patrick1234 Member 39 Member For: 12y 9m 23d Posted 08/03/12 06:29 AM Author Share Posted 08/03/12 06:29 AM Hello Patrick here, I've got a few questions about some maintenance I'm going to do on my 2006 xr6 turbo ute They are :1.cleaning throttle body2.boost leak test3. o2 sensor 1. Just wanted to know what throttle body cleaner you guys recommend and if you have to take off the ford inter cooler pipes to get into the body2. Boost leak test, have you guys made one before or did you buy it? and was it relatively easy 3. o2 Sensor, which one did you guys get, eg best brand type? Is there two sensors I can see one but heard there is two. Reason being my fuel consumption is dismalAny help would be great, thanks Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you've changed under the bonnet, see that sticky mentioned above. On mine I have to remove pipes from turbo and cooler to the crossover on top, then take crossover off (mind the BOV). 3)-I replaced the engine bay O2 sensor with a bosch one from ebay, cost bugger all, $66 posted. Bought it from seller automotiveheaven03There is another one further down the exhaust (is this BFs only?) but I am tuned and I'm told they turn it off during tuning to avoid it throwing error codes.

Mine is possibly valve spring related as well though, bad idle (BAD...like a massive cam) after giving it a bit of herbs, but only happens one in a hundred mashes of throttle.Throttle body I've always done with boost solenoid lubing so can't comment on it alone.
