officially pissed at Ford.
Ok, so about 9 months ago im driving when i notice theres coolant on the footpad under the pedals, turns out the heater core was leaking and it cause fluid to go everywhere, so i take it to Ford and have them fix it. about a month later it happens again, so i take it back and have it fixed under warrenty, so i go off to school in august, come home in october, and it happens again as im pulling in my driveway after a 4 hour drive, once again, i take it to ford and bitch them out for having to do this three times......same exact thing....so im driving tonight and i smell the coolant once again, shit, yes it happened again, im fucking pissed because it ended my night of racing before it began.....
so heres my question, its the heater core or the plumbing going to it. Is there a well known week link in the system, a clamp or a hose prone to breaking or leaking? would high rpms (above 5000) for extended periods (maybe 2-3 minutes with the car hot) cause something to rupture under pressure? i mean i have to take it to ford and basically tell them what to do to it so it wont ever happen again, this is rediculous. i mean i would just bypass the heater, but i need it in tally sometimes....and if it ever happens again is there a quick fix i can do to keep it from leaking for the time being, like the time it takes me to drive it home to the shop whatever?
sorry its so long, but im pissed and im out of thoughts about this mess..
worst part is i had a good hundred dollars tied up in races i would have won hands down tonight too...
thanks guys.
