@larryd4352 4 года назад

@Scotty Kilmer I have a 2008 Ford Edge with that 3.5 L V6 engine. The engine has 159k miles on it, and I have it serviced regularly...Oil Changes every 3 months, had Transmission fluid & filter changed at 125k miles...and only repairs it's ever had was the fan assembly replaced back in August of 2019. My mechanic just changed my oil last week...said the oil was just fine...my transmission fluid looked brand new...and when I had my Texas Inspection done in October, my mechanic...who also does Inspections....said my emissions were less than some new cars. My question is, beside the oil being milky looking, what sounds should I listen for? My Edge has never leaked any fluid...and even when the fan assembly stopped working...it happened at my apartment complex...so I just had it towed to my mechanic. It never overheated...I just noticed when I turned off the engine that the electric fan didn't stay on. Thanks for all the excellent information!

I'd look into being an electrician, plumber, or HVAC tech, because as cars get more computerized, auto makers are going to go more and more in-house (dealership-only) for repairs. It's already happening with John Deere, Tesla, and FCA. No ability to go independent removes leverage for employees to negotiate wages and benefits = Not Good.

As a defender of the Oldsmobile Quad 4, I can properly say that this did cause a lot of issues, and the pancake batter issue with the baffles didnt help matters either. Id wadger that a few thousand Quad 4 cars were repaired because of these known problems before some dope head figured out it wasnt a head gasket problem. But by that time, the damage had already been done. And to this day, idiots on the internet blame the Quad 4s issues on blown head gaskets. In my personal experience, very rarely, if ever, does a quad 4/twin cam car lose a head gasket. And if it does, its usually user error because they dont perform the proper maintenance.

Thomas Blaine "sounds intentional "-doesnt equal- "absolutely intentional" Ford DOHC V6s(Mazda V6), & Nissan VQ, Vk, & VR engines were derived from timing belt engines that left the water pump *inside* the timing cover to *save exterior space*. Ford V6s & Nissan V6-V8 engines arent known for having their timing chain water pump failing very early in life. Ive met plenty of Ford standard & Ecoboost 3.0-3.7L V6s that had never been opened in over 250K miles I have plenty of friends who crossed 230-250k miles in Nissan V6s & V8s & had never the front of the engine opened.... If both the Ford & Nissan owners had to open their timing covers... It would be after 13-15 years of service!

@wildcoyote34 4 года назад

@Thomas Blaine you might think that but it's far from true ,,Pontiac had the Quad 4 back in the early 90s and it has a timing chain driven water pump ,,those engines easily reached 250K miles if maintained ,,and GM recommended replacing the timing chain and tensioners at 150K miles ,and they also suggest replacing the water pump at that time due to the complexity of the job another engine of this design is the follow on engine to the QUAD-4 the GM ECO-Tec engine ,,millions of GM cars from 2002 till today , all of GMs small cars used this engine for most of the last 18 years ,,my sister had a 2003 chevy Cavalier that made 256,000 miles before a balance shaft broke inside the engine

@wildcoyote34 4 года назад

@Ernest Cazenave I personally dislike the Ecotec engine , my primary reason for this is it's TINY cartridge oil filter ,,we never had any of the commonly associated problems that Ecotecs normally have ,specifically the headgasket problem ,it ran perfectly up till the day it broke ,only thing i ever did to it was maintenance ,oil/filter every 3500-4000 miles and filter every 2000,airfilter every 20K ,sparkplugs at 100K and again at 200K,,it had a habit of using 1 quart of oil between changes that never got worse ,,when the motor died my sister just bought another car rather than fixing it cause the then 14 year old car just wasn't worth spending $1500 on a used engine

@randycarter2001 4 года назад

Not just break. The first failure is the shaft seal starts to leak. So for months you have coolant dripping into the oil. Unless you're checking the oil daily you'll miss the start of the leak. Since water is heavier than oil it will sink to the bottom and be the first thing the oil pump sucks up. Bye bye engine. Bye bye car.

@BoomAlleyDrums 4 года назад

Scotty, this happened to my 2008 Nissan Frontier. My mechanic removed the front of the engine to access the timing chain (as you stated). The whine I was hearing was actually created by the plastic tensioner head being scraped over by the tensioner chain which wore away the plastic head of the pin. Which by the way, Nissan found out that (later), the plastic, when exposed to lubrication, softened it, which diminished the life of the part. $1,500 bucks later, through research, I find out Nissan has a class action suit against them for this design flaw.

@MainMite06 4 года назад

Perry All of Scotty's examples were re-adapted Japanese engines that used to run timing belts & powered that water pump with the timing belt. All of Fords DOHC (Duratec) V6s were designed & pulled from Mazda. Mazda used to run timing belts in their V6 engines in the 90s. When the 2000s came mazda decided to readapt their V6s to timing chain drive to improve reliability & improve consumer faith. But Mazda didnt want to reenginer the V6s significantly- *so they left the water pump in place ran the pump with the chain* & finally the story remains the same about Nissan VQ,VR.& VK engines, & it still remains the same story with Subaru H6s & timing chain F4s

@MainMite06 4 года назад

Perry One more thing I forgot to say: just because the water pump is buried inside the timing cover & driven by timing chain *doesnt make them inherintly unreliable* Examples: 👉The 2016-2019 Ford GT ran the same DOHC TT ecoboost V6 from the F150, & explorer. *So that means it used a timing chain water pump* They ran Le mans & never had a single engine failure, & never had an engine failure throughout the WEC. 👉Nissan uses many variants of the VQ, VR, & VK engine to run endurance races, (The VR is the turbo Variant of the VQ, & the Vk is the 90 degree V8 derived from VQ) *all of them use the use timing-chain water pumps, & they never have failed from cooling issues* One example is- *the whole 2017-now LMP2 field* They all use a modified Nissan VK45 engine. & oh boy, they're known to take a thrash!

