Warranty Issues

[xr6t ute]

I recently took my ute to ford for a couple of minor warranty issues like the steering shudder and a minor coolant leak. I have the edit, so I flashed the standard program in before taking it back. After looking at the bit of paper that they give you which shows what work they performed it says at the bottom of the page, check for recalls.......carry out PRGC309A. Does this mean that they have flashed an updated program into the ecu?

Yes it does. I thnk that's the overboost reflash.

So I guess that means I have to get the capa flasher reset, then go back to my tuner and get the tunes flashed back into the box?

if u flashed your ecu back to stock, all you have to do is reflash it with your custom or generic map and it should be fine, its only when they reflash over your custom or generic maps is when you have a problem.

I was under the impression that if I now flash my custom tune back in then I want to take it back to ford again and flash the factory tune back in, it will install the factory tune that the ute first came with (the one that is already installed in my capa box)....not the updated tune that ford will have on their records. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

yes that's true but what difference should it make seeing as you will be running a different map in any case. If you have flased the ecu back to stock the box should not be vin locked anymore and you should be able to reflash the new stock map in it if im not mistaken, but im not sure what this will do to your other 3 maps stored into the box

The difference would be if he was to go back for warrenty he would have an older

version in this ECU not the currently listed one .

I would have thought that was simple to figure out.
