well....
ford spare parts warranty is a crock of s**t, a** holes wouldnt replace a broken belt tensioner under warranty, excuse after excuse, first was that i didnt get the car towed to their service department, 2nd was because i removed the tensioner, 3rd was that the top section that had broke off was missing/ lost on the hume hwy.. then they tried to say it only failed because of a forign object getting jammed in the belt??. wtf. they then state, if they were to accept it i would have to wait for ford in melbourn to perform a csi investigation to find out if the part failed due to a manufacturing fault.. and they would also require proof that the car has traveled less than 20'000kms plus supply the cars vin number and kms..hmmmm i can understand if the car was still under factory warranty, but the car is about 15 years out of warranty! SO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN GO SUCK A BIG FAT ONE!!!! so f**k them...lol i went and picked up a new belt and a dayco tensioner and its back on the road, again....lol so unless your car is std or under factory warranty dont bother with genuine parts warranty, because its a crock of s**t...... |

Its prob easier to get the carbon tax removed then to get something under warranty from a car dealer |

I can imagine their shock & the look of horror on their face if they took a good look at your car!
 That's why you go to places like repco for stuff like that, if it was a dayco tensioner, you give the rough kms that it was fit, current kms, receipt & it will be sent away to dayco, usually things like this come back saying to replace them, rarely do they get knocked back on warranty.

to be honest i only brought the genuine one because it was at a trade staff discount price..
funny enough, the dayco one is a ford one with the ford oval machined off.. so the genuine ones are made by dayco... |

Lol I have a similar story with ford not fulfilling their warranty and wanting to do a 'csi' investigation too. Everyone I have come across in the service and parts departments (apart from Papa ofcourse) has been an arrogant prick and the main reason I bought a Subaru over a new Ford because I know what they are like!!
