2012 New Ford Explorer

[dragonexplorer]

Got two notices from FORD Philippines: 1 for the MFT/SYNC Update and 1 for Fuel Delivery Module Recall. Already scheduled at FORD Alabang on September 21st para sabay na sa 20k PMS. 10K pa lang natatakbo ng EXPLORER ko.

Thanks bro. That's what i also thought of as my other cars don;t have the same manifestation. I will monitor and let's see what it will come up to.

Bro, did you have the TSB for the coolant and radiator done? If so, then CASA might have filled up insufficiently at the time after being flushed. I noticed mine was below the minimum level after they did the TSB but after they topped it up it was ok.

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to the club

You can buy the fuel tank cap from your dealer. I bought one for my Explo.

Can't comment on your question coz the early batches doesn't have the dvd headrest

Seem like your right. It was done together with the TSB on the exhaust fumes. Earlier, when i opened the cap cover, the coolant level rised up to the max line. At any rate, i still added coolant up to the black side just to make sure. So far, no more reduction of coolant. Will run some more monitoring check.

Has any body tried Lifting or changing the tire size to increase the height on their explorer?

You need a leveling kit for EX. My leveling kit just arrived today. 100% bolt on and design for our Explorer. Ordered the front only. It will lift 1.25" front. It was shipped thru DHL.

This week my set of 22" Ford OEM wheels will arrive thru Fedex naman. By then will have a better stance.

3ple4 - Hobby ko lang talaga to mods cars and SUV's. Thanks...

I just don't like how the Explorer stands. Di pantay ang rear and front fender tires.

I believe your the first to have the battery changed since your one of the first to have this model. So what battery did you replaced with, pwede ba Motolite?

Motolite is a good battery. The EX battery are different kasi mababa siya and I've ask before and it's more expensive than the common battery. What I did is that I attached an automatic battery charger in the car if not in use for a long time.

didn't replace my battery, called ford global to make sure and they advice me to bring it in so they could check it first before i replace anything. and luckily i did because they will replace the battery free of charge since kasama daw sa warranty ang battery. will pick up the car tomorrow.

Did you follow the 5,000 km/6 month PMS whichever comes first policy para hindi ma-void yung warranty mo? I don't think makakakuha ako ng free battery replacement kasi 1 year 9 months na ang Explo ko, 6,500 km pa lang ang tinatakbo
