By the looks of the rpm and sounds of it the gearbox is going into limp mode an getting stuck in 3rd gear, thats why when you took off footflat it wasnt accelerating really hard
@@UrbanZee Nice mate glad u know, I think low fluid level can cause it but hopefully you can get away with a full service, I always put a full bottle of Lucas Oil Transmission Fix + Castrol TQ95 in the 4sp BTR's an it brings them back to life
HAHAHA - reminds me of my AU3 GLS Marlin Ute with everything inside needing fixing. Those sunglass holders fetch a decent coin and they break on every AU I've seen. Same as the roof lining and the door actuator - as well as the passenger side bottom seat moulding. Labour of love - did good. Got my AU ute off a family friend for a bargain after he passsed away. No reg or roadworth just yet but everything ready to go when I get some cash available. unde 111,000km and clean as now.
search up pan the organizer on youtube and watch his yearly product awards some of the best working products and i use a lot of his list (with few aus substitutues as he is american)
G'day, mate. I also have an AU series ll Ford Falcon SR sedan - Narooma Blue - T-bar Automatic. From memory, my car was built on October 29th, 2001. Centrally series III. I do have quite a few videos on my AU on my UA-cam channel(Bill's Channel - sta) Cheers, mate, from William. Mount Gambier, South Australia.
Gotta love the AU mate, brilliant cars and so bloody nice to drive!!! BTW The intech is better i think and to mod. PS lol who ever painted it also painted that trailer in the background
Hey mate maybe you could do a Vid on how you cleaned the inside, technique, what chemicals etc, the steamer and different chemicals you used did a fantastic job. I’d be keen to learn for my cars.
I remember driving my sister's au around the blind spots in the front and back a piller and c piller are scary you cant see out of them and there hecticly over powered
hey bro sick car where in vic are you from? me an all the other melbourne youtubers get together from time to time and arrange a bunch of sponsors and stuff to come out and meet guys doing youtube
yeah, 100% as long as there is a cat and you dont go over decibel rating for epa you will be fine with that, but you wont get full coverage insurance fyi so get third party@@Anthony-fq9ct
Thanks for the heads up brother! So are you saying that insurance will only cover someone else’s car, not mine, because mine has mods? If so, I’ll get third party. Good thing about owning a Falcon or a Commy is that we fix them ourselves right? Cheers again
yep your exactly right i wouldn't bother full coverage unless the car is 15-20k+ and stock form cause otherwise just fix yourself like you said, unless you wanna pay heaps yearly for shannons@@Anthony-fq9ct
Looks great.. Love seeing old Falcons brought back to life.
First class detail job has made the EA look almost brand new. Well done.
Nice vid mate, she’s a staunch rig
unchstay igray adlay
8:54 sounded like it started in 3rd or 4th gear

Great job!
Great Video Mate. Love this content

@@f4lcon-life487 not next video, but the video after i'll say how i fixed it cheers for the knowledge it is greatly appreciated
Good Job UrbanZ - cleaned up very nicely and well worth the effort
cheers mate i aprreciate it
This man gives me Benny surge vibes and i love ot! Just subscribed coz I froth AU falcon’s
Looks tidy as now, keen to see the rest of the of series for this one
Thats not rebel rear bar, thats TE T3 TS/TE50 style. Probably aftermarket fibreglass copy. But good job, got a soft spot for the AU's
Face only a mother cd love!!
(The AU front end!).
You've done a bang up job mate.
Great clip, mate. It’s certainly cleaned up nicely.
bruhh what I have almost the exact same car. Red xr6 hp motor with the same rebel/xr50 bar. Great video

Looks great mate well done
It’s come up like a treat well done mate
New subcriber will be watching these videos!!
So did ur fuel filter need a flare nut spanner to get other end of with a hardline going though it or were they both plastic locks on either end
plastic one end and nuts for the other
Hes back!!!
I’m not sure if I’m wrong. But you could use a bit more contrast on your pov camera, just a smidge more 😊😊
What does the territory intake do
Hey bro, what cleaning products do you run? Never seen an abused AU come back to life so well 🤙
search up pan the organizer on youtube and watch his yearly product awards some of the best working products and i use a lot of his list (with few aus substitutues as he is american)
That rear bar is a t series replica not the rebel.
Its always exciting looking under the rear seat haha
Awsome job mate ✌️
G'day, mate.

What’s the Terri intake for
Secretly love the AU 😁 Good to see one getting the treatment. Is that body kit standard on the XR6? looks a bit beefier.
Gotta love the AU mate, brilliant cars and so bloody nice to drive!!!
BTW The intech is better i think and to mod.
PS lol who ever painted it also painted that trailer in the background
haha au the world! but car was never painted thats my old mans trailer which he did himself XD
@@UrbanZee I was kidding about the paint lol is that a factory colour though?
Should run a colder plug, the straps were burned a fair way down or it's running lean.
I just brought an AU for $400.00 let's hope it lasts longer than the VX
It will!
@@Slater-rh1qr lol it didn't make it home sold it the next day, then brought an astra.................. you know how that went
@@IsometricAssets haha unlucky mate
Good to see another Red AU Falcon on UA-cam... Is it red hot chili?
Cleand up hows the mechanical? Not a restoration just a tidy up
Hey mate maybe you could do a Vid on how you cleaned the inside, technique, what chemicals etc, the steamer and different chemicals you used did a fantastic job. I’d be keen to learn for my cars.
Yeah, if i finish work on the cars ill post a tutorial on a basic detail steps and products potentially
I remember driving my sister's au around the blind spots in the front and back a piller and c piller are scary you cant see out of them and there hecticly over powered
hey bro sick car where in vic are you from? me an all the other melbourne youtubers get together from time to time and arrange a bunch of sponsors and stuff to come out and meet guys doing youtube
Oh, hey tristan im from south east suburbs do you have an email or something where I can contact you?
nice rig mate.. oath
Gearbox is in limp mode thats what its not kicking down and its slow
Do cops give demerit points or just defect for mods on p plates? Great video!
nah, depending if the mods are legal they wont give you anything and if the car is in roadworthy spec they cant defect you
Would you say headers, catback and cold air intake are legal enough that they shouldn’t defect or demerit points?
Great video BTW
yeah, 100% as long as there is a cat and you dont go over decibel rating for epa you will be fine with that, but you wont get full coverage insurance fyi so get third party@@Anthony-fq9ct

When taken the spark plugs out man have a air compressor there blow the shit out hole before you take the plug out
.stuck w[th intech geez.....bit rude....it's a great engine
So you cleaned your car
So its a complete detail and not a "Restoration" ok click bait.
its episode 1 in the series If i had a whole workshop and 50k more subscribers maybe i could afford to do full restores every video my bad XD
Put a turbo and a manual in it then learn how to drive 😂😂😂
