Here's a photo - I'll try find a better one. It gets in the way of the fill plug, so I unplug it when filling. The brass device is the temp sensor.

When I turned on the ignition after I did a lube service, which included the PTU, I got this warning light, .......... because I forgot to connect the PTU temperature sensor.

Just got a call from my dealership that the replacement has been approved, its ordered, and once it arrives we'll schedule a time and date for the +- 1.5 hour install while I wait.

Had mine at the dealerships collision centre, same place that installed the new one on the passenger side early last year - he took photos and will get back to me when he hears back from Ford Corp.

Not easy to capture with a cell phone. Trying to see if this is a common issue or not. Concern is that the electrics/electronics would be corroded.

Do you have water trapped in front signature lights? Last year my passenger side signature light was replaced under warranty because it had water trapped in the lens, now my drivers side has the same issue. The passenger side is still good. I'm at 33K miles and 21 months, so intend get it to my dealership to start the process of replacement, but just wondered if others are experiencing this.

The only thing that I'm not happy with on my 2017 Sports is the backrest heating and cooling that does not work and Ford haven't resolved. It's so good that's the only gripe I have, and its minor.

After my front bumper was stripped down and repainted, I've not had any other issues. I work at a coal fired power plant and the acid rain has badly marked the horizontal surfaces, but surprisingly it hasn't had any impact on the front bumper, and my black Harley Nightrain paint is also unaffected.

Not as widespread as your paint defects, but you can view mine here:

If you're feeling kind, you could let the dealership manager know that you expect appropriate action on their part, such as dismissal of the mechanic, or you'll be taking it as high as you can go with Ford Corp. This mechanic/dealership are likely skipping safety related service items.

OK, I meant 80W90 for the RDU, not 75W140 as @jmr061 and the invoice/receipt states.

My Edge owners manual specifies 75W90 and I assumed it was the same grade for the 2008 Edge RDU.

If that mechanic is still employed there next week, it suggests that the dealership condones that type of deceit and theft. Agree with the others, contact Ford Corp.

There's a considerable cock-up on that invoice - it states REAR AXLE but the oil grade is not what goes in the rear axle. With that, I'd insist that they put the correct oil in the REAR AXLE and do the oil change on the PTU and no additional charge.

You need to post a tutorial with video.

It's been a while, but I'm also intrigued and keen to hear how they accomplish that.

I tried an electric pump, it wasn't an expensive one, and that's maybe why it didn't work, so I bought a really good vacuum type extractor off eBay. See attached photo of my oil extractor and my garden sprayer re-purposed as an auto trans fluid pump - both work great.

Are you referring to the RDU? If so, the RDU takes 75W90 and the PTU 75-140 Maybe you're referring to the extractor equipment.

The home DIY'r uses an oil extractor, like the one I use to extract the RDU oil.

PTU If Firestone is a quick-lube or tire change place, I'd not allow them to touch any of my vehicles, ..... I'd take it to a reputable independent service centre. The use of non-Ford fluid has no impact on your warranty if it meets or exceeds the Ford's spec - Ford has serviced my vehicle with non-Ford fluid that I provided.

Been using Mobil-1 since the first service with Motocraft filter, whether I do the service or my local Ford dealership.

I got those "post cards" in the mail today for our 2015 Mustang and 2017 Edge. The Edge drivers airbag and controller was replaced when it was a couple of months old. There doesn't seem to be any such recalls for the 2015 Mustang.

Everything is covered in that thread, and more.

That is most likely a drain plug, if its at the low point when mounted.

That photo isn't showing - try uploading to this site.
