Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

[Streetfighter Mustang]

One would think being a known fault it should be covered under warranty.

But guys spend some money if your paranoid and get the defective part removed.

Have you had your cooler fitted?

Yep fitted looks good and best of all no weak oil cooler to worry about

Update on the Letter of Complaint

Letter (registered) was received by Ford Australia on 6 December 2017. I sent a follow up email on 25 January with a copy of original letter. After a week I sent a follow up to the follow up email. Finally a response from Ford on 7 February stating that I should be contacted within 2 days by the Customer Relations Team. Will advise further, then. Worse than watching the grass grow.:ford:

Hi GT 550
Did you find this doc link or did Ford supply it?

Should we take this when servicing to ensure it is replaced or is it just reactionary by Ford?
cheers

That document is freely available on the net. Easy to find with Google. I think the trouble with it is that it merely outlines the steps that should be taken should the cooler start leaking, it doesn't suggest preventative replacement. That's still going to have to depend on the individual dealers, until (if) Ford issues a recall.

I spoke to my local ford dealer during the 15000 service to a bald dipshit behind the desk about the issue, he just laughed at me and said with a stupid smirk " and what forum did you get that of". I told him its a well known issue amongst various forums, prominent car editorials etc. He told me to my face that they have not heard of the issue before or have been notified of a engine oil cooler issue through out the ford internal sources. Needles to say this dealer at Mudgee will no longer be servicing any of our cars. Not happy.

Tell the dick wacker I have pics of the failed item and multiple members on facebooks as well.

Company’s like Street fighter are not going to waste time and money for an issue that does not exist.

Mine is getting replaced on Monday, as a result of me asking about oil cooler at my 3 month inspection.

Seems to be very dependent upon the Dealer

What is your build date ?

Has anyone out there added a tune to their car and had an oil cooler let go? By the sounds of it, this issue should not be denied under warranty, regardless of modifications.

Yes I did I had Xforce headers CAI tune and no worries on my part.
New engine and removed the stupid oil cooler first chance I got.

[MENTION=23500]stang_86[/MENTION] Let me clarify, you had the headers and aftermarket tune when the cooler failed, and the dealer still replaced the cooler and engine under warranty despite these mods?

I have a CAI and tune here and this is the only thing holding me back from installing it.
