I just don't understand when it was returned with the broken guide and sounding like it did why they didn't pull a plug and look with the endoscopeWhy would Ford want to look up your bum.But they could have used a borescope and looked down your cylinders.

rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 4m 8d Posted 05/08/13 02:04 AM Share Posted 05/08/13 02:04 AM Just thinking out loud.If the dealer did the initial repair and stuffed it (or may be didnt do some things it should have per the ford work authorisation) then they would have a very good reason for trying to fob you off and not even talking to the factory). It might fall back on them and not the factory - just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
