Hi, it's a 2014 SEL and has 150 k miles now, but the leak was noticeable already for many years. I changed the coolant and transmission fluid recently myself. I just don't understand how it get's out since there is no high pressure in the inverter coolant system and I never overfilled it. I never saw the level all the way to the top after a long drive when it should be really hot
-
good idea, i will try that
-
This is how it looks every week. I don't think the inverter coolant is under pressure, so how does this come out?
-
Why did you disconnect the 12v battery? I'm surprised you can drive it like that...I thought you will need the 12v battery in order to start the car
-
looks like the coolant drain plug is leaking or not tight enough. I would try to tighten it and see if it stops leaking, also check the coolant reservoir to make sure it's not below the MIN mark and add if necessary.

Just in case someone still needs to know where the jack points are on the cmax...
-
My inverter coolant reservoir is leaking from the cap. Is this a known problem? I constantly have some coolant coming out off the cap and have to add once in a while.

Just did my transmission fluid change at 148k miles and also got only 3.5L out of it, but had to fill it with 4.5L until it ran out of the level hole. (car was leveled) I wonder if it was low before ...but I don't see any leakage.

The delay of the TPMS trigger cost me a lot of money. Had a Nail in my tire and went on the freeway...not knowing I lost air apparently pretty quickly, I came to a point where my tire blew beyond repair. And since there is no spare tire I had to wait for a tow truck at night. Later found out, even with a spare tire I would have been stuck because the lug nuts were swollen and I had to destroy them to get them off.

This is what I used for the last 4 years

Correct bit to remove cover to access oil filter

Torx T30 -
The print from my engine start stop button is not readable anymore...guess we pushed it too hard? Did anyone replace the cover of this button yet? I saw some replacement covers online...is it an easy fix. I know it's not very important, just a cosmetic fix. On the photo it just started to come off, it looks worse now.

What size of tube will fit good into the fill hole?
-
Do you get a message when the tpms sensor need batteries?

it's right here on the page 1 of this post

Wow $15k with a big dent in the rear fender -
Buying used 2016 ( 1 Efficiency leaf ) ?
Lacienega replied to Victor82's topic in General Discussion
The Leafs are just a fun gimmick to teach you how to drive efficiently, and they change pretty much every time you drive the car. Probably the dealer didn't drive it very efficiently for the last few miles. -
Any maintenance for C-MAX transmission?
Lacienega replied to webcontrol's topic in General Discussion
here is a picture from the fill plug location. I.ve heard you need a Allen wrench for it and remove the plastic cover first -
Did you access the fill plug from the top or from underneath? According to ford you have to remove the air cleaner, air cleaner outlet pipe and cowl panel in order to get to it?

Flushing Anti-Freeze; Coolant & Hybrid Systems
Lacienega replied to Telerisk's topic in 2016 Ford C-MAX Hybrid
I know, I already saw that. But that is the total amount of coolant if you could get your system completely empty. I don't think from the drain plug you would get everything out. Just a drain and refill amount, not a complete flush.
