Guest BennyXRT Guests Posted 10/06/04 08:23 AM Share Posted 10/06/04 08:23 AM Just looked on my service invoice from the serivce last week, and I saw this note:"ECU: reset and re-calibrate"Is this what you guys are talking about? Does this mean my XR is going to run like a bucket of sh*t now? I haven't really driven it much since then so I can't comment on fuel consumption etc.Ben.

Furthermore he says that they did have a couple issues with some updates and stopped using them Benny, nah, they did that on my car when I first got it when I thought it was running rough, its didnt do jack so I dont think you have any issues there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I was told, they cant actually do an update unless the computer comes up with error codes in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(DUH.. thanks to scotty for the skid lessons ) Other then that... it was eligible for the PRGC309 recall, which consisted of a reflash (which I told them not to do until they found out what it was for and they still did it anyways, THANKS A LOT) and shortening of a vacumm hose which is too long from the factory and will rub on the engine and tear... well that's what they told me... perhaps someone in the know can find out what exactly PRGC309 isnone the less.. all up it was $171.90not to bad.. and the car is still running well (took it for a long drive afterwards to test this flash incase it did funky things) Ford!Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t you have rust elsewhere as well – or has that already been fixed? You really have to stop driving your T down the main beach at surfers you goose.Trent.

(DUH.. thanks to scotty for the skid lessons ) Seems an expensive lesson. 4 tyres = :o loads of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my 19's second hand from Dynosteve and he gave them a good workout back in the day... so since he gave them to me for a good price, it's my turn to fork out some $$$ for new rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
