One would think fuel injector issue right away, right? But it could be a bad coil(s) also. See if the info in this thread helps: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17128-2008-ford-edge-se-error-code-p0171-p0201-p0301/ If it is a coil, doesn't seem like the situation has gone far enough yet to take a look at a faulty PCM possibility, but should keep that at the back of the mind. Could be timing/phasers also, but then some related code should pop up.

This thread might be of help to you: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/8329-07-sel-plus-awd-rear-bearinghub-replacement/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13874-rear-wheel-hubbearing-torque-specs/

An air filter can be just as "sound" a decision. I know the AEM DryFlow made a significant difference in that department.

When it comes to bearings, I too like Timken if they have a product available. Good luck, looking forward to how it works out for ya.

Healthy weight loss is a great thing, keep it up, mac!

Do you have the electronic dual zone climate control? If so, sounds like the Climate Control Module is done for. But sure, could be actuators, and yes there are two on the electronic version.

The hub & bearing are integrated assemblies on the Edge, but I suppose a good shop could swap out just the bearings.

I assume the cabin filter arrangement is the same for the 2015+. I'd check that first, see if maybe the filter is missing and something has gotten stuck in the blower fan. If you did experience a loss in power, it is worth taking off the engine appearance cover and carefully checking all the hoses to make sure none have come loose or in the process of. Could you tell if the sound was coming more from the driver or passenger side? Any problems with vermin in your area? They tend to like the more eco-friendly materials used nowadays in automobiles.

Welcome to the forum & to Edge ownership, Blk The 2.0EB is a great value, looking forward to how it performs for you! Pix?

Even with full price dealer parts (around $500), you are looking at labor charges for the majority of the quote. So I'd say find a reputable non-dealer servicer and get a better quote.

Welcome aboard, Jessica, glad you could find an Edge that suits you! Remote start can be a real blessing How about some pics of the new P&J?

Welcome to the forum, fairway19, congrats on the new ride! Luckily there are a lot of similarities between the Flex (non-EB, right?) & the Edge, though the engines are somewhat different (3.5 vs 3.7). Before & after pics of the Edge, please Looking forward to your "build"!

I think akirby called it on this one And ... back to enjoying the ride

We've had 1 or 2 members I believe who've had to have the axle replaced due to a faulty tone ring. Glad the Edge is back on the road & happy!

Might as well check the front brakes and bearings to see if anything's binding or worn out. Shouldn't slam into gear, but gearshifts will be more obvious when not on a level surface.

Just make it clear to the servicer that the fluid level in the new PTU (if that is what they do) is checked. The leak in this case could also be between the driveshaft & PTU seal, so that needs to be checked as well. The driveshaft bearings should be checked for play, and the driveshaft indexed if need be, especially if you experience any vibration/roughness while in DRIVE or REVERSE.

Congrats, Cellbine, enjoy!!!

That would be extremely frustrating, for sure! A transmission fluid type smell would possibly be the intermediate shaft seal leaking, a truly disgusting smell (PTU fluid) would be the PTU fluid venting. You'd need to check the fluid in the PTU to make sure the trans fluid is not leaking into it. Do you know the exact part number of the last replacement PTU unit? May not be the latest revision. Also, did you have the replacements done at the same service center/dealership? May want to change the place this time around. Each time the unit is replaced, the fill level MUST be correctly verified by the technician. Too easy to be low.

As an aside, why don't we have this Ford's Quickclear Windscreen Technology in the U.S. or Canada? How does Quickclear Windscreen Technology work?Ford Quickclear Windscreen technology operates in much the same way as your heated rear windscreen. Electrical conduits are present within the windscreen itself and once a current is passed through it, heat is generated which works to melt ice or snow and remove any steam or condensation that might be in place during adverse weather conditions. At the press of a button, your screen will be clear within a matter of minutes depending on what the obstruction is. A couple of reasons, maybe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickclear

