turbo_nick some guy... Member 277 Member For: 22y 3m 2d Posted 03/12/02 11:07 AM Share Posted 03/12/02 11:07 AM Wheels were fanging one of the XR6Ts around Ford proving grounds when it overheated and shut off two cylinders I think. It had to do something with the computer programming, not hardware issues.According to Geoff Polites and Wheels, it's been rectified an all XR6Ts.

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 03/12/02 10:18 PM Share Posted 03/12/02 10:18 PM It's in the Car of the Year edition of Wheels. The car they were using was actually a pre-release model as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually understood that Ford had spent a lot of time and money on reducing, or at least balancing, up the heat through the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6 Turbos already in the hands of customers will have the fresh code flashed into the ECU at the 3000k service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
