Now I’m getting the P0012 code. I did buy 2 new VVT124 installed them and that when the P0012 code came on. Has anyone else have this issue. I don’t really want to just start replacing parts that aren’t needed. 

That's why we promote diagnostics, to avoid replacing parts that aren't needed.

 

What prompted you to replace the VVT124's ?

I applied voltage to them to test and they weren’t functioning so instead of taken them apart I figured buying news ones would be best.

I have a 2019 Ford Edge Eco boost. It's losing coolant, no obviously leaks no overheating. The heat also does not work, but Both heater core hoses get hot The oil is clean and there's no white smoke coming out of the Exhaust.

Do you have the Check Engine Light on?

 

The 2019 has a redesigned block and engine compared to the one that exhibits coolant intrusion. It could be related to the EGR cooler.

I've just experienced the coolant loss isue with my 2017 ford edge ecoboost at 61000 miles 

Anyone know else experiencing this? How are ford denying that this is an intrinsic defect.

Yep mine has also just gone, problem started at 61000, silly diagnostics and repairs that didn't address the issue, now being quoted a gasket change and potentially engine replacement

I  recall mine happened at roughly 65000 miles. If you have a 2017, that’s not gonna fix the problem you need to replace the engine with an engine from 2019 or later as it is a redesigned block. Unfortunately, due to the market of cars now back when I did it if I would’ve known the value of my car would drop to where it is now. Rough pill to swallow.
