Did the car get real hot.. Did you do a radiator hose or something?? Often when cars are running lean the engine temp gets higher. Did you do injectors with your tune??

I supplied them all.they done a regular service, tightened turbo bolts, chaged ALL fluids, fitted aftermarket globes anda few small things.came to $320.so indeed u got ripped.

Ultratune is another one that I can service with and still keep the car warranty and they are asking for $260 also they supply oil. Now I don’t know which way to go? I’m thinking ultratune but Ill have to specifically tell them what to look for otherwise they miss half of the things like tightening up the bolts etc...On the other hand I think ford is obviously more experienced with these cars so probably they would do a better job.what do you guys think?

Can't you take it to a garage that knows the xr6t? Like one of our sponsors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORD is more experinced with ripping people off..... tell me what apprentice gives a F#ck at ford... find yourself a decent mechanic anyone with a MTA cert(not just ultratune) can carry out your servicing... ONLY go to FORD for your warranty repairs. Your decent mechanic should notify you of any warranty work that needs to be carried outPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been told that only untratune is allowed? Edited 12/02/07 05:37 AM by sinnkexr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
