igsta Member 371 Member For: 21y 8m 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/08/06 09:02 AM Share Posted 13/08/06 09:02 AM A week after I had a service done by Ford I found two bolts missing as I was done on power. I took it back told them and they fixed everything up for free. I bet you there are heaps of cars running around with loose or no bolts at all without even knowing and are being robbed of power. Ford need to rectify this as its a bad common problem.

It shouldn't be an extra hunge, but I would expect about $40 for labour.←It lists the time as a total of 54mins to carry out the additional service of tightening the inlet and exhaust manifold bolts. Page 43 of the service book. I thinf Ford dealers are around the $65-70 per hour mark.According to Ford this must be done with every scheduled service.

I went in there telling them it was something to do with the muffler rattling each time I hit bumps and after all day on it, including flooding the back seat (long story) they found it and fixed it.Now its all good.
