Ford Edge

Continental injectors with a faulty internal coating (vehicles built Feb–Sep 2019). The coating delaminates and blocks the injector. Ford service action: free injector replacement (Ford TSB-20-2335). Affected vehicles: Transit, Ranger, Focus, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy, Edge.

Symptoms: Hesitation, poor idle, power reduction, increased fuel consumption, limp mode

Faulty injectors generate excessive soot that prematurely clogs the DPF. On the high-output variant (190 hp), soot also blocks the low-pressure filter of the dual EGR system. Repair requires simultaneous replacement of injectors AND DPF (TSB-20-2335). Replacing the DPF alone does not resolve the issue long-term.

Symptoms: Fault codes P2002, P02EC, P02FA, check engine light, power reduction

The oil bath timing belt disintegrates and clogs the oil pump strainer with debris particles. The engine dies from oil starvation — bearings, crankshaft, camshaft and turbocharger are destroyed.

Symptoms: No prior warning: oil pressure drops, engine runs rough, then total destruction. Belt itself may look intact visually.

The 2.0 EcoBlue turbocharger can fail before 50,000 km. Cause: belt debris in the oil circuit or overdue oil change intervals clog the oil feed to the turbo bearing.

Symptoms: Whistling on acceleration, noticeable power loss, blue smoke. Turbo warning light may not illuminate.

A design-inherent uneven distribution of EGR exhaust gases leads to excessive soot ingestion in the middle cylinders. Soot particles cause abrasive wear from piston rings — compression loss and engine replacement required.

Symptoms: Rough idle, increased oil consumption, white or black smoke, high fuel trim correction values stored in ECU.

The NOx sensor in the SCR exhaust aftertreatment system fails prematurely. Fault code P20EE is typical. AdBlue consumption increases measurably as the system reverts to a base map. Sensor replacement is relatively inexpensive.

Symptoms: Check engine light P20EE, increased AdBlue consumption, occasional no-start after many km

The 2.0 EcoBlue T8CC dilutes the engine oil with diesel fuel during DPF regeneration cycles when used mainly on short trips. Shorter oil change intervals and Ford-spec oil exclusively are mandatory.

Symptoms: Early oil change warning, oil level rising instead of dropping, engine oil smells of diesel

The 6-speed PowerShift dual-clutch gearbox (6DCT450) in the Edge II tends toward stiff gear changes, oil leaks, and limp mode. Regular gearbox oil changes every 50,000–60,000 km are crucial.

On the Edge II with LED cornering lights produced between December 2015 and March 2016, a software fault in the control module could cause a sudden total failure of both headlights. A software update to the headlight and BCM module fixes the fault.

Oil leaks at the cam cover gasket and oil filter housing are reported on the Edge II. Leaking oil dripping onto hot engine components can cause smoke and in extreme cases a fire risk.

The rear doors of the Edge II have poor sealing at the lower edge due to door mirrors pulled down excessively far. Moisture and road salt attack the door lower edge. The underbody rusts unusually quickly without protection treatment.
