There is also a couple 08's for the same price. What are the main areas to look at, listen for, poke around?.These posts on bushes and cradles have really opened my eyes. Does anyone know if they changed cradle in 09.I appreciate any info. Thank you.ok Back to other threads :closetema: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84211-buy-1st-g6et-any-faults-to-look-for/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has done been through two now, 4 years old. Brake switch often causes ABS/DSC fault, mine went at 96000ks and is fairly common. But a cheap fix. Seat base often cracks and makes noises Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84211-buy-1st-g6et-any-faults-to-look-for/#findComment-1369398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aparently its a ford firmware issue which can be fixed if my ford dealer pulls their finger out2: Heater doesnt work too well (this may be my own judgement of heat) still to be looked atApart from that the diff bushes are a big issue with these cars Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84211-buy-1st-g6et-any-faults-to-look-for/#findComment-1369632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
