  1. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Hi Andy, Sorry to hear about your Mustang. 1) It's still under warranty. We get a 4 year/120000kms warranty here so most are still under warranty. Only really went on sale here in 2016. 2) They haven't fitted it yet but it seems like Ford SA will pay for it. No reason to believe otherwise just...
  2. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Update on my situation Got the car back after a couple weeks with just the oil cooler, radiator, hoses etc. replaced. I continued to push them for something in writing stating my car is safe, as reliable as before the issue and that they were comfortable to go against the TSB. Ford SA is...
  3. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Should quickly mention, we only sell about 50 to 60 Mustangs a month here versus 10 times that in Aus. So 3 at a dealer is a lot given we also sell a fair amount of Ecoboosts.
  4. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    My car isn't tracked but I'm a sometimes aggressive driver, can't help it with the exhaust sound. I'm more often aggressive now since it's more a weekend car.

    Thanks. Will do
  8. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Thanks. Should find out soon. I'm hoping the intake and exhaust mods don't cause any problems but SA dealers are ruthless when it comes to voiding warranties even based on unrelated mods... suspension, car audio etc. Given it seems the TSB originated in SA, I hopefully won't experience too much...
  9. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Hi guys. New on the forum, from South Africa. Last night (Saturday), my 2017 GT PP (reg 2018) overheated. I pulled over and noticed huge puddles of milkshake coming out my car. I noticed the cylinder head temp running a few degrees higher than usual, eventually I saw it climb within seconds to...
