Guest pompey Guests Posted 18/09/03 05:00 AM Share Posted 18/09/03 05:00 AM I have noticed a significant drop in power just this week. :( I booked it in for next Tuesday.Thanks everyone for your insight in this matter, I will certainly be highlighting the solutions you guys have come up with to the service manager .

Guest pompey Guests Posted 24/09/03 12:09 AM Share Posted 24/09/03 12:09 AM Had it in for a look at the power output yesterday.The service manager said that as the system is all computerised, if there is a problem, the computer would log a fault and they would be able to read it.Apparently there was no fault registered and that my T was one of the best he had driven in terms of power output.I'm not entirely convinced It's close to the 15k service - if the problem still persists I'll put my foot down and get them to do more investigating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyboy Member 152 Member For: 21y 6m 27d Posted 24/09/03 03:48 AM Share Posted 24/09/03 03:48 AM I had Power Ford check my car over for lack of performance, they agreed that it was not running as quick as majority are, and decided to take a deeper look. When I took delivery they told me that they had found 2 blocked solanoids and now the car is running fine, After driving out the driveway and down the road a little to warm her up I found the car was not running any different, I took it back and the head tech told me to thrash the car and loosen the motor up and it should be fine. What do you guys think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
