SDWAYZ Member 103 Member For: 18y 8m 18d Posted 08/12/06 11:54 PM Share Posted 08/12/06 11:54 PM Sorry to revive a dead post but here goes. My friend is a finance manager at a large ford dealership. I worked there too until recently. He owns a Mk2 ba sedan. Was edited then threw a rod out of the side of the block at 12000kms or so. It was put back to standard by one of the boys after hours but they still picked it up when the ford tech came out to inspect the car in the workshop. Result-no warranty on engine, now or in the future due to edit. Other items not related to edit are still covered. Himself and another finance manager both went to Nizpro and got some nice work done since ford would not come to the party, and needless to say they are extremely happy. Even if you write over $10,000,000 of buisness for Ford a year, rules are rules and we have to play by them. I guess things are built to a budget and the xr6T is a real budget rocket standard and quite durable. Mine is edit and 106k runs good. One auto but other than that ok.I sell trucks for a living now. If its rated at 16 ton dont carry 32 ton and expect warranty.I sold fords and if its drivetrain is tested and rated at 6psi or whatever it is, dont wind it up to 10 or 12 and expect the smiling man behind your service counter to give you a free auto/diff or what ever has a melt down no questions asked.I don't want to be negative but I can sort of see where they are coming from. You can bend the rules a little...........or a couple of psi pehaps. But just wait 100,000km you can build a pretty quick motor in the back shed over 3 years I'm sure!!! Then unleash hell.

You have even sited an incedent when a vehicle was detected as being edited, and not just hypothised. Can you elaborate and tell us what was the reason it was detected, and how it was detcted. Or is a hole in the engine block the only clue.Oh yeah never seen you round these parts before so welcome.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man's a workshop foreman at a ford dealer and he was told at a training school about a month ago that the warranty people (can't think of their proper name) that approve major warranty claims have a tool that can detect any alterations to PCM, weather it be edit unichip powerchip etc on all BA & BF's Edited 09/12/06 12:50 AM by JBomb3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
