Thank you sir for getting the job done without removing the bumper cover. I dreaded removing my bumper cover because I have a push bar and I braced it with extra reinforcement and didnt want to undo all of that. Now if I can find that Promax A.C machine online I'd be a happy man!! Great video! Thank you!
Buy the selection of green Orings in a plastic box and match to what you have. Specified measurements are not made often and even then production is not precise. So you have to match by eye and feel. www.amazon.com/POVAST-Conditioning-Compressor-Seals-Ring/dp/B089XWSWWP/ref=asc_df_B089XWSWWP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=516555722597&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4115576599008037290&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008123&hvtargid=pla-1278257476533&th=1@@doccowin8236
The system fails and empties itself usually. You should seal the system after replacing all parts then pull a vacuum then refill. The old method of purging with refrigerant is illegal now.
In the video, I showed the location of the leakage. It is caused by an attachment point bracket which was slightly too lightweight and causes the coil to crack after enough vibration. Sad, Ford execs need to spend less time with executive "conferences" in Hawaii and more time in design meetings.
When the condenser is sealed at the factory, the barometric pressure there will usually be different, so when you open there could be some air escaping.
Aereanna, Ebay is an excellent source. I always get parts for these older cars that will keep them on the road. I have never owned a new car. Facebook binthere222@yahoo.com
I attach the link for one for $46 which I found today. And BTW the one I put on is still working fine and I bet will outlast the service time of the OEM original part. www.ebay.com/itm/186118116213?fits=Year%3A2010%7CModel%3AEscape%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item2b55811375:g:SfIAAOSwFolkpMb8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8J4zIAuyykBspSHOMqbY7i28VLN7bVxIQM2hc8Vq6v%2BLh8ftJzMzjq1mVAIq0QbqgCxcKJ6V3h%2Fgg%2BaLjCBZfi4B41tmuBp7xUjPwAE3Np9horJ1Nz2sFWFHoaGbuN67kkO%2F15hVLfPSxQiOu0tJuDrxu1Ut%2BPgKTUwl5BGOxpkVK30EUUrSncJHyyfraxdtMCYJgKwsBz%2BWOSSGZhe%2BeAmG8hjzlg6TtLKB1Cg0kwDhwlgBu4HkW4SKF6eQ5dsL%2FZM2iAwFv7qsGZ1r3j0prFmf8StyAEK4zgB47F7vwbvaK0IBwH09S7heh0lKQq%2F3Wg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6rtn_LlYg
Usually not but it is possible to look up the spec on each part and how much replacement oil it should take. The condenser might take 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce.
