager said if it continues, don't hesitate to bring in back in, which I am doing tomorrow.From my lack of car knowledge and listening to where it is comming from, it could be a broken baffel which only vibrate at the correct RPM.I will let you know how I go.Regards,Michael.

Ford said they couldn't see anything wrong with it so I got the sh*ts and had a look myself one weekend. Fixed it in 10 seconds with a shifter by taking a bit of slack out of the handbrake cable. My fix is HERE with a pic.One year on now and the noise is still permanantly gone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibraute Inactive Members 1 Member For: 13y 3m 21d Posted 09/09/11 07:07 PM Share Posted 09/09/11 07:07 PM Joined this forum specifically for this problem. 2008 FG XR6T Ute with 30,000km is chattering my teeth at idle. Same problem as others - severe vibration at low revs, goes away once revs reaches a certain point. CityFord in Sydney advise Ford is aware of the problem and are awaiting a 'fix'.That has been 12 months. No fix. Have read the handbrake cables issue here and think I will persue that. Jtlemon have you had any luck in resolving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
