2ter Donating Members 5 Member For: 13y 17d Posted 09/01/12 09:12 AM Share Posted 09/01/12 09:12 AM Giday, found the this forum via GoogleHave FG XR6T Ute.Just had the 3k Ford "piece of mind" service - I asked them what the engine 'stutter' on start up was (this has developed on start up and ceases a few seconds later) - Ford delaer said it was a common fault with no fix as yet - they checked the vehicle has the latest software installed and it does.It begs the question - if the FG has been out for about two years then how come Ford haven't come up with a fix?Any pointers would be much appreciated. Also what basic mods are recommended that don't void a warranty. Or do all mods void warranty?Great forum, resources and informationthankscheersMick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it is practically all stock. Just got a pod filter and I have vented the stock BOV since reading the forums :] Got the windows tinted last week too. Not much plans for the future as far as performance mods go. Maybe an exhaust for a bit of noise, and I do like the look of a big shiny intercooler. Heres a pic I took down at the RAAF museum point cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, anything else and you run the risk of voiding your Warranty. Best thing to do is talk to your Dealer and see how forgiving they are with mods. Some will have a little leeway while others will have nothing to do with it (and they aren't obliged to of course).As for engine stutter, there's a thread somewhere about others with this issue at the moment...I'll have a look for it.I got the car with leather, ZF auto, reverse cam, bluetooth and Ipod for 33k (best xmas pressie so far... until I get the drag car anyway )Was that for a Demo or Second-Hand? How many km's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
