    S550 GT PP with P0345, P0349, P0300 and P0308 codes

    Car ran great all weekend. Cam phaser fixed it. Runs much better as well but one small problem, it has a small oil leak hitting the manifold and the burning oil smell. Still going back to the dealer but at least the problem was correctly identified.

    Car returned running fine. They claim they have no idea what failed and they just send the bad parts back. The next trackday at Thunderhill with BMWCCA will determine if they fixed it.

    S550 GT PP with P0345, P0349, P0300 and P0308 codes

    Got a call yesterday that when the tech pulled the car in to begin work found that the phaser was backordered with a date of "30+." I told them I'll take a loaner car right now until the car is actually completed. This morning told they found they found the part in Richmond, CA and had already...

    S550 GT PP with P0345, P0349, P0300 and P0308 codes

    Driveline is stock. I would NEVER mod a Ford under warranty. They have a nasty habit of denying warranty work after that...Dealer has the car again for the third time. Now that the codes are stored it's in their hands now. What viscosity of oil is everyone tracking? What grade of fuel is...

    S550 GT PP with P0345, P0349, P0300 and P0308 codes

    AT 3,800 miles both cats failed and dealer replaced under warranty. Done several trackdays and every session ends the same way. Flashing check engine light, poor performance and when I limp the car back to the pits and pull codes get #8 misfire, random misfire and the cam bank2 and the...

    Private Track Day Part Deux: October 1, 2018 - Thunder Hill

    Next time I'll have the five point slow. Update: the dealer returned her with 5W-30 oil which may work better at higher temps. Will be at Thunderhill West with SpeedSF this weekend and if the cam and misfire codes return I'll bring her back home with codes intact for the dealer to review.

    Great event yesterday. Here are some session videos from the Z06. BTW, they have a fix for our S550 and we'll test it out at the SpeedSF event at Thunderhill West this coming weekend.
