Hi all!

First time poster here.

I have a 2009 V6 Pony Premium Stang. Low miles, only 45K and it has been rock solid ever since I purchased it new almost 10 years ago. I have been doing oil changes and tire rotations on schedule (Always at a Ford dealership) and the only major repair made so far were new tires from them being about 7 years old at the time. I don't drive it very rough.

I had a check engine light come on around the same time as a scheduled oil change and the dealership told me this:

- Engine light was caused by the fuel purge valve. Needs replacing. Roughly $500 with parts and labor. (After taking it back to bring back at a later date, the check engine light never came back on)
- Said I needed a new fuel filter $150
- New brakes at around 400 for all 4 (This I figured I needed soon as hell, its been 10 years)
- Break line flushed.

Any input on these repairs? Car runs great and like I said, the check engine light has not come back on.

THANKS!

Don't know what you want, should you replace the purge valve or not? If the CEL is off,
then no. I had the same issue with an HHR I had. I smacked it with a box wrench
a few times, reset the CEL, never came back on, sold the car...

$400 for brakes? $100.00 do it yourself, that's a lot for pads...

BRAKE (not Break, like a lunch break), flush, just need the tools, I did mine this
past summer. Got the stuff on eBay, cheap...

Fuel filter, just the cost of the filter, a 10mm socket, and getting under the car... It's
under a black cover, below the driver side seat area...

Awesome thanks for the info!

When you say CEL is off? What do you mean by that?
For the fuel filter. Is it just a matter of disconnecting, reconnecting and bam good to go?

Thanks again for the great info!
