landy39 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi all quick question....do any of you know how much ford would charge to rest the Eloys counter plz.. A family friend booked his 06 focus Tdci in local garage to have Eloys fluid refilled after the light came on....cut a long story short,they filled the system no problem,when they tried to set the counter,they couldn't because the Eloys tank was empty and have told him to take it to Ford,as it will need to be reset by them....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=96622 Be aware that until the tank is filled correctly and the level counter is reset his eolys system is not functioning.

landy39 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks for the reply Stoney871 ...... the Eloys tank is defo filled to max ...... and i have told him not to drive the car till the counter has been reset... he was just looking as to how much it will cost to rest,as he Disabled and money is tight...the garage charged him £150 to supply and fill the tank,and as proof of filling they give him the receipt and bottles plus the spare fluid.... they thought their software was able to rest it,but it doesn't..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said though none of my business :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPF, new Turbo, oil feed kit and oil sump refurb. Anyways each to there own devices top respect from local mechanics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bhp is 139 and the torque is fab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You want to tie a rope to his dpf system and let it get ripped off as he drives away. Trust me, you'll be doing him a big favour ;) (Joking of course) Sent from my S5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 no need for formalities just bry will do hahait drives like a petrol after it mate, If you can, get a 2.5" exhaust done from flexi flange back to the tip, I say flexi flange because its already 2.5" from engine to flexi. Just need a straight 2.5" pipe with two manderal bends put in it, A diesel performance back box and choice of tip, Could even fut a 90 degree elbow tip to keep it looking completly stock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldsy101 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’ve just had my dpf additive topped up. So what was the outcome of resetting the engine malfunction light on the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
