Great to see Ford doing the correct thing all the best with the new motor. Hope you find out the official cause

That's not true.

Um yeh it takes me 4 - 5 months to do 8000K's I drive from one end of Adelaide to the other easily twice a week sometimes... Am doing around 30,000 kms a year... so... do the math I guess...

I hope they give me the new BF Motor 260Kw Wooo hooo..!!!

Does anyone know how to tell the differnce between the engines???

Yeah, it is easy to tell the difference, the BF motor has a BF car wrapped around it!

And where exactly did you get 260kw from? I thought they were 245kw...

Than can tell if you exceed the the rev limiter.

They pinged me for it, but still fixed the car.

Correct.

I think you have to hit the limiter at least 5 times before the code is logged.

A code isn't listed everytime you hit the limiter, they can't tell how many times it's happened exactly.

I'm just glad they didn't de-warranty me as they saw this when I was getting my turbo replaced (the first time)

I've been super bloody carefull not to hit the limiter TOO much from then on...

I have a BF 6sp auto and it works differently the my last 4 sp auto. As a result, I hit 1st gear at about 70km/h and bounced off the rev limiter twice. Since then I get a slight vibration under hard acceleration. Could this be a slightly bent rod. My turbo is "stock as a rock". Sport.
