hey guys, just joined, and already my 1st post is a newbie question.
drove 2.5 hours Saturday to look at a 2012 awd mkz w/60000 miles, at a Lincoln dealership. BEAUTIFUL. They told me the PTU was being replaced under warranty. i didn't know what that was, so i got home, and visited mr. google.
now, i'm wavering on buying it, because i see some posts, and it seems this is an AWD model problem. is that correct? i've never even heard of a PTU. i know the part they replace is warrantied, but some people say their's continue to leak again. researching this led me down a rabbit hole where i discovered this car has an internal water pump, with a repair bill of 1500-2000. put some more fear in me, but that failure doesn't seem as common.
i'll probably end up buying it, because i love these cars, and they can be bought fairly cheap and in good shape, but just wondering about these maintenance issues.
thanks guys, love the site
