Sparky Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 :wacko: Thank you, That would be great. Id appreciate it! Lenny I just told the dealer that I smell burning on occasion on my 09 LTD AWD, and they sad to make a appointment next week to check it out. Also they sad the PTU seals are different in 09 from 08. I think I will wait few weeks and see what the new engineered seals are like. But I was surprised that the seals from 08 to 09 are different.

I am not sure but I think the 09 seals are the reengineered ones. Now thats not saying that your Edge didn't get the last 07-08 seal in the hopper as it came down the line either. I would say take that sucker in if your smelling the burn and at least let them take a look at it. Thats what warenties are for LOL GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockisle9 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Let me ask you this, if you take an 08 in with 30k miles on it and they change the seals. What's the warenty after that? Still the ariginal 60k miles or somthing diferent? Just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the ariginal 60k miles or somthing diferent? Just wondering From my experience they should count it as a repair which should come with a warrenty all it's own, but it would just cover the repair not for example the rest of the drive train Edited January 11, 2010 by TnDEdge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what warenties are for LOL GL Ye, our 09 Edge was built June 08, so it might have had the old seals installed. I only noticed the smell maybe 5 times this winter so far and only being at stop light. Also it only happens after driving on the highway for wile in higher speed. I do not see any leaks on the driveway. Hopefully they have the fix for it now... Time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell From what I have read the source of the leak drips right onto the exhaust and that does sound to me like a seal failure just because of your description of when you smelled it. IE at a stop light where the drips would have a chance to land on the hot surface and at speed where the rotating shaft would be more prone to leaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockisle9 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ok I just came from my ford dealer to make an appointment for oil change.

Customer paid repairs are usually warranted for one year or 12,000 miles. Edited January 17, 2010 by Grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockisle9 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Went to the dealer today for oil change and to to check for the leak. The told me I had the infamis ptu leak. They told me they have the third re-desighn seals and asked me if I wanted to have the repair done. I asked them how they were, and they said that this desighn has just become redally avalable and so far they did about 9 and so far none returned. I told them let's go for it. Next Wednesday there going to do the job, they said it's about a 3 hour job but still gave me a loaner. I wasn't expextig that but thanked them. Hopfully Ford has a handle on this and we can go fowrard. If not I'll wate for the next fix. I trust Ford and am sure they will come up with a fix. It seems most of the problems people report is with dealers, I guess I'm lucky. I love the 2011 pictures and will get one.

Is it a quick fix or costly Well I know is the information that was on my paper work: TSB 09-25-7 Part # 8T4Z 7275 CC As far as I know its only seal, so I dont think the parts are very expensive. Labor was about 3 or 31/2 hours. Thats about all I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Edgedriver Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have an '07 Edge and have been through 7 PTU seals and 1 axle so far. On the 6th replacement it was the "New" engineered seal, it only lasted 2 days and the car was back into the dealer for the burning small and leaking. They have replaced it once again with the "New" engineered seal this week but I don't have much hope that it will be the final cure. I hope you all have better luck than I have had.

Mine has been good so far, replaced once with the 'new' seal. These are the parts on my receipt and below it is the explanation from k_m on what it means. L65 C FRT AXLE SEAL LEAKING Installed 8T4Z 7275 DC KIT-SEAL DIAG REPLACED INTSHAFT SEAL LEAKING Basically they replaced the seals where the half shaft [axle enters the transmission. the DC Kit-seal is a component of the PTU. So all in all your PTU and its seals were changed. Edited March 31, 2010 by igcitng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
