Warranty

[shadyxr]

Hi All, Just picked the "T" up from local dealer after some warranty work and have just noted on the job docket, 2 recall campaigns listed as follows.

PRGC264 & PROG309 "Carried out recall tested OK". Any ideas what these are. I was late picking the car up and did not get any details. Will call them tomorrow & post answers unless someone knows about them.

309 is the overboost fix... I'm not sure about 264 though...

Had the car serviced yesterday they said the turbo had to be inspected and the overboost flash update installed

Does the overboost update have any effect on edit ?

No.

You flash your map straight back in.

No.

I was under the impression that when the dealer fixes the overboost problem he flashes the ECU. WHich means he has overwritten the edit you had.

Sure enough you can flash your edit back in but the overboost problem will also be flashed back exactly as it was before.

Except that the Edit doesnt have 'Overboost' problems in the first place. Its designed to Overboost

You should ALWAYS flash back your Edit'd car to Factory before ANY Ford Factory Service, just cause u can

Then boost her up when you get it back.

The only problem is the Factory tune in your edit will not be the same as the factory in the ECU. Apparently you need to send the unit back to CAPA to be wiped. If you put your old factory tune back intot he car you will be flashing the pre overboost map and the next time Ford flash the ECU, they will see it is running an older version and know it has been edited

Are you sure about that?

I was under the understanding that the new map from Ford gets loaded back into the Standard slot when you load your modded tune into the car?

Actually that is a very good point. If they see an old version in your car that they know they have already flashed, you will have some explaining to do. I'll bet that's why they flash yer car to fix so called problems....just to keep an eye on you.

Oh well, my warranty is almost up anyways....

Cheers
