That press release looks to me like they planned to relabel they BG44K in the Ford branded package. I can vouch for the 44K stuff in the 2.7. Having used it, the stuff is legit.

I believe your assumptions are incorrect. The IAT isn't sensitive to fouling. These days an MAP has taken the place of the MAF - the MAP is way less sensitive to fouling compared to the MAF and its very rare that it requires cleaning. My 2017 2.7L has 123K miles on it and its never needed carbon removal. .

I use a cargo liner and the side blocks the OEM cargo light, so installed an LED strip. This is the one I bought, but the listing doesn’t show white as an option currently. Sandfren Car Trunk LED Strip... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9T51GVT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Made a significant difference!

As ignorant as I am, why is a transmission fluid change so complicated. An engine oil change is so easy compared to a transmission service.

More and more of this AI slop garbage showing up on youtube lately. It is super easy to generate and the title alone to me says it is clickbait someone is generating to drive their revenue stream from the platform. When I run across these things I block youtube from suggesting the channel again, but it is a wackamole game sadly.

That model year & trim did not come with a 2.7L V6. The SE trim only came with the 2.0L 4 cycl turbo. The 2.7L V6 was only offered in the ST version. Some Lincoln's may of had that engine available to it, but all models of Edge's, except the ST, got the 2.0L cylinder Ecoboost. As far as purchasing, all depends on maintenance price. I'd swap all fluids & check for brake & tire wear. Overall, those model years are good, but all depends on how well the vehicle was maintained.

Introduction post. Just saying hi. Just got new to me '14 Edge SEL 3.5 AWD. Sync 2 v3.10 Has 180k on it now but was fleet vehicle 90%of it's previous life with all maintenance done. Just got forscan and enabled remote start and tried the navigation hack... Success with the remote start .. jury still out on the nav.

I had EBC's on my focus years ago, geez 20 years ago at this point 🙃, & I wasn't too impressed with them. I found Centric when I did the SVT brake conversion & have been loyal ever since. When I converted back to stock before selling the focus, I missed a driveway entrance as I was so used to bigger brakes of the SVT conversion. I really miss that car sometimes, but it was never engineered to last through northern winters 😢

2020 2.7 EcoBoost (GEN 1) owner here. Just an introduction. Hoping to fit in with everyone here. Left TN in 1979 and landed in FL in 1999 after 20 years in the US Army. Headed to the Edge/MKX/Nautilus forum to post now. Feel free to head over to my first post to see what I did to my vehicle ... not much, but, it's a start on a journey for power.

Has anyone installed this or something similar? Any thoughts on whether it is worth doing or not.... https://www.jxbperformance.com/products/p/ford-edge-2nd-gen-escape-3rd-gen-and-lincoln-nautilus-1st-gen-differential-bushing-insert-kit

You can do the tranny at the same time! Pop 2 plugs, drain, add the fluid (Ford has built-in a handy funnel holder), drink your favorite waiting beverage for the fluid to reach 180 F about 10 minutes and install the site plug!

I feel pretty confident doing my first PTU and RDU service. I'll probably take it to my dealer for the transmission service. More so, just concerned that they actually do it. And do it right! Being on this Forum gives me so much valuable information. Including a lot more confidence in doing some of my own maintenance. Thanks to everyone!

So you have to go to the dealer for service

Also Valvoline Protect and Restore the oil.

Following a Google search it seems it was not a rumor, but an actual agreement. BG's press release announcement here. Attached is a Motorcraft leaflet. Parts can be found online, examples: PM-44-A here. PM-30-K here. Chemical_Product_Flyers.pdf

Thanks Enigma. I was able to fix my parasitic draw issue, or at least it's gone for now. I remembered I was having problems with my ignition key switch a while back where the key was sticking and wouldn't turn easily. I decided to spray electronics cleaner into the key switch and worked the key in and out cleaning debris with a cloth. The parasitic draw stopped immediately. Similar to the tailgate connector corrosion causing the PCM to not go into sleep mode, the ignition key switch was doing the same. I'm symptom free for 5 days.

