Well... after consideration I dont think im gonna put the ECU upgrade into my car after I get it back... for now my car is plenty fast... and I'll upgrade to the BORLA exhaust as long as it doesnt void my warranty....

Also!

My dealer said the part should be in tomorrow and should be installed then too... so hopefully Thursday I shall have my car back! Instead of this horrid Seabring (sp?)...

 

Talked to the dealer today... they replaced the computer portions of the Xfire... so its not that anymore... it still isnt working... they really have no idea why... and I dont know what they are gonna do to fix it... but they said everything is under warranty and has to be repaired... so now just to see what happens ... im extremely bumed at all of this... its sooo beautiful out in MI right now... was just crusin' in a vette for a bit but I really want MY car back ...

 

Man I understnad your pain.....

Today in wonderful Youngstown it is almost 80 degrees, I had my snow tires taken off and the Michellin's put back on.

Just got back from a nice long ride - This is the best car I have ever owned!!!!

Hope you get your's back soon!

 

My car won't start , dealer cannot figure it out , says that my car is " shorting out the dianogstic computer " what ever that means, is there a service

 

still new to this posting thing , is there a sevice advisory i should be aware of

 

That is the problem with mine... or was... they fixed mine finally took them a ****** week and a half ... but its done now... they had to replace the entire powertrain... im not really good with cars so i cant describe WTF that is ... but thats what they did! tell your dealer this and if they need a number or something from mine let me know in a PM! and ill help ya out

But as of now my car is fixed!!!

 

:lol: :lol: Yahoo :!: So glad to hear your "lazy bastard of a car" finally got out of the garage :!: :wink:

(Before any of you snipe back at my comment - it is a "private" joke between us, so back off) :wink:

 

Snipe? Us :?: :shock: :?:

 

You have a 7/70 "powertrain" warranty on the car. It's unbelievable they'd have replaced the ENTIRE powertrain (i.e. from the air intake to the rear axles) for the problem you described :!: :?: :!: I mean, new tranny, new engine, new driveshaft, new rear end, etc. etc. etc. Really :?: :?: :?:

 

:shock: Naaaaaah Never ...... :?: What was I thinking :?: :wink:

 

next thing you know there'll be a "no sniping allowed" rule :evil: ... and what kind of good fun would we have around here without any snipes :?:

 

dude im just stating what they told me at the dealer... i thought powertrain was the engine and trans too... but i didnt question it... cuz remember this WAS my fault for trying to upgrade... so they fixed it under the warranty and I got the fudge outta there

and yes I'm happy the lazy basterd is running again! all dirty... and needs a WASH hard core... so tomorrow it will get one

 

Wow...There are extra powertrains just sitting around? :shock: Do you have a copy of the work order? Good thing I was on vacation, otherwise I was planning to join Bob to get chipped. DC will wonder why 2 xfires blew their "powertrains" on the same day (at nearly the same time and location).

BTW, on my 2400 mile trip, I saw 1 Z4, 2 350z, 1 RX8 and ZERO xfire.

 

landho.... Checkout the whole thread. It was a combination of mods that cause his problem. Not the chip. The only thing that everyone else that's had the chip, including myself, is experiencing is more power and better fuel mileage.

 

WMichaels,
Yes, I know...But you never know about the Kharma that day at ecuchipland..bad luck can strike anytime...I was just having fun with Bob (now that his car is running again).

 

 

Today is a good kharma day (I know cuz I saw another XF today on I-95S out of DC). Go directly to Upsolute, do not pass Go, spend $400...
8)

 

Actually Wes it was 100% because of me getting the chip done

IT WASNT THE CHIP

it was the disconnecting of the battery... somehow it zapped the electronics when disconnected....

but no doubt Landho... I hope you get it done... im too scared to now... I'll stick to non-electronical power upgrades such as buying the supercharger from DC if it comes out with a warranty... and the Borla exhaust! even if it does remove the exhaust warranty...

 

I bet this will require disconnecting the battery. :P

So, they didn't disconnect the battery when they did your AVIC :?: :!: :?:

 

Hmmmmmm...... nice tip
