There are none at the moment and have ben totally happy with my car.Any moral support?

It'll take them 2 minutes to tell you if it's low on gas !Chips has indicated this is common symptoms, so I'd make sure the dealer doesn't do stuff because they have NFI !!Pretzel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14528-fault-with-ac/page/2/#findComment-211288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a module called the 'hym module' Not quite sure of spelling ie 'hym' or 'HIM'. My precious was in bits on Tuesday afternoon (centre console out, all I could see was this big gap in the middle of the dash, plastic bits and peices stacked in the back seat). Got the car back this afternoon all back together. Was worried about rattles etc, trim not lining up, but all seems good so far. Actually took some photos beofre it went in and have since compared them tonight and all is good. Will see how it goes over the next week to make sure there aint no rattles etc.Anyway the Air Con is freezing now, probably better than what it was originally.When I returned the curtosey car this morning, I gave a bottle of wine to the service advisor for assisting where possible, asked to speak with the tech working on my car to give him a 6 pack of hineken after realising how much work already has been involved rectifying the fault and a bottle of red to the curtosey bus driver who drove me to and from work for the last couple of days. I know I didnt have to do it, but was a gesture of appreciation for the good work they did for me. Have been absolutley happy with the service from Metro Ford in the valley. Keep up the good work Metro.Happy ending..... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14528-fault-with-ac/page/2/#findComment-217431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