It will be interesting to know if the Edge is indeed using a different AWD system mated to the 6F55 than the prev gen Edge or even the SHO/Flex/Explorer. Most likely a variation in programming rather than hardware, but I am all for a completely new setup that's smooth & reliable The torque vectoring could be dynamic a la the Focus RS: http://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=15334 Ford debuts AWD system with dynamic torque vectoring control in new Focus RSScott Collie February 3, 2015 5 PICTURES The Focus RS will be sold worldwide, unlike its predecessor Image Gallery (5 images) Developed in consultation with Ken Block, the third-gen Ford Focus RS combines a powerful 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with a new high-tech, dynamic torque vectoring all-wheel drive system that brings it into line with other high-performance hatches like the Audi RS3. It will also be the first RS to be sold in the US. At the heart of the new Focus RS is the 2.3-liter engine from the Mustang EcoBoost, albeit heavily modified for its role in Ford's hottest hatch. Whereas the Mustang's engine makes 310 hp (231 kW), Ford has used a new low-inertia, twin-scroll turbo and larger intercooler to boost power to "well in excess" of 315 hp (235 kW). The engine will also breathe more freely thanks to a big-bore exhaust system with an electronically controlled flap designed to minimize back pressure, while the engine's cylinder head has been upgraded to deal with the higher temperatures that the Focus' engine creates. A six-speed, short-shift manual gearbox puts the Focus' power down. According to Ford, the engine will combine "excellent low-end responsiveness" with "a powerful midrange pull" on the way to "a free revving top end", with a 6,800 rpm redline. Whether or not it will actually fulfill those claims remains to be seen, of course, although if the last two RS Focuses are anything to go by, the new car should be quick. Although the new RS may share its performance potential with its predecessors, one major aspect of the car has changed for 2015. Whereas previous RS models were front-wheel drive, Ford has fitted the latest Focus with a dynamic torque vectoring all-wheel drive system. Thanks to a pair of electronically controlled clutches on the rear axle, a maximum of 70 percent of the drive torque to be diverted there, 100 percent of which can be sent to either rear wheel. The system will send power to the outside wheel on turn-in, which Ford claims will "improve turn-in stability" and "virtually" eliminate understeer. It can also make adjustments mid-corner, shuffling power around to give the RS maximum grip in the bends, before shooting it off down the next straight. This high-tech handling setup carries with it the weight of expectation. You see, this Focus is the 30th car to carry the RS badge on its flanks, a badge that has graced legendary cars like the Escort RS Cosworth. According to Ford's President of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Jim Farley, the brand is "acutely aware" of the expectations that the badge carries, but is quick to reassure us that "this new car raises the game to a new level." Even if the driving experience doesn't end up quite matching expectations, there’s no doubt Ford has raised its game with the styling of the new RS. Up front, a massive central air intake feeds the car’s uprated 2.3-liter engine, while two outboard vents on the front bumper cool the brakes. At the rear, the diffuser is much larger than the one on the Focus ST, and the car’s rear wing wouldn’t look out of place on a WRC car. Rounding out the RS’s sportier appearance are 19-inch wheels finished in gloss black. Inside, drivers will plant their backsides on partial-leather Recaro sports seats and wrap their hands around a new flat-bottomed steering wheel featuring a leather-covered rim, while putting their feet down on alloy pedals. Ford has also added an extra bank of gauges above the center console that display turbocharger boost pressure, oil temperature and oil pressure. Ford's SYNC connectivity system is also on board, providing voice or touchscreen control of audio, navigation, climate control and mobile phones. A Sony 10-speaker (including subwoofer) sound system is available as an option, as is a rear view camera with park distance control. Unlike its predecessor, the new Focus RS will be sold around the world – including America. All-Wheel-Drive Ford Focus RS Makes 315-Plus HP From 2.3L EcoBoost The third-generation Ford Focus RS hatchback’s all-wheel drive system is a first for the model. The new setup is dubbed All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control and uses twin electronically controlled clutch packs on each side of the rear drive unit to manage the front-rear split as well as side-to-side torque vectoring on the rear axle. Vehicle sensor inputs including steering wheel angle, lateral acceleration, yaw, and speed are monitored 100 times per second to determine where to allocate power. Ford says the system can send up to 70 percent of torque to the rear axle and up to 100 percent of the rear torque to either wheel. The all-wheel drive system works in conjunction with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the brake-based Torque Vectoring Control system. Additionally, the suspension receives stiffer springs, bushings, and anti-roll bars as well as two-mode electronic dampers. The electric power steering system has also been reprogramed, while the front suspension features a more rigid knuckle and shorter-link arms.

Did you try touching the accelerator to see if the noise goes away (like akirby said)? If it does, it is likely the main process involved is the engine/transmission management. The noise part is what bothers me. Can be audible, but should not be LOUD. The PTU is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, and the right axle/halfshaft emerges from it, going out to the wheel. You will see a round plug with a square hole in the middle. That is what you need to take out to check fluid fill level & condition. The RDU is located pretty much dead center between the rear wheels at the rear end of the driveshaft, can't miss it. On this, the plug, I believe, faces the rear bumper, and is located on the bottom right quarter of the RDU cover, which has like 10 bolts holding it on. Check to make sure there are no leaks at/on the PTU/RDU. The PTU leaks can be from the vent (located atop the unit), from the mating surface between PTU and transmission, or from the axle emerging from the PTU. Rarely, it will leak where the PTU & driveshaft meet. The RDU leaks are usually from the vent or the pinion seal where the driveshaft & RDU meet (the yoke).

Well, at least the parts are available now, if not free as a preemptive measure.
