Pain to keep clean though!

grandpa spec Member 20 Member For: 13y 4m 16d Posted 26/03/12 11:21 AM Share Posted 26/03/12 11:21 AM Once the warranty runs out I will.Bought a k&n filter however Ford advised if I put it in then engine warranty would go bye bye as I'm not a mechanic. Furthermore, if it fouled the TPS then same deal, no warranty.I'm as scared of loosing warranty as the Mrs giving me hell, see I wasn't going to mod this one... hahahahLong term I'd like to upgrade intercooler piping, intake, hi flow cat and a tune.... oh and a better sound system, premium sound isn't worth its salt. Hopefully the end result would be a safe 300rwkw 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78865-age-of-fg-f6-owners/page/2/#findComment-1214954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I am pretty sure that K&N provide a number for this reason... Just lie to the dealer and say you had a mechanic undo the screws and place the filter in the box. Very high tech stuff.

grandpa spec Member 20 Member For: 13y 4m 16d Posted 28/03/12 02:12 AM Share Posted 28/03/12 02:12 AM It went in for a new diff pinion seal today so will ask again when I pick it up.I'm probably just being paranoid but the last thing I want to do is void warranty, especially when it comes to motors, turbos and drive train components. First time owning a new car so a bit overly cautious.

It's not a case of everything being voided if you change the air filter, but the throttle is a good example of what can be voided if you over-oil your filter and it fails as a result.They try and scare/bluff their customers in to being good little minions and to just keep handing over the $s.

grandpa spec Member 20 Member For: 13y 4m 16d Posted 28/03/12 02:43 AM Share Posted 28/03/12 02:43 AM Uneducated guess here, but wouldn't you damage the engine if the TPS failed due to say running too lean?

grandpa spec Member 20 Member For: 13y 4m 16d Posted 28/03/12 03:23 AM Share Posted 28/03/12 03:23 AM I ran a k&n in the v8 I used to have and it never fouled the maf, anyhow, apologies all, I managed to steer the thread well off topic.
