Bottom End Gave Up At 248rwkw

[RAP1D]

I was told ford can plug in a black box and if EDIT pops up on your ICC screen... your busted!

SO do we all belive what we're told??????????????????????

You play, you pay...

I am a Ford Tech going about my bussiness.

In strolls a bloke with cap on backwards, saying Fully Sic, the cruise at Maccas on Friday was great, hey dude check out my twenties.

Ford Tech looks across, and sees a ute with Gronk number plates. Up for a bit of a stir. He engages formentioned loud mouth in conversation.

Loud mouth then sprouts off on Forum how edit is so detectable.

PS lucky I am powerchipped eh Fat.

It's not only edit that is now detectable it's any current or previous alterations to the ECU. Ie, unichip or powerchip as well

But it doesn't seem to work both ways, We pay Ford for the cars and even stock they try to squirm out of warranty commitments. Also, why can a Toyota Celica 5-speed box, origionally designed to work in a car with less than 100kW, cope with mamoth amounts of power and a BA box not even handle the standard power.

I beleive you play, you pay to be fair in extreme cases, but if Ford enginered the sort of tolerances Japanese and Euro manufacturers did, there'd be no problems.

By the way, I'm pretty sceptical of Ford's ability to detect the edits.

And if you press the accelerator pedal quickly or apply to much brake pressure or break traction the ECU records a demerit point, After five demerit points are accumulated the ECU goes in to limp home mode with the SAT NAV directing you to the nearest ford dealer.

the dealer told me so it must be true, I disconnect my battery every night to clear the demerit points and then rap my car in aluminum foil to prevent the satellites from detecting the disconnected battery.

I couldn't care less if you believe it or not but it's now a fact. The worst thing about it is the tool used to do it is not available to dealers but is used by the inspectors that approve warranty claims. I can see it becoming part of the course now that all claims where a engine or gearbox has launched itself require the car being checked for PCM alterations

This is what I have been told to funny thing is that all engine claims since 2003 have had to be checked from somebody at head office.

That is they send somebody to the dealer to check the car over.

A mate of mine had his motor claim knock back because the exhaust bolts had been undone.

He had a after market exhaust on and when the motor blow he refitted the standard exhaust and they could see that the exhaust had been played with.

its now a fact??

have you connected it to your own car and tested it?? nothings fatc till your shown its fact. And even then they can bullshiat about it. A code has to be logged, if it cant belogged it cant be recorded.

like I said... lucky im stock as is someone else that had recent issues (he must be real lucky)

The alfoil is a bit of an overkill isn't it? Satellites won't work through the garage roof

Better to be safe than sorry though I guess
