Guest WHITEXR6T Guests Posted 01/12/03 04:19 AM Share Posted 01/12/03 04:19 AM I have had my XR6T (Manual) for approx 1 month now and has 3000Kms on the clock.I took her in for the 3K service and I mentioned to the service guy that when lightfooting (lightly tapping) the accelerator there was a slight clunk noise coming from under the car. (Sometimes barely noticable)Under closer inspection, there is too much backlash movement in the DIFF. And they now need to replace the DIFF.Has anyone else had any similar complaints?Regards,-RR Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7759-replacing-diff-already/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us get the "they all do that, sir" and the "its within specification" from the dealer.Me? I learnt to drive a little smoother, still clunks a bit though.

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 01/12/03 04:49 AM Share Posted 01/12/03 04:49 AM very lucky, I complained about the same thing. It is really frustrating when you are in 3rd or 4th doing the local speed limit in NSW 50/60km and the clunking starts at the touch of the accel pedel. In my previous XR the clunking was mainly when changing gears?

Mine was replaced I think from memory around 1000klm's old. Mine wasnt clunk, it was a whine. And no, there wasnt any whine in the boot!

I guess I am lucky to have them replace it. I just mentioned the problem, and they had a look and then said they can replace it.My dealer is Graiwall Ford in Gosford.

badabing Member 40 Member For: 21y 6m 18d Location: Sydney Posted 01/12/03 08:19 AM Share Posted 01/12/03 08:19 AM My diff is being replaced cause it's leaking, (started at 1700km)Make sure you insist they order a new one otherwise you could end up with with a service exchange unit, which I was told is normally what goes in when I questioned them. I told them I wanted a new one cause of the low miles, didn't think right to be lumbered with an exchange diff. Don't know how I'll tell the difference when it arrives though?
