Few niggling issues initially but nothing serious, mostly just electronic/software related. From memory the only physical things that have been repaired/replaced was a temperature sensor, fuel sender & diff bush...all warranty jobs.Generally the reliability of the FG sh*ts all over BA/BF, they are different beasts. The drive is a lot better too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a manual it's always going to be a bit noisy compared to the ZF. Those little turbo's hanging of the side are killer, fun fun fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impressive mark with 370kw too. Might try find a low km g6e with a bit of warranty left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just remember what people say about them on here and in person?But I guess everyone speaking about the fg's after my comment is opposite to what I said....oh wait...
