That sounds similar to what I had.
Off-boost, medium load, partial throttle, higher gears. Slight hesitations. THe waste-gate solenoid fixed that on mine, after they had been through about a...
Good news kmh001... at last!
No probs with the MPS6 at 60 or 65 in 6th. I always used to sit in 6th around town in mine if I could. Fuel economy gets much better. It's fine as long as you aren't trying to climb a hill or get...
It was running like crap. Hesitating off-boost mainly, when under moderate load. So say 3rd gear, up a slight hill, or AC on, 2000 - 2500 rpm, it would hesitate and generally feel crap. Once on boost...
Ah the old wastegate solenoid trick... they replaced many thousands of $ worth of parts on my car before they realised that's what it was. Only took them about 6 months too... with the last spell...
I had a towbar on mine for 3 years. The Mazda one for the Mazda6 too, not an aftermarket one (the salesman didn't know it wasn't supposed to be fitted to the MPS, we did the contract with it on. He...
He he he... :)
:whistle: tell me about it... :weed:
Brilliant work. Well done... dif in my MPS6 was replaced at about 15,000km. By 25,000 the whine was back. Never bothered getting it replaced again. Last service before I sold it they dropped the diff...
Welcome... :2thumb:
As someone said to me recently.... SELL IT!!! :LOL:
Racing them yes, but blowing them off to see the priceless look on their faces in your mirror = win. :D
:2funny: :dunk:
Boom boom.... well done.
Managed to get her out of the car yet Jim? :whistle:
Running like a charm. :D And no I'm not just saying that cos it's up for sale LOL.
Seriously, the stutters are all gone. Mid-range pull is improved, and it feels like it wants to go again, which...
Going back a while in the UK Ford did the fwd Sierra XR4i and an XR4x4. Both had the same amount of power with a 2.8l V6 (150bhp LOL). The 4x4 had a slightly lower top speed (heavier, more drivetrain...
Ummm.... a stock SS is currently 270KW and 530NM torque, not 300.

Wastegate solenoid was faulty apparently.
:D LOL... mine is running very well now. It took them long enough to fix it, but it's nice to have it back and driving the way it's supposed to.
It's a shame, now that it's all sorted it's up for...
Sold.
LOL @ EQ. Should I tell KMH001 to send the money to you Jim? :D
I have a set of Denso 1 step colder for sale if anyone is interested. Never been used... $90 seem fair?
LOL... been there done that. New Transfer assembly fitted earlier this year (apparently there was a service bulletin on that).
Hey, this got escalated to Japan, so the dealer was just following instructions. The car feels really sharp, mid-range response is awesome. New turbo, new injectors, new fuel pump, new plugs, new...
It's fixed....
Picked it up yesterday after nearly 5 weeks in the workshop. The issue? Wastegate solenoid.
Only problems - the new sat nav screen is busted, my bluetooth doesn't work any...
