Platform recipes (2)

• Coolant smell, puddles or temperature creep on a gas Transit V6: thermostat, housing and hoses with fresh coolant (mode fm-tgv-cooling-service)
• Misfire, rough idle under load or hard start on a naturally aspirated Transit V6: idle-heavy fleet duty wears plugs early - full plug set plus the coil that fails the swap test (mode fm-tgv-ignition)
