    Coolant Flush

    1004ron replied to RPGR90s's topic in Edge ST

    @NzP That's a whole lot of unnecessary work removing the thermostat. The typical home size compressor can provide the pressure but not the volume needed to displace the coolant residing in the engine block - I used a leak blower which was more successful but also cant remove all the coolant. Flushing with distilled water and then adding concentrate to account for the remaining distilled water in the block is a more effective option.

    You could use a drop shipping company. Buy from US ship to Germany | Free US Address

    @Cossie you could attempt to make a similar "baffle" from aluminum replication the white plastic one seen on the original pan. Also, what about running with a slightly higher oil level, like an additional 500ml? Are you using the original dipstick?

    @thesavo I hope your issue is resolved with the wheel bearing replacement. The symptoms you describe "thump,thump,thump,thump" aren't what I've encountered with a bad wheel bearing. Could it be that the typical early signs of whine/drone were there for a considerable time before the thumping noise?

    @thesavo I may have missed it, but did you confirm that the wheel bearing was bad once it was removed?

    No, there isn't.

    I feel your pain. It's understandable that a forum like this with free membership is reliant on income from ads, but there should be a balance. It is totally impossible to use this forum on a mobile device and expect that there's many like me that have given up trying.

    Welcome. The only suggestion I have is to use an auto-switching type of adapter instead of the elm327 manual switch adaptor. I recommend this: OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner

    Welcome. What's the mileage on your Edge and what type of issues have you encountered?

    @STBEAST I estimate that you have two or more years left on your original battery. My recommendation is to get a battery health tester or take it to a place like Autozone at least once a year to test the battery and that will give you advanced notice of when replacement is due before you experience a slow crank. Then search the forum for the option to upsize the battery and reset the BMS when a new battery is installed.

    @marekrbk thanks for you prompt reply. I got out my black&white hard copy and its virtually identical and can most certainly be used for the US version - I'll definitely be using this colour copy whenever I have the need - thanks. .

    Welcome and thank you for that. Do you think it's much the same as the US 2017? If not, is there any chance you could post the wiring schematics for the US 2017?

    Welcome. Try a search on one of these websites using your VIN and see what that specifies. https://www.ford.com/parts https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/

    You could look at the suggestions in the below thread, but it looks like you'll need a new APIM.

    @Wubster100 I think you missed that in the wall of text.
