ericuzor:
how does service of engine with the right specific synthetic oil for the engine, damage the engine..

The riddles should decoded by your people in our Nigeria spare parts local markets (LADIPO & OJUELEGBA).

I rest my case.

ericuzor:
the motocraft oil 6litre is around 27k the filter is around 5k

With these motorcraft oil and filter you quoted, you will definitely still destroy that 3.5l ivct engine of Ford.

Be extremely careful.

ridbay:
Good day

Please add me to the Ford Group
08078197526.


I have Ford Edge 2014 I bought as Tokunbo.

The first time I changed the engine oil, I was told to use hardex 5w-30

After two months, it started writing "Low engine oil pressure level" on the dashboard.

I bought two litres of hardex to top it up but the warning won't go away and my car shuts down after three minutes of running..
What do I do?

You almost destroy the engine. If this should continue, the next problem would be cranking noise at cold starting, then VVT problems begin and engine power lose, so be ready to replace engine. You need to take quick action.

Even the so called motorcraft oil and motorcraft oil filter, claimed to be original are all fake everywhere at this period, one must be very careful.

I will add you to the group now. immediately you come, I would try to create time so that we could attend to this asap.

Just got a ford edge 2016. My first time driving a ford. I need to know the things I need to watch out for to ensure I don’t spend so much on maintenance.

Please Sir/ma, need everyone's help, it's not so much convinient for me, wouldn't be able to stay too long here to respond to all messages. I need to go back into the workshop and join my mechanics on the repairs. I just realised that I even missed out some messages, I didn't reply to them.

Please I humbly appeal, let everyone come to the WhatsApp and those that have bought their ford, please let's enroll you as our workshop costumers. We reach out to people there on time. Phone numbers are there on FEMTOPFORD profile.

My utmost gratitude.

I drive a RDX 09 and RAV4 2012, but sold my RAV4 earlier this year and considering a 2016 ford escape for replacement. I enjoy good performance in my Acura but fuel utility not too great.

Anyone using a ford escape with experience on fuel consumption and performance?

Apologies for late response, extremely tight, we needed to give our all and time to the repairs of all ford for our costumers in our workshop, then few moments at our liesure we had to attend to our ford group members that were in need of technical assistance. So I appeal for your understanding.

To your question: go ahead and buy it, either the 1.6 or 2.0 engine capacity, both are excellent. Most people and you have already known that ford suspensions are rugged, sweetened and harmonious to our Nigerian road as high durability, so need not to talk about that.

Paramount concerns of car buyers " ENGINE/FUEL CONSUMPTION" Its engine is built with high metallic alloys that enhances properties of metals to withstand and accommodate any stress and blow received internally and externally.

FUEL CONSUMPTION ECONOMY: I give my salutation. ECOBOOST SYSTEM: An electronic turbo charged to augment the induction and cyclonic oxygen to create an homogeneous mixture with the micro fuel injected by the HDI to enhance the best stoichiometry of the mixture and resultant of a refined combustion for greater power output of a small capacity engine.

Go for it and grab your ESCAPE without reluctance.

Marpol:


No major problems. It's in use everyday

See this !
He got a year ago.
No major problem.
Functioning on the road everyday.
Cheap to procure.

So, what else, good to go for.

GAZZUZZ:


Never!

I don't know a happy Ford Edge owner in Lagos .

Send those unhappy Ford edge owners in Lagos to my workshop at Ikeja, they will definitely smile at the end and give testimonies.

9icetoo:


Cumrade, open Ford workshop na.

Doesn't really necessary for my brother to open Ford edge workshop, since mine had already been opened from 13 years back around Ikeja.

GAZZUZZ:


My dear brother, I was asking marpol for his experience as he got one last year or so.

Oh ! I misconstrued, my apologies.

GAZZUZZ:


How has the Ford experience been sir .

GAZZUZZ, You know better as a professional in Automobile field and also in reference to the previous narration of sultaan.

sultaan:
7 years later, the Edge has turned out to be one of the fastest selling SUV in Lagos.
Considering the number sold then and the number on the road.

The popularity of the car on the road should indicate it is a decent SUV to buy at it price.

Direct, simple and comprehensive. Great work sultaan.

bronks9174:
Hello guys, i used to have a 2008 Ford Edge years back. Very sound engine, transmission. Onle challenge was with the Fan. I bought complete fan and relay severally but the relay keeps failing and engine overheat. I eventually had a to use a relay to connect the fan directly but the noise was something else.
Anyone else with this issue and how did you deal with it.

It's not a complicated problem like you though as you had severally replaced the cooling system components but very simple problem to tackle, just that you haven't given your Ford edge to a compitent Auto tech. Most importantly it's extremely wrong to connect the cooling fans directly because it's highly detrimental to the engine in the aspects of :
(1) Engine thermostatic control,
(2) Low, medium and high speed fans in relative to air-conditioning and specific change in temperatures of the coolant circulation.
(3) Homogeneous and suspension states of the liquid fuel injection and air induction.
(4) Dilution and destruction of the chemical structure of the engine oil viscosity and the index.
(5) Lastly engine premature wear.

I won't have enough time this morning to go into details of the five above aspects, but my advice for you is to stop running the engine on direct fans voltage, instead need to be connected back to the original module thermostic control.

None of our ford edge costumers face this cooling fans challenge, I mean the consistent once that take up their routine service in our workshop.

I will give you guides to work on when installing back to original state, but this time around you need to use a compitent Auto tech that can use multi meter (AVO meter) excellently not those rewires with testing bulbs, else if you gave them the guides, they would think that you were talking from the space.

GUIDES:
(1) Resistance of the fan coils before voltage across with the use of multi meter.
(2) Inductance of the fan coils after voltage across with the use of multi meter or variable speed CAN compliance diagnostic software.
(3) Proper firm of all the connectors on the primary electrical line from PCM to the fan module.
(4) Proper firm of all the connectors on the secondary electrical lines from the battery junction box to the fan module and to the fan motors.
(5) Proper firm on the return electrical lines from fan motors to the fan module and to the ground.
(6) The auto tech should aid himself with the circuit diagram and the auto tools mentioned.

If all of the above were satisfied, you are good to go. Please, I might not be having time to explain much technical assistance here because our ford costumers have already choked us to the extreme in our workshop and we are obliged to quickly render technical assistance to all our WhatsApp group members that are in need. But as we promised, we would try our best from our tight up schedules to render few here.

Thanks for your understanding.

Femtopford.

Good evening boss.

I’m thinking of going for ford edge 2012. Please i need an advise on this. I was discouraged by a friend. But i love the car. Is it a good buy. This is actually my first car I won’t want to make a mistake .

No worries, please go ahead and buy, it's an excellent vehicle. If it weren't , you wouldn't have seen many driving it on the road. Edge are numerous in the country now because of its reliability. So you won't regret your decision.

Good luck everyone.

Im yet to be added femtoford.

Mr Jones, it's an overnight, sorry about that sir, Just added.

henro4niger:
If every car brand thread discussion was channeled to WhatsApp, I don't think people would bother coming to nairaland. Whatsapp discussion can't be followed and new members can't see previous discussion, hence one can't search past discussion and learn from it.

.


I think you might be right here, never the less, we couldn't deprive Ford owners coming from here to the WhatsApp of their benefits and rights. We shall see what we can do to appropriately manage Ford owners coming to the WhatsApp group and Nairalanders in seek of Ford Technical information and knowledge.

If you had known what substantial benefits that the people in our WhatsApp platform are gaining, you would be very glad and rejoice with them. So we appeal and we shall see to the situation.

My gratitudes.
