2012 Ford Fusion 2.5L water pump replacement 

Thank you. Very helpful. Mechanic wanted to charge me 600 just for this. I will try to fix it tomorrow

Thanks man! 122k 2.5L went out in mine. I was homeless for a bit so idled mine more than i should have during the hot days. Im good now and replacing mine now as we speak. Best video on the net for this problem/fix

Thanks, doing mine tomorrow. Went out at 255k Miles. Those 2.5L Escapes are built well. First significant repair other than some suspension.

THANK GOD HE DID THIS STEP BY STEP I have to change mine today

You're a legend sir! Thanks

Hello from Temecula...Thanks for the video...I'll be following your instructions in the next few days.

2:15 Awesome video...That top idler pulley now makes sense to me, I have a 2012 2.5L Fusion, and depending on the date of production that year, the idler pulley bracket has a third bolt fastening it to the head. I have 3 bolts on my idler bracket, and when I ordered a new Motorcraft pulley (part# YS356), they included the third bolt in the package to secure it, since some brackets during production only used two bolts.

Thanks. Mine just went out tonite at like 356,000 miles. No shit. I’ll try to get it apart tomorrow.

Excellent video!!! Great job!!!👏👏👏 just what I needed to see. Thanks

This helped me immensely. Nice details so thank you very much

Your video helped me a lot thank you very much I didn't know how to get it until I saw your video really thanks you

Thank you!

Just incase anyone has a jack, the bottom bolt is 10x easier from the bottom! you can turn the wheel to the right and see where youre working with more room to wrench!

Atleast it's a regular external belt driven pump and not timing chain driven

Great video!

Parabéns mestre obrigado!

Awesome video

i used the $35 belt and it broke in just 6 months. I am now replacing it with the $55 belt.

Thank you so muchhh

Awesome video, going to replace one tomorrow! What coolant did you use? Looks like there’s dark green in ours.

Thanks

I've never personally had to ever take a timming chain off to change a water pump! Where have you seen that? I curious as to why you would even say that other then that say you did a fantastic job . No

I’ll attempt to do this

Bet you had problems putting the belt back on.

How difficult is this repair process?

have you unscrewed the oil cap and smelled it on any of the 2.5l and smell fuel really strong ?

After 6 days of trying, I'm out of options. My Escape is basically scrap metal with wheels because the damn water pump won't come out!

Only step you forgot was the power steering pump

Great informative video. Thank you
