Hi All,
I recently had the 15000km service done on my MC Titanium then at 19950kms the service message started coming up every time I started it so today I took it back and had it reset. I watched the guy do it and thought some of you might want to know how to do it yourself since its out of sync with the service schedule: -Leave the door open and push the start button without pressing the brake (don't start the engine) -then put your your feet on both pedals and hold down -keep an eye on the dash where the messages come up and in a few seconds you will see it say its resetting the service message -Once its finished take your feet off the pedals and push the start button again Jobs done takes less than a minute |

Does anyone know why Ford Oz in their wisdom decided on a 15,000 km service interval? It's 20,000 km in NZ as it is in Europe.

You can take it back to Ford and they will reset it while you wait but thats a bit of a pain if the dealer isn't close. There wouldn't be too many cars in OZ running 20k service intervals none come to mind. |

My question is why do Ford AU change the service interval for their Euro cars to 15k? Don't they think that the oil will last that long under Oz conditions?

Thanks for the opening post - had the message come up on my display this morning after 20K (can't believe I've only had it since September) & used the instructions to reset (serviced at 15K as per log book).
Wonder why the cpu isn't reprogrammed for Australian servicing requirements, as I'd imagine Ford / dealerships would get calls pretty regularly. |
