I get your a ford tech bud but we got 2 ex ford techs at my work and they both cracked up when I told them about it today and said it was a way ford coined over £90 plus vat off the customer to plug the computer in. That's only my experiance so please don't be offended
You carry on what you're doing and I will too.
In fairness once you have comms with the car on IDS it doesn't take long to reset the values anyway.
What they charge out to the customer..ain't up to me.
It's only the what I call 'French' engines the 1.6 TDCI DW4/6 and the DW10 2.0 TDCI that usually have the label in the box with a new EGR advising to 'program with WDS'. (reset the learned values) the rest of the engines, yeah just fit and clear codes.
