    For Sale '02 LS Parts for Sale

    I replied to the email you sent me. I'll attempt to get out to the garage soon and send you a pic via email. The going is slow, I apologize. I broke my ankle 12/19 and had surgery 12/26 ( 6 screws and a plate).

    valve cover gasket

    I believe I used Felpro as well when I did my vcg, cops, & new plugs. ran w/o issues for almost 2 yrs. no complaints. ( had to trade it in for a 12 passat bc she needed TOO much work) :'(

    Thanks, I'll have to try it out on my driveway. it usually kicks in for a sec when I pull out too fast. (gravel)

    Advancetrac problem.

    not as worried about the airbags. more worried about the advancetrac issues as im not sure how it affects the vehicle.

    Advancetrac problem.

    Mine just came on last night as well. I was driving and the dash message showed up with the advance track light on the dash now. The brakes are fine, and the ABS light isnt on. NOT looking forward to trying to figure this out. I guess I'll take it to the parts store to see what the codes are...

    visteon coils

    I was surprised when I pulled out the plugs and saw them being NGK's. Especially after I called the dealer and asked about the OEM and they gave me the Motocraft number. So far though, about 1k on the Visteon COP's and no problems. ( Knock on wood )

    Dealership experiences

    LOL! Darnit! I just did the VCG/COP/Plugs on my wife's car. I didn't hear that it was under dealer warranty until like 2 days after! :( Oh well.....

    2002 LS V8 - Replacing ignition coils, spark plugs, and VCG's

    It shouldn't take more than a couple hours I'm assuming. You still need to take a lot of parts off to get to the coil covers. About as much as if doing the VCG. The driver's side is a PIA on the back part of the motor. The brake power booster? behind the master was in the way for like 2 or 3...

    Oil Change Question

    Thanks for all the insight. I noticed the purple oil in the store the other day and wondered about it. I usually check the oil every other fill up, along with all the other fluids. So, I'm under the hood fairly regularly. I understand some concerns about some people never looking until it's too...

    Oil Change Question

    I just did the COP's/Plugs/VCG's yesterday and it wasn't TOO bad...... but I don't look forward to major work past this. My motor looked clean. I remember reading through here that someone mentioned Ford recommended full synthetic oil. It's all that's been used in mine. I'm at 87k right now...
