07 MKX

was yours a red one?

This is probably what will happen once he takes it to the dealer

At this point, I will keep your Edge in my prayers. Hopefully it will pull thru. Most of the edge's have been extremely strong from birth, I'm sure yours is too.

Wait, see if the dealer makes house calls. some doctors still do, maybe this dealer's service department does that. IF it's like the red ones, then he probably shouldn't make the attempt to take it to a dealer. That could very well spell the death of it right there.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh., another one of those "You had me at hello" type of things

Now were onto something. The newer applied science's of acoustic determination and diagnosis, would lead one to wonder if you actually are making the diagnosis while sitting in the vehicle or outside. IF in, then you need to know a speed and direction. Ex. Your traveling at 60 mph. and all 4 windows are down. you hear a squeaking noise coming from the passenger rear window. Not a High whining squeaking noise but a low deep squeaking noise. Your first impression might be that the sound is coming from the back. Wrong, the most likely cause is that it's actually coming from the front. From the front right wheel. From the front right wheel shock absorber to be precise. Why, you may ask. Yes, you may. The noise is actually an inverse of the proportionally of the air waves being set up and the interaction of humidity. Since your slicing thru the vacuum of air. Sound has not yet hit an air molecule. By the time you have transversed the space between the time the sound vibration was first appolusalted and the time it thought about traveling thru the snow to grandmother's house we go. you have passed that space and thusly to your spacial perceptions, you thought it was coming from the back.

The dealer will just lead him around and try to confuse him with psychobabble. Here it gets a shot at some real experts. Do you remember the time of day the Deep vibrating throaty sound started and which way the vehicle was pointed when the sounds started erupting? Deep Vibration throaty sound...... hummm.. like a Loren Hutton type? or a Betty Grable type? The answer has to lie in the exact type of Deep vibrating throaty sound.

"makes the same wining noise, but it doesn't have the deep revving noise" This is what's really baffling me. The wining noise without the deep revving noise. I can see the deep revving noise but with the wining noise or the wining noise with the deep revving noise, but not the wining noise and no deep revving noise. Conversely no wining noise and no deep revving noise would be just as bad as a wining noise without the deep revving noise.

hummm, Then this is really going to be tricky to diagnose this online. However, you definitely came the the best place to get help. First, as an introductory diagnosis, there shouldn't be a large charge until we can pinpoint the exact gremlin down. Just about everyone here knows of the awful problems the red ones have had. Lets just start with the "loud deep revving noise when accelerating", then we can move onto the wining noise later. Was this a deep sound, like a foghorn on a ship lost in deep fog in the S.F. bay area? Or a deep sound like the washing machine would make when you've overloaded it? Then again, was it a deep sound or a reallllly deeeep sound? Do you think you might know the Octave it was making? I'm just trying to get a little more information to make an informed determination, before we submit the vehicle to our chief surgeon's.

would it have been a red one?

Without many words, pictures say more.. THANK YOU: To all past, present and future, for what I have today.....

Honestly, if you get the wheel replaced, you'd be like the first person in history that ever got it covered. What they will tell you is, that if the wheel was damaged beyond repair due to hitting a tree limb, etc. to the point that the wheel integrity or function was compromised, then the warranty will kick in. Bent Wheel, Lip not holding air, enlarged bolt clearance holes. What you have is cosmetic damage.

Ok, great news... I found the answer

That is a question you need to research on the internet. How would we know? I know this, my Sat. Reciever will NOT pick up XM. so I guess I'll just be SOL.

GET THE DODGE

Get the Dodge, you'll never be satified

Nothing at all wrong with Mother's product's. But you have no sealant or wax their. Your best sealant's are polymer types.. and you just really can't beat a carnauba wax on top of those. The spray wax is just a diluted form of wax, won't last 1/2 as long as a hand rubbed application. Their are other threads on this topic. Use the search function here and Google to view the topic. Since their are so many products, you will find a lot of people swear by the brand they use.

Robert!!!!! The gallery is now messed up. Page 2 won't display, so you can't see anyone's pics from D - N

Follow the instructions, their is a button on the garage door opener motor housing, you have to push and you have 30 seconds to program the homelink.

I' am going to say that the original problem WAS condensate on this. It seems that the A/C unit's tend to dump the water after the vehicle is turned off. I've noticed a lot of water on my garage floor/ parking spots and it tends to make you worry. More so that previous generation's of Condensers. IF it had even a slight taste that would be the G-5 anti-freeze coolant. Brake fluid would have been clear oily. Power steering red. Oil is oil. And that should show tracing's down the block.. Throw some dirt/dust on the block to make it highlight more. The original poster didn't return a follow-up report. so it's speculation at this point.

I will chime in here. I have this in the MKX and also an '00 Exploder. I added an aftermarket mirror to an '05 Escape, just to get it. Great option. The Exploder has a voice recorder built into that one also. Good for capturing a policeman's remarks during a traffic stop. One thing I did 2 days after I got my MKX was, I started pulling on the seat belt warning tag on the visor, (Despise the look of them) and I had about 1 inch of the corner off the fabric, and saw how it looked like I was making a worse mess. Well that isn't a sticky adhesive. I couldn't put it back up. So it HAD to come off. Ripppppppppppp and off it went. Now I was left with some white sticking to the fabric. Turns out it's an iron-on. Luckily goo-gone and a lot of rubbing cleaned everything off/up. Now I'm eyeing the passenger side, but I want a professional heat-gun to use on it to see if that softens it up, before I rippppppppp that one off.

Interesting,, I've dealt with AL. Casting's now for quite a number of years. Porosity was a problem in the late 70's/early 80's. Up until the 90's loctite was used to seal the machined casting's. IF you were having a problem now from porosity, it might show in your power steering other than an engine block. Could you return to the shop and take detailed pic's and post them here? Warranty costs are down across the board for Ford, so it seems the easiest answer is to just replace a problem now to keep the customer happy, and they will look into it later. My honest opinion, I do not see how a block could weep oil. But anything IS possible. As I read your comments "they had pulled the intake manifold off and discovered that the leak was from the top of the motor and had dripped down to the bottom near the oil filter." <- Sounded like Coolant and a possible head / intake gasket problem. Still sound's like a head gasket problem would allow oil to leak from the top down like that. Your under their mercy here, best to just pray that the new engine fixes your problem. Sorry to hear this.

Vintage comes to mind.