Makes perfect sense. If they can charge you a ridiculous amount of money to do it at the dealership, as opposed to a 10 dollar bottle you can do yourself. I run a bottle of Chevron Complete fuel system cleaner with a full tank of gas about every 3-4 thousand miles.

The section below that which has "Transmission Fluid Level Check" also tells you to add a liter after checking and installing back the level plug.

I just got a notice from Ford that I could extend my Blue Advantage service plan. I least I think it was from Ford. I go to the web site and put in the reference number I got from them. It would not work, there was a problem. The message said I should join a Chat to resolve the issue. Of course they wanted my email address, for no good reason. When I got on line with the Chat lady I was told that she could not solve the issue and that I needed to talk to one of there sales reps. I wonder if this web site works at all or if it is designed to fail so I have to call one of their sales reps. A high pressure sales rep, I am sure. This is total BS and makes me want to buy anything but a Ford for my next car. When did flat out lying to your customers become standard business practice.

Well, think about this: Take that $2400 / yearly cost and put it in a separate bank account and use that money for big repair bills. After a few years, that will be a tidy sum to dip into. If you never need it, then you have a bundle of cash for something else. If it was me, I would not pay that. Too much money.

I think the 2022 FSM is a little more updated. The difference between the 5L and the 6L would be if the transmission was overhauled or if its just a drain/refill. If you added 6L at this step and the transmission was not overhauled I think its fine, there would just be more fluid draining out when you pull the leveling plug. Also if it was overhauled it still might be low when you pull the leveling plug so they have you add .25L at a time until it flows down the case correctly. From the 2022 FSM: 1. Transmission overhaul (includes main control and torque converter drain) Volume : 6.34 qt (6 L) 2. Main control overhaul or replace (with out transmission overhaul) Volume : 5.28 qt (5 L) So for the fill I put in 5L, got TFT up to 185 on jack stands, then pulled the leveling plug. The fluid looked like this: I let it drain right until it looked like this and then I installed the leveling plug: Then I buttoned everything back up and put in another 1L of fluid in as both the 2019 and 2022 FSM say to do. If you did not add that 1L, yours is underfilled. I put about 5K miles on the car since this flush and it shifts great. No weird shifts on the highway, no hunting for gears. It changes gears as it should. I also have Livernois updated tune but the tranny feels pretty good.

Sounds like just another scam. I would regularly get notices that my extended warranty was going to expire and I needed to contact the warranty company. These notices were not from Ford, although they made it look like they were from Ford, but some 3rd party either trying to run a scam or trying to get me to buy warranty coverage I did not need. Simply go on-line to your Ford account and check your warranty and check your warranty paperwork you got when you purchased the vehicle.

I assume you tapped into the factory cargo light wiring harness for power???

I have had the exact same messages however when this happened, I lost power steering completely. Not easy to steer this cars under manual power! I determined after research that the problem was with this part You could have the same issue. In my case, this cable had come loose and fallen down on top of my driveshaft, which burned through the cable, requiring full cable replacement. Maybe your connections on this cabe are coming loose? Maybe your cable has fallen down like mine did, just that it has not burned through? Maybe it is something different entirely. You can find this cable behind the motor. You have to look up between the back of the motor and the front of the transmission, above the driveshaft. This is a known issue by Ford, documented in Ford paperwork. It is covered under warranty.

Hi BoostedEdge Thanks for sharing those FSMs. I have also done this procedure on my 2019 ST, and referred to the SM's you posted. The only procedure I did differently from the steps you posted is that I didn't top up the transmission fluid with 1L after filling with 6L then checking the level plug after reaching operating temperature since it seems that step is reserved for Initial Fills or for Transmissions that have been Overhauled. I didn't have mine overhauled or serviced, so I just did a simple drain/fill, filled with approx 6L, ran until operating temps were reached and checked the level through the level plug. In the attached references, it reads: 2022 ST FSM For Draining and Filling - Step 2. NOTICE: The following fluid amounts listed below are for initial fill only. 2019 Edge Transmission FSM - Filling Step 3. NOTE: Steps 3-8 apply if the transmission was overhauled. Did you have your transmission overhauled or a new one installed? I may be wrong so wanted to reach out. I monitored my temps on a long drive (2hrs) through some hilly terrain, max temps were 87C (188f), which seems to be similar to what you show here, so likely no overheating on either of our cases. But from what I understand, you don't want to overfill transmission units, nor do you want to be under by a liter.

