Do asearch on 15000 there are many threads

[Paradoxx]

dont pay more than 200

I got a 45000km service for 95 bucks, supplied 7L of oil and an oil filter... saves a bit at the end! Go get 5L and 2 1L of magnatec and give it to them. They tend to charge lots for oil.

getting my 15000 km service on my 2003 xr6t next monday and was wondering if it is part of the service that they flash the cars computer or is it not neccesary? everything is running fine at the moment cheers

I dont think they would bother unless you compained about something like stalling.they dont have the time.15000k will just be an oil change and a quick check over.

Hey guys,

After our little cruise last night im really getting tired of the BA and the issues im having with it, its depressing when youve spent 40 k on a car to have continuous niggles with it.

Its an AUGUST 04 so you would think ford would have sorted their sh*t out by then.. heres my list for its 15 k service this week.

1. 15,000 km’s service with oil provided.

2. Premium Sound Radio Quality issue, static and radio drop out, antenna related issue that’s been looked at before, lose radio between Brisbane and Gold coast.

3. Handbrake rubbing, making shush shush noise and burning smell.

4. Alarm boot sensor faulty, alarm goes off when car is unlocked.

5. Drivers side slim weather shield coming off, been replaced before.

6. Vibration in steering at 100 – 110 km’s an hour, balance issue?

7. Fuel usage is high, car sits on about 13 - 14, even on the highway.

8. Fuel Gauge is incorrect, when its at half way the car has only used 20 litres, needs recalibration or sensor replacement.

9. Car idles rough and shakes when cold, runs fine when its at running temperature, usually only in the morning. Had the TPS sensor replaced a week or so ago, thought this fixed the problem but it didnt.

The biggest thing im dissapointed with is the premium sound issue, I paid an extra $1000 like alot of you to have this and to get static and interference through it all the time and even have stations drop out its a disgrace, if the dealer cant satisfy me and get this piece of sh*t sorted then ill be focking it off as soon as I can afford to on probarly a new VE. Im sick to death of Ford, I had issues with my AU which forced me to retire it before its use by and it looks like this things gonna be the same.

Not sure what to say really, If its annoying you that much sell it like you say.... I wouldnt like if much either but weather you get any less problems with a model that hasnt been released yet I am not to sure.

I have had 2 BAs now, a Turbo and now a new GT and have had a few minor problems but I wouldnt by a Expensive Daewoo as some of my friends have them and they have got problems to.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, perhaps take it to another dealer to get the problems sorted, the dealer gets paid by Ford afterall.
