- 2012 Edge SEL
Good Morning Folks,
I have a 1st gen (2012) Edge with the 2.0 EcoBoost engine. Does anyone have instructions or a video on replacing the radiator? Before you hit me with the “YouTube is your friend”, “If you have to ask, send it to a mechanic”, or “do you know how to use Google” comments, just know that:
- I am quite mechanical:
* I am your standard GenXer and I have actually replaced many a radiator in my day and worked on a multitude of different projects.
- I have a lot of tools and I know how to use them:
* Not only do I have standard and metric ratchets, wrenches, and sockets, I also have impacts, air compressors, diagnostic tools, etc.
- I have googled this topic till the ends of the earth:
* There are guides out there for the Ford Edge with the 3.5-liter V6, but I have not been able to find any for the 2.0 EcoBoost.
- I have YouTube'd this till the ends of the earth:
* Same as Google. I can find 3.5 videos all day long, but no 2.0 EcoBoost for the first gen.
- I have scoured the forum sites:
* Same results as Google and YouTube.
- Because of the electronics involved in these newer cars, I do not like to go in blind:
* I don’t just want to start snatching on plugs and harnesses all willy-nilly.
- I have brought it to a mechanic:
* They want 600 bucks and I definitely don’t have it.
Any help and/or instructions y'all have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Love y'all.
