    Depends, when filling up do you top-off,....if so then the canister and purge valve could fail prematurely.

     

    What code reader are you using?

    still no codes

    What code reader/app are you using?

    Seen in YouTube video where mechanic used a either 14.5mm or 15.5mm, 1/2" drive sockets on chrome-capped nuts. Worked perfectly. Think Amazon carries  them

     

    Not sure what to make of this - are you referring to the stud size?

     

    I use a 21mm six-sided deep socket and my original style lug nuts are in perfect condition - not long ago Discount Tire installed a tires and unlike my local Ford dealership they did not use an impact wrench to remove or tighten the lug nuts.

    I've been planning to repaint the black part of my Sports tips using satin black, but now after seeing yours I'm going to paint the entire thing black.

     

     

    About two years later I got this done - I also painted the chrome part black.

     

    Used the satin black with satin clear coat.

    I have been getting the P0456 code after erasing it a few times. It has been running rough upon acceleration. I cleaned the fuel inlet area, Filled a few tanks with high octane fuel and used a few cans of Sea Foam. Still chugging upon acceleration. My next course is the canister purge valve. I've seen on this group that the purge valve is location near the rear axle, however not true. It looks like it's under the air filter box. Any suggestions on a fix? 

    2020 Ford Edge SEL  2.0 Turbo

    The symptoms associated with P0456 is rough idle, with no other performance issues, so the rough acceleration is something else.

     

    When I replaced my evap purge valve on my 2.7L the service manager mentioned that the code is most often resolved with the replacement of this valve, but a very limited number have needed to replace the canister vent vale near the rear axle.

    The P0456 points to the evap purge valve typically mounted close to or on top of the engine, as is the case with my 2.7L, but could also be the canister vent valve or poor sealing gas cap.

     

    How's the coolant level - losing any coolant?

     

    Maybe @Haz can help with more info.

     However if you have the 2.0l and it's collapsed the is a chance of debris from the cat ending up in the turbo and taking out the turbo.

    Is that possible? - the turbo is upstream of the CAT in the exhaust gas flow path.

  6. It’s apparent that you didn’t take it to a reputable  mechanic - the first thing that should have been done on finding an issue with the timing and before going ahead with the replacement of the timing components, would be to assess the consequential damage knowing that this is an interference engine.

     

    Throwing more parts at it isn’t going to help - you need to consider a replacement engine.

    I have a 2021 Ford Edge ST, and when going on a road trip will get a sensor failure fault about every 30 minutes. It usually resets withing 30 minutes from the time of the fault. I have taken it to the dealer the last three oil changes, and they perform the diagnostic test, but because they cannot replicate the failure they have not been able to fix the problem. Failure to replicate the problem I believe may also prevent them from just replacing the sensor, the concern being Ford will not compensate them.  The car is still in warranty with 30,000 miles. The problem occurs only after driving for about an hour at highway speeds. It is the same wheel which move from front left, to rear left because of tire rotation. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or has any suggestions?   

    Take a photo of the fault indication and show it to the service manager - the service manager can report it as a failure without mentioning that its intermittent - if its the dealership where you bought it they'll be more inclined to help get it passed by Corp.

    OK guys, current status: I checked the parking brake pads and the piston movements. The pads look almost like new, no difference in thickness to new ones. The pistons in the calipers move nicely, everything seems to be in ship-shape. So I closed everything again. The squeal is still there, louder than ever!

    Would be good to get photos of your installation.

     

    Does yours have separate pads for the parking brake, not shoes like the above YT video ?

     

    If its pads squealing I would put a small bevel/chamfer  on the leading and trailing edge of the pads.

  9. Welcome.

     

    I haven't seen any other posts with oil consumption issues in the 2.7TT which leads me to believe that its not a common problem.

     

    Do you have an extended warranty? - if so take it in for an official oil consumption test, and depending the outcome they should cover the repairs or replacement engine.

     

    Asl check the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve and make sure its not allowing oil to be fed into the intake, if that's good then do a compression and leak-down test.

     

    I use a Catch-Can and it will alert me to any malfunction with the PCV system.

    But my question is:

    Will this crack get bigger and cause the performance and drivability to worsen?

    Welcome and sorry to hear of your predicament.

     

    Yes, most certainly - just can't predict at what rate it will worsen.

     

    My friend used a reputable independent and a Ford re-manufactured engine - cant recall the amount but it was less that $8K.

     

    Have you been in touch with Ford Corp.?
