December 22, 200223 yr #1 The other day was sitting in traffic with the air con on and b4 me the oil light started flashing and I heard a series a beeps and the motor shut down I read something similar on the wheels magazine car of the year issue. Anyway went back to ford apparently the oil temp sender has the wrong setting on it . They punch in the right code in at first service bugger that I went there and there and looking at the log book services are at 15000km I will be dropping the oil and filter on mine atleast every 5000km DONT FORGET GUYS IT IS A TURBO....
December 22, 200223 yr #3 I think what he's referring to is an full ECU firmware upgrade to correct that oil temp bug.

It's a modern turbo running very low boost with higher grade oil being used than in the stock BAs.
December 23, 200223 yr #5 I think it has got something to do with the temp. settings that put the car into limp home mode. But the turbo runs hotter than an NA XR, therefore Ford are re-setting the temp cut-out up a few degrees to eliminate this problem
