mpvella Member 6 Member For: 19y 11m 24d Posted 19/01/06 02:13 AM Author Share Posted 19/01/06 02:13 AM I just found out that they didnt send out the turbo after the engine rebuild. mob said to. The "service technician" decided against it. I had to call the service manager and he agreed with me/them and sent out the turbo!What happens to all those poor smoes who dont follow up and ask for numbers and make enquires themselves????If I didnt the turbo would have been put back in as is with a high chance of having metal in it and going through tthis whole thing again? Ford never ceases to amaze me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed, because I sourced an engine fully loaded that will handle up to 40 psi boost for around $4500.40psi boost hey! Didn't happen to be a diesel did it?and the Ford guy doesn't know what he is talking about.....Not hanging sh*te on you and I don't doubt your story however, if you are going to give MOFO a hard time about their poor service and lousy facts, do just a little homework first.Standard XR6T boost is about 6psi. Many guys run a lot higher however..... 40psi.... I don't even run that much pressure in my tyres!Oh, and by the way, if your service comes from MOFO just north of the bridge in Sydney.... yep.... I believe every word you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basil135 Member 46 Member For: 19y 2m 8d Posted 23/01/06 12:02 AM Share Posted 23/01/06 12:02 AM I would be sending a fax to Ford's "Customer Care" centre in Melbourne. Just make sure you have all of your facts. When I complained about them "forgetting" to put the traction control on the car when it was built, (long story - dont ask ) I managed to get the next 4 services free. Do the sums on that one.
