The problem is, this issue goes from working perfectly to catastrophic failure with no warning.
Also reasonable number of failure points also removed.
I'm having KPM replace mine this Wednesday. Call me paranoid but I haven't driven the car since warrantee ran out two weeks ago.
Hi Michael, let us know how it goes at KPM.
We just had our third service last week and the dealer said that they still have not had an oil cooler failure yet. They have had a number of the aircon faults though. The service manager, who I have known for quite a few years, said he is pretty confident that Ford would replace the engine if need be even out of warranty as it is a known fault. He said if the car was well maintained and didn't have massive kilometres on it then there shouldn't be problems. I wouldn't be keen on being the pioneer finding out if that is the case.
I actually found out that we have equivalent to the factory warranty through Swan Insurance for the next two years as part of our purchase price. They sent out the policy in the mail when the factory warranty ran out. Not sure that I want to test that warranty for something big like an engine, but as we have only done 7000ks over the last three years, Ford or Swan would have to be extreme a-holes not to come to the party if something went wrong.
