F6 Rspec - Breakdown!

[F6Rdodg'nroos]

Thanks - yes good point, and this something I have already done.

The pumps are not just in F6, they are in XR6T's as well, so its not just an issue for FPV, and I have voiced my concern directly to Ford Motor Co. through Ford CRC. I asked if it would be a recall on all BFmKIIs and they said no, as it is only a small percentage of cars affected.

They have stated it is not all pumps, it was a batch issue, not even affecting all pumps in that batch, but are replacing them when a problem occurs.

So I guess at this stage it is a "if it aint broke don't fix it" type of thing. Bit concerning but I haven't driven my Rspec under 35 degrees C yet. So fricken hot up here. Mine will probably bloody freeze up or something in the winter LOL

Hi all,

I just had a call from my dealer after yesterday's failure in the heat in Melbourne.

They tested the F6 in the workshop and emulated another hot day after leaving it running for an hour idling in the workshop.

Thank god it failed for Ford and they found that the fuel pressure dropped and cut out just like all the other reports, meaning a faulty fuel pump.

Getting changed in the morning as they need to courier a new one in.

Thanks Paul for the good advice. My dealer rang your dealer and they undertook the same test and found the same problem.

They tell me that the pump is off to Ford HQ to analysis.

Cheers

Glad I could help, great news they got it fixed and identified the faulty pump.

Since I've had the new pump in, its only dropped power once, but they reckon it was just an airlock, it's had 10+hrs of testing since and no more pressure drops, so all is good, and on the road its perfect.

Mate enjoy your new car like it should be

Hmmmm, maybe they might put out a recall for the fault?

See Post #31

They are fixing faulty ones.

I have reported it and suggested a recall. Now its up to Ford.

Maybe the more people call Ford CRC with fault complaints, the more likely they are to be forced to recall.

I wouldn't be real impressed with the "idle for an hour" thing

Got the car back today and is running fine, just like when I picked it up new.

FPV called me also today to see if everything was getting fixed. I told them that they found the faulty fuel pump and FPV advised that it is a Ford issue, however were going to look into the problem with Ford.

Like F6Rdodgnroos they ran my car all day yesterday and left the tank empty. The good thing is the Trouble and Strife returned the courtsey car (Fairmont Ghia) empty as well. Got one back.

Cheers
