Regardless he said if 'noticed' and you had thrown a rod or something, well you get what you expect.He pointed out that it is not just the dealers decision to provide warranty and gave a prime example:- XR6T had come in with a blown turbo.- Service call Ford for a replacement part.- Ford refuse prior to sending a factory rep to inspect the vehicle!!!- Ford rep arrives some time later and asks to see the car and notes custom exhuast etc. Went over it with a fine tooth comb and apparently knew what to look for.- Warranty refused by Ford Australia with no 'help' from this dealer.So there you go.I'm not going to mention the dealer by name for obvious reasons and 'cause he's doing me some favours.

Nah, not Sinclair Ford.Point is the dealer had NOTHING to do with the refusal of warranty. They were going to replace the turbo but when they called Ford, Ford said no, no, no, not until we inspect the car.Sounds like someone at Ford is on to the cult of mods.

Many car makers will insist on one of their experts having a look if a car either has repeting expensive problems, or else a major part that will cost the company thousands blows up. Kind of like an insurance company person having a poke around after your car got stolen. Its just doing due diligence before the company agrees to part with $1000+ to fix what they know to be quite an unusual problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
