Does it require any type of re-programming after the new pump is installed?

if the vacuum pump is bad it should be replaced under warranty.

if you are past the warranty period then perhaps it would be worth your time to do it yourself and save the money.

installing a new pump should not require reprogramming...

352100,

Would replacing the vacuum pump require a reprogramming of the truck's computer control?

I just had my 2011 Ecoboost in because of this noise. It is the vacuum pump, but the extended warranty will only cover it if it fails, not because it is noisy. My truck has 95k kms on it at the moment.

Thanks BunkerMan. I have learned that the part is not very hard to repair and is located directly behind the driver's side headlight.

I've recently run into the same problem. My truck started making that noise at about 34k miles and I brougt it into the dealership. They told me that it was all normal despite my arguing to the contrary. So low and behold, I bring it back to the same dealership at 39k and they tell me the vacuum pump now needs to be changed and its no longer in warranty. I tried talking to the service manager with no luck (i.e. He didn't return my calls) and am waiting for the regional service manager to call me after two calls into the ford customer service center. I always expected more from Ford based on service I had gotten in the past, but maybe I was wrong.

Welcome to the forum, Josh W. I'm Crystal, the Ford Service rep here; I want to do what I can to help. If you have your case number handy, send it to me in a PM and I'll research this further. If you don't, just send along your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership.

Crystal

Crystal,

Thank-you for the assistance. My Case # is: xxxx. As I mentioned, the Regional Service Manager is supposed to call me today, but I'm not holding my breath based on the service level I received (or didn't receive) from the local dealer's service manager.

Josh W

Hi Josh W,

I responded to your PM but wanted to touch base here, too. It looks like you and your regional customer service manager (CSM) were able to talk yesterday afternoon. It looks like things are headed in the right direction, but don't hesitate to send a PM my way if you need me to step in. Additionally, you may want to edit out your case number from your public post.

Crystal

Same noise, different location

Similar issue, but on the passenger side under the battery, anyone know of this?
