I have cam phaser issue :(

Gumby said:

Just had mine done last week. They replaced 2 intake and 2 exhaust VCT phasers. Then had to do another oil change as there was coolant contaminating the oil. Some parts were backordered so it took 4 days! Just squeaked in under the powertrain warranty. I was at 99,891 kms lol.

I’m not a mechanic but how did the coolant get into the oil? Was it due to the repairs or is something else going on?

Who ever 'designed' this should be shot.

The water pump is inside the front cover, lets hope we dont have a water pump failure, that would destroy the engine if not caught quickly. The problem is, that we will not see the antizreeze leak on the ground for us to see, it would leak into the oil pan. Imo dumb design, we all know how long water pumps last! To change a water pump on this would be a nightmare. The timing chains have to come off, you need special tools to hold the cam shafts. Ugh what a mess and time consuming. Water pump on my mountaineer took 45 mins.

Any ways, I am guessing some fluid dripped down the block and into the oil pan.

Hopefully that the case.

Do you drive a flex? The Expy has a 3.5l EcoBoost. Unless they have changed something it doesn’t look to bad.
