Here's my Edge replacement ...

Hello, my plan is to change from a 2011 Edge to a 2014 Raptor, but my wife requested to sell the Edge first. :-) So here I am ... Please review the original window sticker. (Ford Edge Sport AWD - Rene Seiler.pdf) You could also see some pictures here: http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=221433894&scopeId=C&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=9000&makeModelVariant1.modelId=48&pageNumber=1&ticket=ST-4889182-JcZqetnFxasb21QeHXtg-mycas47-3_c01_4201 As I already mentioned, the car is currently located in Greater Area of Munich, Germany and has 84.000 miles on the clock. It comes with the original 22" wheels and original 18" Edge wheel with winter tires. I also add a couple of parts like oil filters, air filters, workshop manuals, lamps etc. The price will be 24k EUR. Thanks, Rene

it covers almost all european countries

Hello, I bought a "Sync2 Navigation SD" today. This SD card works in the EUR version of Focus and Fusion (Mondeo) and is sold by German Ford dealers. It also works in my 2011 Ford Edge Sport with the latest version of MFT. The part number of the card is 5358794. I had to pay 266 EUR (305 USD). Best regards, Rene

Hello, I have to deal with the P0456. The 2011 Edge workshop manual doesn't help at all. What should I do to find the leak? Is there any procedure to follow? What kind of tools should I use? I am living in Germany and I have to order any tool needed to find and fix the leak by myself. I already checked the gas cap and had a look below the car..... the guys from the workshop next door would pressurize the system to find the leak, but we do not have the right tools and we do not know the max pressure we can use without damaging the system. Thank you for any advise, Rene

Yesterday a BMW I8 test vehicle passed me on the "Autobahn" (equivalent to US interstate). I chased it to downtown Munich. Thx to the 3.7 v6 :-) The new BMW i8 looks amazing.

Hello, I had the same issue. After replacing my front brake discs and pads the warning disappeared. I recommend to check your brakes and replace parts if needed. Best regards, Rene

the new one looks like an Audi Q5 :-( if I want to drive a diesel - I call a taxi :-)

Hello, here's my result after 70.000km (43.500mil): average: 12l/100km (19.6mpg) - 30% city at 55km/h (34mph) and 70% hwy at 120km/h (75mph) worst: 17l/100km (13.8mpg) - 7 hours pedal to the metal ride best: 8l/100km (29.4mpg) - cruising at 90km/h (56mph) over German Autobahn (interstate) 2011 Ford Edge Sport AWD

18" winter wheels with pirelli tires sporty enough?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a SVT Raptor? (..and pay for the gas)

got 27.35mpg (=8.6l/100km)

Hello, currently I am preparing the next service check for my 2011 Sport AWD. The Ford website mentioned "MEMO: Gas engine; From 5.1 to 6.0 quarts of oil (IOLM)" for the 40k service. What does it mean? Thank you, Rene

It was a tiny local garage. I provide all needed parts and they just do the work. The two guys are not familiar with US cars. I don't think that they own that good tool you mentioned. It's still a miracle to me, but now even my sensor training tool (with the red led) works perfectly.

Thank you for the link to the video. That's nice. I agree with Cellbine, 2k EUR is to expensive. Ford announced to bring the Edge to Europe soon. I hope Ford will introduce MFT as well. At this time they will provide sd cards with euro maps. Best regrads from Munich Rene

I started at 9pm at Hamburg Airport (North Germany) and finished my ride at Munich Airport at 4am (South Germany). There where a couple of speed limits (75mph), but the majority of that trip was without any speed limit. :-) It was that route: https://www.google.com/maps?saddr=Flughafen+M%C3%BCnchen,+Flughafen+M%C3%BCnchen,+Nordallee+25,+85356+M%C3%BCnchen-Flughafen,+Deutschland&daddr=49.7888917,10.1723502+to:Hamburg+Airport,+Flughafen+Hamburg+GmbH,+22335+Hamburg,+Deutschland&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=50.986099,10.942383&spn=9.24494,23.181152&sll=50.993268,10.897958&sspn=9.242198,23.181152&geocode=FYvh4QId8uezAClFbdojWROeRzFLz1Y6hXrF4w%3BFdu39wIdvjebACnLVvaFcGKiRzGVyG42zbefLA%3BFTJjMgMdOa2YACEkWCccMyZGcylXps8cZIixRzEkWCccMyZGcw&mra=pd&t=m&z=6&via=1

I got 13.8 MPG while driving 7 hours on a German Autobahn at 110mph.

yep, my paint shop noticed the same issue while fixing some scratches. I don't mind. I love my Edge anyway. Best Regards from Germany Rene

excellent how-to! many thx.

Problem solved after replacing front brake discs and pads: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12793-new-discs-and-pads-unexpected-side-effect/ I don't know why.....

Hello, today my front discs and pads were replaced. When I picked up my Edge I noticed that the TPMS sensor is no longer reporting any malfunction. Does the TPMS warning light indicates anything related to the brake system? I didn't find anything in the manual (rev3). Before my discs and pads were replaced I had trouble to train my sensors. See this topic: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12560-tpms-sensor-training-ia/ I gave up and check the tire pressure every weekend. Finally everything is fine, but I don't know why. Best regards, Rene

contact pirelli. they will tell you.
