F6 699 New Member 19 Member For: 8y 4m 1d Posted 09/03/17 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 09/03/17 10:06 AM Just got the word this morning Allianz are paying for complete new motor and cooling system except they want to flush out heater core but it's full of oil too. It's $900 to replace with a new one cause all the dash has to be removed so I said yeah I'll pay that. Wana keep this car forever. The bill to Allianz is $9,500 Man I am so relieved. It's be over 9 weeks 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92825-my-f6-sht-itself/page/7/#findComment-1633917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
