(Freeway centre partition) The report stated they welded the exhaust shield. I think I can see that the exhaust shield is in two pieces and they have spot welded them together.

She's filled it once in 12 months even though it's her car (I have a bike).And Redgum, your powers of deduction are impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 08/12/05 07:32 AM Share Posted 08/12/05 07:32 AM My 15,000km service at my dealer cost $180 including GST.I'm a little concerned that they have listed GTX2 oil there! GTX2 is a 20W-50 viscosity oil. Ford recommend 15W-40 viscosity oil for the XR6T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the next big numbers to keep an eye out on, and what are specifics that will be looked at in each service? whats the major service (and estimated costs)?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 5m 2d Posted 08/12/05 08:36 AM Author Share Posted 08/12/05 08:36 AM Do you think the oil viscosity is a problem ? I would like to take it back and force another oil change to 15-40 however getting there is always a problemI checked the manual and it states a warning about using other viscosities what do you reckon ? I hope they do a survey ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcook Member 752 Member For: 20y 4m 29d Location: leonay Posted 09/12/05 05:03 AM Share Posted 09/12/05 05:03 AM Wow ....just paid 390 for the 15k service...270 labor the rest for oil and small stuff...City FordAlthough I must say that getting the ecu updated (Manual MkII build oct 04) has made a huge difference to my gear changes...alot smoother I actually thought it was my driving style however now you wouldn't even notice the change. I think the revs hold up alittle more between changes. Don't know if I can tell any diff to the power as it was peak hour on the way home.I thought they may of commented on my front grill I installed. Got t off ebay some months ago however the car does not run any hotter with the grill installed.cheers<{POST_SNAPBACK}>did they lube you up and prepare you for penetration... or did they just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 5m 2d Posted 09/12/05 05:35 AM Author Share Posted 09/12/05 05:35 AM Phone up to complain about the GTX2They stated it was an error on the printout and that they either use magnatec & pentoil (or something like that)Charges 96 /hr ex GST so my 240.00 labor charge is correct however got find a place with a cheaper rate. The book states the servcie to be 2 hrs and they did do everything. ~$400 for a normal service ~$500 for a major service.I'll take my own oil next time, tell them not to use any additives and just pay for the 2 hrs labor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
