So dealer had fitted a replacement sump, started leaking again, when I looked at it the sealing job was very rough.Took it back, they had a look and diagnosed leaking crank seal and rear main. So then had to pay $115 for diagnosis and got a quote for nearly $1900.Mechanic quoted $950. Dropped the car this morning. Trans came out and guess what - rear main is dry and sump seal pissing oil.Waiting for Ford to call me back. I'm asking for them to reimburse me the original repair and the diagnosis so I can just get the place where the car is currently stranded to finish the job. But yeah, depends what they agree to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I took it to Ford was that my own diagnosis was their previous report was the problem!In fairness, I guess it is a bit hard to tell exactly what is leaking until it comes apart. But they didn't even entertain the idea, even though there re dags hanging off around the sump! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what pissed me off today, I'm waiting in the pissing rain for my kids, 3 arrive and the youngest doesn't. I stay put...in the rain... because she knows where to meet me. Turns out her teacher had told her to wait for me somewhere else, without me asking her to do so, or her telling me that she told my kid to go elsewhere. Farken stood in the rain and got soaked for ten farken minutes lol. Also the dog just took a giant stinking sh*t outside my bedroom door so that's nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
