    Don't remember seeing it before, but would you please link to the 2015? The only ones I found where for the Chinese Edge (3-row) with the taller roof line.

     

    This is the one I am talking about. It is a Chinese EDGE.

  2. I just heard that my distant friend's sport car caught on fire in the highway, and there was nothing he could do other than watching the car burning. It occurred to me that maybe I should get a fire extinguisher for my car.

    However, I don't know which one I should get, my vehicle is 2013 ford edge with 3.5L engine.



    I know this is the Mods forum, but with all kinds of extremely flammable liquids in the engine area, thought you guys might be better equipped to answer the question.

    Thanks in advance!

  3. Ok that's usually called Ad Valorem tax which is a form of property tax.

     

    The reason I asked is because that process varies from state to state so whatever your state calls it isn't applicable to other states. Yours may call it a truck - mine may call it a car.

     

    They have two options, "Ford" and "Ford Truck", but "EDGE" can only be found under "FORD TRUCK", not "FORD".

    Not really a big deal, just looks a bit fishy.

    Thanks a lot for your input!

  4. Almost all commercially available windshield washer fluid is actually windshield washer antifreeze that is good to -40 degrees. So it's not a case of Ford trying to sell you something - they want to ensure you don't put plain water in the container because when it freezes it will damage components. But you don't have to use any Ford (or Motorcraft) branded washer fluid... just go to your local store and buy whatever brand of fluid you want. It will say on the bottle how low a temperature it can handle.

     

    That actually makes sense. I always thought that fluid was water when I was little.

  5. I'm not sure if this is a serious question, but I'll bite...

     

    The "blue water" is windshield washer fluid that is available from any auto parts store, dollar stores and most grocery stores (yes, and Walmart). I don't think Ford sells a premix washer fluid - they only have concentrate that must be mixed with water in the correct proportions. Most dealers don't even carry that. Every dealer I've been to just carries the same stuff you can buy anywhere because the Ford concentrate is inconvenient and expensive.

     

    There is no difference between various brands that would make a Ford or Motorcraft branded fluid even remotely worth looking for. The concentrate is part #ZC-32-B for the 32 ounce container that costs about $10 and makes 64 ounces when diluted (with distilled water that you buy separately). That 64 ounces would cost you only about $3 everywhere else.

     

    Well, this post might look like a joke to some people (and I hope they did have fun), but I am actually serious.

    The reason I am asking is that I read on my manual that the part number is ZC-32-A while this thing is no where to be found, not even amazon , and fordpart website says that they are no longer carrying that item.

     

    The reason I did not go to Walmart is that the winter is really cold in here ( I once had a coca-cola can exploded due to the low temperature), and there is this little warning in the user's manual

    "WARNING: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident."

    Yes, I am aware that this might just be another Ford's trick to get you to buy their product. But I wash my car regularly and hardly ever use the washer fluid, a few bucks more every year for a peace of mind is not too much a price too pay.

     

    Thank you very much for the new part number and detailed explanation!

    Best regards!

  6. I don't think Motorcraft even makes windshield washer fluid but the spec for my MKX is WSS-M14P19-A.

     

    But all the folks telling you to go to Walmart or any auto parts store are correct - the brand doesn't matter.

     

    Thank you very much! My local ford dealer is next door to the Lincoln dealer, guess I will check out that one.

  7. Hi, I have a ford edge 2013

    Today when I open the engine hood, I notice the blue water is nearly dry.

    Does anyone know what part number it is on the fordparts website?

    Any please please please stop telling me to go to the walmart...I just want to know the part number for ford/motorcraft.

    Thanks in advance!
