Shagonwagon01 Member 17 Member For: 11y 6m 26d Posted 14/04/13 12:28 PM Share Posted 14/04/13 12:28 PM I have just bought my xr6turbo ute manual 2007 93000kms, Its seem to had a few problems so far my main concern now is this noise coming from either the engine or turbo its like a ratteling noise I here when it builds boost to about 3500rpm and it gets louder and louder untill it cuts me off at usually 5000rpm like im hitting the limiter its like the engine diagnoses itself and cuts of the supply to the engine and kicks back like its hitting the rev limiter but 5000rpm is surely to low for that to be the limiter, then idles like its starving of fuel, or oil until I accelerate it it fixes itself usually after this happens the orange engine light comes on?Ive had a mate look at it whos not a licenced mechanic but know abit he reckons its "pinging" or "detonating" im not sure but he said it could be due to running unleaded 91 What do you guys think? Im honestly boarderline giving it back I did get 1 year warranty but no 3 month stat so anything the warrenty doesnt cover im out of pocket!Please help!

Nah seriously fuq off that 91 rubbish off and put some real fuel in there. At least 95, but personally I'd only b using 98 from BP (my choice). Good luck with it hopefully u haven't stuffed it. But like Tt said why 91 octane fuel then try and thrash it after? Wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally would kick and spit and carry on. Engine light was on so I got in there and listened. Was coming from the turbo. Pulled heat shields off and the turbo was missing 2 bolts holding it onto the manifold. Take a look at urs mate. Replacing these made my car like new. And avoid anything less than 95 octane. If your on 91 either put some octane booster in there or stay off the boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
