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.

Correct bit to remove cover to access oil filter

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?

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. -
Flushing Anti-Freeze; Coolant & Hybrid Systems
Lacienega replied to Telerisk's topic in 2016 Ford C-MAX Hybrid
The inverter cooling system does not have a drain plug and you need to remove the hose close to the pump to drain it. I believe it only takes less than 1 quart of coolant. The engine radiator has a drain plug and something to connect a hose on to it for draining...so you don't spill the coolant all over the place. I don't know how much coolant you would need when you just drain and refill the radiator from the drain plug though. Anybody knows? -
20 psi is a lot...sometimes the valve could be leaking also if there is no puncture. I had that happen on another car and was able to tighten the valve and everything was OK

very good

Does the C max have a timing belt or chain? If it has a belt...when should it be changed?
-
How much do they charge for the transmission fluid change?

My front splash shield came off a few times (I believe from bumping into stuff while making a turn...this car is terrible with turns) and now all the screws or clips in the front are missing. I know in the back this is screwed on with tab screws like the other shield ...but I have no idea how this shield was connected to the bumper front side since I don't see any screw holes or U-Nuts. Anybody has a picture from the front underneath, or knows what screws or clips I need?
