OI! The FIRST series of EA was Crap...... The 1989 model. :whistling
Yes the first EA was a pile of crap, thing is though if you look back at it, this was really FORDS fault, they tried to release a new car at the same time as a new engine package with not enough testing for either. I remember reading a review saying that the badges were falling off the car on the test drive which is kind of funny.
The thing is though, the thing that frustrates me is this, the falcon was known for brake disks that warp (brake shudder) and my ef had it too, so bad you could hardly hold onto the steering wheel. The widly used fix was to fit DBA long life rotors and bendix pads.
Now if the EA started in 89, and I still had this issue in 96, I know that the AU had huge issues with it aswell. This is 10 years of the SAME ISSUE.
Why couldn't ford see the damn obvious and fix the issue at hand, rather than depending on customers to buy aftermarket parts.
This issue with the VE is sort of the same, o.k., no fires yet but this engine is not brand new, it has been in previous model cars, there would be heaps of them with several thousands of KM on them, and after a billion dollars on developing a car, there teling us they can't hook up a fuel hose?
I know other car makers have issues, as I have stated before I am not brand biased here, just wishing that there was a little more quality inbuilt into the car.
