The fords have their fair share if little annoying things. your nothing to deter you! The turbo is a mighty car and there are more good things than bad. Get one you won't regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would then do a big-ish water dump (for air con). Followed the advice on here and turned the heater to max with windows down and drove around for a bit. Air con then back to 22 deg - now fixed Edited 08/02/13 09:35 PM by Bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will reset itself once the tank is run down though. I only have a N/A XR6 but I'm guessing the Turbos could do it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lol-a-moose Inactive Members 1 Member For: 12y 8m 5d Posted 25/02/13 12:25 AM Share Posted 25/02/13 12:25 AM Sorry to be a pain but can anyone direct me to a thread about the zf 6 speed auto. More specifically what to do to sstrengthen it. I just joined and I cant find anything about it. I have a 09 fg turbo and I want to push for about 375rwkw. Amassing all the required bits, but before I do anything I want to beef up the drive train. Custom tailshaft, diff bushes, trans cooler, high pressure lines and valves an input shaft ans a tune for the box. But dont know sh*t about the zf. People keep telling me that if you try tune them they go to sh*t. Anyhelp is much appreciated!!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRK Member 361 Member For: 12y 11m Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 27/02/13 06:44 AM Share Posted 27/02/13 06:44 AM Fair bit on this on the forum in the driveline area. PLUS - Have a look through the build threads for the 400RWKW and up cars. Some of the members went a long way with these transmissions and a bit of research will help you. I know that monstatorque in wa have worked with the ZF and maybe a phone call there as a start. Naturally, there are other shops to talk with.However - before you run head on into this perhaps selecting your tuner/workshop is first. They will have preferences and some views on how to best get to 500 HP at the tyres. No matter where you live in the land of OZ, it seems to me we have great choices for workshops ( plus pretenders..... hell, nuthin is perfect). And - this forum has some great build threads to help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the plastic piece where the seat adjust knob and the electric seat button is located.I exited my car and it came loose. Can it be fixed under ford factory warranty??2011 fg luxry packhttp://s16.postimage.org/5recgwtt1/IMG_1724.jpg Edited 03/03/13 03:22 AM by pantha189 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
