Hi guys, how are you?
I have a problem on my edge 2011 limited 3.5 v6 with around 46k miles and I don't know what else it might be. Let me tell you what happened first. I was driving my edge at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour. After about 20 minutes of travel, the air conditioning started not working. I stopped at the mac donalds drive-thru to buy food and spent about 5 minutes with the car running. suddenly the car temperature alarm appeared. At the same moment the alarm appeared, I looked at the hood of the car and saw smoke. It wasn't actually smoke, it was the coolant that was evaporating. I quickly turned off the car and left the hood open.
So I called the trailer and took it to mechanics. But they aren't getting the diagnosis right, and I can't get my car out of there either. I've already changed everything that I thought it was and that I managed to research it. First he told me it was the thermostatic valve. I changed it, took advantage of it and changed the fan module too. I put in an excellent coolant. 10 liters of motul optimal auto cool plus 1 liter of mocool additive. The mechanic took it to test, the car gave the same problem. Said it was the fan motor this time. I exchanged the 2 fans, ford only sells the entire part. This time the car went longer, about 30 minutes or so. And when there was some traffic, the same thing happened again. It heats up all at once, it's very fast. Does anyone have any idea what else it might be? Thank you in advance for your help!
