So a few weeks ago my 2020 started throwing the check engine light, running rough and diminished power. In the preceding days I had heard some rattling at startup and wondered if it was cam phasers. Well, it was. Took it in and they replaced them.
I've had the truck about 2 years. I could swear I've never heard the turbo blowoff when letting off the accelerator. Now it is a very distinctive PSHHHH that I hear whenever I let off the throttle under medium to full throttle. I pretty much don't drive under medium throttle so I hear it all the time. I'm not complaining, but it wasn't there before. I mean, I know that the waste gate opens and blows off pressure, but never in 2 years have I heard it. Even when going full throttle and letting off. Just weird to start hearing it now. Any ideas?
More to the story of the repair. They called and said it was ready so I went to pick it up. The service writer goes to pull it around and before he gets back my phone lights up and the Ford app is telling me I have a check engine light. Guy pulls up and I said "do you have a check engine light?". He says "nah, you're good to go". I said, check again. Yep, light is on. So, in the original repair paperwork I noticed that it said during disassembly the tech found the timing chain idler(do I have that right?) in pieces. So, they replaced that, but not the chain. So, they took it back in and tech says we gotta replace the timing chain. I was like "really. you had the whole thing apart, saw the broken idler and didn't change the $200 chain???" So, back in the shop for a week. Anyways. That's the story.
As I was dropping it off the first time, a guy walked in behind me and I overheard him say that his truck was now overheating after the cam phaser replacement.
