God666 Complete Bastard Donating Members 1,123 Member For: 21y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Jesus H Christ! $450. Do yourself a favour and have a look at what is involved in the B Service which is due at 45,000 km. It is all well explained in the service booklet in your glovebox. It is meant to take them about 1.2 hours from memory. What the hell did they charge you for?I have taken to the practice of doing my own oil and filter as I am using Castrol R Synthetic and my local Ford dealer didn't have it. I now buy it direct from the Castrol dealer so the oil and filter for a change costs me about $90. Then I use Auto Pass in Sydney as they come to my workplace to do the work. Last week my 45,000 service cost me $99. I still take warranty work to MoFoCo.

God666 Complete Bastard Donating Members 1,123 Member For: 21y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I wouldn't complain if they did $450 worth of work but when MoFoCo tell you it is a 1.2 hour service, I have to question their labour rate.However, seeing that you have money to burn, go for it. I would rather spend my cash on other schitt if I can help it.

jet jockey Member 36 Member For: 21y 1m 21d Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Put the car in for its service running the best it ever has. Picked it up that afternoon got 200m down the road and on the first gear change after full throttle head a loud pop, when I got back on the gas there was a loud induction noise and no acceleration. So straight back to dealer, inlet hose had blown off just before it crosses back over the engine into the throttle. Hose reattached so off I go again, now on gear change I hear a flutter coming from the B.O.V. Prior to the service on gear change, was hearing the B.O.V. venting with the usual pssht.Service guys say that, the way it is now, is normal and even took me for a drive in another car which was the same. I guess what I would like to know form other members is, how does yours sound?l Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14326-45000km-service/#findComment-319817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cro Flower Power Lifetime Members 6,114 Member For: 22y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It is meant to flutter.Does your car feel more powerful than before?My car felt down on power when I was hearing a pssht sound, and it was all back after the hose between the throttle body and cross over pipe was tightened.Went back to the flutter again Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14326-45000km-service/#findComment-319834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
