I am looking up what the differences in specs ford has changed with the g6et since 2008 till now. Obviouly this year has seen fg mkII but im mainly after any driveline updates, power upgrades or any medium to major changes to the cars year to year..like suspension revisions or satnav standard...things like this.
Basically all I can find is the bigger screen and front end treatments for fg mkII...and 19inch rims standard from 2010 onwards. Anything you know of would be appreciated as its very hard to find it all through the millions of threads and internet pages...yes there are millions ![]() ![]() |

The only little things I can think of (other than the mild cosmetic differences you pointed out) would be a revised A/C system (2008-2010 systems are rubbish) and a auto lockable fuel flap. Not sure if they strengthened the diff bushes in the MkII range but they are a big problem on the FGs

unreal isnt it
we bought the 08 G6E turbo and went to fill it up wit hfuel could not believe it didnt have a button to release the fuel cap i cant get my finger in the edge to open it so i use the corner of my wallet to open it when filling its odd because theres a little button inside the fuel cap, but it seems to do nothing when you click it in my aircon in the 08 is fine i reckon 40 degree day in SA and it handles it ok and the 08 bottom grill is better than the latest ones my god that massive bottom mouth is friggin ugly in my opinion.

Obviously the euro 4 changes which also brought in the plastic intercooler end tanks, the diff cradles were changed in 2011 to a stronger design, Ford deleted adjustable pedals, revised diff bushes, power steering reservoir is different (perhaps they changed something, failed pumps weren't uncommon in earlier builds) that's all I can think of right now.

I've got some FG brochures that I downloaded in 2010 and 2011 (these are almost the same) and also a mkII brochure that I can email you. Looking at the different brochures, it looks like the FG and FG mkII turbo engines have the same outputs.

I had to sit at the servo and get my wife to read the manual, lol. Meanwhile, I was on my knees looking under the dash for a release button....

LOL
good to see im not the only dumbass! :P filled up with fuel today got out the car and pushed the fuel cap...nothing flicked it open (managed to actually squeeze my finger in there!) and noticed that the little black button with the rubber over it is pushed in so the filler door has nothing to spring against while its like that and i guess thats why its not working 'correctly'

Random facts.
Late 2010 onwards models got a shorter IPOD cable. They also got the Vin number stamped on the drivers floorpan, with the carpet having a nasty cheap cutout because of it. Was this some stupid ADR rule or something?
