yeah in qld where its 90% humidity and 25 degrees and absolutely pissing down, so hard I had wipers on full and down to 80kph on the highway ! air was blowing hot so, please, do tell ! :sick:

EDIT,just noticed your location... cold south island air won't fog up a car like hot humid QLD mate ! I had no problem in scotland keeping a foggy window at bay but here it can be a nightmare in the pissing rain !

ok, more news !

went to service centre and no fault codes so no replacement HIM module...we need to leave it with them for 2/3 days (get fuct ! ) so contacted CRC .. no recall exists for these cars ! yeah right....

contacted supplying dealer, yes recall exists, cars booked in for 3000klm service and new HIM module on 6th nov.

It amazes me the length the CRC folk will go to to deny any problems... no recall and never has been aparently ! :surrenderwave:

so, we'll see how we go from here as my 10 yr old pajero is like an igloo and this 3wk old xr6t is tepid at best...not happy with ford customer(lack of)care service... :spoton:

Don't think it's a recall as such, there would just be a dealer bulletin released saying "if this happens, replace the fcker". I doubt Ford CRC ever divulge that info otherwise it'd cost them a sh*tload more in warranty claims if people go looking for problems.

But still that's irrelevant, not real helpful in getting it fixed. What dealer fobbed you off? Up the sunshine coast?

I had the problem with my ute. Fraud just said 'It needs regassing' & topped it up. Within a few weeks it had turned sh*t again. It was at XFT getting some work done & Simon found the aircond unit spraying fluid out the front. (you had to remove the front bar to see it)

Straight back to Ford & was told it's a 'known problem' & it was fixed under warranty. WTF? Why didn't they know about it the first time?

Has worked fine ever since though.

Pacific(isnt terrific) ford in currimundi ! :pirate2:

tested car on computer, checked gas (apparently)and was said to be fine. no fault codes so frankly fault doesn't exist until a fault code shows up and can't do a swap over test as it ran within spec (4 degrees through vents ? my arse !)! :mexicanwave:

spoke to Glen at Q ford, he was very sympathetic and also had the same issue and told me straight up it was a known issue ! he said, "book it in for the 3k service and we'll swap it over then ! "... now , how hard was it for the Spastific Ford to do a swap over test ???
