Guest Ian Steele Guests Posted 21/05/05 12:28 AM Share Posted 21/05/05 12:28 AM conrod #6 through the block, new long engine, ford wouldn't honour the warranty, even though the original factory setting was loaded prior it going back, $7449.95 supplied and fitted, how long do you think I should run it in for before editing again? Is there a fix for the traction control now? anyone tried it? It's good to be back on the road even if I am significantly poorer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/page/4/#findComment-255176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Steele Guests Posted 21/05/05 12:35 AM Share Posted 21/05/05 12:35 AM I've just read some of the above, well I did pay and was always prepared to pay, but it is up to Ford to catch me, not for me to dob myself in. I'll get the engine back here in a day or 2 and post some pictures. I've seen it, it has quite an impressive hole in it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/page/4/#findComment-255178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly given that the motor should be able to handle 10PSI without letting go and that a standard tune was reloaded back into the vehicle, as it is has been stated by many that Edit reflashes are supposed to be stealth and hence undetectable by Ford. Is this not the case? I am sure a lot of the edit boys would like to know About 3000ks should be OK before boosting it up again, though I could understand if you were reticent in doing so Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/page/4/#findComment-255182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you tell them or did they pick up the fact that you were running the 10PSI edit when viewing ECU history??

homerj Member 52 Member For: 21y 7m 4d Location: Berwick,Melbourne Posted 21/05/05 10:33 PM Share Posted 21/05/05 10:33 PM After speaking to my service manager recently I have decided not to go the edit till the warranty is up. He has said that there is definitely information in the ecu which gets wiped when reflashed, sort of like formatting the HDD and loading a fresh WinXP - that's how they pick it up. Anything which can be construed to be as a fault of the ECU I.e. the whole engine - will not be honoured as warranty.As mentioned in another post - CAI and exhaust all okay - not so sure with insurers though........Matt Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/page/4/#findComment-255475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
