Anyone have their MT82 fixed with the TSB : any problems after?My car is back sitting at the dealer 17k km on it : 2-3 and 3-4 shifts had problems Nov 2017 build , already had the engine replaced .........
Exactly. i was “lucky” The tech was meticulous with his measurements. Since then its been a different car to drive in terms of noise and confidence in the car.
The tech found a number of measurements out of spec and one cylinder was oval shaped instead of round. No exact diagnosis of what the ticking noise is though.
Well its been a while and i did not update what happened on this thread.
The car ended up needing a new long block and this was replaced under warranty before the ticking TSB came out
back in March/April 2019
I have had 2 oil changes on the new motor. No tick no knock.....so far
I hope this...
Car has had its first oil change , Motorcraft oil , Motorcraft filter. Before this i had taken it to a second dealer that could not hear the noise, granted the noise seemed to come and go. Now i hear it more than ever.I have emailed my original sales guy to see if i can take it back to them...
I just installed the Spacecityspy spacers along with the Steeda clutch spring ; Awesome combination and value to transform how the 2018 GT drives. Heel toe is so much easier now.
I installed the Steeda spring on my 2018 GT over the weekend ; The car now feels like it should. If you haven't done it yet go for it. This has been the best bang for my buck followed closely by the pedal spacers. Heel toe is so easy now without crazy foot placement. its like driving a totally...
I get the exact same readings on mine; I had an "old school mechanic" notice it and he thought it was low , From what i know its fine , it fluctuates and seems low but as i am learning there is a new kind of "normal" on the 2018 Mustang GT
So I am pretty new to the 5.0..... and owning a new car...what is your experience with oil consumption? I have Just over 3126km approx (1953) miles for my southern friends) on my car and have noticed that i am down a couple of quarts/litres it seems. I haven't had the first oil change and at...
"Does it sound the same when not in quite mode? I have heard some rattle specially when cold when in quite mode on mine."

I have over 3000km on it now; still rattles in all modes; I had put it in quiet mode so we could hear it better on the videos.
I took it out for a longer drive...
It probably was the sending unit ; they did not note it on the repair sheet as all it said was that the gauge responds when the diff shield responds; when working at track temperature.
(that is not true )
The manager is the one who explained what they did ie put the gauge(gauge being up front...
I havent taken it back yet ; I will be busy for the next few weeks , also just noticed a dent from the last dealer experince ; i will get back to them when i get my time back!!
Thanks for all of the responses; dealer stated that it tested fine no codes etc etc however they were told to put the gauge in boiling water and then reinstall . The gauge is now working.
:)Great Points BLU2DSKY and MVFJET
I just took the paperwork and brought the car home. (i have my reasons)
The way the document reads and what was told to me was they followed the advice from Ford Engineering strictly. That they disconnected the VCT then the sound went away; They then said...
Ok Picked up the car today;
I am posting the reports given to me as it may help others; BTW it says that i contacted Ford and asked for a new engine:
I didn't contact Ford. What i said to the dealer is that if they diagnose a motor issue i want a long block not a short block.
That was as far...
The dealer has had my car all week ; first they could not hear it . I went in this morning and showed them. We then went to another 2018 GT I started that and revved it the same rpm and now this car is making that same noise; I heard back from the dealer that they had hotlined the issue with...
Thanks for all of your input ; Car is still at the dealer for the engine rattle and I pointed out that the gauge should register thanks to this forum. I really appreciate this group and forum.
From what i was told yes it is only on the PPI cars in the event you want to track the car, I found it kinda by mistake then noticed it wasn't working .....