You need to make the harness from under the left head light to the center of the bumper. 4 wires. positive, negative, Can+ and Can-. The two CAN wires should be twisted. 18 or 20 gauge for the power is more then enough. If I had to do it again I would use a Cat5 wire. Use one of the pairs for the CAN. I would use a twisted pair for each power wire. For example: Blue Can+ Blue/White Can- Orange and Orange/White Positive Brown and Brown/White Negative This is an easy, but time consuming job, if you have experience with electrical work and basic mechanical skills. However, this is not a beginner project. You can do a lot of damage to the front bumper and wiring harness if you are not careful.

yes they are full LED which is why I was looking at replacing the whole unit. They are not serviceable. it also started working again so idk wtf to make of it.

The coolant intrusion issue was supposedly fixed for the 2019 model year for the Edge. I think most of the issues with the transmission are related to the 6F35 (harsh shifting, flex plate breaking) which was last used in 2018 in the Edge. While the 2019+ engine does have some new things (the EGR cooler), the 8 speed transmission has been around since 2019 (in the Edge, since 2017 in some other vehicles) and I haven't seen any trends of high failure rates or issues. I personally bought a 2019 at the end of its powertain warranty and felt good not opting for the extended warranty that was over 10% of the purchase price. It already suffered the EGR cooler failure, the PCM update done and the cooler replaced.

Just ordered a Turbosmart 1.5/twin scroll 2.7 Kompact EM BOV VR2 50/50 to replace the stock BPV. Anyone have a 50/50 BOV you can comment on, so far as where you noticed a difference other than the 'PSSSH' sound factor? Maybe less lag on initial acceleration, better throttle response between shifts, smoother power over the power band? I'd much appreciate your comments.

It was very common on mid 2000 to 2010 legacy cars, my 2000 Grand Marquis had a MAF and an IAT separate, but 2003 it was IAT attached to the MAF sensor module. But on a vehicle without a MAF? Or anything not legacy?

I have moved my vehicles to Akebono - good grip and very low dust, or could say no dust. Right now I've got the best Autozone carries because I found the issue during my CV axle replacement. On my BMW K1600 motorcycle I use EBC - they're the best for the bike but make a lot of dust.

I am going to presume you have a 2012 Ford Edge SE since you didn't expressly state the trim model. Per Cooper Tire, your standard tire size for that car is 235/65 17. Cooper offer the Endeavor Plus and the Endeavor Winter in that size. Maybe the whole issue resolves around the current wheel / tire you have on the car, as they are over-sized from OEM standard. The 245/50 20 is an optional size. Per the Tire Rack reviews, the Endeavor Plus is rated " Excellent " in comfort. When I bought my car, they came with 245/50 20 Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2. The comfort rating is lower than yours ( 8.0 ( me ) vs. 8.7 ( you ). I found those tires too soft so I chose a different tire of the same size to meet my wants / desires. Now I just have to find someone who wants them Seems your initial plan of going back to 17 wheels / tires may be the best solution for you.

Thank you. That's what I did. I opened it and disconnected it.

Like all insurance, it's a gamble. If it was for the SEL with the internal coolant pump, it might be worth that insurance. Is it a service plan or an extended warranty plan? If I was considering this type of thing I'd stay well clear of the 3rd party ones and stick with Ford plans.

@IWRBB - sorry mate for not answering! I have no notifications. So those pictures/info come from factory service manual i bought when i bought my car. Manual has been built based on my car's VIN. However i found more versions are covered (including 2.0 liter engine and 8F35 tranny). Yes, you're right - essential if you want to do anything around your car.

@Jetboy47 - could you share code address in ForScan you used to disable that bloody start-stop BS? I have ST 2022 and looking to get rid of SS as hell. No, i'm not going to use "elimintaor". Partially because importing it to europe will add even more $ to already ever priced gadget IMHO. Thanks!

