    S197 2006 model Airbag cover

    Thank you for your reply, I normally source parts from RockAuto which I found a very reliable and economic source, my primary concern on the parts was for the airbag replacement. I know for sure that our Local Ford dealership won't help me in any parts, because I was told that they can only...

    S197 2006 model Airbag cover

    I would not like to delete the airbags, even though in my country, the top speed on most roads is of 60 km/hr, there are a couple that go up to 80km/hr but as a safety feature I would not like to omit it, I just want to create a better looks, most probably I will end up creating a good looking...

    S197 2006 model Airbag cover

    Yes, it is the first thing that came to my mind, either the entire cover in my face of sharp splinters that would rip through my face :/ At this point, the only two alternatives that passed through my mind are, either a cover which is already split in two, which I would glue over the stock one...

    S197 2006 model Airbag cover

    Hello all, I tried to take a look at the forum to see if there is any similar post but it seems not. So my question is this, I am trying to enhance my steering wheel to a better looking one, nothing over the moon, so no rev lights or flat bottom, those versions cost too much, all over USD...

    Model 2006 V6 4.0 litre

    Any suggestion one can give on how to best flush the system from the current cooler? I mean what's best to use, since the tap water we have, has what I think should be small traces chlorine (to keep water safe and drinkable), since we also find calcification most of the times on faucets. I do...

    Silicone Radiator & Heater Hose Kit,

    I tried searching for this topic but could not find any related, if there is kindly point me to it. I am in the process of changing the radiator coolant again, because I used one which I was not sure if it was good or not, so I decided to change it again. In the process I was thinking of...

    Model 2006 V6 4.0 litre

    Thank you, I made sure to leave no traces of the old coolant, at least as much as I could, because I read that it is not good to mix different types. I also did not use tap water to flush the engine, since tap water contains chlorine and did not want to contaminate the inside of the engine with...

    Model 2006 V6 4.0 litre

    Thank you for your reply, I did not top up the coolant I did a total change of it and deeply flushed the engine with approximately 50 litres of distilled water before filling the engine up again with the new coolant. So I made sure there was no trace of the old coolant before adding the new...

    Model 2006 V6 4.0 litre

    Hello guys and gals, I have a question here, its mostly technical and preferably would like expert technical people to give me a definitive and correct reply about my query, without offending anyone else. Just over a year ago, almost 1½ years now, I changed my engine coolant and after looking...

    Fuel filling issue, the return !!!

    @lwarrior1016 I tried that as well, if the gauge is marking more than 1/4 it will still stop @GriffX Not sure where you live, though I'm in Europe. Once I did get the Evap canister system out and tried to clean it with compressed air, it seems to have worked for a couple of fill-ups but then...

    Front Struts quetsion

    Hello guys, So my 06 V6 4.0 ltr Stang was equipped with front orange KONI struts and lowering springs (blue from AM) this had a very low profile, I think it was around 2 - 3 cms from tire to wheel arch. Unfortunately the bump stops on these KONIs deteriorated and started crumbling with the...

    Fuel filling issue, the return !!!

    As I mentioned in my initial post, when I have the tank marking less than 1/4 full (between empty and 1/4) I have no problem filling it up to the full without it stopping. But every time I try to fill teh tank when the gauge is marking more than 1/4 full, then it will be a nightmare filling it...

    Fuel filling issue, the return !!!

    So I know this issue has been mentioned a gazillion times, but has anyone yet solved the problem of filling the fuel tank up without having the station pump stopping every 5 seconds? I tried the upside down pump handle, did not work. I tried cleaning the EVAP system, seemed to be working for...

    Feedback, concerned about temperature.

    Thanks for the info. After a 3 hour drive, I went into the garage and opened the coolant reservoir's cap, also to check if there were still any air pockets left, but the coolant did not boil or bubble up, it just released some air and the coolant inside the reservoir was not hot, just warm.
