I have had my EVT+  just 9 months so it went in for the first service today. Mileage is 10,450kms.

 

I decided to buy SSP today, now I wish I’d have bought it a few months ago, same time as I bought  PPP,   as it was on offer at a cheaper price then.

SSP covers all routine servicing costs up to and including 63months (105,000kms). I added up the present cost of Routine Services up to that period and it came to a little over 33,000thb. I guess that servicing costs will increase over the next five years so anyway.

 

I got to the garage about 10am and was away about 11:45am.  I dodged their car washing offer.

 

I asked my friendly English speaking Tech to check the ‘suspect’ seal which is somewhere between the engine and gearbox … this one … http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11452234 and sure enough it’s leaking. I don’t think that the guy doing the service would have said anything. Apparently there is one other place to watch for oil leakage and that is at a gasket on the housing of each rear wheel

Quite a big job … 3-days … they will order the new seal and let me know.

 

I enquired about Sync3 with him, basically no way to convert from Sync2.  Also talked about aftermarket mod and he said not a good idea as they had one in for quite a while sorting out the mess … having said that one of our contributors  ‘Big Guns’  says his is fine.  Think I’ll stick with my phone stuck on the dashboard for a while longer.

 

If I had thought that Ford wouldn’t have sorted some way to put a GPS on the MY15 screen and that Sync3 is now supplied on the MY16 and with the other bits I probably would have waited as I will keep this quite a few years.

Really happy with it though, a good choice.

Failed at 10000 my god how bloody poor???? just about sums ford up??
