If it is any consolation my Edge has performed flawlessly since the repair was performed. The technician said that on this engine the oil passages in the variable valve timing system are extremely small and all it takes is a tiny piece of debris to clog the passage and the valve timing goes wonky and you get a check engine light. The loud noise you have may be the water pump. After performing the initial repair I had a similar noise when engine was cold and the dealer had to go back in and replace the water pump.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem-

My 2008 Edge Ltd. AWD with 8,000 kms. began running rough and stalling followed by the check engine light coming on. Dealer checked the codes and after consulting with the tech line they were advised problem was in the variable valve timing. They had to remove the front engine cover and replace a cam phaser, pulley and solenoid. Total warranty time for job 20 hours!

After picking up the car it now makes a LOUD whining noise from front of engine until the engine warms up at which point noise goes away.-Dealer is now waiting for more parts to come in and will then repeat the teardown. -Troubling to say the least considering vehicle is only 6 month old with such low mileage. I would be interested to know if this is a fluke or a known issue with these engines?
