I only drove it for a minute to get it off the main road of the city but trAns felt all normal for the small drive and had no slipping etc. probably having it towed first thing but has anyone heard of the trans light coming on over a blown radiator hose.I mean if something so major can break from something so minor it sucks bigtime. But I guess it's just like having the zf milkshake.

If the car is tune with SCT and you have an xcal, throw the xcal on it and do a DTC check, post the DTC up and it will help us help you. If your car is stock and you like to do some DIY stuff, a cheap OBDll reader off ebay would be a good investment, most come with an iphone app now to do basic DTC checks, alot of the numbers for DTC's transverse makes/model. Sort of a standardisation, which makes things alot easier. From memory you will still get the occasional odd ball code may be manufacturer specific but for the most part it will get you out of the sh*te Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84220-blown-radiator-hose-now-trans-light/#findComment-1369536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic might be able to chime in on that one.I had something to do with leaving the ignition on and maybe cycling the door locks or something, cant remember. But yes, definately sounds like engine MIL that was on in the dash Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84220-blown-radiator-hose-now-trans-light/#findComment-1369556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
