I thought I'd ask in here rather than the Aussie forum as there seems to be a lot of discussion about RHD car oil cooler failures in the U.K. section. So, what's actually different about the oil coolers on the cars built post July 2016? Has anyone been able to confirm if there is an actual difference? Are post July '16 cars exempt from failures? Has anyone heard of one failing on a post July '16 build? I'd love to know.
My car is an October '16 build and I'd like to do some track days in my car but I'm very apprehensive. If it were to fail and cause engine damage, I don't have a lot of faith in Ford covering it due tobeing on track. By the same token, I could upgrade the cooler but that would be kissing warranty goodbye anyway. Not something I feel you should have to do for the sake of reliability. I will be fitting and aftermarket oil sump with baffles, but that is more easily reversed, unlike an oil cooler.
TIA
