NCHRGE Member 10 Member For: 18y 8m 30d Location: Sydney Posted 28/07/06 07:41 AM Share Posted 28/07/06 07:41 AM A friend of mine today got his car serviced and has had an ongoing problem with his oil consumption, the service department put a logger onto the ford ecu and a code came up that is no verified by ford. and once his car came out of service, had a BIG FAT STICKER ON WINDSCREEN saying warranty has been voided.
