    Ask Smithy Xtra Diff issues in 07 BF Falcon

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2007
    I own a 2007 BF Falcon MK 2 XR6 with 75,000 km on the odo. I bought with 20,000 km on it, but I have had severe diff problems ever since. Ford has replaced the diff five times and on the final inspection it was noted that another dealer had replaced my diff with another customer?s faulty one. I still have the problem. Do you think I am entitled to some form of compensation or if Ford will offer me a full refund on the purchase price of the car?

    There were a lot of diff problems with the BA/BF Falcon and Ford was replacing them with monotonous regularity. On cars with higher kays they would sometimes fit a diff they’d removed from another car and had checked, so don’t be surprised that it happened with your car. If the warranty period is not yet up you might get some help from Ford, although I very much doubt they would refund your money or even offer financial compensation. Have a diff specialist assess your car and advise on what they can do to fix it.
