I guess the forum and ford service manual are misformed. https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/1-5l-drain-plug.17183/#post-271004

What's worse is an auto manufacturer can't design or produce a vehicle that will last 21K miles without having massive oil leaks. My understanding is the plastic oil pan drain plug can be a source of oil leaks. From what I read, some shops will not perform an oil change without replacing the...

Man, I got hand me downs until I bought my first new car after college. Put a bumper sticker on it. 1. Make son get a job to pay for replacement bumper. 2. Buy service manual as a Xmas gift. 3. Make son replace bumper over Xmas break.

When the dealership "resealed" the leaks, did they just smear RTV on the outside? Looks like it's leaking somewhere and blowing back while driving. 1. Clean it off with some degreaser compatible with plastic engine parts 2. Add some UV dye to oil 3. Run engine without driving 4. Use UV light...

Or did the dealer the new owner purchased it from know it had problems and sold it as is no warranty, knowing full well the new owner would not notice until the paperwork was signed and driven off the lot. I would be tempted to take the selling dealer to court, but I’m sure they made him sign...

Stealerships get paid to sling parts, not to diagnose. That’s how Ford corporate structured dealership reimbursements. You can blame Farley and the other C-Suite executives and BoD.

In short, coolant leaking from head, into exhaust and turbo, and destroying the cat. Only 89K miles. Dealer wanted to replace the water pump and radiator before diagnosing the real problem. Dealers get paid to load a parts cannon, not diagnose the real problem.

Detroit = Salt Belt = Corrosion Numerous simultaneous system faults = likely power/ground problem Look for a loose/rotted out ground

Great! HP fuel pump leaking gas into the crank case. Quality is Job #1 is a [redacted] punchline. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11021976-0001.pdf Odd it makes no mention of the Bronco Sport, yet it comes up under my VIN search. https://www.ford.com/support/service-information/

Looks like a [redacted] boat hull plug https://www.amazon.com/2011-2024-KX6Z-6730-B-FT4Z-6730-BC3Z-6730-BC3Z-6730-B/dp/B0DSFDGCBN

Articulating endoscope arrived today. Assuming I am pointed at the cylinder head, doesn't appear my P/N is on the list. 4133A24318 PV4E 6049 E46B 094250

I can see the P/N tag just under the fuel rail on the RHS. I couldn't get my iPhone camera to focus on it. Gave me an excuse to buy an iPhone articulating endoscope camera. Arrives tomorrow. I assume the dealers will use a similar method and charge Ford for the full labor hours to remove...

My BS was built on November 27th, 2024 so I have absolutly nothing to worry about. 😱

Has anyone figured out how too turn off the seat belt warning pop up on the instrument cluster so I don't wear out the OK button on the steering wheel every time I start the vehicle?

Ability to reprogram my other Ford vehicles and not have to put up with the Dealer.

Confirmed FDRS does not provide a drop down selection for ODBLink EX, but it does for the Mongoose-Plus. I bought the Mongoose-Plus and a 2 day FDRS license to program the stick on RF keypad. Took less thank 5 minutes to program with FDRS. I noticed FDRS leaves an evidence trail in the...

I've been testing every iOS 26 developer beta and I've had no issues with '25 BS Sync iV CarPlay

Well deserved 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Short term remedy is a drain line, and software update to detect leaking injectors and either put vehicle in limp mode or disable to fuel pump. Who knows when or even if they come up with a more permanent solution. Perhaps they will offer a gasoline vapor detector...
