I bought a 60mm throttle body and fitted myself with no mechanic help and my engine light went off straight away. More air flow to the engine = made the car breathe better! THAT or you could just clean your standard throttle body but that's boring lol!

Quote: Quote: Clean the throttle body asked ford about ecu update, they say mine not got any update, its a 57 plate did it only effect the early ones or will mine need it The '57 plate' means nothing. It could have an '06 ecu fitted, which was a problem. They need to remove the ecu,(because the part number is on the back), and the part number is what is important. Only this will tell them if it needs an upgrade or flashing. NOT when the car was registered. _________________________

Get some carb & choke cleaner from Halfrauds. _________________________ 2011 Focus 3-door Zetec 1.6 TDCi. Previous <img src="/images/graemlins/stemo.gif" alt="" />s - 2006 Panther Black & 2007 Red.
