    • Welcome to the Forum @Qprint1!   From the 2013 Edge Workshop Manual...   Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding Draining WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.   NOTICE: The coolant must be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated, it must be recycled or disposed of correctly. Using contaminated coolant may result in damage to the engine or cooling system components.   NOTICE: The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Failure to follow these instructions may result in engine or cooling system damage.   NOTICE: Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. Chemically flush the cooling system if a non-specified coolant has been used. Refer to Cooling System Flushing in this section. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.   NOTE: During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant may change color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.   NOTE: Do not use stop-leak style pellets/products as an additive in this engine cooling system. The addition of stop-leak style pellets/products can clog or damage the cooling system resulting in degraded cooling system performance and/or failure.   NOTE: Less than 80% of coolant capacity can be recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusty or contaminated coolant requires replacement. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section  100-02. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one-half turn counterclockwise. When the pressure is released, remove the pressure relief cap. Remove the 3 push-pins, the 7 screws and the radiator splash shield. Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock. Open the draincock and allow to drain. Close the draincock after draining. Filling and Bleeding without a Vacuum Cooling System Filler - 2.0L EcoBoost   NOTICE: Engine coolant provides boil protection, corrosion protection, freeze protection, and cooling efficiency to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, maintain the engine coolant at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.   To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: Add Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent. Do not mix coolant types. Do not add or mix with any other type of engine coolant. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection. Do not add alcohol, methanol, or brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing. Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles originally equipped with Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.   NOTICE: Do not use stop-leak style pellets/products as an additive in this engine cooling system. The addition of stop-leak style pellets/products can clog or damage the cooling system resulting in degraded cooling system performance and/or failure. Install the radiator splash shield, the 7 screws and the 3 push-pins. Open the bleed valve on the heater core inlet hose. NOTE: Make sure the coolant flows from the radiator through the upper radiator hose and fills the engine. When full, coolant should flow from the bleed hole. When adding or topping off the engine coolant: Measure the coolant concentration in the vehicle using Coolant/Battery Refractometer 300-ROB75240 or equivalent. Determine the concentration desired based on the vehicle duty cycle of extreme hot or cold operating conditions. Add/top off or adjust the coolant as follows: For concentrations measured 48/52 to 50/50 (equates to a freeze point between -34°C (-30°F) and -37°C (-34°F)), use Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted to maintain a coolant concentration in this same range. For all other concentrations, use Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Concentrated and/or distilled water to get to the desired concentration. When refilling the engine coolant after a flush procedure, use a mixture of Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Concentrated and distilled water to get to the desired concentration. Recommended coolant concentration is 48/52 to 50/50 (freeze protection -34°C (-30°F) and -37°C (-34°F)) engine coolant to distilled water. For extremely cold climates (less than -37°C (-34°F): It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%. Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas. A coolant concentration of 60% provides freeze point protection down to -50°C (-58°F). Engine coolant concentration above 60% will decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. For extremely hot climates: It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%. NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%. Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas. A coolant concentration of 40% provides freeze point protection down to -34°C (-30°F). Engine coolant concentration below 40% will decrease the corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 48/52 to 50/50 (freeze protection -34°C (-30°F) and -37°C (-34°F)) mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection. Fill the degas bottle to 25 mm (0.984 in) above the COLD FILL line. Install the degas bottle cap and close the bleed valve. Turn the climate control system off. Start the engine and increase the engine speed to 3,500 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Turn the engine off for and wait for 1 minute to purge any large air pockets from the cooling system. WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury. Check the engine coolant level in degas bottle and if necessary fill to 25 mm (0.984 in) above the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL on the degas bottle if the engine is warm or to the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL if the engine is cold. Start the engine and let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat is fully open. A fully open thermostat is verified by the cooling fan cycling on at least once. Increase the engine speed to 3,500 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds. Turn the engine off for 1 minute. Repeat steps 9 through 11 a total of 5 times to remove any remaining air trapped in the system. WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury. Check the engine coolant level in degas bottle and if necessary fill the degas bottle to the max level mark. Install the degas bottle cap until at least 1 audible click is heard.   The full 2013 Edge-MKX Workshop Manual section, which includes the 3.5L/3.7L Duratec engine procedure, is attached below as a PDF document...   Good luck!   Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding - 2.0L EcoBoost, 3.5L 3.7L Duratec - 2013 Edge-MKX Workshop Manual.pdf
    • 2013 Edge has this hose.  I like steps on how to use this  bleed valve to get rid of  air pockets  after a flush drain and fill were done recently Part #    8L8Z-86362-A            fitments  only shows it on Escape and Fusion models
    • Thanks, I updated it because I was wrong. 2016 might require a USB hub update to work with CarPlay (had to swap it on a 2016 Escape, but not a 2017).
    • Anybody try Phoenix Systems coolant test strips to see if you're changing coolant too early or too late?

    • 2016 Edge in the US had Sync 3. 
    • Ford has disabled software updates for the computer in your infotainment system called the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module). This is basically the computer that runs your SYNC 4 system (your touch screen, navigation, apps, etc.). If your vehicle's SYNC 4 software version is 23187 or older, your vehicle's infotainment system cannot currently be updated, not even by a Ford dealership. Ford made a technical decision to block updates for certain SYNC 4 systems. As of now, they haven’t explained why. Ford is expected to release more info or a fix later.
    • Sorry for being ignorant, but what does this mean in journeyman's terms. What would the reason be for ford to do this? I have a 2024 model, so I am curious to what is going on with Ford.
