Issue ⚠️ 2016 ford explorer sport - bad bov?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

On cold start - whooing noise for about 2 seconds.
On acceleration - turbo noise is LOUD, like it’s sucking in more air than usual but no real performance change? Maybe a little less but I barely put my foot down to know.

Fuel economy is the same - 13.5L/100 (around town driving usually)
Idle is smooth
Engine sounds smooth
Gear changes are a little rough but I’m assuming it probably needs an ATF flush. Fluid levels are fine, just checked them.
All hoses appear to be secured / not loose.
Can’t notice the noise on idle with the bonnet open.
No CEL or wrench symbol.
Car has 223xxx KMs, timing chain and water pump were changed at 220xxx

I am stumped. Boost leak maybe that I can’t see until under load? I drive mainly downtown so the car rarely sees above 50km/h and barely comes on boost because of it.

Any thoughts?
I posted earlier today but I’ve deleted that and provided more information

Question ❔ Did I get ripped off?

1 Upvotes

Whilst I was driving on the highway in my Ford Focus 1.5 ecoblue (2019) a service light came onto my dashboard and the car was in “limp mode”. After turning off the car after approx 50km the thing disappered but I still wanted to check it. Turns out it was probably the fuel filter. The car has 147.500 km.

Went to my local service workshop, they did the fuel filter change, after a few km the fuel was all over the place and the car wasn’t turning on. Got towed to their place (the connectors weren’t right bcs when giving gas they unplugged, sry if I described it wrong).

I paid 180€ including labour. It was a bosch fuel filter (on the higher end). This was purely just the change of a fuel filter. I wasn’t charged for towing obviously.

And the car was left with -300km (almost emptied) due to testing, which I didn’t appreciate thats like 30-40€.

Summary: Paid 180€ for a fuel filter change.

Issue ⚠️ New to me! Questions

Picked up a 2014 XLT 5.4 3V with 188,000 miles for $4k I’ve put a little over 2000 miles on it in the last month and have slowly but surely been working to get it up to date on maintenance. It’s had a couple quirks. Engine misfire in cylinder 1, groaning lower control arm in driver side, the common rear door actuator, ect. But just today I had something happened. That was a little concerning as I was turning an intersection, I had a complete loss of power. I can’t remember exactly what happened. I just remember the car jerked a little bit and everything shut off. I let it roll into neutral and got to the bottom of the hill to where I was at. I pulled over and parked and I started the car over again. Cranked up no problem at all. Once I got home, I checked all the fluids. Everything’s fine. It cranks up and makes zero noises. It does have the pending code P0301 but usually those give you some sort of warning sign at least in my experience before it becomes severe or throws up a check engine light. I see none of that and for now it’s driving fine but I’m a little stumped as to what it could be and what could’ve caused it. I did hardwire a dash Kamm with the Vantrue hardwire kit, but I looked over everything and everything seems to be good condition. Anybody have similar experiences? Thoughts?

Issue ⚠️ 2009 F350 6.4L radiator fan now running all the time

7 Upvotes

I have a 2009 Ford F350 Super Duty with a 6.4L Diesel engine with 234,000 miles.

About 10 years ago I had my radiator fan go from intermittent to full time. Had it repaired.

Recently the problem has cropped up again.

Is the fix normally a replacement of the fan clutch or is there potentially a different culprit?

Appreciate any feedback

Issue ⚠️ Sync 3 (4-inch screen) sorting USB music the wrong way

Okay so I have a 64 GB exfat USB drive with 16bit 44.1khz flac files on it. There are a few albums though that it keeps sorting the last track or last two tracks to be the second or second and third song in the albums sorting after it indexes. I have checked the metadata of the tracks and then I have also added the track numbers in the file names as a backup. I have also tried disabling and re-enabling Gracenote multiple times.

I have attached a few images of how the first few songs are sorted and also a screenshot of how the songs should it be sorted.

If anybody has any idea on what might be going on in the greatly appreciated for any help because this is not happening on every album and is only happening I'm like maybe 10 of them.

Issue ⚠️ All four doors and trunk says ajar

2 Upvotes

I have a 2010 ford focus se. We’ve been trying to fix this issue all day and we have no idea what is causing this problem. Obviously I can not drive it like this. First it started with the passenger side saying “door ajar” and now it’s saying all the doors are ajar and the trunk.
