2013-2017 Multiple Vehicles – 6F35/6F15 – Updated Front Pump Inspection Procedure

2013-2017 vehicles equipped with the 6F35/6F15 automatic transmission have had updated procedures added to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.

These instructions are designed to correctly diagnose failures within the (7A103) front pump.

The new steps added will help with inspection of the pump gears, gear pocket, pump bushings, flatness of sealing surfaces, TCC valve, and turbine shaft.

Growling or Scraping Noise After Brake Rotor Cover Removal – 2016-2017 Ford & Lincoln

Some 2016-2017 MY vehicles with factory installed brake rotor covers may exhibit a growling or scraping noise coming from the wheel area after the brake rotor covers were removed as part of the pre-delivery inspection.

This may be due to the brake caliper spring becoming dislodged during the rotor cover removal process and rubbing against the wheel.

To avoid this, the brake rotor covers must be removed from the inboard side of the wheel and without the use of tools.

After each rotor cover is removed, the brake caliper should be inspected to ensure nothing was dislodged.

Additionally, each wheel should be rotated by hand to verify there is no contact or rubbing between the brake caliper components and the wheel.

Warranty claims related to this issue may be subject to chargeback.

G0000185 – Gas Engine Oil or Coolant Leak at the Turbocharger – Ford & Lincoln
V 1.0
June 2018

GSB Overview:    This bulletin provides information on diagnosing gasoline engine oil and coolant leaks at the turbocharger
NOTE: This information is not intended to replace or supersede any warranty, parts and service policy, Work Shop Manual (WSM) procedures or technical training or wiring diagram information.

BEFORE REPLACING GASOLINE ENGINE TURBOCHARGERS FOR OIL OR COOLANT LEAKS

This GSB includes information on the following topics:

    Diagnosing oil leaks where oil is observed on the external surfaces of the turbocharger.
   Diagnosing coolant leaks where coolant is observed on the external surfaces of the turbocharger.
    Acceptable locations for oil or coolant on the internal surfaces of the turbocharger.

Please reference the following sections within the Workshop Manual for complete information on oil and coolant leak diagnostics; (sections 303-03 and 303-04 are engine specific)

    303-00 Engine System / General Information / Diagnosis and Testing
    303-03 Engine Cooling / Diagnosis and Testing
    303-04 Fuel Charging and Controls – Turbocharger / Diagnosis and Testing

These are two key notes from the Workshop Manual that pertain to this topic.

NOTE: The turbocharger oil supply tube is located on the top of the turbocharger. Many leaks from the turbocharger oil supply tube will look like they are turbocharger oil leaks, as the oil will accumulate in the v-band and drip off the bottom of the turbocharger. After replacing the turbocharger oil supply tube, clean the outside of the turbocharger, to avoid false diagnosis of a leaking turbocharger.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of combustion gas to pass into the crankcase. This gas is scavenged into the air intake system through the PCV system, which incorporates a crankcase vent oil separator. Some engine oil, in the form of a vapor is carried into the air intake system with the blow-by gases (this engine oil also contributes to valve seat durability). This means that oil will collect inside the air intake components and the turbocharger. This is not an indication that the turbocharger oil seal has failed. The turbocharger oil seal will generally not fail unless the bearings fail first, which will cause the turbocharger to become noisy or seize. Do not install a new turbocharger due to oil inside the turbocharger or the air intake components. If a leak is detected in the oil supply or return tubes or connections, locate and rectify the source. Do not install a new turbocharger due to an oil leak.

Overview of observed oil / coolant on external surfaces of a gasoline engine turbocharger:

    Oil and coolant may be observed on the external surfaces of turbochargers. This is NOT an indication of a faulty turbocharger.
    Staining or wet oil / coolant dripping may be present on the lower point of the turbocharger v-band.

V-Band

    Oil and coolant on the external surfaces of the turbocharger may come from several sources
        Turbo oil feed/drain line joints
        Turbo coolant drain/feed line joints
        Engine oil fill port drips
        Other engine sealing leaks above the turbocharger

    Any oil / coolant leaks from turbo connections / areas higher on the engine can be funneled through the vband making it look like the turbo itself is leaking. This is NOT an indication of a faulty turbocharger.

Turbo V-Band Clamp

    Oil with dye in it may appear under black light on the turbocharger as a bright yellow mark. The photo below shows a typical indication of oil on the external surface of the turbocharger from an oil feed line leak.  This is NOT an indication of a faulty turbocharger.

Same location on turbocharger under black light (upper left) and under normal light (lower right) circled in blue

Actions:

    Do NOT replace gasoline engine turbochargers for oil or coolant leaks without first following the appropriate diagnostic procedures within the Workshop Manual.

Overview of acceptable locations for oil or coolant on the internal surfaces of a gasoline engine turbocharger:

    A film of oil in the turbine or compressor housing is a normal byproduct of engine operation.
    Staining or wet oil / coolant drips may be present in the turbine outlet, compressor inlet, and compressor outlet.
    All these conditions are normal in a turbocharged engine and are NOT an indication of a faulty turbocharger.
