Steve O Member 106 Member For: 14y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydneys Northern Beaches Posted 25/06/12 01:57 AM Share Posted 25/06/12 01:57 AM I've got a ba xr6t which has started to have some issues. Got it on a dynoand they think the tune is playing up. When I bought it I was told it was stock and it is only recently that its started playing up (struggling and thebrake and abs lights flicker sllightly). Seeing that its likely to be a generic tune I want to flash it back to stock. Called City Ford in Zetland and Titan Ford in Brookvale and they wanted $135 and $160 respectively for a reflash. I would retune it using an xcal but I'm looking at getting into an fg soon so not really worth the extra money Does this seem a bit steep or is it resonable as I thought it would be less for such a short job?

Now its also struggling under load but its got newcoils and plugs in it and the abs and brake warning light will flicker. Yeah I just thought I'd heard somewhere had done it cheaper and I'm a bit worried that a few dealers are saying its not possible or the maps dont exist anymore for a 2004 model or it may need other stuff done as well. A bit confusing and I've heard some horror stories about ford servicing on here so am a bit nervous haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80713-how-much-to-reflash-back-to-stock-in-sydney/#findComment-1258956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I thought selling stock would be a bit easier 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80713-how-much-to-reflash-back-to-stock-in-sydney/#findComment-1258961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only cost $132 which was the cheapest I could find (cost of 1 hours labour). Upon picking it up I was told that it was already running the standard tune and was completely up to date except for a faulty battery which may be causing the problems. Grabbed a new battery and the problems still there. Really unsure what to do as I've had the car on a dyno a while ago and found it was running 8 psi for 230rwkw so is not on a standard tune. I'm thinking that they may have only scanned it and not reflashed it like I asked in which case should I be taking it back to them?Not happy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80713-how-much-to-reflash-back-to-stock-in-sydney/#findComment-1262912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
