Another oil cooler line blowout.

[JR369]

It's gouged like it got hit. Doesn't look like a manufacturing assembly issue or defective part to me. Thanks OP.

OK I’m a little cynical, but I will come out and say it anyway …

You mentioned an AC issue that took a while to fix. At any time during that process is there the possibility that someone worked on your car that was seriously pissed off either at you directly or or indirectly via their manager ?

Looks like a burst line to me. Nothing more.

I would like like to think so, but I would hazard a guess that if the braiding was cut off that hose and there is any manufacturer ID on the hose itself (not the fittings), it’s rated pressure will be ‘much’ higher than what it actually sees in that application (and it’s not like age is an influencing factor).

Working on Porsche I have seen plenty of oil lines fail. And fuel for that matter.

They were slow to fix the ac line but it was done without any bad blood or argument. The main reason it took too long was the service writer didn't know the part came in. Just dropped the ball. The ac line was done by a near retiree guy and I talked to him for awhile. Cool old guy and had a friendly interaction.

Anyone know what the oil pressures are in a transmission line? Maybe a defective hose just gave out at a weak point in the line.

Typical automatic transmission cooler line pressures are usually sub-50PSI IIRC, but I don't know about the DCT...

They were told to throughly clean the underside. They didn't. They went to park it and ripped off one of the front canards. Now they gotta order a new one. I took off the belly pan and rear pan and cleaned them. Sprayed down the bottom with brake cleaner too. FUCK FORD. This is all after my ac failing and took 3 weeks to fix that.

The problem is the techs are paid per job. They don't make any extra money cleaning up the mess.

In the futire, tell the tech you will float him an extra $40 if he cleans it up real nice.

If you don't want to pay, then you will get the bear minimum.
