Spanner/wrench light on 2017 GT

[OHHHSTANG]

Oh damn, thats a big repair then. Any idea what in the engine has failed?

Not very sure but Ford head office is being very very helpful so far so fingers crossed the outcome is good.

Yeah if they've agreed to replace the engine they haven't taken the easy way out thats for sure.

Hopefully you get it back on the road soon!

Hi OHHHSTANG

Hope your issue is easily resolved. Just because the dealer says "Engine" does not mean that your engine has gone to God. There are q hundred and one reasons for Spanner light and most of them are pretty trivial like sensors which are easily replaced.

Has your engine been ok since your first reported the problem?
Keep in touch with the forum re your progress in the mean time and the best of luck and good fortune for you!


Don't take any BS from them!

Thanks for your concern mate, the car is off the road atm and Ford is looking into it to make sure it's not a common problem... don't want to say to much until the issue is resolved... will keep you posted.

Hey guys, so finally after going to numerous Ford dealers... one dealer found the issues and it turned out to be the engine... this is going to be a very long process.

Sorry to hear but at least it's been identified. Very interested to know what the problem is. Do you recall having brown froth in your overflow tank?

Great to see, can I ask what Ford Head Office's involvement is? Normally they refer these issues to dealers.

Excellent!

Will be great to know which dealer discovered the issue and raised with Ford HO once it's all resolved. Sounds like a good dealer that people would be interested in using!

All dealers get the same training by Ford tech on new cars to get a better understanding of each and every ford vehicle. Some people learn quicker than others.
