Guest Guests Posted 30/10/04 07:36 AM Share Posted 30/10/04 07:36 AM Sounds like Ford Australia have really done their homework. If they think they got their arses kicked with EA head gaskets they ain't seen nothing yet.Ford worldwide have had plenty of experience with turbos eg Sierra RS500.There are no excuses.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>here here!

Can't say to much don't want to get the guy into trouble. All I will say is that they've rewitten the software. They are driving test vehicles around as I speak and all indications are Thunderbirds Are GO. I;ll think I'll keep mine know. The same guy removed all my fault codes as well. Man have they got some good sh t to play with. All can be done in real time. Dynowog I'd like to see what you could do with it. 8000 control points 2d, maps 3d maps, constaints etc. the list goes on and on.If the edit system is partually as good as the real thing. Its the way forward that's for sure.Been a very productive day. macka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13481-newsflash/page/6/#findComment-181252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer says that I now have to wait until FoMoCo release the new flash upgrade. Why? I asked. The car was running fine before the 15k service so sure it was something that was done during the 15k service. The dealer said that apparently it was faulty software uploaded to the car's ECU during the serivce and now all their customers have the same problem - overboosting. So in the meantime, they've bypassed the wastegate solenoid and I'm waiting and waiting for the fix. Grrrr.If its the new firmware causing the issue, why don't they flash it back to what the car was delivered with ?
