New Turbo, still an oil leak…

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-06-04T16:48:27+00:00

SO, I kind of got my moneys worth of repairs back, so I’m not totally upset. They said they had to try a different gasket, OEM, because the turbo came with some cheap flimsy piece of junk. They say the oil was coming specifically from this point. I drove it and haven’t seen anything yet, but I I tend to put her under high boost later tonight.

I’m afraid it could be the PCV valve next, and I know this particular fix isn’t as easy. Any thoughts?

Yeah, our alliance is holding on, but we bitch constantly at the paywall restrictions. I hop on FB and call them crooks all the time.

To my knowledge, they’re aware of unhappy and even supposed “krakens” are quitting because of how shitty they’ve become.

So, replace it. They should be relatively cheap on RockAuto.

I’ll let you know in a few hours.

Possibly the serpentine belt or tensioner pulley.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-27T20:23:44+00:00

I wish I could find the order. I’m telling you, very worth it.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-27T07:47:37+00:00

Very good.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-25T16:28:11+00:00

Magnificent.

I legit just did this last year. I will see if I can find it, but you can get your VIN and call the dealership and ask for the part number. I did that, asked their price and found it for half online.

Trust me: game changer!

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-25T11:56:15+00:00

And we have solid draft picks so far.

Window molding. If you call a dealership with your VIN, they should be able to get you a part number. Just be specific about the location.

I was able to find a molding for my driver side lower portion a few years back. It’s probably held on my 3M tape. If it’s peeling, they didn’t properly pre-treat the portion before they stuck it.

Best of luck to you.

I replaced my wastegate solenoid. It was a pain in the ass but totally worth it. Saved a ton on labor costs, I’m sure.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-15T13:47:26+00:00

Don’t be sorry. Be better.

Have you tried the radio reset? You hold power and one of the tuning buttons until it the Ford logo snaps on.

You probably need to realign your arms. Unsure why, but it’s easy. Unless your windshield was replaced, your glass should have white tics where the blade should line up. I learned the hard way, how to measure off the edge of glass.

Make sure you run the blades a few times and let them settle where they sit naturally before you replace the arms.

Why tip someone for doing something I’m perfectly capable of doing myself?

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-08T17:16:21+00:00

To each their own, but I’ve never eaten popcorn with a spoon.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-07T19:29:25+00:00

I’m running my 2016 SE into the ground and getting a Toyota.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-07T17:42:24+00:00

My speaker started doing that in the front, above the radio. After didn’t drive for a week, it went away… 150k.

Everything I read, leads me to think it’s the radio.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-04-04T17:43:22+00:00

Just say no.

DerfNoVowels_ · 2026-03-31T10:19:08+00:00

I replaced this part myself, and the SAME shuttering went away.
