It's normal. I take it as part of a crumple zone, an area designed to fall apart on impact. It takes energy to tear a component from a vehicle and project it in another direction. I can use this property to my advantage, reducing the amount of force applied to the occupants if the vehicle is...

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/how-to-get-dtc’s-from-dash-cluster-using-engineering-test-mode.148033/ Engineering Test Mode is kind of like FORScan. Kind of. It's something of a hidden diagnostic mode, accessible via on-screen menus. There is an Engineering Test Mode in the 6G. I'd...

Attached is a stock photo. My exhaust tips are polished on the outside and the initial lip, then matte on the inside. With general use, carbon and condensation will become baked on, mainly at the lip of the tips, becoming increasingly harder to remove over time. On the inside of the tips, the...

So, well past any break-in period. I'd continue driving as you have. Check the oil level regularly and in a consistent manner. Even though you haven't noticed any thing thus far, continue to do simple reviews for leaks, under hood and under car. As to the oil level and the specification, my...

If you're interested or concerned about a loss of oil, I'd develop something of a routine. While I do not have a problem, my routine is I check under hood once a month. When the hood is up and the engine is hot, I check the oil level. Same way.* Same place. With a torch, I check any of the...

It'll depend on how far you want to take any of this. Hopefully, the spot remover will do just that: dissolve and lift any mineral deposits. Long-term you can study PPF-specific cleaners and decontamination soaps, something to use once in a while to keep the film peaked-up. Good Luck. :please:

I did some further searching on film-safe water spot removers. The only product I found was Xpel's. https://www.xpel.com/shop/xpel-water-spot-remover?srsltid=AfmBOoo9H2RDknF3Y33jMlTELifQGL6qpwptD7Dn59OEDK_tV9SSI8WL&variant=55849 There are tons of water spot removers. I was specifically looking...

I did some general googling on the topic. Commercial companies are now selling Paint Protection Film for windshields. "Windshield Protection Film" New car. Less than six months old. I wonder if the dealer installed it as some sort of package? If it is this film... - I wouldn't wash it while...

Being a darker hue, flaws will show much easier. So, there's that. Can you clean the car by hand at home? If so, great. There's a lot of reference materials in the link I provided above, both in product and technique. I wash mine at home with three buckets. One is a dedicated wheel bucket. One...

I'm including @DFB5.0 :thumbsup::thumbsup:. He could offer some guidance. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/forums/cosmetic-upkeep-covering-washing-waxing-detailing-repairing.78/

Agree with others: a short piece of electrical tape should fix that. As long as it is not so tight as it is stressing the bundle, or rubbing against something where it is cutting the insulation, tape it and leave it. You'd have to follow that run to see what it is for. There's a surprising...

Vodka with the Shelby name. Vodka made from corn. Vodka distilled in N.C. Pass. In fairness to this product, the same has happened to the Bourbon genre: new businesses in any part of the country, producing a spirit more about marketing and labels than what's in the bottle. Often overpriced...

I've enjoyed using the Ford Performance tender. It's a CTEK unit, branded Ford. Some use their Ford points to purchase. I've wired it to the under hood fuse panel, with the supplied dongle outside the car. When I'm ready to use it, I simply hock up and walk away. The tender body itself stays...

Spitballing, it's difficult to see something like that occurring. Not with anyone at my level :crazy: anyway. There are physical aspects of the project and the logical. Physically, getting everything to fit and work just so. That's a hurdle in itself. Logically would be very challenging. The...

My R4 will activate using a USB, but this is only enough for update purposes. The unit does not entirely come on. Just enough for the processor to accept and install software. In-car, the unit runs on the 12V, and, gets kind of toasty. Unsurprising, when considering what it's doing.

I realize you've got the hard copies of the manual for the tender. Attached are digital versions, to compliment.

These systems have become common in my area, from local shops to the dealer. If someone hasn't encountered these inspection and recommendation tickets yet... I can do most general maintenance activities myself. Sometimes, a trip to the dealer or service shop is needed. The last time I visited...

Curious, I did a random sampling of Ford Dealers. My process was completely unscientific. I was looking for advertised pricing, coupons and details for oil changes. Because of the differences in models, engines and requirements, many dealers would not list pricing. I can understand that. For...

For a 10-quart, CA dealer oil change, that is about right. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/what’s-your-ford-dealership-charging-for-an-oil-change.201134/
