Finally got the front turbo replaced. This is what I found: Turbine wheel video Compressor wheel video Considering the massive play in the shaft, it's surprising that it worked as long as it did. The fins have been damaged by contact with the housing: New turbo from Ford: I found the oil...

Ok, thanks for the info, I'll remember it if the rear one goes bad. Got a front one coming tomorrow from a Ford dealer in Michigan. Didn't expect the turbos to be having issues at 99K miles; was hoping the technology got better on them from the ones in the past, but doesn't look like it. The...

I had no idea that there was any option aside from complete replacement of the entire unit; I'll have to check into that. Did you do the work yourself? How many miles on yours? Ever had your water pump replaced prior to the engine swap? Luckily, my engine is not showing any signs of internal...

Well, the dealer verified what I suspected; left side (front) turbo is bad. They quoted me $1060 for the turbo, and $650 for replacement of the catalytic converter on that side (due to it being internally soiled by the oil blow by). Add in the labor cost and the repair quote is $3200. My friend...

Peter, that's actually what I'm doing. They were going to give me a trade-in quote, but wanted a diagnosis of the problem first before committing to it. They stated that they would give me options after the service dept took a look at it. When I said that I couldn't find any related threads, I...

Thanks, Peter, for the info. I looked around as well and found the same price variation. It's already dropped off at the dealer and I dread hearing the repair quote. I talked to a friend who's a salesperson at this dealership and am prepared to trade it off as soon as it's fixed. I really like...

Was travelling on the interstate the other day when my 99k-mile Sport suddenly lost power and started making a loud noise under the hood when I'd accelerate. Managed to feather it back home, got in my shop and looked for any loose hoses. After 2 hours, couldn't find anything loose, so I fired...

Today, I got a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tires installed on my '14 Sport. They had decent reviews and Firestone Complete Auto Care had a sale on them. Cost was just over $1000 out the door. They seem to be doing great so far, but it's only been driven maybe 20 miles. Will report...

I'll soon need a set of tires on my '14 Sport and was trying to get an idea from this thread about which one would be the best choice. I was set on the Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (Ford dealer quoted $998.60 out the door), but I see some complaints here about excessive wear. Is that pretty much the...

Waited this long because I've got two other vehicles to drive, so decided to just be cautious and park it till I could get it fixed. Also, had 2100 other reasons for waiting.

Just following up to a post that I made back in December. My 2014 Sport w/94k miles was leaking coolant and I feared that the water pump was the culprit. Finally got to take it in to the local dealer last Thursday and they confirmed my worst fear; it was indeed a water pump leak. Was quoted...

That's what I thought too. The engine bay is so tight that it's difficult to see anything, so I may be way off base in my suspicions. Keeping fingers crossed that it's something simple. Thanks, Peter Oh yes, after reading through all 46 pages of this thread, I'm watching both like a hawk.

New member here. My 2014 Sport w/94k miles (that I've only owned a short time) has a coolant leak, which I fear may be coming from the water pump. I've looked around the area (above and underneath, using flashlight and mirror), but cannot physically find this weep hole. Could someone please post...
