Dsc Issues On My 06 Bf Xr6T - Steering Column Misaligned

[(AUST)Mod]

My car is exhibiting the exact same symptoms. I am dropping it off at Ford for a repair in 30 mins. I am going to print off this thread and give it to them

Nothing pisses off a mechanic more than "the internet forum told me this". Just let them have a go first. If that fails, then consider that option.

As expected, they ignored the internet print out suggested fix and have said I need a new column at $1,600.00.

Can you live without the car for a few days andrew? I know a great little machine shop that could knock up a collar out of ally pretty cheap. You could probably get half a dozen made up and sell the other five to cover your cost!

Sure can Luke I have several other cars at my disposal.

Why not have a crack at fixing it yourself if you have other cars to drive, take your time and wont you much at all

I am having a friend at another Ford dealership calibrate it, and then I will look into securing the sensor. Until it is calibrated, I wouldn't have a clue which position to start with.

It will need to be calibrated after, not before securing

try the wreckers.... a lot cheaper!! I fitted one today to a BF XT Mk1 had the ring but no steering angle sensor...
