HEY BEEP! STAY THE H~LL AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIPS!!!
$120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE PER ITEM! ...PER ITEM!!!!

If I do this again, will somebody please drive over and kick my azz? Thanks.

 

Great note. Tape to front of owner's manual.

 

and let me guess... all the work was done under warranty!!! if you already paid, i'm so sorry. if not... argue like hell to your service writer and keep escalating it.

 

Beep, any problems with the TVT265? Was the difference in performance worth it? Did it effect the mpg?
Did it impact the warranty?

 

I had a beef with the company. The "kit" wasn't shipped complete at first, they did a hack job on the engine cover, and it didn't come with any documentation what-so-ever. Some instructions and a spec sheet on the tune would have made all the difference in the world. Maybe they're doing that now.

The tvt265 DOES work. Along with the "Sprint Booster" it changed a very anemic engine into a lively and fun ride. 1st gear on my 6spd is very short now and there's some decent 2nd gear rubber.

I really don't give a krap about mileage but it appears to be about the same as before.

My 05 is out of factory warranty. Someone with a newer XF might chime in.

 

as i am back in alaska, this reminds me of my horrible dealer story. my xfire was in the shop having a few things done. i figured sense i was out of town it would be the best time. well anyways, the service writer insisted on calling me every morning as soon as he got in to confirm jobs. this would usually be awesome, except I told him the first time he called i dont care how long it takes, please do not call me until at least 10am eastern time. nope he continues to call me at 730am. thats 330am alaska time. worst vacation i have had in a long time. just a rant... i am done

 

UPDATE!!!
THE DEALERSHIP THAT GAVE ME THE SHAFT HAS CLOSED IT'S DOORS.
SERVE'S EM RIGHT. GOOD RIDDANCE.
