Peter_M Member 31 Member For: 13y 10m 13d Posted 22/09/13 09:45 AM Author Share Posted 22/09/13 09:45 AM Sorry guys, meant Geelong not Frankston.. I have spoken to afew blokes with abit of experience with the xr6t's and all three of them said last time they encountered this issue it was an ECU issue.. Logicar do ECU tests for $120 which I think is my next option, and if a problem is found, the test fee is waived and I'm only charged the repair costs..Keddy, by saying theres water in the box, what do you mean by that? What am I meant to do to fix/diagnose it, and what are my options?Thanks for all the replies guys, its really appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this have any relation?Also in regards to the trans-cooler, theres nothing on the invoice about a trans cooler... is there any way of checking if fluid has leaked, or if I have a transcooler at all?

When the oil pan was dropped bayswater trans found one of the connectors came off.Plugged it back in and went back to normal.Im not saying all of yours are disconnected but worth a look, and doesnt cost a fortune.
