2012 ford ta**us 3.5 limited.
Customer complaints, engine noise, overheating issue.
Re-created customer complaint, checked oil, noticed a "milk shake" mixed up in the oil pan, as well as a terrible noise coming from engine while running.
Diagnosed as failed water pump, Timing included with repair.
These ford 3.5 engines are chain driven, INTERNAL water pumps are known to leak coolant into the oil pan after the water pump- to block- seals fail. Causing a milk shake in the oil pan.
The first sign is a coolant leak behind the alternator! If you have a ford with a 3.5 that has signs of coolant leak behind alternator, be ready to fix it right, the first time.
This was a $1600 job.
Satisfied customer.
