    Coolant Flush

    That is definitely not the way to go. There is no one coolant for all cars. As @1004ron suggested, is the best way to go. Drain/fill with distilled water several times until you have mostly distilled water, then drain and fill with concentrated coolant. Depending on you engine, fill half the coolant capacity with concentrate. Between drain/refill cycles, make sure to run the engine until it warms up to ensure complete mix.
  2. The issue used to be because the original pan and even several OEM updated versions depended on RTV gaskets that required extensive cleaning from possible contaminants and long cure/drying time that would eventually leak. Making an official fix unreliable. Ford later did come up with a Oil Pan with a press in gasket (instead of the RTV), so the official (latest) fix should be a good one with no need to look aftermarket, in my opinion. The fix differs between model years, for the 2015-2017 models is under TSB 24-2345 (link to details).
  3. I found a thread in Facebook of a similar issue. Seems the common issue is the aluminum oil pan. https://www.facebook.com/groups/fordedgeforum/posts/2749362808595155/
  4. I am having brake squeaks (groans?) at very slow speeds, like when trying to creep or at the end of brake just when coming to a complete stop or when releasing the brakes slowly. I was thinking that the slide pins needed lubrication as I don't recall my mechanic doing so. Did the lubing cure the noises for you?
  5. From the photos of the oil pump, it doesn't seem there is any such tube. Only a gasket in the pump that should go over the pick up tube. Link to the oil pump.
  6. There was several years back, but when the forum moved to a new server and with the new layout we lost the paid quirks.
  7. +1 I am not able to see what it picks up. The hole seems closed off and as if it can't suck any oil!! Also, as there is an oil pressure sensor, the engine output is probably being cut when pressure is dropping. And on S being earlier is probably because it doesn't upshift to 6th and engine speed is staying at a higher RPM longer compared to D where it would upshift to 6th.
  8. On my 2016 Sport it was due to the front CV half shaft.
  9. +1 Also, as the design changed between 2015-2017 compared to newer models, does it have the correct check valve for the PCV.
  10. It is not a common part to replace, so you'll it'll be hard to find someone with a similar experience. The labor involved is a bit intensive and required removing the headliner. Also the glass is not manufactured anymore, especially with it being a nearly 10byear old vehicle. Furthermore, you seem to be in UK, so the Edge is a rare vehicle.

  11. It's been sometime now and I don't remember if this was suggested before, but have you considered they might be coming from the tires? Maybe try rotating them to see if it changes the noise? If recall correctly, with bad bearings the noises would change on turns when the loads on them shift.
  12. You are in Saudi Arabia, prices for OEM Ford parts are already very good compared to USA. Also, for the fan, a lot of previous posts showed bad experience with non-OEM fans. It is highly recommended to buy OEM fans only. For online shopping and shipping, several places offer it, such as RockAuto, Amazon and ebay. You can also use Shopandship to buy locally in USA and then have Aramex ship it to you.
  13. It would be too coincidental to have both fob's batteries to die at the same time. Also, if it were a battery issue I think the keyless entry (using the door handle) shouldn't work. I'd think you have another issue, I would recommend that you disconnect the car's battery for ~ 10 minutes to reset the electronics and see if it fixes the issue.
  14. @Summers22 Glad it eventually worked as you wanted. And yes, I have seen cases were ABD doesn't write or gives errors. Check what are the current values to confirm if the values were written fully or not.
  15. It is confusing, they are using the same photo and diagram for both types of headlights, but they are different and the higher level (more expensive, ~$1700 vs ~$800). You can see photo of used one on eBay like the below. The higher level does not have a socket for the turn signal. Higher level: Lower level:
