Time For the Recap

[Notes]

What kind of average? It could be really tricky to measure it properly. I always test it on a highway with cruise control on, exactly the same speed and route. But I can just support your statement, OMV MaxxMotion 100 has 0.5 - 0.8 higher consumption than Shell V Power Nitro+ in my case.

I'm using the cruise control a lot on the highway as well. Though it's the second time I notice a higher consumption with the 98 super+ fuel from Texaco.

Pretty much what you say, yeah. I am not doing it in lab conditions obviously. But in general, when I'm driving on the Czech highways with Czech fuel doing 160 at the most and then on the German ones with German fuel doing 190-200 and saving about 2 liters per 100km... well, that makes you think what a shit are they selling here as a premium fuel.

Whatever people say, there is a huge difference between fuel quality across the different brands. I use only Aral Super Plus or Shell Ultimate and as the kms are piling on, my fuel consumption is actually going down, despite not driving like an old lady!

I'm driving my pony for about 7 months now and the last few weeks I notice that my pony projection lights looks more like dragon than a horse... anyone having the same issue? could it be weather related or what could this be?

Maybe there's some dirt on the projector?

Do you ever wash your car?

I cleaned & double checked them yesterday and it remained the same... just weird...

Nice Dragon

Same problem on both sides.....?
Dont get it as there is no link between them....or is there intelligence hidden somewhere?

The right side (pic 2) looks a bit better, the first one has definitely a dragon tail... will take some better pic's tonight.

Humidity in projector ?

Could be, although the projector should be sealed I guess... I look at it from the bottom I can't see anything wrong though.

Pic from last, sorry 4 the gravel..

What about if you make them shine on a piece of paper? That way you don't have the distortion of the gravel and you'll have a clearer picture of the actual projection.

I did, used the back of my samsung tablet to project on but the image stayed warped...

Update; It looks like it is a known issue according to this thread on another mustang forum... issues since 2012 until 2015 already!

Another issue is that in my experience replacement parts takes about 6 months to arive at the dealer... my dealer damaged replacement side-skirt arrived last month and was ordered in august.
puzzling me what will happen when someone ruins a bumper or something similar...

 

[Notes]

Both puddle lamps have been requested to Ford under waranty, hopefully it won't take to long to arrive.

Another thing I noticed, is dust particles under the paint or clear-coat and some have like a small rusty circle around them... Tried to take a picture but it would at least take a 4k resolution to actually see it well when zoomed in.
Anyway during the first wash this summer I noticed one of these particles, but this weekend under good lighting conditions I spotted a whole bunch more... and I'm not sure what to do about it.
But as I mentioned it somewhere before ... I'm not so happy with the factory paint-job...

Summer? Where?!! I'd talk with the dealer about those spots... Ford has warranties against rust if that is truly what it is...

Passed summer, when my car arrived and did my first washy. I'm aware of the rust warranty, but don't think they will cover particles beneath the paint. Ill see if my phone is capable of capturing it...
