We have a 2011 EDGE SPORT with 25000 KM and had the TSB done a year ago and it solved the ticking problem.

Can someone tell me where to pull up this tsb??????????

Don't waste your time trying to look it up.

Simply take it to your dealer and get it fixed.

It's free.

I only said that because I looked it up in oasis.

No worries

My goal was to inform anyone having this problem that there is a fix for it.

It is very frustrating when you spend your hard earned money on something BRAND NEW and you are faced with this type of problem.

We buy new so that we don't have to deal with such issues.

I hope everyone can benefit from this post.

It's actually TSB 12-1-17

The original description of the ticking is oasis tsb 11 11 15

The repair tsb is 12 1 17

Sorry for any confusion but these are the numbers stated on my work order.

Has anyone gotten anywhere with the noise? I believe mine is getting louder and I am getting more concerned and of course the dealers tell me it is normal!

 

Thanks

Scott

There is a fix for this it is a oasis tsb 11 11 15. It involves putting oil restrictors into the camshaft on the cylinder head closest to the front of the vehicle.

It raises the oil pressure to eliminate the ticking.

Repair kit # AT4Z - 6A296 - A . Just had it done and it fixed the problem, I can't beleive that so many people have viewed this post and no one had any answers it has been over a year.

Well I started this post and I just ended it. Good luck to all. :rolleyes:

These engine have solid bucket type followers They are adjustable, some slight ticking may be heard under hood, but I wouldn't expect to hear it with the hood shut.

 

The cams have to come out to complete adjustment, as all clearances are measured, then the buckets removed, shims measured and the proper sized shim to set clearance is installed.

The noise is not related to an adjustment issue as the noise is variable and not a constant.

I beleive that it may be related to some issue with the design characteristics of the variable valve timing.

Even with the hood closed the noise is very audible from inside the vehicle. Ford says that the noise will happen

at start up and go away. This is not the case there is a design issue somewhere. It may be related to the cam phasers

or some part in the valvetrain, it may possibly have something to do with the oil passages in the cylinder heads. Who knows

at this point. It is 100% related to the 3.7L engine as I have heard this same noise in 5 other brand new edges and lincoln mkx models.

This condition may not be heard by the average driver as their ears may not be tuned in to such noises from the engine.

Ford has issued a "Special Service Message" about this kind of concern. You might want to enquire at your dealer.

Thanks for the response B_Bob.

Ford claims that this noise will not cause any engine damage, Which just tells me that they don't know what is causing it.

It would be a shame to crack into a brand new engine. We will just have to wait and see what TSB comes out for this. These

engines are just put into production without being properly tested. Just what everyone wants a $ 50,000.00 vehicle that has

all the bells and whistles, but an engine that sounds like it has 200,000 plus kms. Quality is job 1 YEAH RIGHT!

We just took delivery of our 2011 edge with a 3.7L V6 engine. Got the vehicle home and noticed a slight ticking noise coming from the engine at idle, shut off vehicle and checked the oil

level it was full. There is a ticking noise that is coming from the injectors which is normal. The noise I heard sounded like a lifter noise. Has anyone else come across this issue. You

know that ford is probably going to say that this is a design characteristic. Has anyone else experienced this issue. Thanks for your input.
