They removed the shutters on the Fusions they worked on. The hard pipes look interesting. Definitely does not take a rocket scientist to see the benefit of having them installed.

Is there a way to get the TPMS system to notify you when you have reached the correct air pressure?

I wasn't trying to find out! But since I try to walk a few miles or so every day I figured if I ran out of gas I would be enroute to the nearest gas station...... 0 miles left.... Admittedly I was worried at this point. I was caught in Philadelphia construction....... 10 minutes felt like an eternity. 0 miles left she cruised into the gas station without a care nor worry into the world. I swear when I put the gas nozzle in she let out a sigh of relief and said "daddy I told you I got this!"

Not installed as of yet

I wonder what happen if the OP contacted Ford's regional manager. I know ESP is a separate entity. This issue requires as much visibility as possible. It seems that the dealer does not want to do 1 of two things. Either refund the OP directly, or submit the receipt to ESP so they can refund the OP. Either way the onus is on the dealer.

There was a part mentioned in a thread around here or maybe even this thread, there is a vent tube that goes from the PTU up into the engine bay. I assume this is to prevent ptu puking.

I wonder if they would fulfill a custom order for 60 Duro.........

I reached out to velossatech.com and sent them a link to this thread. I also requested that they join the group so they can respond directly. If they are willing to proceed they will need a edge sport to work with in Hollywood Florida. All they can say is yay or nay.

I haven't checked the other models, but I do know that the 2015+ Sport have drains in the PTU.

If you have access to shop that can remove all of the prexisiting fluid that would be the best way to go. I would try a cleaner to remove all of the old fluid, but since you have said that you have done it a few times you should be all good. Motul is a excellent company with a stellar reputation. I failed to mention them because I do not use them very often and their fluids actually cost more than the ones I mentioned. (At least in my neck of the woods.) If I had a choice I would choose Motul over Castrol. I have used both over the years and would not hesitate to use either if in a pinch. Like you said the frequency of the fluid change is important. The other contributing factor is the flashpoint. The flashpoint is the weak link with the Motorcraft fluid. You should compare specs between the fluids. This way you can make an informed decision. I have often heard but never personally checked to see if the parts/ part numbers were compatible. I have read that some have replaced their PTUs with SHO performance package or the Taurus Police Interceptor PTUs. Those models both have drains. I may have read that PTU from the explorer will work. I say may have read because I do a ton of surfing and sometimes its hard to keep track of the various places etc. But you very well may be on to something.

I don't understand what you mean by camera for the oil. If you are referring to inspecting it, I would suggest doing a flush and fill a few times and have a reputable shop inspect a sample of the old fluid. Based on the results you may be able to save your PTU or you have to replace it. The only thing you have invested at that point is drain/ siphoning the old fluid out, paying for the sample to be analyzed and new fluids. If DIY You might want to drain and fill a few times to ensure that you get most if not all of the old fluid out. Drive it for 50-100 miles and drain and fill again. Some suggest using a cleaner of some sort. You would have to be very diligent to assure that all of the cleaner is removed. If you have a shop do it they have machines that can extract all of the fluid, gunk and build up from the PTU. Since you are in Russia you might be better served to see if you can get a PTU from the Middle East. As far as I know those are the only ones that come from the factory with a drain plug to facilitate fluid changes due to being classified as extreme duty. Or I would buy the most recent revision PTU for your model if one with a drain plug is not available. I would either install the drain myself or have a shop do it. I would suggest Amsoil, Redline, or Royal Purple. My brother prefers Redline and I prefer Amsoil. We both agree that Royal Purple is a worthy equivalent. Either way any of the brands I mentioned are better than the "lifetime" fluid from Motorcraft/ Ford. Good Luck.

Sounds like a circle jerk and everyone is having a good time except the OP! Sounds like its time to ask for someones manager's manager!

This seems like it could work. The vendor said he is willing to make it for other models.... ford-fusion-big-mouth-ram-air-intake-system

You rented the car you should have a receipt for the rental transaction. Submit a copy to Ford directly, and let them sort it out with the dealer.

Some Mazdas use the same PTU and they acknowledged the problem. Mazda extended the warranty. Ironically Ford has not.

Good Job!

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off.

Between Ford's lifetime fluid debacle and outsourcing the manufacturing of the PTU they simply can't figure it out. Ford doesn't want to acknowledge nor admit that there is a issue with the PTU design and implementation. I have a co worker (2014 sport) that is on their 2nd PTU replacement. Ford makes it extremely difficult to purchase a replacement unit from the Middle East. Ironically that unit has a built in drain to facilitate changing the fluid. Ford's solution was to include a drain on the 15-18 edge and going forward they decided to liquid cool the PTU with the 2019 ST. While this may indicate progress to some, they still insist on using the same fluid.

ROTFLMAO!

Welcome to the group! The front tint completes the look and makes the Ruby pop! How dark is the tint on the front windows?

I remember you sharing your results with the group. I wonder if the Big Mouth Intake Snorkle or something similar would be helpful. Big Mouth Snorkle

To each their own. One man's trash is another man's......

If anyone is interested in more pics of the BTR Edge ST.... point your mouse in this direction.... BTR Edge ST
