Trying to read between the lines here, I don't see any reference to mechanical changes - everything they talk about could be achieved by a new ECU program --- right?

And if so ... then your dealership should be able to reflash your car to the latest program.

I just heard back from the dealership today, and he said that there is nothing that Ford can do until the engine hits 12500 kms, because that is considered the "broken in" point of the car. If this is the case, there isn't much I can do in the meantime other than record the mileage every time I fuel up.

He also made a point of mentioning that there was no such thing as a service re-flash for the car... which makes no sense in contrast to what I have been reading onling (esp. from the focaljet duratec forum).

Anyways, thanks for all the help here guys! I really appreciate it...


but for the meantime, if any Ottawans see a litte red zx5 chugging along at the "designated" shift light... that's me... no laughing please, my ego gets hurt very easily :)
