I also asked the inital sevice girl who called to book the car in if it was compusory, and I was told no but hey I bet they would have flashed it at the next service anyway. Well the story goes, I have a boost gauge has always read 6PSI when flooring it scine new, and now after the reflash, guess what 5PSI boost NOT 6PSI.AGAIN NOT HAPPY JAN!!

dave- Member 157 Member For: 20y 24d Location: Melbourne Posted 08/02/05 12:10 PM Share Posted 08/02/05 12:10 PM After waiting a week for the service department to "fit me in" for a f#cking reflash which they required the car all day, I get there this afternoon to find out that they didn't do sh*t! In 6 or 7hrs all they managed to come up with is my TPS is faulty and a new one has been ordered. Don't worry about any other issues I might have, they just don't have time to look at them heh. I specifically asked about the PRGC309 update as this was the main reason for booking the car in and was told quite clearly that it was NOT the cure for overboost, my car did not need it and they did not do it!!!The service manager claims that my car already had the "latest" software. Which clearly isn't the case seeing as the previous dealer who did the 3000km service stated on the invoice that they could not do the PRGC309 reflash as their equipment had not yet been updated and it was to be done next time my car was in. I guess my car has been updated with the magical happy fairy pcm reflash that just floats on in as you drive past your friendly ford dealer Guess I'll have to bring in a copy of the service program thing posted earlier in this thread along with a swift kick to the freaking head!Feel much better now, dont think I even made any sense hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdeknock Member 21 Member For: 20y 2m 2d Posted 09/02/05 04:19 AM Share Posted 09/02/05 04:19 AM Booked my car in for a few items to be fixed and asked about the reflash, was told unless I had a problem it will cost me and not be under warranty. The service guy then said do I have any flat spots - I said funny you mention that - was then told they will load it and hope it address the problem!Guess this is the difference between a factory recall and a word of mouth fix if you identify a problem.

(this was when I dropped off the car).Mine was only 6 weeks old !!Even the receptionist could tell me that the flash was deemed required by FoMoCo, when I asked at the time of booking.I was told by my dealer it was to address overboost, and that re-gapping the plugs was not working, hence the new Flash These guys really need to get their stories straight Having said all this tripe, mine runs a dream, just never enough goooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
