Yes, you only use the reservoir cap to fill coolant. It is an expansion tank system where the whole cooling system including the reservoir are under pressure.

From your linked article, this PTU originally debuted on the Jeep Cherokee, searching online and there seems to be a similar story with PTU failures! https://www.google.com/search?q=2014+jeep+cherokee+power+transfer+unit+problems&oq=2014+jeep+Cherokee+ptu&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l2.10060j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Now, again I suggest a vote type survey on this forum, just remember that people come to forums only when they have problems, so if out of 500k sold Edges (as an example) , and 100 had PTU, you'll see 100 posts of PTU problems, but the rest will not post about not having an issue. Also, from that Jeep PTU issues, this model only came in 2014, while the Edge from 2007.

I suggest to make a survey amongst forum members to get an idea of the percentage of those who had an issue with the PTU. Same for the other "common" issues. Note that for the PTU, Ford did offer an extended warranty (10Y/120K Miles) for the Middle East where there is much higher temperatures & high speed driving in addition to crossovers being marketed as SUVs and driving on sand dunes is much more common than in the US. Also replacement PTUs came with drain plugs & on 2013 or 2014 all PTUs came with drain plugs from the factory. Meaning Ford was trying to address the issue. If I'm not mistaken, there are also at least 6 or 7 versions (incremental improvements) for the standard PTU.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new ride.

The rain sensor is on the windshield behind the rear view mirror, near the center but to the passenger side. It is under a black plastic cover. As far as I know, if the sensor is removed from the windshield it will require a new clear silicone adhesive when re-installing it.

Welcome to the forums.

How is the difference in ride? Also, with the 20", you have stock size tires (245/50/R20)?

Didn't the 2010 Edge Sport come from the factory with blacked out Headlights & Taillights? I mean blacked-out in the manner described in post #6? I am sure you can find a good set on ebay.

I once had a MotorCraft battery that had a cracked case that caused the positive terminal to corrode very fast, when I took it to the dealer for replacement they still connected their tester & told me it passed the test!

Looking at the current performance vehicles from Ford, the Edge ST will be the quickest (0-60 & 1/4 mile) Ford with an ST badge. That is until the Explorer ST comes, which with the 3.0L & 10-speed is still unknown how fast could be. From my memory, ST has always been about half-way sports vehicles, rather than full sports as the RS. Still, an Edge ST with the 3.0L would have been nice. At least now with the 2.7L makes me happier with my Sport .

I have been using a new tire brand for a few months now that recently have become available in USA. Vredestein Ultrac Vortis, made in in Holland, and I find them relatively good, the reviews on them from EU are favorable. Though they are summer tires.

Welcome to the forums & congrats on the new ride.

They should've put in the 400 HP 3.0L engine.

My 2016 also had the Auto lock enabled with no setting in the instrument cluster to disable it. Using ForScan & following the IPC type 2 sheet for the 2016+ Explorer & 2G Fusion Sheet (don't remember correctly) I was able to add the setting to the menu & then disable it. I was also able to add the "Auto Re-lock" setting that re-locks the doors after 45 seconds if you unlock it remotely but don't open any door. This post has the mod to disable Autolock on a 2017 Edge. But I believe that enabling the IPC mod, changing the setting in the cluster settings will change the corresponding body control module.

I had previously an issue with the driver side vent being noticeably warmer than the passenger's which was due to low a/c charge.

The adaptive steering is about changing the steering ratio, not effort. To check its operation, my own test, check while parked how many turns the steering wheel takes from lock to lock (extreme left to extreme right, or the other way), with the adaptive steering it is approximately 2 turns. Normal vehicle without adaptive steering require 2.5 to 3 turns.

If you leave the door open, the battery saver would kick in. The only things I believe you can leave on & drain the battery are the Hazard lights (flashers) and parking lights (not the headlight). Another thing I'd suggest to check are the battery terminals, make sure the connectors tight.

The MKX (Nautilus) already has a digital cluster, the same one used on the MKZ & Explorer Platinum. The problem with Ford is Lincoln. They always hold back features to make Lincolns have more features. The EU Edge (and Fusion, aka Minded) have the digital cluster, but not in US. In Europe there is no Lincoln.

On my 2011 MKX I was able to read the individual tire pressures & temperatures using ForScan. The data came from the TPMS sensors. It is just like what akirby stated, Ford,for whatever reason, decided not show that data. Even on the some Fusion models that did NOT have individual pressure readings, a ABD enabled the display in the cluster with no other hardware change.

How old is your Edge's battery? It could have gone bad.

Your comment regarding the seat bolstering is interesting, what trim was it?

As far as I remember, it is as per Jason's statement: 2015 Edge had MFT 2016 Edge had Sync 3 from the beginning (for US / non-export) Export 2016 Edge (EU / Middle East, I'm sure of) had MFT. 2016 MKX started with MFT then later builds came with Sync 3.

Yes the Get 1.5 Sport didn't get any other wheel option, but the brakes were similar to non-Sport models (maybe except for FWD SE models).

They are kinda pricey to keep them just in case. The price most probably reflects each ($37).
