Also sometimes the idling makes the car shudder slightly. Oil has only done 3,000KM's, I would be lucky to do 5,000KM's between 6 monthly services.Your car seems the same as mine when I was at your kms (had diff bushes and belts changed around the 85,000km mark)... I too have had a very minor shudder at like traffic lights (but the needle never moves). I've got 133,000kms now and its done it on and off for a while now. If you get it sorted before me, let me know how you got on and what they changed (I also have a weird rev bounce occasionally in the mornings or cold start where the needle bounces between like 700 and 900 rpm; but then goes away once I rev the car out). Not sure if related though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if related though lol Diff bushes were changed before I got it. The needle never seems to bounce with mine, it's just the idling problem.Unfortunately I live in a unit with nowhere to store tools or work and a no working on the car policy. Once I get my own place next year, no more problems there.Spark plugs were changed with gapped ones as part of the work XFT did in 2013. However a search of the forums says to check coils and injectors. The injectors are ID1000's installed again in 2013 by XFT, so if they need a clean, I guess I'll need to find someone in Perth that does ultrasonic injector cleaning. If one needs replacing, I'll be a little ticked off that they don't even last a few years.All the work done by XFT was done for the previous owner and I never received any receipts for it from him when I got the car. Not sure if contacting Simon with the rego or VIN will help at all, I doubt you get more than 12 months warranty on the parts anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video I couldn't really tell much from (I'm no expert so don't believe everything I say LOL). I was surprised your injector noise does sound the same as my stock ones....(I had stupid Ford clean them around 30,000kms ago and they have started to be a little louder once again).The plugs with XFT doesn't guarantee that they gave you new plugs....AFAIK they just regap whatever plugs are in there. Kinda sh*t that the previous owner didn't supply any paperwork for stuff done...but Simons a bit ghey and probably won't even give you a copy of invoice and will probably tell you to retune again I've been told Rob @ Monsta Torque is a lot better to deal with (especially if there are issues with the car down the track).Injector cleaners were bloody expensive in Perth last time I tried to do the ring around...some places wanting as much as $100 PER INJECTOR...lol I ended up outsourcing my job to a bloke in Eastern States for like $100 total (but no idea if he does ID injectors or anything other than genuine bosche)...plus you'd have the issue of not being able to drive your car while waiting for the injectors to come back, etc.Anyways....good luck with it all mate. Hopefully Fraud or whoever can diagnose the issue relatively quickly and it doesn't cost you too many $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
