PTU Leak

I am considering buying a used 2007 FWD and I'm concerned about all the discussion about the PTU leaks, should this problem stop me from buying????

 

Hi Joep. :D FWD models do not have a PTU. The PTU is an AWD model component.

 

Even if someone was looking at a used AWD Edge, it would be as simple as checking the PTU for leaking fluid. Just as any used car should be checked for leaking oil, coolant, trans fluid etc., before purchase. Of course, a car can be well cleaned to camouflage leaks, but that is the chance a buyer takes with a used vehicle.

 

But anyway, in your case there is no PTU on a FWD Edge, so no PTU leak worries.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:
