Just wanted to say hello. New to the forum and new to owning an Edge. Just purchased a 2014 Edge Sport AWD with 22k miles. Excited to learn more.

 

Previous owner did not disclose tire leak (plug) so got to purchase new tires already. Also purchased wheels. Will post a pic when installed.

New wheels and all fluids flushed. Now to get er detailed and sell the old wheels...or get them powdercoated all black...hmmmm.

Nice color.  What is it called?  I'm also living in Arizona, but tired of the summer heat and want to move to the Oregon coast.  Just got to get the wife on board.  ?

Yes sir, ran 12,2@115.19

?

Ok, I do not want to violate forum rules, so will open a new PTU thread but not sure where.  Any suggestions?

 I hope we can continue the conversation.

I just purchased a new to me used 2014 Edge Sport AWD.  Had to replace tires and also bought nee wheels.  Did i make a mistake going with the 22s?  It looks like a lot of people going to 20s.  That also increases options for wheels and tires.  

Did I screw up?

Congrats and welcome to the forum! She's super clean with low miles. Change the PTU and coolant fluid post haste!  She will provide you years of service!

Thanks, onyxbfly! Was actually just thinking about doing a full fluid flush.  Never did a PTU...have also read about adding a cooler kit to the PTU? I wish I'd have seen this issue before. It sounds like a design flaw.

From one Arizona resident to another, welcome to the Ford Edge Forum!

You'll probably be getting offers for those Sport wheels after you've replaced them.  They seem to be very popular (maybe among owners wanting their non sport models to look like one).
Too bad about the tires.  Usually any tire that can be repaired with a plug can also be fixed with an internal patch and will have normal tire life after that. 

 

Thanks Gadgetjq!  I am fairly new to AZ (third year) as well as being new to this forum. 

The wheels had the typical peeling/flaking clear coat and if course curb rash do to the low pro tires.  I just couldn't put new tires on those wheels. Of course, may get different wheels later, but we will see. I was considering having them refinished, but maybe selling them is not a bad idea to mitigate some of the unexpected cost of the tires!

As I understand it, a patch/plug combination is the real way to successfully repair the puncture per the TIA.

This one was located on the shoulder and is not considered reparable by a conscientious shop.

I look forward to learning a lot here!
