That auto tuning is crap and the engineers who worked on it and QA and management who signed off on it should be be ashamed of themselves. I shouldn’t have to pay for a tune to fix it and void my warranty in the process.
My last few cars were a few BMWs: E92 M3 Competition, F80 M3, X3M. The Mach1 has a softer suspension compared to all these. Reading your comment and others on this thread that's most likely what I'm experiencing. The Mach1 is softer to drive in town but has the effect of giving that floaty...
Thanks all for the replies.
I'm not lifting off yet thankfully :) I'm usually driving with normal suspension settings, sport suspension is just not fun with crappy roads. I would not expect that much difference from sport mode on the highway, but I'll spend time in sport next time and report...
Hey all, I find that in general my Mach 1 has a "floaty" feeling especially at highway speed. I have a non-HP with about 6.5k miles, everything stock. Is that the nature of the car, would an alignment help? Does this car require wider wheels and tires to feel stable?
interesting you are saying that, Mach1's that are becoming in stock at my local dealers now or on order are non-premium with the cloth seats.
And they want 10k markup for them.
I like my non-HP. I think it looks more retro with the Bullitt like wheels, the stock tires are more livable, and I don't think I could handle a lower and longer front spoiler. I'm probably never going to track it, and to drive around town I don't need the extra downforce.
Anyway it's easy to...
Don't you have a higher octane there? That should help too. I think that the US stock is tuned for 91 which is the most common higher octane available.
I'm really nervous about tuning mine. Got a programmer ready but it can't even read the stock tune from the car. I hate how these more recent...
Thanks guys, glad to know it's in the expected tolerances for a stock Mach1. I'm about to get it tuned and it would be a good time to address any issues under warranty before I pull the trigger.
Lund should be able to fine tune the AF ratio.
I'm making an order from chemical guys to take...
Hey all, I think my Mach1 is running too rich. It's currently stock, bought used a few hundred miles ago. I have noticed some black soot over time mostly on the two center pipes (I drive with exhaust in sport mode all the time and in normal mode (A10)).
I checked the AF ratio through the...
That's good to know, 6000 miles here, but only the last 500 miles were mine.
It seems a couple of you mention things getting better over time, but after a long time. Would the transmission learning take that long? Or would some of the transmissions take that long to break-in?
With the...
I really wanted to like it, but I dislike the A10 software calibration so much that I’m considering voiding my warranty to fix it with a 3rd party tune.
It's smooth in D but that mode up shifts too aggressively. It’s too harsh in s and s+, shifts are faster but kick you you in the back, not...
10hp from just the filter sounds high, but I can see how they would get the bump by getting rid of European specific de-tuning. It will be very interesting to see the improvements.
I'm not expecting big gains since I'll be keeping everything else stock for now and need to stay with 91 octane. So not planning before and after dyno. I'm hoping mostly for better A10 calibration and getting a more balanced AF ratio. Hopefully a small bump in performance too, we'll see what I...
I went ahead and ordered the Lund tune, let's see how it goes. With the amount of soot on my exhaust pipes it seems to be running rich as well which is not uncommon for cars from the factory. Hopefully the tune will address this as well.
I'll report back.
Probably by now a lot of owners have experience getting their Mach1 tuned.
I'm considering a Lund tune on my stock 2021 mostly for the smoother auto shifting. I'll be running 91 so not expecting big power gains.
Anyone has experience specifically with Lund on their Mach1?
Since automatic mode is smooth I'm guessing that it's not a hardware issue. Others are experiencing the same behavior according to this thread, so it might be the nature of the beast.
This. Every video, every article. Everyone repeating the same mantra. They think they would probably look like a lesser car journalist or enthusiast if they didn't say this in their reviews.
I used to be religious about manuals, but for my latest mustang purchase I was looking for an auto, and...
