dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/04/11 04:11 AM Share Posted 18/04/11 04:11 AM Don't bother flashing it back. If your trying to claim warranty work at least be honest. They built the car for 310kw if you push out that at the wheels something might break. Why should they fix it? If your going in because your air con is sh*t it won't matter how modded it is as it doesn't affect air con.

Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 2m 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/04/11 11:55 AM Share Posted 18/04/11 11:55 AM Each time the PCM is flashed it creates a log 1,2,3,4...etc. and if these flashes don’t match up with a ford genuine flashes and it’s certain proof an aftermarket flash tune. Also as soon as there is any engine issue with the 4.0ltr T motor it’s almost an unwritten rule that ford Melbourne request the PCM to be taken out and sent down to them for further diagnostic. Ford Melbourne (engineers) has 10 times more visibility within the PCM then your local Ford dealer has. Same goes for the ZF box if there’s a drama with it a ZF tech can tap into the ZF’s magnatronic (the ZF’s computer) and download and read applied torque I.e. did it at any time see 900 nm of torque come through it! One thing to be very close with your Ford dealer locally but once you break something expensive and your have modifodied it and Melbourne get's involved then it's curtains I'm affraid.
