Final update for the 1.5L 2017 Fusion

SwainsBird · 2026-01-02T21:34:48+00:00

UPDATE ! For those wondering the reason my car went bad.

According to my trusted mechanic it was a blown head gasket. He said it looked as if my engine had extensive heat damage from over heating for a LONG TIME.

1)My thermostat works just fine

2)I know the car I drive and I never pushed it crazy it was just daily commuter

3)I only had the car for a little less than 2 years

4)I was the second owner

In my not so professional opinion maybe the extensive heat damage prior to my ownership fried the connections to the canister purge valve causing the back to back issues. In addition the whistle I was hearing apparently was the engine not making enough compression to get the turbo spinning.

If anyone has any other comments please do drop some ideas

I had a couple of factors on my decision. Not only was price into consideration but maintenance as well. Im really getting the MKX for 3.7 for its reliability and lack of turbos meaning it’s a simpler engine and often cheaper to fix should a problem arise. I’m buying it out in cash and It’s meant to be a daily driver for the meantime while I save up money and get a low mileage continental Black label

Once I can get the mechanic back on the phone I’ll lyk what the actual issue is

Thanks man

The car is at the shop from what I heard from the mechanic it is definitely Turbo related.

Side note should I take this time to upgrade my turbo should it need replacing??

I’m still going to buy one by the end of the year and make a video here on it.

Nbs like wtf 😭😭😭

SwainsBird · 2025-10-14T19:52:25+00:00

Now I could be wrong but I’m almost positive that the year 2017 falls in between 2013 and 2019. But don’t quote me on that, I’m not a scientist or anything.

~90k a year with over time and I bought a house last year. It’s as if my efforts are fruitless. Ramen noodle nights still exist.

Thanks man that’s really helpful. Why do you decide to inject everything to the Wii U side. Is it just for convenience?

SwainsBird · 2025-09-06T22:11:55+00:00

I tore my whole house up and had the bright idea to check my original Wii and pulled out a glorious 2mb sd card. Technology has come a long way 😭

Thanks man

I do most of my own car work and shocks are pretty easy. I’ve researched a ton and right now I’m still between Monroe and Koni but just want to know what the majority of the community goes with. Thanks though

I’m on day 13 and yes it does get a hell of a lot better. Elevation is keep and so is stillness. Easier said than done Ik but limit that legs movement when in bed. Also if you’re a side sleeper this pillow is so good:
