AS i said my Mondeo ran out of fuel on highway other day due to faulty fuel gauge.
I picked it up with full tank, and had no idea of range (last car was a Falcon)
It told me it had quarter tank and about 200Km to go, so i kept driving...
It lied. The dealer is fitting a new fuel sensor to the tank on monday.
We tried filing it from Gerri Can but the locking flap wouldnt budge and all teh fuel ran down thesteet. Ended up being a Tow Job! (at Fords expense)
Top marks to Andrew Morgans from Sinclair Ford Penrith. He is service manager there and I have always found he "goes the extra mile" every time.
Big Finger to Thompson ford parramatta, coz the thing ran dry on test drive and they said that they would check it out before delivery....
Actually they totally lied for the whole time of the sale.
:
So does anyone know if there is a way to force fuel IN if you run out, or are we gunna see Mondeos on Tow every time the owner gets too ambitious/poor/forgetful?
FYI. I got approximately 740km from a full tank.
