2019 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost coolant flush with vacuum tool 

I hate being given a Time window I worked as a dealership mechanic I hate being under production time

So 1 hour of labor is what this would cost? Better to get it done instead of diy

You need to change the coolant once a year

@@OHHyaKnow Seems like an easy way to contaminate the system

I know with my 2017 model it's every 30k. It's also pink instead of orange for whatever reason.

The orange coolant was found to be corrosive which lead to early water pump failures. The orange coolant should be changed to the updated yellow or pink coolant ASAP.

I could not pull a vacuum on my 2018 edge 3.5. I could only drain about a gallon and a half at a time. Since i had 3 gallons concentrate of yellow i filled and Drained it 50 times . the color looked good in the tank . still good a couple of months later. the reason why it wouldn't drain is the engine outlet and inlet hose are at the same height next to each other.

@@ronvs4401 Just saw your comment. Rented a pressure tester from advance auto and found what appears to be a leak around at the underside seam at the overflow tank where the rectangular channel runs to the fill cap. According to Rock Auto it appears overflow tanks are a favorite part and so it might be a problem from the factory part.

When you drain the system it is only draining from the degas bottle and radiator, there will be some coolant still in the engine block as well. I would suggest 50/50 mix for your initial fill and use concentrate to top off

good video, how much pressure is needed, to be able to suck the coolant out of the system, the engine block has air left inside, and how it is removed.

@@bloqueoav I feel I need more clarity, if you wish to remove all of the old fluid from the system (without doing a removal of your radiator and water pump) you would need a machine to pull constant pressure while also adding coolant to the system while the engine is hot. (so the thermostat doesn’t get in the way)

@@aaron1576 How about taking out the thermostat and putting the hose back again then blowing some air to push all the old coolant out later when the system is empty we put it back in the thermostat and fill the system with new coolant?

@@d.e6430 if you have a bunch of time on your hands and are not getting paid to flush the system, then yes, you could certainly remove the thermostat from the engine to do a flush and then reinstall afterwards.

That’s rust.

These Ecoboost engines have loud fuel injectors. It’s normal.

Direct fuel injection and the rattling is the electric wastegate actuator washer. It gets hot quick so it stops rattling

I have it in my video

Only use the coolant recommended for your vehicle. Do not mix coolant colors AT ALL universal coolant is trash. Stay away from it
