When imported to Burma, was there a swap of the dash/gauge cluster that could be the culprit?

Cam phasers. It was a buy back.

You love your boy smurfsquatch

You have to be Sasquatch - always paranoid and creating havoc. Sure do love talking to yourself!

% is climbing for failures. Would be nice for Ford to figure this out and give ecoboost owners a real solution.

With all the ecoboost we see and have experienced, I am happy to wait for any other power plant. My test drive of my 19 suckered me in, and it failed me pretty early on. I will buy another, but not until there is something else for power.

I thought you said it was a solenoid problem. You sound like Smurf or Sasquatch... One in the same.

Have you looked under the 18 to see if it was an early build with the plastic oil pan? That should be enough to sway you one direction.

Are you Sasquatch?

Issue might be bigger than many think. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/02/fords-third-quarter-auto-sales-fall-4point9percent-from-last-year.html

As mentioned, make sure you get to cold start to see if it has the cam phaser failure. Also, the 17 has a plastic oil pan, and your 18 may also have one depending on build date. Things to think about.

Are you Sasquatch?

Aren't they still working on it?

Still looks like it sags. ALOT.

Nope. There is an SSM for people that have the cold start rattle, and a TSB is forthcoming. Curious what date range it identifies. Hopefully at that point, they have revised parts to fix.

Yes, if you consider stretched chain, out of time, broken internals performance.

Not sure of this info. Folks getting fixed since that date are still reporting failures.

Probably fried the cats during this.

I think Ford now knows there is a problem. See post above yours.

Ford website shows a new special service message # 48168 regarding "ticking/tapping or rattle type noise on start up after a cold soak" >>> says possibly due to worn variable cam timing units, and then to replace all 4 of them - specifically states do not replace timing chain, tensioners, guides...

Trade that thing in and get something else.

These spark plugs don't last 100k miles? Why not?

Back to the top.

Just be careful in case you start consuming oil or have the cam phaser rattle startup and need the TSBs done.

With these mods, you will most likely lose warranty. Are you ok with that based on others experience here?
