Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Legacy Donating Member 11,198 Member For: 15y 1m 21d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 14/02/12 08:51 PM Posted 14/02/12 08:51 PM Hey Rosie,We recently got a couple of these at the company I work with.. Everyone has exactly the same complaint.. Even though they are pretty good once above about 10km/h..Someone here was saying (But no idea how true this is), that ford may be attempting an improvement with a factory ECU re-flash that will be done at servicing. I'd be interested to confirm this though.Congrats on the purchase I still think they are great cars.

Most of the fixes seem too be around increasing the throttle blade angle @ low load/speed too get the turbo up on song quicker

And do NOT use bio diesel even though it says bio5 or 10 is ok stay away from the sh*t
