  1. FORScan Help

    So, can you clarify the vehicle? Your's is listed as an S550, 2019. If it is, open an account and study the 6G forums. You'll find plenty of threads and should receive feedback if the question is asked there. Different vehicle entirely. But, you might find some insight trolling 6G. I start...
  2. My car feels slow

    You can try different drive modes. 99% of the time, I'm in Sport+. Best times of the year are early Fall-to-late Winter, when the air is coldest and most dense. But even other times of the year, there's a definite difference in throttle response between modes. Selected gear and RPM is going to...
  3. Oil consumption

    Hi @OnlyNonScout , What ever came of your oil loss? Was it as simple as the tech did not fill the engine correctly, or is it something more involved? Has the dealer provided any feedback yet?
  4. Mustang storage - Wheel ramps

    With this thread, I went out to several sites and boards to study what museums do, how they maintain their vehicles. These cars are rarely driven and spend most of their lives in storage. I'll discuss them in two broad groups. With any of these vehicles, maintaining proper environmental...
  5. Mustang storage - Wheel ramps

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/winter-storage-options.164018/#post-3316574 A similar thread I've contributed to with some additional comments on tires and resting.
  6. Indoor or outdoor car cover?

    Along with the cover and other prep, maybe gift the staff or an attendant a generous tip to look at the car once in a while? Not remove the cover, but do a stop-and-go, check to see that she's resting fine while you're out, the cover remaining secured.
  7. 24E05 Recall RECALLED - Again!

    Check the Ford dealer/s in your area. Ford does offer mobile service now for many general service items. I was within their radius. Ford came to the house, flashed the Body Control Module and closed a recall. While the tech was there, I got a tour of all the diagnostic software and connectivity...

  9. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    We currently have a Stellantis Thread, here: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/stellantis-ceo-abruptly-resigns.164346/ The web site search (upper right) is often pretty good at searching for an existing thread. Google is better still, just reference, "mustang7g", with the keywaords...
  10. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/dec/02/images-of-new-electric-jaguar-car-leak-out-before-official-miami-unveiling The article highlights a concept car. How much actually makes it to production remains a mystery. Edit, With the photo leak yesterday, some additional updates and the...
  11. Water drain holes.

    It looks like if the water is slight enough, it will just sit. If enough, it will cascade over the hump, while still staying under the lip meeting the glass, then enter the hole on the other side. Gravity, water's cohesive and adhesive properties will prevent too much from entering the wiper arm...
  12. Battery saving mode.

    Ford expects the car to be driven every few weeks. The Battery Saving/Deep Sleep mode is set to a timer. Edit & Clarification, Battery Saving mode can also be triggered if the car is having difficulty maintaining a correct charge on the battery. One way to help determine if your entering what...
  13. Is the extended warranty worth it?

    As you consider a purchase, you do not have to buy one until just before the factory warranty expires. https://fordprotect.ford.com/extended-service-plan If you do elect to buy one, your best price is most likely going to be through Granger Ford. They sell warranties for $50 over dealer cost...
  14. Carbon Intake filters

    The filter is housed inside the intake tube/s of an engine. I'm attaching a photo of one from an S550 as a reference. The purpose of the filter is to trap unspent fuel vapors from escaping the engine and intake when shut off; the paper element absorbs them. Most modern vehicles have these...
  15. Lost 8mm socket near ground straps

    I can't think of any damage it would cause being lost in that location. Maybe a hot spot, if resting against part of the engine or exhaust. Might have been caught by the belly pan and eventually come out. Could be resting against something, never to be seen again. Jacking the car up when...
  16. 2024 Mustangs have IR reflective coatings?!

    Previously I was using Tide Free, which is sold as having no scents or dyes. At first I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but I later confirmed under certain low-lighting conditions, the tub would put off this glow, like a low-level underglow. I was aware of the use of image...
  17. Tire Pressure anomaly

    If not checking manually, I feel the best alternative is using the TPMS readout while the car is on and moving. Updated readings should be available within the first 100-200 yards, 91-182 meters. What follows are some of my comments from a previous, thread...
  18. Oil consumption

    Can you give some insight as to how you are driving the car? Are you taking short trips often, lugging the engine, and generally putting around? If you are, that can explain at least some of the oil consumption. The Coyote, any modern ICE, needs to fully warm up. If not, condensation, nitrogen...
  19. Beware rabbits and other rodents

    Sometimes, it's simply bad luck and a brief opportunity. Often, undisturbed cover and protection from the elements, with a source of food nearby. Along with suggestions on scents and other measures, if stored in a garage, clear it of food, old clothes, storage containers, etc. You don't have...
  20. Oil consumption

    On Oil Consumption, from the Owners Manual. Page 299 Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km). Page 434 High performance vehicles can be driven in such a way that may lead to higher oil consumption (this includes extended time...
