My 2017 Sport has ACC and Lane Centering, but the Lane Centering is not tied into or linked to the ACC.

Ollie45  you might want to try an OEM Motorcraft product.

It sucks that one mile or one day out of warranty they can deny a claim. Whatever happened to good will? I think Ford is so overwhelmed with recalls and warranty claims that they are maxed out big time. 

We don't know what Model/Year Patrick Kopnicky  owns, could be a 15yo vehicle.

What's the warranty section of your owners manual say for the mileage/time limit.

"in the morning it shows that the outside temp is 87C" - get the intake air temperature sensor checked and replaced if needed - this will make cold starts harder.

Get the stored error codes read.

Even a cheap OBDII device with Forscan would work.

Mine has done something similar which was caused by the evap valve.

What are you using to scan for stored error codes? - I ask because I've found most readers unreliable with my Ford, and now rely on Forscan for that.

Welcome.

What Model and Year do you have?

Took about 1.5 hours to complete this morning.

All the old parts were in really good condition and the only real sign of deterioration was the idler bearing, it had expelled a little lubricant and felt just a little notchy.

There's no room to get a socket and breaker bar on the tensioner to retract it for removal and installation of the belt so resorted to two ratchet wrenches seen in one of the photos.

No doubt these components were good for another few thousand miles but I cant put a number to it, so given the choice again I'd change them at the same mileage, 103,000 mi.

The 275's would result in a ride height/circumference change that I wouldn't like, but would probably still work.

Bump

Mine has been faultless since June 2022.

Thanks @omar302

I decided to go with Motorcraft seeing as the existing components have been trouble free for so many years and miles, although I also have a lot of confidence in Gates.

The tensioner in that example uses an external hydraulic damper which I believe will extend the life of the tensioner assembly compared to ours with an internal friction type damper.

In the case of my wife's BMW it was the tensioner doing a jiggle that drew my attention to the need to replace these components, and the reports that when the belt goes on the BMW engine it typically trashes the crank main seal.

The failure mode that leads to the tensioner oscillation is a worn or contaminated (oil) friction damper - not a worn spring as many suggest.

A previous vehicle of mine used a flat friction disc whereas the BMW use a friction drum - you can see in the attached photo of the old tensioner that I tore apart.

The tensioner's bearing felt and sounds rough while the idler felt and sounded smooth.

Thanks - appreciate the practical tips.

Just done the same on my wife's BMW X5 and the Ford isn't going to be nearly as awkward.

Ordered all Motorcraft from RockAuto.com.

With 103K miles on my Sport I'm looking to replace the serpentine belt kit.

I'm leaning towards Motocraft or Gates - anyone know the best place to find a kit or should I just go with buying the three items (belt, tensioner and Idler) on RockAuto.com ?

@Haz  would you be able to help with more detailed instructions?

pulled up to a stoplight on the way home and the car died.  Tried to restart - it would crank but not start

 

thought it was the battery - replaced and tried to start again

 

tried to start (hear the starter hitting) but engine does nto turn over like before

 

worried that timing chain broke and bent valves

 

will get towed to the house - what is the easiest way to determined if salvageable? (scope for bent valves - pull cover inspect timing chain) - I would run compression test but wont turn over right now

 

JPJM

You say it "cranks" and then a few lines down "it does not turn over" - those are conflicting comments.

Pull the spark plugs and try turning it manually with a wrench on the crank.

If the "no crank" started with the new starter, then I'd take a very close look and compare the bendix gear to the old starter.

I guess your friend has learnt a life lesson never to buy a used vehicle that doesn't have a good service record.

The one in the link I posted has a "Timeout lock" so that the 3rd brake light behaves as if it doesn't have the flasher module if in traffic where the brake is used repeatedly - mine are set to flash rapidly three times then solid, and will not flash again if the brake is applied for the next 30 seconds.

You could replace the flashing unit with a less offensive higher quality device.

Search for YouTube videos for the installation of these flasher units and that will show you how to remove them and restore the wiring to original.

This is what I use.

102,091 miles and first rear brake pads replacement and second transmission fluid drain and fill.

Previous transmission drain and fill was at 46,175 miles.

Drain and filled  the transmission and new rear brake pads.

I went with Akebono brake pads that have the mechanical wear indicators, which the original pads did not, and if they had they'd have been screaming.

I used my Gerber multi-tool to turn the caliper pistons back in (clockwise), but will get a basic tool before the next pad change in 7 years.

Yes for the purge, doubtful for the rear solenoid. That's the one i might re-order. Ford and their fordy parts

 

Edit still no error codes.  Never a cel

What did you use for reading the stored error codes?

Edge Guide   any chance this issue could be addressed?

Hey, as from pictures from @Haz, my 2018 Ford Edge has similar layout as 2.7L model. All I did was, removing the loose middle clips on the side panels on both driver and passenger side and keep the good ones. And for the good ones I added double sided tape inbetween clips and frame to act as cushion and that worked for me. Driven 160 once and no rattle at all. Hope this helps

And what 2018 model is that?

Please add that to your profile signature - Settings - Ford Edge Forum

Uriah rios  why wouldn't you trust the service shop that you took the vehicle to?

There's a multitude of potential causes of hydro Lock, fuel, oil or coolant - a blown head gasket would allow coolant to fill the cylinders ......... but there's insufficient information provided for anyone here to make an informed suggestion, however the service shop has the benefit of inspecting the vehicle.

I have same issue on my2020 edge, however there are no plastic clips on my covers. There are only the stamped metal nuts along the edges. How can I eliminate the rattling? I thought about pool noodles slid between panels and bottom of car. Would this work?

They're recessed so unless you get right below them you might not see them - also possible that Ford made a change with your Model/Year - maybe @Haz can confirm.
