Had to get towed to nearest Ford dealer...Long weekend holiday so will be waiting till next week to see what the outcome is! Has anyone experienced a fault similar to this and if so what was the outcome? This car is not "thrashed" like some, infact it is very pampered!! (perhaps that is the problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds silly but I had my 2012 FG tuned for the first time last week. Now running 380HP!!!! And yes smilin from ear to ear anyway, I drove through the car was yesterday and now the check engine light is on. Was not able to fit the stone deflector up as the radiator has been moved back an inch and the intercooler is much much bigger. Not sure if this is tuned related or water somewhere it shouldn't be? The car is driving perfectly for now... I have called my local Super Cheap store to see if they have a diagnostic checker but they do not. I was obviously hoping the water would dry out and the light would turn off but not the case this morning. Before I take it back to my tuner I was hoping if I through it out someone might have a better idea than me? Any info would be greatly appreciated.Cheers guys.Chris.

Apparently it was non car wash related just coincidental... One of the sensor parameters had not been increased from factory setting and was causing CPU to think there was an issue. 20 minute fix... Thanks guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the second one the dealer has seen where bearing play on the turbine shaft has resulted in significant turbine whine. 2 months until warranty period ends.

Martyr Member 5 Member For: 9y 4m 12d Posted 31/12/14 01:46 AM Share Posted 31/12/14 01:46 AM (edited) Took my ex-pol in for investigation of two things;1) clunk after taking foot off accelerator (typically after accelerating hard)2) whine at >85km/h, only under load (accelerating)The answers I got where;1) Normal for all falcons2) tyres slightly feathered/rolleyesand ideas?more info: I had read this thread prior to taking it in. I specifically asked them to take a look at diff bushes and they said they were 'like new, someone had replaced them".
