bradles024 Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 15y 5m 6d Gender: Male Posted 02/07/12 08:40 AM Share Posted 02/07/12 08:40 AM Is there any common issues with these cars? Anything to look out for etc? My last ford was a ba mkii f6, and it was very unreliable, had a few issues with it. Tossing up between a g6e and ve ss, I'd like to get the ford but not sure after having so many issues with the f6.

Bradles G6E as more refined and nice to drive . Only downside I see is its has no LSD but that's a easy fix. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80803-g6e-turbo-problems/#findComment-1261941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA was a brand new platform (well except for the floor plan and a few other things) and riddled with problems. Now they've been doing turbos for 8yrs I think most of the sh*t is outta the way and wouldn't see near as manyV8 on other hand, yeh sounds sweet but hope you have a healthy wallet! Plus no snail..need a lot more money for the power of the g6et.Yeh I give the g6e drivers a bashing with lawn bowls and the like lol but its a very nice car. Power and luxury. A very happy medium.. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80803-g6e-turbo-problems/#findComment-1261948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question was aimed at people that have had a Fg for a few years, could comment on reliability. How is yours going pazzo had any issues? And mark too had any problems with the f6? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80803-g6e-turbo-problems/#findComment-1261954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
