Paradoxx

I can't believe that zip file is still there. I haven't had a Westnet account since 2007! Just incase they delete it I have saved a copy. Steve

Ahh so the initial tune would have been considered "safe" for running in I guess. *Sigh* I miss the T! One day...

How have you been running it in? Is it up for its first oil change?

This is what I'm looking at http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevemarr2011/6640121223/

Don't know, none of those are listed in my service specification book for BFII Fairmont with 6 Sp Auto

Just getting up to speed here... well done Al. Sounds (and looks) like you have excelled yourself yet again! Steve

This http://www.gulfwestern.com.au/Data%20Sheet%20PDFs/syntrans_atf.pdf doesn't mention anything about Ford specification WSS-M2C919-D for the 6 speed auto. It's not mentioned on their website... maybe they just got some stickers made up??

Checked with the Ultratune mechanic today, he was under the impression I had a 4 speed p.s. isn't my status supposed to change from "inactive member" back to "Donating Member", which I was originally?

I doubt it, the price was for Valvoline and it is a suburban Ultra tune

Cheers, I have the feeling he thinks it's just the 4 speed. I might stay on the cautious side and follow Ford's instructions. Definite blast from the past! I haven't been in here for about 18 months. I'm getting a vibration at about 90-100km/h which I'm thinking might be the diff, hoping it isn't the ZF. Hopefully a fluid change will sort that out.

Has anyone else asked about a stock standard ZF service? My trustworthy dealer (been using them happily for years) says they just don't touch the 6 speed autos, and "anyone who does is just asking for trouble". I have been advised to get the gearbox serviced by a different service centre (much closer to where I live) who says he can do it for $190 including fluid. This prompted me to ask a few questions, and hearing that my Ford dealer doesn't touch them has raised alarm bells for me. Steve

Glad to help

Here's an update, you don't need to remove the steering wheel. The back of the indicator stalk comes off, its got a small hook holding it in place at the base. If you release that, the backing comes off, exposing all those wires, giving you a bit more length to solder it back together. I found two wires broken. Soldered them and put heat shrink on, put it all back together and its all sweet. Just saved 600 bucks

Mine does the same thing, it seems to be an alignment thing. They have re-calibrated my steering angle sensors about 5 times, its good for about 15000km but faults constantly now. I'm out of warranty now so I guess its gonna cost me a few pennies this time :( My car has the light come on every time I drive it now, so annoying. Last time I went they told me to get new tyres, a wheel alignment, then they will re-calibrate it. Only ford can do it cos no other service places have the software.
