I’m really torn on weather or not to return mine when the lease is up - I like the car and the mechanic in me says this dilution problem seriously reduces the lifespan of the engine - especially with the turbo - but most tests show wear metals normal - my gut says it has to affect durability and...

My ‘18 Hatch Sport didn’t even warm up on the few cold days we had here in NY last week - dealer had it for 5 days and replaced thermostat - today it’s 18 degrees and yesterday was cold too and so far so good - A/C fix and software did nothing for me

I get the nitrogen in my tires from the good Lord. Seeing as how the air we breath is 78.09% nitrogen, I go with that and the $20 12v air compressor I keep in the trunk of my ‘18 Hatch Sport. To each his own but I could never deal with relying on having to take my car somewhere to have something...

They belong at the bottom of each cylinder in the 1.5t to prevent oil dilution. You’re screwed

And this is part of the issue with oil dilution - I received the software update and for a short time mine warmed up a little faster - the other day I left work and my engine was at normal temp the first couple of miles of driving - then I go down a very long hill ( mountain) where I coast most...

You basically changed the final drive ratio of your car by decreasing the overall diameter of the wheel/tire. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but places like Tirerack.com usually match the wheel/tire combos to maintain the same ( or close ) diameter regardless of what size wheel you out on -...

I understand you do your own oil changes but only the dealer has the proprietary left handed screwdrivers needed for brake service.

2007 Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor

Awesome color

I thinks it’s more than disingenuous to not include in the post title that the car is a salvage - there is a neither post on CVT failure as well - then when it’s read one finds out the vehicle was modified. To just put that the trans failed after 14k miles is BS.

I have the paddles in my 18 sport hatch - they’re useless - the manual shift auto in my 2012 Ford F-350 work truck works better

I got the letter as well. I have not had any issues other than a strong gasoline smell from the dipstick on first oil change. I had the software update and A/C part replaced- I am leasing my ‘18 hatch sport- initially my doubts were about the longevity of the CVT- now my issue is with the...

Lol I thought the same thing WTF?

He’s right though - I’m glad I leased mine- this dilution issue may not bode well for long term reliability of these engines - mine goes back in 2 years

Keep us posted on how they hold up - I’ve got the Huskys and I agree - they’re very industrial looking -those looks nice. Good luck with them

Got mine done a few weeks ago. Replaced A/C control unit and installed new software update. Had to take it back for a second software update because car would warm up and then go completely cold- it kept fluctuating. Since the second visit I notice engine gets to temp a little faster than before...

My personal opinion ? I’m leasing mine for 3 years and then turning it back in. This works fine for me. With this dilution issue I would be wary of buying a car with this engine and wanting to keep it and get 200k miles out of it - not sure anyone really knows how it will effect longevity .

It was behaving very much like a sticky thermostat in some of the older cars I’ve owned - but so far it looks like the second reflash fixed it

I picked the car up today- they told me Honda came out with another update to the software and they flashed it into the car. I have to say the car warmed up MUCH quicker and stayed right on. After the original TSB was done last week, it would warm very slowly the cool down and I'd lose heat- the...

I had the a/c unit replaced and the re-program done last week. I then had intermittent heat and the car would slightly warm up then go completely cold with zero heat - this happened several times. Today I picked it up from the dealer and they said Honda came out with an updated flash and that...
