  1. SOLVED: Engine knock without check engine light - 2017 V6

    Appreciate the ideas. I've only ever used regular octane gas, as Ford claims there's really no benefit for using premium in the V6, although I know there are many who disagree. I'll try a tank of premium and see if it helps. In the meantime, I just realized that it's still under the powertrain...
  2. SOLVED: Engine knock without check engine light - 2017 V6

    I have a 2017 V6 automatic with 45K miles that suddenly has a noticeable engine knock (never had the typewriter click common in GTs). It has all of the symptoms of a bad engine knock sensor, according to YouTube (knocking, sudden loss of power, bad gas mileage) EXCEPT the check engine light has...
  3. Roof problem again

    I’ve had a broken strap (pic), rear windows fixed twice, A-pillar leak fixed twice and leaking again. I also have multiple frayed straps and the headliner on the driver’s side often gets caught on the wrong side of the mechanism when closing. I have to open the top half way and readjust it...
  4. What sensors are used to monitor break-ins?

    The interior sensors are also by the map lights on the vert. I don’t know about sound sensing (I think the glass break sensor is an extra accessory), but they will trigger the alarm if you wave your hand in front of them. On my 2017, they’re deactivated when I park with the top down. However...
  5. Convertible Windscreen alternative, courtesy of Audi!

    I have a 2017 V6 and my wind screen is supposedly the same 2002-09 A4 model. I have the power driver's seat, but it doesn't have the easy exit. I updated my original reply with pics of the wind screen installed. It's not as close to the driver's seat as it looks in the pics. I can recline my...
  6. Convertible Windscreen alternative, courtesy of Audi!

    Mine was also very different from sdiver68. Here's a pic of sdiver68's measurements, marked by the X in pen, and where I ended up drilling my holes. Test fitting with his measurements, it was so tight I couldn't hold it in place. I'm not sure why the hole locations are so different. Just be sure...
  7. Love The Drive Wind Deflector Windier than necessary

    I just installed my A4 wind screen yesterday. Today I did the napkin test on my 30 mile commute to work. At 60 mph with the windows up, one corner was lifting slightly, but not enough to move the napkin. At 90 mph, there was no movement at all. I rolled the windows down around 60 mph. Within 10...
  8. Parade seating

  9. Beeps on startup

    Interesting... My 2017 V6 auto vert doesn't do this. Do you have the parking brake set, car in gear or neutral, etc.?
  10. Stock GT Exhaust on V6 Mustang

    Your exhaust is undoubtedly one of the best sounding exhausts on a V6 mustang and I'd love to hear it on a stock catted system. :hail: You're into heavy customization and will be paying attention to the maintenance required for your non-stainless system, if you haven't already changed it by...
  11. Stock GT Exhaust on V6 Mustang

    I agree 100%. If you search this forum for exhaust setups, you'll find a few cases where people have tried to replicate another member's exhaust, only to end up with vastly different results. You could end up with drone, vibrations, or a completely different sound (if they don't use mandrel...
  12. Protecting The Fabric With Waterproofing/UV Spray

    I was also confused about exactly what products you're using, as 303 makes several fabric protectants and the aerospace protectant is only for use on vinyl materials. After a bit of research, I found some very useful information. S550 OEM Convertible Top Fabric: The top fabric is Haartz...
  13. Looking for Stock S550 GT Catback Exhaust

    Any S550 GT owners in Houston looking to donate their stock catback exhaust to a good cause? That cause being one less bad sounding V6 driving around Houston. PM me if you'd like to free up some space in your garage. :cheers:
  14. Anyone add an aftermarket intake to their 3.7 with GT Throttle Body

    Has anyone tried using a stock GT intake with the GT throttle body on a V6? There's one for sale near me and it got me thinking... this setup with a drop-in K&N filter might be just as good as an aftermarket V6 CAI mated to the GT throttle body.
  15. Stock GT Exhaust on V6 Mustang

    Why did you decide to go with the stock GT over the DC Sport set up? I'm trying to decide between the two. In the sound clips, I think the resonated tips sound better than anything else, including Borla, and supposedly have no drone. On the other hand, I'm thinking they might be too loud for a...
  16. Drive Modes Enabled!

    Has anyone tried this in a V6 without the toggle switches? I'm wondering if it would enable the non-premium EB/GT Sport+ mode that is activated by double tapping the traction control button.
  17. 2015 V6 vert strut tower brace

    Several websites now show that the Ecoboost STB also fits the V6. They're all linked to Ford's OEM parts system, so maybe it's a typo from Ford. Only the first letter in each part number is different. I assume the only difference is the emblem in the center of the brace (Ford Racing, GT, GT350)...
  18. Top Operation Speed Modification

    This post is from another thread. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77423 It doesn't disable the 3 mph nanny for the convertible top, but could help someone who knows about ABD to figure it out.
  19. Inexpensive wind screen

    Here are the two I tried. Neither of them are true to the pictures on Wal-Mart's website. This is the one in the video. I ordered it, but I've also seen it on the shelf at Wal-Mart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/AUTODRIVE-REAR-SHADE/55322519 This one worked better for me. It's a little...
  20. Inexpensive wind screen

    I tried this out for $7. It's better than nothing, but doesn't block as much wind as I'd like on the interstate. For the price, everyone should try this before buying something else. [ame=""]