They are not all the same! There are some many factors. While diameter is important, what that diameter does, how many revs per mile, is sometimes easier to see the differences. 2 randomly picked tires that tire rack shows the actual specs for (not the generated from published sizes). I don't think you understand section width versus tread width, and how that can affect the ratio (that 60 in this example which is a percentage).

Thanks for the information. I will check that cable for sure. For some reason in the back of my mind, I thought about what garycrist had posted. With all the technology around us -RF interference/radio waves/cell towers/Wi-Fi etc. all it would take is being in the right place at the wrong time. When these systems get interfered with, they get confused and go crazy. I feel like the dealer is going to tell me they couldn't find anything and everything is ok. Unless it happens again at which point I am driving it directly back to the dealer without shutting the car off so they can see what I am talking about. I will definitely give an update when I know more. Thanks for all the great info.

Ok, I figured it would be pretty time consuming having to take the front off. @Wubster100, I saw you mention that a possible FW flash to the radar might be needed if it is pulled from a non-edge; do you have the documentation on doing the flash? My yard has a few vehicles with the same part # that I'm (hopefully) going to be able to source the radar from.

Hey guys, I don't know if this was mentioned earlier or even if this thread is still looked at, but is the CCM harness prewired? I've got a Titanium that I plan to retrofit ACC but I am still trying to figure out how difficult it would be and what parts I need.(Most of which I have gathered in this thread)

I had the same issue with my 2021 Edge ST. Took it to get serviced and mentioned the SSM above which they acknowledged. They Drained and refilled the RDU under warranty yesterday. The drive home was uneventful. Will test more this weekend.

Yes, they are not serviceable, you have to replace the whole thing! Expensive and sad. I think you should check all the plugs/connectors and grounds. unplug and plug back in. That will 'clean' the contacts. You might get lucky.

Finally got to this project today. As previously stated, the splash shield is not sold separately. It is sold as part of the front fender liner. There are 3 plastic rivets attaching the shield to the liner, as well as two 9/32" bolts underneath. For easier access I also removed 2 plastic push pins and two 7/32" bolts attaching the liner to the fender. Used a pair of snips to break and remove the 3 plastic rivets inside the liner. Went to Lowe's and bought a black plastic bathroom garbage pail for around $8 that appeared to be the same thickness and material as the splash shield and was almost the same curvature/radius. Cut the pail in half the long way, flattened it out and traced the outline of the OEM splash shield on the garbage pail and used a dremel to cut it out. Smoothed all the edges and used about 10 aluminum pop rivets with small washers on the back side to attach the new plastic to the OEM shield. Used a heat gun to sort of melt part of the plastic to conform to a couple of curves in the OEM shield. Bought a Pittsburgh 7" Poly hand riveter kit for $12 at Harbor Freight, which came with an assortment of plastic rivets. Used that to re-attach the assembly to the fender liner. All in all about an hour's work, spent around $20 and its better than new, twice as thick as the original and looks fine. I even spray painted the aluminum rivets black, just because. And no need to remove the wheel/tire. With the steering wheel tuned full left there was plenty of easy access. Done and done!

Mine do not have a spot for a replacement bulb, it is all integrated as one unit. Couldn't I reuse the light control module?

Yes. The license plate was the source of mine too. I also noticed (new noise) that the trim pieces on the roof, both sides, just above windshield can make flappy/tappy noises at highway speeds and when I physically tap on them by hand, it replicates the noise.

Mass Airflow Sensor dirty. Bad ignition coil. Faulty ignition coil boot causing short to ground under heavy load. One or more spark plugs fouled. A partially clogged fuel filter.

Removal description and side panel illustration from the 2016 Edge Workshop Manual... Good luck! Position aside the liftgate weatherstrip, release the clips and remove the liftgate scuffplate trim panel. Release the clips, disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the loadspace trim panel.

There is a small wire attached to the negative battery cable near the post with a clip. Disconnect that and your problem is solved.
