These bits would also be removed when the oil is changed.

I had around 25000km on it when this happened, I rang ford and asked whats the f*#king go with the caps and they said it was probably caused from overtightening. It wasnt expensive which surprised meShane Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17005-opinions-wanted/page/2/#findComment-243538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
