XFtoXE

Thanks guys most appreciated. 

Quick question. Does a brake booster VH356 off a XC fit a XE?

Any answers appreciated.

Hi guys

I recently acquired a AU ute with the 260 boss motor and sounded fantastic but for a RWC I had to put a resonator on to quieten it down. Now you can hardly here it.

So I'm asking has any one used one of these exhaust bypass systems and are they any good?

Looking forward to this tutorial but where do you buy the diaphragms.

Hi all

Need some help with a brake booster out of a XE. I don't want to spend $400+ on a refurbished one, so i'm after a kit with the diaphragms but can't find anyone that sells them.

Does anybody know where to find one. If not is there a later model booster that will fit for example XF or later.

Any help appreciated. Peter.

Well for $28 the Pedders check was good value. Turned out to be the LH eye bolt was loose, and they tightened it for FREE.

But the rest of the check ranging from adjusting wheel bearings $40 to various worn bushes added up to more than the ute is worth.

Cheers and thanks again.

Thanks for those ideas, but all appear to be ok. To me anyway.

Booked it into Pedders for a check tomorrow and i'll let you know if they find the problem.

Thanks for that came off with a bit of persuasion, but all bolts on the torque convertor are tight.

Forgot to mention it's a ute, but all rear suspension is good and tight.

Could it be a engine knock? It's only a intermittent noise on acceleration but not in neutral 

Thanks I'll check the rear bushes tomorrow 

Where is the inspection plate? I know where it is on a FMX & C4, but BW 35 is not removable. Appears to be one piece.

If that makes sense.

Hi guys

The problem I have in my xe 250 cross flow & bw-35 auto is a loud knocking when I accelerate round a corner.

But not all the time. Cruising at 100k's no noise.

I'm thinking maybe torque converter bolts loose. Is it possible to check/tighten the bolts without dropping the tranny out.

Any help appreciated.

Yea I am a novice when it comes to gas just needed to be reassured.

Smithy's in bayswater fitted the gas and the fuel gauge to the original petrol gauge.

 Looks a bit different now with a face lift

Thankyou thankyou

you seem to know more about my car than i do.

Hi.

Straight gas

Not sure what a closed loop is.

Peel cp30

Hi guys

I had a fire under the bonnet a while back witch took out most of my wiring.

I've rewired lights, ign, etc, but not sure about the gas side of things.

Ideally a diagram of the wiring connecting the coil, cutoff valve, primer, peel cp30 etc.

But any info would be appreciated.

Cheers Peter

Hey Hellenikboy

If you block them off you won't heater controls.

One goes to the heater tap on the inlet hose and one to vaccum manifold

swap them around till you get heater controls

With the carbon cannister it all depends on how much respect the environment

Found a loom at centre road wreckers out of a v8 which is a very rare find at a self serve wreckers

Also bonnet cable, C4 inhibitor switch and a pocket full of nuts and bolts to cover the $2.00 entry fee.

Cost me under $50 so it was a good day.

Not sure how the fire started most likely electrical as per your post.

No fire in the cabin but a lot of plastic has melt under dash.

I consider myself lucky as I pulled up next to a auto shop and they came out with a extinguisher and a fire station just around the corner

were there in 15 minutes. 

If 6 cylinder loom is the same that would be good.

Thank you for your help. After jacking up the front managed to get a coat hanger into the hole in the latch and pop, up goes the bonnet.

Help most appreciated  

Now the hard part of rewiring.

cheers

Hey Guys

I had a small fire in the engine bay that must have melted the bonnet cable and can't pop the bonnet.

Is there another easy way to open the bonnet.

Any help appreciated

Thanks for the tips. but all check out ok. Any more ideas welcome.

Hey Guys

I have a 351C xe fairmont on straight gas GRA system. My problem is, it is bogging down on acceleration and lacking in overall performance.

My question is does the GRA system have a filter and if so where is it?

Cheers
