  1. Believe the FS100 was discontinued over 10 years ago. FS106 is the current one with holes.
  2. Ahhhh ...... yup. That would have been a good thing to mention during the original write up. 🤔
  3. Not on your gen. 1st gen lens is easily removed. On 2nd gen i understood it was glued on, near impossible to take off. (Which is why they fall off.) <cough>
  4. I have an aspirated 3.5. 7.5k is the recommended interval, although I usually add a quart around 6k miles.
  5. Your 2020 model year 2.0L is of the new design and should be immune to the head gasket failure. But the engine still has to overcome carbon build-up, turbocharger issues, spark plug & coil failures.
  6. Those intermittent errors are a usually a bad connection or near break in wiring. Did they trace the wiring to the bank 1 Sensor 2? I'd look for a weak ground in the wiring that intermittently opens. The P0137 is the sensors heater isn't getting voltage. Hook a voltmeter to the O2 connector's heater wire, (both + and ground) and work backwards, wiggling the wire while watching where the voltage falls off.
  7. Ah ha, so you're the one. They've been searching for you. Now that you've surfaced, prepare to be rounded up and taken to a MAGA re-education facility. Its located in South America. You'll love it, warm year round, every day is a holiday, every meal a banquet. Soon you'll be one of us, walking around with a stupid smile on your face, ketchup stains on your t-shirt, repeating over and over "I know nuth-ing."
  8. It triggers SSS system. (Subframe Severance System.) The separated subframe then is directed to find its way back to the production plant. This occurs no matter where on Earth it is when triggered. Its purpose to require the owner to junk their vehicle and purchase a new one. Oh wait. I was thinking of a Tesa. My bad.
  9. I use the dealer as well. What I use for a schedule is: • Oil (at 7.5k) • Power steering (40k) • Brake (30 - 60 k depending on environment) • Transmission (60 k) • PTU (30k) • Coolant (30k) • RDU (90k or after anytime car driven through deep water) • Can of fuel injection & system cleaner (1-2× year) In addition, don't forget to check: the air cleaner (30k), the cabin filter (every 6 mos), seat filters (if you have heated/cooled seats) (annually), fuel filter (150k) and air pressure in spare tire (every 6 mos).
  10. When you say expelled, did you mean gone, or it dumped out on the ground?
  11. Probably the outside temperature sensor failed. It's located behind the front bumper, closer to the passenger side.
  12. I also wipe my wiper blades with an alcohol wipe to clean the dirt off the blade, then wipe with with 303.
  13. I use 303 Protectant on rubber parts exposed to the sun. Use silicone spray on the BAMR moving parts. Believe 303 is a better product for high sun locations. (Very highly rated.) https://a.co/d/2C32Ku5
  14. The lens itself isn't available for your year (only Gen 1 lens available.) If I were you, I'd buy a Dorman off Ebay (make offer for $80), pop off the lens and glue that sucker to your existing light.
  15. Passenger rear: easy checks — rear mud flaps, air shields under car lost a fasrener or two. Sounds like a piece of tape or paper. I'd also look at the right rear dust shield on the rear brake. Best thing to try is what @STBEAST wrote. Have someone else drive and crawl around the backseat and rear compartment, while finding where should is loudest. There was a guy on YouTube who used wireless, magnetic mount microphones in various locations. Allowed him to quickly work down where the sound was loudest.
  16. These two videos are not exactly how to replace weatherstripping, but do show how to get into the inside of the aasy
  17. The fact that you have an illustrated parts breakdown avaliable and are having difficulty identifying the exact problem could mean you're out of you level of expertise. (I certainly would be.) The sunroof is a large, heavy complicated assembly. Personally I've worked on my 09 MKX and was able to replace the accordion seals, but that's childs play compared to what you're trying to accomplish. What I would do is drop by the local Ford dealership and ask them for their opinion. (Ask to speak only with the service manager.) I strongly suspect that they wouldn't consider repairing the assy, but the probably call in an outside vendor for the repair. If they can identify the actual weatherstripping that's failing, ask for a quote to repair. Its probably going to be six or seven hundred as the assy has to be torn apart. If they don't repair these assys, ask who they recommend that can do it. (It's important that you ask for the service manager for this, the guys at the front desk are not mechanics, just there to schedule and upsell the clients.) I'll look for a YouTube video on taking the roof apart, I remember watching in the past. Ill post the link in a separate message.
  18. Did you make any modifications to your car? All of these lights have a common feed.
  19. Not certain as to how to adjust, I would imagine that there should have an adjustment somewhere. Fogs are aimed differently than the main driving lights. Fogs purpose is to illuminate just the edge of the road. Theory is, in heavy for, snow or rain, you're going to be driving slow. 10 mph slow. The main purpose is to show you where the edge of the road is, not to illuminate to road in front (which you can see anyway.) Because of this, I can see why one light may be aimed lower than the other. Best way to tell is to flip them one and judge if they're lighting the road edge adequately.
  20. Personally I'd go to the dealership. Costs more, but they do the job right and guarantee the results. Plus, get a Carlite windshield and not an aftermarket.
  21. Or our VA benefits.....!
  22. As an alternative, and the seals aren't too bad, could always try 303 seal rejuvenater on them. https://www.overtons.com/303-rubber-seal-protectant-3.4-oz.-320858.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={Campaign}&cq_cmp=22321557994&cq_con=181735643968&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_plt=gp&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtJ6_BhDWARIsAGanmKfYMpnjrb-AMJwEfuC3HIv6fCTyw5FnBzjvnfwY35Sw4_qyW0f4fa4aAoIbEALw_wcB
