Anybody else hear a grinding or buzzing noise on the driver's side?
Right after cold start, stepping on the brake, putting it in reverse?
Sounds like it's coming from under the air filter?
It's the vacuum pump.

Motorcraft Part # BRPV10
Amazon $339.71
RockAuto $341.79

Is this part covered under warranty?

I have a video. Look and listen.

I'm surprised Amazon sells any, being 4 grand higher than RA.

 

Sorry. That was a typo.

 

a bad vacuum pump should be covered under warranty...

... but is it bad or is that the normal noise? (I'm not sure)

 

My 2011 Ecoboost with 44,000 miles is making the same noise as that in the video clip. I believe my dad's 2012 Ecoboost with similar mileage is also making that noise. Does anyone know if there was a bad batch of these vacuum pumps, or is this something we're going to have to deal with every 40K miles due to a poor design?

 

Crap, that is loud.........

 

I have the same thing happening with my 2011. Thanks for posting this. Even my mechanic was wondering what the sound was. I'll be contacting the dealer now for sure.

 

I lost my brake system 5 time in two monts. After 2 first time they change thevacuum pump, the nex time time they change the brake booster. Problem still there and now after 2more time they don t sknow what to to. Even at ford they can t help me. Very good compagniy, it s very bad because they dont care.
I have a 2013 fx4 eb 30000 km. Be careful it s very dangerous, even if its under guarantie they cant repair it

 

Just so u guys know I just picked one up here in Canada for $180 at the dealer. Wonder why so much more in the USA

 

What dealer did you get it for $180 at?
Mines dinked again. Only has 23k km on the second one. First one had only 38k km on it.

 

We had the brake booster vacuum pump replaced at 16k miles (dealer under warranty) and now two years later at 65k needs replacing again. Can we rebuild in the backyard shop?

 

how to replace it if out of warranty! http://safeshare.tv/w/pHbRNeFGjQ

 

This pump needs a filter so salt dust from the road salt doesn't get into it. Poor Design and location in the truck!

 

Maybe we could move the location of the pump, higher up and enclose the pump completely with clean air drawn from the filtered engine air inlet. It looks as though the inlet air for these pumps comes from small holes in the end caps. Why would a designer ......? and get paid for it?

 

I just removed the culprit, can/cannot we operate the vehicle with the pump as removed? It could be extra parts?? and not really needed?

just my .02
