True, that would be a discussion for engine oil and catch cans

Sounds like a driveshaft and/or RDU and/or PTU issue. Where was the grinding sound coming from? That would be PTU/RDU. Vibration might be the driveshaft, but hard to tell with the sounds in the mix.

Any electronic gremlins with your XSport? Then definitely look into the battery's condition. Many of these codes are communications related and do not affect actual function. I would reset them, see if they come back. If they come back, perform a KAM reset and see if they come back. If they come back, verify the battery operating condition & replace if needed.

The world we live in today.

you can listen for yourself on their YT channel, I have not heard it first hand. i think it sounds a bit raspy in a racecar-y way, which is to say good IMHO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTqCOrqIBGA

The MRT sound is pretty distinctive. I have heard similar tones from the Focus XX that they have modified. No mistaking it.

Looks really nice!

The primarily problem is definitely with the PCV system (though Ford has taken steps to try & address) and buildup on the back of the intake valves. Sometimes though, this crud will accumulate in the intercooler and get sucked into the intake, but that's a story for another day. Fuel injectors on these engines, sadly, are not as reliable as they have been on the NA engines. Just the nature of how hard they work in the DI environment. Many reports of one or more getting stuck and flooding the cats with fuel (yes, stuck OPEN). So if you smell gas, DO NOT drive any more than you have to. Get towed to the dealership/service shop. Otherwise you could be looking at having to replace your exhaust system on top of the injectors themselves. If one injector goes, all should be replaced at the same time, preferably, or you will go through the experience again ... and again ... Be aware of your warranty coverages.

Wow, what a great deal! Do post some pics, and enjoy!!!

Fortunately for us with NA Edges, fuel injectors are not that difficult to replace as a DIY item. But for Ecoboost engines ... much more time consuming and involved. So if you have an EB Edge especially, keeping the fuel injectors clean with good fuel is a good decision for the long term.

Since the Edge you are looking at is FWD, that takes away AWD related headaches Are the miles/year consistent, and have they been primarily highway miles? There's a bunch of maintenance to have been done by 200K miles. Plus all the components that are "replace as needed". You can get an idea here: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/07frdmg1e.pdf Look at all the TSBs issued for this generation 2007-10 on this site: http://www.revbase.com/bbbmotor Using the VIN go to this site and see if there are outstanding recalls (like fuel tank and airbags for example) https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/maintenance/recalls.html All comes down to price & time. And don't expect the water pump change to be easy. It is driven by the timing chains and you have to take the timing set off to take the water pump off. That is probably the hardest external part of the engine to get at. The transmission probably worries me more than the engine. It does require regular fluid servicing to stay healthy over a long period of time, TSS/OSS sensors have been a common problem. Very doable work, if problems don't go deeper than that. In a few cases, burnt clutch packs and faulty torque converter have happened. When you test drive, make sure you drive it long enough to get the trans fluid good and hot. Wheel bearings also go bad on this Gen of Edge. The rear ones can be a PITA to replace. Personally, I'd at a minimum get all the fluids tested at Blackstone Labs (or similar testing company) to make sure they look OK. If they check out, along with inspection by a trusted mechanic, you may have a good buy.

Hmmm. I am not 100℅ on this, but this is probably standard shift interlock functionality?

Welcome to the forum, Michael! Your Edge looks like it has the need for speed, so go feed it some mph's

Welcome to the community, RedEdge, nice lookin' ride

Excellent progress, Tacyon! Keep up the good work and +ve attitude. And post the mandatory pics of the new ride

Time will tell. The fix has not been out that long.

The other dealership is BS'ing you, though it is easier to have the resolution at the same dealership, the warranty is not the issue.

It's only a minor cost change towards the end, so you can wait if you want to. Definitely get it BEFORE the original warranty expires (3/36, time OR mileage, not just time) and you don't have to have it inspected IIRC.

Welcome, sorry to hear about the issue. How many miles? AWD or FWD? Not quite understanding the brake sensor Q though. Is there a reason you think that is the issue. Have you tried shifting out of Park without starting the car (foot on brake pedal, ignition to ON but not RUN, etc), after it has been sitting a while, or after shutoff? Is this happening on a hill or on flat ground as well? Do you engage the parking brake every time you park? The parking pawl can get worn over time and lead to notchiness. A "remedy" is to shift to N first with foot on the brake, start the car, then shift to whatever gear you need, then release the parking brake. Has the trans fluid ever been replaced? Have you checked its' condition? Do not have these transmissions flushed, only "fluid exchanged". Since the screen is not serviceable without cracking open the transmission case, best to keep the fluid fresh.

Did you pick top tier stations or did you mix it up?

Congrats on the new ride. Yes, 5x108 is the bolt pattern. Make sure the offset works with the Edge.

Would love to see some shots of the engine bay, norm, motivational material

There you have it then.

Here's one video on how to and a writeup http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/150621-how-headlight-bulb-conversion-h11-h9-9005-9011-a.html

Well, the smallest size you can go with is likely to be the size of the OEM spare tire, I am not sure what size the wheel is on that. Fordparts.com is not showing me a part number or listing, unfortunately. What year Odyssey? Are 17" wheels available from Honda? If so, then 17" can work. But what works for one car does not necessarily work for another. You should stay within the manufacturer's specs for safety, and the spare wheel diameter is the smallest you should go.
