DaMiFo Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi everyone, I figured it's probably time I introduce myself around here after being on (just reading) these forums for a while. My family has owned a couple Edge's, but for the first time ever I finally own my own! As of this weekend, I am the proud owner of a 2014 Edge Sport in Ingot Silver Metallic! It's got a good amount of miles on it, but it's incredibly clean inside and out, and has a perfect maintenance history as it was owned by a family friend of the dealership owner (no, its not just a ploy, as my the sales guy was a friend of mine). My quick back story is that I'm a long-time Ford owner from a Ford-owning (mostly) family. My Edge is replacing my 2010 Focus SES, which was unfortunately deemed a total loss two weeks ago with 157,000 miles on it because some kid rear-ended me while he was on his phone. My other vehicle is a 2017 Fusion Sport that I ordered new once the order banks opened in 2016, but that stays garaged unless the weather is clear. Hopefully I can bring some of my FORScan and UCDS knowledge over here, as I'm very active over at 2GFusions and the Fusion Sport Forums. Among many mods, I successfully did the MKZ/Mondeo instrument cluster swap on my Fusion last year. Also, I already have the SYNC 3 hardware for my Edge on order - it won't be easy going back to MFT for two weeks, haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Welcome and congrats on the new ride! Sorry about your Focus, tho Regardless of maintenance history, if you have an AWD Edge, PTU/RDU fluids should be R&R'd at the earliest. This goes double for the 2017 F Sport, too little fluid in a very compact unit. Hope you enjoy the Edge for a LONG time to come! 6 years have come and gone for me already LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk2fast Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Hello DaMiFo, good to hear from someone with FORScan & UCDS knowledge here on the Edge forum. Looking forward to acquiring a Ford Edge in a few months or so. Congrats on the Edge! Edited August 6, 2018 by tk2fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Mine is AWD - In the past I've replaced it every 25-30k mi or so. The Fusion is only at 17k. The Edge actually just had the PTU fluid changed, and the RDU is getting replaced next week (it was making a whining noise on my overnight test drive, covered under extended warranty, thankfully). I love FoMoCo, but I'll admit it's their weak point, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Suprising the RDU failed before the PTU, but good to get a fresh start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
