In Topic: Servicing Opinions Please

21 May 2013 - 09:26 AM

If you bought car from Ford and its over 3 years old are you not able to get there value service package?

http://www.smc-cars....-year-servicing

Or

http://www.ford.co.u...ordValueService

Minor service is £99 and major is £165

I also have 09 (but a cmax) they said it had a major service last so I just went for a minor service, mines done 25k, next one ill do major probs

I am interested in the Ford major service for £165 but I can't see that option, just the £99 one!

Microcat Ford Europe (1.68 GB) http://rutracker.org...c.php?t=4129627  This works well.

 

The link works, but everything seems to be in Russian. Info on what to do next would be great please.


In Topic: Rear Wheel Hub Torx Bolts

11 May 2013 - 05:54 PM

Note that there may be used 2 different types of Torx bolts for the rear wheelhub. Which type is used on your car depends on the manufacturing date of the car.

 

The 2 available types are:

 

1. Bolt with internal Torx head (old type).

2. Bolt with external Torx head (new type).

 

If you have the bolts with internal Torx head (due to corrosion) it can be very difficult to remove them.  For this reason Ford prescribes to change the old type bolts for the new type Bolts with external Torx head.

I have just crawled under my car to check, and unfortunately, I have the internal Torx head (old type) so that will probably be a fun job to remove, but I obviously cannot tell what size Torx bit I will need just from a visual check.

Hi Phil,
I bought mine from ebay and it worked for almost two years,
I had my own log in on ford data base and could print ford receipts and invoices lol
I didn't know it could be download from the internet for free but if it can then that would be the way to go.
It makes it much easier to get parts from ford,
You can purchase parts by just requesting the part number, no messing with VIN numbers etc.
The copy I had was in russian too when installed but you can change it to english easily.
Once changed it stays in english.

Thanks for the very informative reply, I will have to look around and see where the best place is to get the software.

 

Cheers.

 

Phil.

Hi Lenny,

 

I am interested in getting one of these, but you say yours has expired, does that mean if I buy one from fleabay, I will have a limited time that I can use it?
