Hi Guys!

I just thought I would post and let you all know that I haven't had any problems with my AU XR6 VCT ST at all!

Cheers!

Thats great, me neither

MRJUCY · 25-07-2006, 08:55 AM

You're not alone, actually dammit the T series symbol is torn on my passenger floor matt does that count?

dansedgli · 25-07-2006, 09:00 AM

I hope you realize that by proclaiming your lack of problems you will start to have many.

Fairlane · 25-07-2006, 09:05 AM

AU's are grand arent they.

Well i guess we have to have some compensation for being outcasts in society.

What about the Holden that was stuck to your rear? Wasn't that a problem?

What about the fact that it's not a V8 - to me, that is a BIG problem.

Or the fact that the fuel mixtures are way too rich on the factory tune - surely that's a problem?

clontarf_x · 25-07-2006, 02:21 PM

Yes No Yes

I don't like you anymore :P

Still meant to be getting it lowered some day.... when I get the money.... and time....

i have heaps of problems, shuddering clutch, backlash in the diff it is starting to really **** me off

autickfordfairmont · 25-07-2006, 04:37 PM

Your very lucky then.

I havent had any real problems, except for the collapsed left lower ball joint, then the subsequent stuffing of 2 tyres (Fords Fault for not doing wheel alignment after replacing ball joints), followed by a major overfueling issue, followed by a completely stuffed cat, oh and now a clonk in the front suspension, and also its decided to leak power steering fluid, not just a drip or a dribble, but a bloody pool of it from one of the seals, hmmm what else, oh the lovely diff whine oh how that sound sooths my soul, that lovely AU warped rotors feel under braking, hmmm, i think thats all. Oh no thats right, radiator top tank and hoses as well as thermostat. Yeah thats it i think.

Almost as good as the old faithful EA, no problems there either, after the alternator **** itself, radiator top tank split , thermostat stuffed up, that never ending oil leak, which i just couldnt be stuffed getting fixed (Stop leak normally worked well for a couple of months), battery, power steering pressure switch, & whatever else i cant remember, then the gear box eating the **** out of itself, so i decided to fix it & sell it, only to have it eat itself again 4 weeks later just before someone was meant to take it for a test drive.

Apart from that no real problems with my cars, they have been very good to me, haha. I do have to say though although i dont mind things such as said above as to me its just part of owning cars, in all that time, my parents & Ex Fiancee both had Toyotas and all they ever needed (Same age as my cars) was oil & filter every 10,000km and tyres when needed, the japs sure do know how to build cars.

It's not low enough, that's a problem isn't it? LOL!

XR6Stu · 26-07-2006, 10:30 PM

Only one of all the above I agree with is the shuddering diff. I have various other "problems" as above, but the clutch shudder REALLY gives me the $4!t$!

eXi7w0unD · 27-07-2006, 04:56 PM

0 problems with mine, body kit goes on friday and week after im getting 20's w()()T!

Dark Horse · 27-07-2006, 07:12 PM

Clontarf, you crack me up mate. I guess there is no harm in stating the obvious regarding the AUIII XR6!

I have one problem - she needs needs a wash.
