Ford Edge - Noise and loss of power during acceleration phase

With this repair job, the customer complains that a humming noise can be heard during acceleration accompanied by a loss of power.

In this case, the cause of the above problem is a leak in the hose connection between the turbocharger and the intake air flap actuator, also called intake air damper.

Check the entire air supply system from the air filter to the engine for any kind of leakage. If no further damage can be detected, replace the intake air hose connection between the turbocharger and the intake air damper (OE part number: 2414667).

• Dismantle the air filter housing and the air intake pipe.
• Remove the hose (see Fig. 1) between the turbocharger and the intake air damper.
• Check connection openings and surfaces (turbocharger and intake air actuator) for contamination / damage and clean and repair if necessary.
• Fit the new hose and check that it is correctly seated.
• Refit the air filter housing and also the air intake pipe. 

Finally a test drive should be performed in order to run checks on the repair work.