Nissan has had the water pump inside the timing cover for decades as has Honda. The thing is that you just have it replaced when you replace the chain or belt. Usually around 90K miles. In my 350Z and my Q60S, you have a tell tale hole that will weep antifreeze when the pump is starting to go. This pump has this little exit hole that sends the coolant outside. But, if you don't change the pump when this starts happening you run the risk of total failure. I had one replaced on my 350Z along with the chains and the chain tensioners and it cost around $1,100. As for just doing the water pump, Scotty must be a bit confused. There is a port in the timing cover that allows you to remove the pump without pulling that big front timing cover off as well as another that allows you to take tension off the chain as well as remove and replace the tensioner. I own a 350Z and a newer Infiniti Q60S and both can have water pumps replaced without the total removal of the timing chain cover.. I think this is just another of Scotty just plain hating anything Nissan.. Well? My boss has one of Scotty's beloved Lexus cars and that bloody thing is nothing but a rolling money pit.

I’m no Nissan fanboy but the Nissan VQ series engine is one of the most highly regarded engines in history. It’s been awarded (if not mistaken) 14 consecutive Ward’s best engines in the world. If there’s a defect in the design, obviously it wouldn’t have made this feat. Now, the Nissan CVT is a different matter. But the VQ engine was the standard for V6 engines for many years. Makes you think that this guy is obviously biased against certain brands especially Nissan.

@Buc_Stops_Here 4 года назад

I guess my family is lucky - parents owned a first generation boxer H6 engine and after 14 years and 200,000 miles - the Subaru water pump was fine. Probably why you don't see any lawsuits against Subaru for this engine - but Ford does. I own a 6 year old 100,000 miles with an H6 engine. No issues with anything as of yet. Monitoring your engine in any car is smart. My parents also owned a Toyota Corolla with a CVT. It made a noise, they brought it in after 74,000 miles - and it needed to be rebuilt. Yes, Toyota makes bad designs as well. Not many, but they exist.

There is no way to fit a engine of that size transversally for a FWD and put a 6 SPD transmission for better fuel economy in the bay size provided without compromises. The fact that on RWD cars with similar engines have the water pump external shows the engineers were aware.

It's a social class thing. Upper-Class English always has someone else do their dirty, greasy work. In Continental Europe by comparison, Engineers started their training, in what is equivalent to our High School, by designing, building, and fixing their own simple machines.

My Subaru Tribeca 3.0 H6 had a leaking water pump. Cost $1000 to replace. Not fun. They had to take the timing cover off, chain off..........you get the idea.

Engineers HAVE to think of new ways of doing things constantly to avoid becoming obsolete. There is no requirement they actually IMPROVE anything, as long as it is new (or recycled from a previous engineer's work).

Engineers Only Design things ; they Never, Even FIX them -- that job is left to the mechanics and technicians . . They design stuff Purely to show the World how clever they are; but then they wash their hands of any responsibility for things when they wear out or fail. And it's left to the mechanics and technicians to face angry people and take the blame when things go wrong! Case in point: Skyscrapers -- you will never find an architect or engineer cleaning or replacing the windows on a skyscraper, will you . . .

Yes engineers get a bad rap when decisions are made by accountants & executive wanting to maximize their profits. Engineers are paid to execute designs.... that's their job. I wouldn't want an engineer doing my car Mtc. but I do, perform my own when within my capabilities. And... I did obtain my degree in engineering.

@mikeg3529 4 года назад

If they didn't have the room to put the water pump on the belt drive, then they should just use an electric pump somewhere accessible on the car. An electric pump might fail occasionally,and might be a couple hundred dollars to replace but it would avoid that horrific failure mode where coolant enters the crankcase and costs you a whole engine.

@lolz616 4 года назад

or u could just change the water pump out at a reasonable amount of mileage to stop it from breaking and causing all that damage much cheaper

Thanks scotty for letting me know about this. I have one of those duratec engines that you mention in the video. My water pump is going bad because I'm loosing some coolant every few days and now I know why. It's not leaking outside the engine its leaking inside and mixing with my oil

@JohnDiMartino 4 года назад

I agree with you 100 percent , it’s completely unacceptable that manufacturers put the water pump inside the engine behind a chain which empties the cooling systems contents into the crankcase . One thing you didn’t specify is that not All Ford Duratec 3.5/3.7s have that, just the transverse mount ones. The F150 and Transit Vans use a belt driven water pump on the outside that’s easy to change

@crxdelsolsir 4 года назад

2:56 Is the reason why they did it that way. Essentially you will experience this when you didn't want to have it serviced under warranty (because they replace this under dealer periodic servicing), trying to save by DIY'ing it and forgot to change it or out of warranty. Either way it is a nice little booby trap penalty for trying to save by not having your vehicle serviced by the Stealership so they can get your money (profits). Also a great way to cut the life cycle of products reducing the 2nd hand market (seen as a drain on profits) and forces people to buy new so that the manufacturer receives the most profit.

I hate Ford for doing such a bad water pump design, my very well maintained 2013 SEL with just 72,424 miles on it is going to be parked for a very long time until I can get the money to fix it, where I live is very expensive it cost about $2,500 USD. I have owned Ford vehicles for a long time, but not anymore!!!, this will be the last Ford in my life!!!. I had a 2000 Ford Taurus with the 24 valves Duratec V6 3.0L engine, it came out much better than this 2013 one, I remember that the water pump was external and extremely easy to replace. Next time I'm buying something else a Mazda 6, Toyota Camry, a Honda Accord or maybe a Kia or Hyundai.
