Diagnostics Test... How much$$$

[OED666]

Hey homo's

how much do you think ford will charge to run a diagnostics test on my tin box. i am currently having issues with the ABS?

Since fitting the correct tone wheels to my big brakes, the check abs light is still on. the abs works for about 1 minute, then the light comes on and no abs.

could do.. but just though i'd ask.. plus i am procrastinating about doing work. this is more time consuming.

charged me $45 to remove the airbag light. it depends what is wrong with your ABS. could be looking at a sensor which they are making less and less genuine parts.

well, i rang up, and they said $88 just for a diagnosis.. gay.. i will be spewing if its to do with the new brakes too..

sif bother with abs anyway.... also depends what ford dealer u go to some are tight asses some are cool....

chances are they stored their NGS away somewhere and too lazy to get it out to check the codes.... or some might be cool and just do it for you free in the driveway....

as bentls already said it just depends where you go, they may make you book it in and pay by the hour or they may just come out and do it in the driveway, at my work if you rocked up later in the day out of the blue we would probably just grab the NGS and check it out in the driveway, cause at that time of day there wouldnt be much point booking it in and stuff

Paul,

defeats the purpose of spending $2000 on upgraded brakes that dont work as they should... i dont think my insurance would also like it if they were to find out my ABS was faulty..


Brett, that could be great if you could find out..

What is the air gap between the tone wheels and the sensor?

dunno.. i havent checked. BT re-fitted the tone wheels and sensors, and he said they looked to be fitted correctly.

[Rollin]

Find out what it should be and check yours. Even half a mm too close or too far out can make the abs not work correctly.

umm... finding out what the gap should be might be difficult... :S... i'll give it a shot though


edit... now you have me thinking Rollin, could the uprights be different where the sensor fits, hence being the incorrect distance from the tone wheel...

Use feeler gauges bro...
