Hi all,

 

I have a 2015 UK wildtrak that has a long history of issues that I believe relate to the egr cooler. 

 

A couple of independent mechanics have historically diagnosed coolant loss as defective filler cap or bottle. 

 

Both have been replaced but I still lose coolant so heres my logic. 

 

- no visible destination of coolant (no puddles!)

- no oil in the water or water in the oil (not head gasket)

 

As such I assume the egr cooler is leaking into the exhaust. 

 

Other symptoms

- periodic coolant loss (at least 2 litres per week)

- periodic engine cut out (as if overheating)

 

So, I'm banking on the egr cooler as such my question is as follows. 

 

On a 2015 wildtrak can the egr cooler be replaced without dropping the gearbox? 

 

I have no issue removing ancillary parts such as throttle bodies l, hoses and pipes but if it requires the transmission out the way or the engine lifted I will bounce it to ford!

 

Thanks in advance

 

Dan
