eagleeye 11

I have had the coolant flushed and renewed and I do like knowing that it has been changed.

I appreciate the the feedback because this vehicle is new to me and I certainly like to learn.

Thanks guys.

I apoligize for the wrong section but can you educate me on why it's imperative to change coolant with 38k km ?

10/4. Thanks

Have a ugly noise when closing or opening front doors. Its not the main hinges

but the plastic arm in the middle of the door. Makes an embarrassing noise.

Are there any rollers that slide on this plastic arm ? Tried lubricating but made

the noise worse. Help plz. Not sure what to do

Thanks Ron

I'm new here and will take that schedule to the bank. I'm anal about having clean fluids at all times and has

served me well with not having big repairs in all my vehicles and off road vehicles. Long run this is cost effective.

I am a huge Amsoil fan and hope that their fluids will be good for the Edge.

Thanks enigma-2 and Chefduane

Thanks for the replies. I will get these items right away.

I will Thanks

The Premiumcare is worth it so I will take your advice and purchase. This still can be purchased on a 13 ?

I am a mechanic but I just don't now this car.

I really appreciate all your help guys/gals.

That is what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch !

Had this 13 only a week. It has 38,101 km so I will get the coolant done now and will check with the dealers around here

on the PTU change.

Excuse my ignorance but RDU....Rear Dif ?

Since you just got the vehicle, change BOTH PTU and RDU fluids. If dealer won't do it, find a good trans shop to work with. No drain plugs, but a shop can easily use the fill plugs instead. in the case of the RDU, if they wanted, they can actually remove the cover, clean out the RDU completely, seal it back up and refill.

 

Replace all other fluids as well. A known good starting point is essential for longevity. Coolant, brake, power steering (if not electric), transmission fluid, etc.

 

If you are not a DIY'r, assess the need for extended warranty, buy a Ford Protect one, I like the Premiumcare, it has been invaluable on my 07, and will be with all the electronics on your 2013.

Good Day

I just purchased a new to me 13 Awd. Is there any maintenance that I should be doing to the awd system?

I just don't know much about this vehicle and would take any feedback or instructions.

Thanks Ron

Hi, new to the forum and new to the Edge. I would like to ask if there is any issues with not having any

protection around the wheel well lip ? I see other vehicles that have plastic protection around the wheel well. It seems that

having just exposed paint that it would chip or start to peel. Is there any oem or aftermarket protection that I could purchase

to add protection to this area ? Should I buy Bug guard, front mud flaps, and rear tail lift protection (vinyl I believe adhered on top

of the bumper for scratching) from the dealer ?

Sorry for the long winded....lol

Just purchased a new to me 2013 Edge Ltd Awd. Really looking forward to asking experienced owner's a few

questions but first of all thanks for letting me be apart of this forum.
