Wives are a different story, they whine a lot and it gets louder as they get older. I highly recommend replacing a whining wife.

Is it really loud? Louder than the turbo off a big truck?

I will keep these offers in mind. Think I may have to live with for a while and save for the repair/replace/rebuild unless I can convince Ford to change their mind. Meanwhile here's hoping the turbo doesn't go or do any damage before that happens. It sounds like a high spinning small kitchen appliance. Never sat in a truck before.Cheers for the advice peeps, $7k compared to 1,2 or 3 thousand weighs a whole lot diff on my mind.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 22d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 21/07/10 12:34 PM Share Posted 21/07/10 12:34 PM I got mine swapped a month ago under warranty - they dumped my brand new edge oil and put in their standard 10w-30 without asking me, then Ford informed them after the fact that the oil and filter aren't covered. They tried to charge me $90 for dumping my $100 oil which now needs replacing again. I argued and ended up paying $17 for the filter only.Point being though mine was 90,000ks / a week shy of warranty expiring and they swapped it. Simon from XFT here put in a good word even though his usual mate wasn't working at the time which may have helped get it done. Car is stock, never tuned, only F6 intake and K&N filter.I was sh*tting bricks a little thinking they might deny it though. Hope you can get it done at a different dealer mate.
