great video!
hey man thanks to u i was able to troubleshoot and find out what was wrong with my car and only need to spend money on the part your awesome
God bless
Just want to say thank you for posting things like this. I’m a broke college student who is unable to take my car in to get serviced and this is exactly what is wrong with my vehicle. You really are helping me a ton with this info.
Thanku
thank you! my car sat for awhile because of a leaking PS pressure line. finally did it and i forgot my heater didnt work at idle. a little low on coolant but it was leaking once i topped it off. i just had all that crap out because doing that PS line is a pain in the butt. atleast i know how to do it now. just gotta find the OEM number. definitely not using a dorman part for that.
for my 2010 focus this was the part number the dealer gave me. 8S4Z-8K556-A still have not installed.
Fantastic! I was able to use this video for my 2012 Focus! The only trouble was to remove and put back the hose clamps... However, I found a video .
Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Will help greatly when I do this repair in a couple days.
Thanks a lot. No idea where to find a metal one? I read on some Reddit feed that someone found one. Then they never had that problem again.
I do not think they make one for this car.
I just want to thank you. I did this same job yesterday and did the install today. took almost all day to find this video. But once I found it. it made the job way easier. at first I thought it was that top freeze plug thing also then after watching your video I tore into it and sure enough the plastic was broke on the top edge and the rubber gasket had failed just like yours did. so Job done Wife is happy and she has 304.000 miles on our 2008 focus. going strong still. so far no leaks. thanks again. The part was 34.99 at Auto zone.
Happy wife, happy life. Thanks for watching
Thank you for this! You are a great life saver I really appreciate you taking the time to show us some knowledge!
Thank you a whole bunch man!!!!! I just lost my Oulet 2 days ago and had no idea where to start. You saved me a whole lot of time and trouble!!!
OMG you are a life saver
Great video…my 2012 lost all coolant and was very wet in the same area. I will be tearing into her next weekend on the same task here.
Wish me luck.
Its not that hard but a little cramped in there. Thanks for watching
Geez my sons car needs this and the garage charged $550🤦🏻♀️
Our computer connectors seem to be stuck, see the lever do we just pull, wiggle and pull or is there a trick? Don't want to break anything.
They can be very hard to get apart. But I do not remember witch one it has, sorry.
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore It is just lift lever wiggle and pull, lift lever more. Got it thanks!
Would a bad water outlet also cause pressure leak from under the radiator?
Its hard to say because the water could be traveling down the hose and making the radiator look like is leaking. But when the housing is leaking there is a puddle on the top of the transmission
Hello,
I have changed my thermostat and replaced cooling system with new coolant. I have spent lots of money already on coolant and thermostat. What steps can I take to fix the engine overheating? There is ample coolant now, but, the engine runs idle and there is very cold air blowing out. Heat only works when revving or accelerating. There might appear to be a very small leak, yet I cannot detect from where. The heat only comes on when I rev or accelerate. I am worried the engine will overheat eventually but I am just unsure what to do. Could it be the radiator or heater core? I don't see leaks by the water pump and I just do not know what to do anymore. I have no engine codes but I noticed the reservoir very slowly dissipate coolant. I added bar's leaks cooling system repair to radiator directly, very recently. I think there may be some sludge? Again, car heat only comes on when revving or accelerating and then is ice cold when idle. What do you suggest?
First you must make sure that it is full. I do not know why you change the thermostat but there could be another problem. Watch this video ua-cam.com/video/QY5cuYMnyMU/v-deo.html&lc=UgyTxRCR5wMPZgU_y594AaABAg You might have a bad water pump like this one but make sure that is is full and has a good radiator cap.
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore I see now there appears to be a leak by the radiator and lower hose. I think it could be coming from the water pump, and I feel the need to change that along with the hose and radiator.
Only question, did you use that 2nd gasket?
I do not remember. but I think I did not
do you have a part number?
No sorry I do not. Thanks for watching
We have a 2009 Fusion and a 2007 Mazda 6. Both use basically the same 2.3L engine. Our Fusion w/ 150k mi. recently started leaking from the water outlet, but it hit me that our Mazda with 200k has not leaked from there. I went and looked, and our Mazda's outlet is made of aluminum.
I think plastic should not be used in a engines cooling system. Thanks for watching
you are not lying when you say no plastic next to engines. I have had to replacet his piece twice. First time in June of this year and again today. The car ended up overheating on my son because the tensioner pulley broke and he had the car running while trying to get home and overheated and looks to have melted the dang thing..,
Hello, any idea why a car wouldn't start after this problem happened? I've replaced the part and everything is back to normal. I even swapped to a different good battery but it just clicks once and does not start. The car started once to get it on a tow truck then sat still at home for about a month until repaired.
Sounds like the starter is bad.
Thank you for the vid! A question: what is the name of that round hole/outlet with a sort of brownish plug (needs a huge alien key it seems to open it) right above the “rectangular “ outlet/hole you connect the new piece to?? You’re kind of pointing at it at 5:58 approximately. And why does it throws out water (in my car)? A huge thank you!!
I would say that is a casting plug for the cylinder head. But I bet that the housing I am removing is leaking on your car and spraying up into it making it look like its leaking. Unless its oil leaking then probably the plug. Thanks for watching
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore oh goodness that was silly of me to ask since now I understand that there’s oil behind that plug.. 🤦🏼♀️ in our case it’s water and it’s exactly what you said, thank you!
@@julianamargules325 OMG Juliana I literally had the exact same question. I can't believe I found this video after an entire day of reaserch. What did you end up doing?
Is there a bleed screw in that area to get the air out of the coolant system?
No I don't think so. Thanks for watching
Torque specs?
Water outlet housing 10Nm. Thanks for watching
Thank you! I have one question. My leak is coming from that exact spot but what is the circular hole you point to at 6:00 and is there any chance the leak is coming from that?
That is a freeze plug in that. But I bet that the housing is spraying up in there making it look like that is leaking. Thanks for watching
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore you nailed it man. Took me hours until I finally found this video. Can I pour coolant into the radiator and drive it to the shop that's 7 miles away or just tow it to be safe? Also, how many hours of labor is reasonable for the mechanic to charge me?
@@SweetandSourohmy To be safe I would tow it. You don't want to overheat it. I don't do the pricing here I just work on them so I have no idea how much it is. Thanks for watching
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore got lucky with the mechanic I took it too. He charged me 1.6 hours of labor, my clock was off by just over an hour obviously he unhooked the battery. $253 total including a couple new clamps and all new coolant/antifreeze. My 2010 Ford is running like a dream now. 👍
Good video. I removed and replaced this same part on a 2012 Fusion. If you take your time and remove and disconnect everything in the way first as you did the replacement is pretty easy if you put the bottom bypass hose on before you replace the inlet housing. The hardest part for me was getting the old hoses off. I did not remove the bypass hose until I removed the inlet housing. The part was $36.99 at Autozone. Duralast DL902-231. I think the part is made by Dorman. 10/2/20
Thanks for watching
Thanks a bunch for the part number
The water outlet looks like it has two eyes balls and one big mouth screaming who in the hell designed me.
Do you have the part number by chance? I’m asking for that at the auto parts and they don’t know what I’m talking about 😂
DORMAN 902231. You can get it from Rock Auto. Thanks for watching.
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore thanks, got it today, will install tomorrow, be around in case I need you 😁
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore successfully completed ✅ thanks a lot guy for the tutorial I appreciate it, it’s working good now no leaks nor heating 😁
@@juanpa980 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for watching
Did you ever find where the extra gasket went or was it not needed for the change?
That gasket must be for a different year. I did not use it. Thanks for watching
