  1. Older thread but update for 2014's. Mine was serviced by Ford today (Canada), no seal leaks, just preventative fluid change. Total cost $106 (Cdn), that's like &75 US... Ford fluid, 1,2 hours labor. Fill plug was very easy to find (marked with red paint) just close to exhaust so has to be cool before opening. Fluid was dark but no metal and no sludge. For those of you with a 2014, it's not hard. Best on a lift though. Changed trans fluid at same time, $164 Cdn, Mercon of course...
  2. Hi all, I'm in Canada (BC) with a new to me 2014 Edge with 28k (km's). I have till March 2017 before the b2b warranty is up. My question, which I haven't really found a definitive answer to via forum reading, is this. My new dealer quoted me $3.5K Cdn for a 3 year 150,000 km Premium ESP "D code" (AWD). What I don't get is the warnings from others that a US dealer sold ESP is not valid in Canada. Has anyone in Canada bought a US dealer (Fleet etc) ESP and actually used it in Canada? I could call Ford Canada but who knows if the person on the other end is really being truthful or even knows... Any help on this and if it is ok to do, who did you use? Remember currently US dollar is about $1.30 Cdn so my Canada dealer price in US dollars is about $2,400. Thanks
  3. Sorry but the pics don't take even with flash, it was very evident what the fill plug was though... Hope this helps someone. I changed trans fluid as well, $160 Cdn, they thought I was kinda crazy with not even 30K but I wanted to see its condition... With a used car who knows how it was treated.
  4. Hi all, First post, new (to me) 2014 AWD Edge owner, 2 days old... I got quite nervous when I was reading up on my purchase about the TPU issues with visions of imminent failure to the tune of $2K plus swimming in my head... My 2014 had only 28,000 km's (appx 15K miles) on it. I had gotten it from a new Ford dealer near Vancouver BC. I returned to the Quick Lube service this morning and asked for the car to be put up on the lift to look at it. My TPU was very obvious and showed zero leakage to the seals, no drips or oil anywhere, thankfully. There was even a red painted fill plug on the left side of the TPU, which looked factory. I had the young tech siphon out the gear oil, it was black but looked like 75-140W consistency. We replaced with the Ford spec, $26.45 in fluid and $80 in labor. So for $106 (Cdn) I feel wayyyyy better about the TPU fluid condition and future service cost now. I asked the tech about other Edges having TPU issues, he acknowledged that he'd replaced a few seals and a TPU before, but not many. Course he was newer and only one of about 6 techs at the dealership. So did Ford do something different for the 2014's, (mine is a Feb 14 build) or am I just fortunate? Sorry no picture (I didn't think of taking one) but I may crawl underneath and try...
