Hey Guys,

BACKGROUND:

Girl own's a 2006 Ford Focus and had her battery replaced and now has no stereo due to needing a security code (like someone would steal it :P) - we have rung Ford and they have given us the incorrect number and said it must have been logged incorrect by the sales agent.

She is the second owner and does not have the log book.

Ford want to charge us to remove the head unit to get the serial number so they MIGHT be able to get the code.

RANT:

I dont think we should have to pay for them maybe getting us the code for something they did wrong when selling the car.

QUESTION:

how can i find out the origonal dealer that sold the car (Ford will not/ can not give me this info - due to privacy) so that i can go back to them to get the code free of charge?

If someone works at DPI would they have the info and how could i get it?

Any advice would be appreciated - except to replace it with after market :P

peter..the one i steamcleaned?? tell her to sell it n get a soarer farken! haha

syfon works and dept of transport ... but he actually does WORK - like all us gubberment emproyees.

just ring and ask. and if a young kid named jason picks up.

tell him rowans gonna cut off his hands - he'll know what i'm talking about ;)

but seriously. that ifo should be in the glovebox. in the vinyl folder. on the yellow piece of paper that says where the car was bought from

while we're on the subject - fvcking new cars. seriously.

once did a detail on a hyundai tuscon farken. dumb owner left keys in the glove box. thinking she was doing me a favour. i went to go get some thing, wind blew doors shut, hyundai has a feature which "self locks" if the key fob is in the car with the doors open...

keys got locked in the car - because of a "safety feature"

...new cars farken.

another story. was doing a lexus IS250 the other week. finished up. owner calls me up an hour later accusing me of ruining her car saying i have to pay for it thru lexus cos her car isn't starting etc etc

i go back to her house - luckily not far from mine... (this time i took the soarer so i dont look like a van driving idiot) she's treating me like an idiot for wrecking her new lexus. that she's owned for a few weeks. i said i bet it's you... i tell her to give me the keys.

started it straight away. i look up at her and say "were you putting your foot on the brake as you starrted it?"

she goes. no?

i said - lexus make you keep your foot on the brake cos of the push button start.

Yes i do work for the dept of transport but its the same with us. due to privacy regulations i cant give out that info, but maybe the deal can be sweetened? haha just joking

I have access to it, but if i get caught giving out that info, it's an instant dismissal.

Rowan - you won't cut your hands off brah.

On the other hand, oh shiiii

The girl does not want a new one as it wont look good due to fit...

Plus it is the principle that i should not have to pay for something cause Ford did not enter the details correctly into their system...

I never take shit and will never pay for someone elses mistakes... i will find the origonal dealer and make them remove and find the code for free :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
