Was total wire harness replaced or some specific wires only ?

It cost me exactly ZERO rupees to replace the wire. And I don't know if the whole harness got replaced.

The truth is that I am not that much of a gear head. So I didn't bother to inquire.

My MO is that I buy a used car with the cash I have in hand and use my trusted mechanic to solve my problems. I don't like dealing with manufacturers' service centres as I typically crave a more personal touch in my dealings. My mechanic gives me that comfort level. He picks up my car, returns it and only charges me if there is something significant in terms of expense.

In this case, he told me that he replaced "the rat chewed wires". I took it at face value as he charged me nothing. And as it is, it was one more thing that we were trying in our quest to solve this long running issue.

In the end, the action that we took worked and my car jerks no more. That's all I could ask for.

After I replaced the rat-chewed wires, I waited a full 2 months to accept that we had gotten to the bottom of it.

Thanks a bunch.

Glad to hear your issue is resolved, sorry I had busy tight schedule for the past couple of months and couldn't login to check any messages.

There is a thread to educate you to protect your car from rats, go through it, wish you all the best.

Hello all,

Hope this is an appropriate thread for sharing my concern.

I drive a BS6 Ford Endeavour 2.0 ( AT 4x4) . I am facing intermittent issues with its transmission and power delivery.

1. Gear up-shifts especially around 4th, 5th, 6th are jerky.

2. Engine behaves differently in similar driving conditions, sometime becomes strenuous

3. There is drop of power ( 1-2 sec ) while during sudden acceleration, sometimes when required during overtakes with initial speed, less than 40 km/s.

4. The engine revs with high RPMS without corresponding speed ratios, resulting in high revving engine & grueling sound even at low speeds.

5. Hill climbs and off roading needs to be carefully done as the accelerator needs to be pressed long to get the momentum / power and there is sudden disproportionate release of power thereafter.

The worst part is, despite facing all these issues and multiple visits at the ASC , there are no error codes during FDRS scan due to which the service centers are helpless in diagnosing the issue.

Any inputs from the community will be helpful

Regards.

It is related to the clutch, flywheel and the pressure plate.
I'm not sure what the similar parts are in an automatic but the 4th point is enough to suggest it is not an issue with the engine but the problem is that the power generated by the engine is not translating to the wheels in a efficient and consistent manner.
