After 6 years of steadily replacing coolant hoses and regularly topping off coolant, my 2013 SE 1.6L is finally leak-free! It was a journey. Many of the hoses were redesigned for the 2014+, which explains a few things. Good luck, everyone!
Hey Leon! Thank you for the encouragement! I haven't done that video yet as our belt was replaced with the water pump and timing belt a while ago but I'm getting to the service point again soon probably. Are you looking to do yours?
Hah! Thank you! It has been a good go so far! Tried to be proactive with a lot of it. We used to have it immaculate but once we had kids it has become the babymobile :) floor liners are a life saver!
Helped Me A Ton As Always As I Noticed A Leak For Myself, I Also Have A p1450 Code For Purge Valve Can You Do An General Video Of How To Go About Replacing??
I'm 6 months late, but if he doesn't have a video there are good ones out there. I did it DIY myself and it's not too bad. Getting the valve off takes some muscle.
Have u ever found the right kit that has the right adapter or have to buy one separately I'm looking for one now for a customer's vehicle I always have this problem even after buying a master pressure cooling system tester 😑
Hey there- sorry for the delay in response- I found the leak at the outlet of the engine block near the TSTAT on our 1.6L engine and replaced the outlet flange/pipe myself. It was good for a while (since the video was posted really), but I once again have a leak - it's funny you ask about it at this point in time. I have a hunch it's the same area but I'm not sure. I'll share more if I can soon. Which parts have you replaced before??? Thanks for subscribing to the channel! I really appreciate your support!

It's just about due.

How much do you rent that for ?
I’m impressed with how many years you have had your Escape.

Did you end up fixing it yourself or did you have to take it in? I have a full on leak in about the same area. It has all been replaced before...
