I was advised by my dealer that the Ford Australia support program for the evaporator runs for 5 years from the date of sale. Mine was purchased in Oct 2016 and I have been having some ongoing AC issues. They have added a dye to my gas and topped it up. They said that we have until Oct this...

Thanks GT550 and DFB5.0 for your thoughts. I drove it for about 45 mins today and it works fine (for now). I am tending to think that it is software related. When it stops cooling I have had a look at the compressor and it is not engaged - so no electrical signal. The fact that it resets with...

My aircon has started to malfunction intermittently. The problem first occurred in July this year - I was on a roadtrip through NQ. When I started up after a fuel stop, the aircon was not cooling (fans still operating). I drove for about 2 hours and shut the engine down (lunch break) and when...

MaxQ - Thanks for the heads up! I have just checked mine and paid attention to the inside shoulder. They are ok with fairly even wear across the tyre. Mine have about 33,000kms. How many km's were on yours? Cheers, Bernie

My problem with the ambient temp continues... it happened 3 times today after having been ok for some time). Back to the dealer before my warranty expires next month. Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, what was the fix?

Both of mine were worn out at 22,500km. I didn't have any accelerated wear on the left side, but your theory sounds reasonable.

The dealer reported that they had to "reset the system" as per Ford's recommendation. It has worked ok since (but it is only 2 days ago). On a positive note, it would always bring up 10 degrees C as the initial temp, then it would quickly jump to the actual temp (or sometimes stay stuck at...

My car has just reached 28 months (8 more months of warranty cover) and a couple of small (I hope) issues have emerged. 1. About 6 months ago, I noticed that very occasionally the ambient temp would indicate 10 degrees C for some time after start up. Recently the problem has started to occur...

A question for those who went with the "Gnome Spare" - have any of you had to actually use it yet? If so how was the experience? Mine is still in the boot, and I sincerely hope that I never have to use it.

Thanks Bob, I am not interested in buying more rims at this stage. Cheers, Bernie

I have 20,000k up and my rears are at about 85% worn and fronts at 50%. I am considering fitting the Bridgestone Potenzas. I will fit rears first and wait for the fronts to wear out. Has anyone got any updated reports on their performance? Has anyone run a mixed selection for fronts and rears...

David, Thanks for the information you have provided. I think that your kit has merit, and I am considering fitting one. I have a question in relation to your cooler layout and the oil sump volume being discussed above. Does the oil from your cooler drain back to the sump when the engine is...

Ray, Have you considered using a cargo net? I have one and it works fine. I bought mine from CJ Pony Parts - https://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-trunk-storage-cargo-net-2015-2018/p/TCN2/ I recall other forum members finding cheaper versions - maybe ebay?

Perhaps you could try Castrol Magnatec Stop - Start 5W/30 A5. It meets WSS-M2C913-D. Repco currently have 6litre packs on special at A$49.99.

There is a Castrol Edge Product that meets ACEA A5/B5. The problem that seems to muddy the waters is that while it meets a range of Ford Specs, Castrol Edge does not meet WSS-M2C913-D (the spec for the Coyote Engine). For example, Castrol Edge Data Sheet lists Ford Specs WSS- M2C..... (153-H...

I'd rather not name the dealer. I suggest that you just check spec and oil viscosity with whichever dealer you choose, before you book it in.

Just a "heads up" for anyone using a Ford Dealer for servicing. I had my first service (15,000km) earlier this week at a prominent Brisbane Ford dealer. When I saw the invoice which detailed the work done, I noticed that they had used Castrol Edge 5W20 oil. I immediately advised them that I...

James I think the difference is US Gallons versus Imperial (UK) Gallons. 16 US Gallons equals 61 litres. A US Gallon is about 3.8 litres and a UK Gallon is about 4.54 litres.

I fitted the Jaeger Brothers clip on splash guards that were organised by 2-stang (Kevin) in this forum. They have been great - I have done about 10,000kms including Queensland country roads with no chips. I leave them on the car and just remove them for cleaning. Link here...

I had no panel alignment issues. Mine goes in for its 3000km check up this week (delivered Oct '16)and I have no defects or problems to report.
