Think this would be more fun, except that "cooltint" doesn't know how to do it, the square.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6366-15000km-service/page/11/#findComment-100752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 15/03/04 10:47 PM Share Posted 15/03/04 10:47 PM I had my 15,000km service done yesterday.Oil filter. XR series oil.Injector cleaner.Wiper solution.Wiper blades.Rotated wheels.Brake pulsation (shudder) fix.ECU reflash with the latest "HJ" calibrations. And the calibrations are definately the latest because FORDTECH did the service for me.Trip computer was informed it was in a ute, it previously had no identity. This should tell the DTE that I have a 85l tank instead of a 68l sedan tank.Total $180.00, not bad I thought!

As I have to book mine inIt's actually $198 but they said I would get it for $180. I think because I paid cash, no GST or something, don't really know. Sorry I can't tell you which dealer, because FORDTECH works there. As most members are probably aware and I'm sure will agree FORDTECH has helped out alot here with answering questions and info on various problems and fixes etc etc, and some people within Ford might not like him posting the info that he does. So after I showed him this site and he became a member I was asked not to disclose who he was or where he works and I will keep my promise. I'm sure everyone will understand.

They say they did nothing to the steering but the minute I drove off after the service the steering shudder was quite noticably worse then before I took the car in for the service...Should this have been fixed? (silly question), Is there a solution to this problem as yet that anyone knows about?Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6366-15000km-service/page/11/#findComment-114468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get charged at 2:30 2day $335 for the service...They say the'll be putting in 10w30 GXR Mobile oil - I was reading Ken's 15k service thread...http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...hl=service&st=0and I see every1 was kicking up a stink about it should be 15w40 oil....the service guy is going to find out more about the oil for me and call me back. I do also recall that there was a change in the oil that ford reccomend....I'm just really nervous atm and wanna make sure she'll come outa there with everything in the right place and the right fluids in her.....I dont wanna transfuse the wrong oil or anything like that......great....now im not even making sense. everything else in the service is ok...I'm just not ok with this whole oil thing so I'll prolly end up doing that myself.*30 minutes later*ok...called them and they insist on using that type of oil...despite what ive been reading here....I choose to put my faith in the forums instead...I said dun wurry about changing the oil...just bill me for the filter...ill do it myself. I'm just not happy with it so I'll do it myself May even get the price below sub $300 mark its all good...as long as my preeeeccious is ok I'm happy.
