Thank you for the video. This helped me feel confident to proceed doing this. I never thought of changing the thermostat as preventative maintenance.

You are welcome! Good luck with your repair!

So to remove the thermostat ,you were able to get to bolts and all without removing the serpentine belt and top pulley?

@Rbenterprises4 7 месяцев назад

You had great camera views of the thermostat housing on the 2.5 liter! On my 2016 Escape I was able to access and remove the thermostat housing and hoses from the top, and pry off the lower radiator hose (held on with a clip to its’ plastic end with orings inside!) and flush the system. Thanks for the clear video!

Just to help the new guy out I just did this When you reinstall the radiator cap at the bottom you start threading then you push it in it pops in Also you need some lub or Spray plus a flat head screw driver to insert and loosing around the horses Plus radiator clamp tools Thank me later

What was the thermostat bolts torque???

@SamFlo22 Месяц назад

mine lasted 7 years on my 2017 s model ford fusion. it started leaking from the thermostat housing. The leak was very slow but going fast on the freeway eventually all the coolant leaked out under pressure.

What size of pvc tube/hose you're used on radiator drain bung???

@justdoityourself 3 года назад

@modracer55 Год назад

Nice work getting ready to do a 13 fusion myself I noticed you didn't do a flush isn't that standard when changing out the old coolant??

@marcusanthony470 Год назад

Don't ever do flushes unless the vehicle has low mileage

@marcusanthony470 Год назад

That goes for coolant and oil just drain and fill

@justdoityourself Год назад

As it was mentioned already, a flush is done under pressure and often forces fluid to travel the direction it usually does not, so that can cause particles and debris to get loose and cause the problem.

@Jaczunio Год назад

Hello ! Ford Fusion 2016 2.5 I connected the computer to the car, the engine themperature shows 99 degrees Celsius, the fan turns on every now and then. is it a broken thermostat?

@justdoityourself Год назад

With 99 C the fan should bo on all the time. Basically the fan should kick in after 90 C. Could be air in a system or thermostat is opening too late.

@bobomomo3764 2 года назад

Do i need to remove the big cover underneath the engine? in your case it was already removed 0:12 It looks like I need to remove it 🤕

@justdoityourself 2 года назад

Yes. I believe it sits on top of that plastic shield.

@josephdelorenzo351 2 месяца назад

A couple questions. Is the location of the drain valve the same on my 1.5L 2019 ford fusion se? and I've seen people run water to flush out system so is that something that needs to be done, or no? my car has 67k miles on it but I'm at the lifespan of coolant, I guess. Oh, and I live in Florida if that matters.

@justdoityourself 2 месяца назад

Good questions. Unfortunately I don't know for sure where is a drain valve on 2019, but in 90% of all vehicles it is on the drive side. Do not put water in the system, unless it got contaminated with something and you need to run water to wash it off. Water will dilute your new coolant and it will be difficult to get to the proper concentration.

@keithmahler4236 Месяц назад

Looked like you left the drain plug in and let it leak from the side of it into 3/8 hose is that correct ? Didnt really see how you bled it did i miss something? My boys got a 2019 and temp light comes on with code for coolant temp sensor already changed it and its not overheating so iassume the thermostat is sticking open thanks for any help sir

@justdoityourself Месяц назад

Yes, plug has to stay in, otherwise the fluid will not go into the hose. I didn't have to bleed the system, other than properly fill the system with coolant.

Hey bud what’s the type of coolant you need my just hit 100 k miles just noticed my needle going high way Cant find my car Manuel. It’s the same 2.5 engine fusion sr 2014

@justdoityourself 3 года назад

Very good question. I have spent lot of time trying to figure out what coolant can be used. And the answer is Prestone (all vehicles) coolant. You can by premixed or concentrate. I always by concentrate and mix it with distilled water at 60% coolant 40% water.

@jonoxthomascito6516 3 года назад

Yeah I got the information finally it’s Ford official coolant or any type vehicle coolant orange etc

@marcusanthony470 Год назад

Orange is trash yellow peak is the best eha free

@pierreverdoni 3 года назад

Why are emptying the coolant inside the alternator?? why not put a plastic bag??

@justdoityourself 3 года назад

Absolutely a great point! Was doing this first time on this engine, so didn't expect such a big dump of coolant. Thanks for the comment!

@Rocksteady713 11 месяцев назад

Few questions? You can pour coolant in while the engine is runnning? Also my radiator cap says green but at autozone they said the gold works just as well. I’ve drained my coolant and replaced my water outlet gasket but the car is still running hot so this is my next suspect

@justdoityourself 11 месяцев назад

After initial fill up you should start the engine and keep filling up. Color is just an additive and has no impact. Just use a good quality concrete and distill water mix. Does your radiator gets hot? If not replace the thermostat.

@guardianhollow 10 месяцев назад

I did exactly this step by step and coolant is not keeping cool. Pressure and heat keep pushing coolant out of my radiator 😂 well guess it's not the thermostat

How much coolant did you need when filling it back up

@justdoityourself Год назад

I believe around 5L.

@clemensstepho411 Год назад

Is it the same procedure for the 1.5L Fusion?

@justdoityourself Год назад

In general procedure is very simple on all vehicles. I haven't touched 1.5l fusion, but cannot imagine it being very different.

my drain plug didn't allow drainage. I turned it a little bit then I started turning it all the way around multiple times and it still didn't work. any ideas?

Please try pulling it a bit out while you turning it counter clockwise.

@@justdoityourself thanks for the reply. I'll try again tomorrow. I don't have a jack so I had to do it all while on the ground. Reaching the under covers by feel was very time consuming and tiring that I lost hope when the drain plug didn't release the coolant.

@justdoityourself Год назад

@@anotherone3957 there is also a chance that drain valve for plugged. If that's the case you will need to disconnect lower radiator hose to drain the coolant.

Ford did a sorry job of making the radiator drain accessible on this car. Its hard to access and loosen, hence why that part was skipped in this video.

Just a regular Ford complexity, haha. It was not too difficult to get it opened with a pliers. It is shown in the video.

All modern vehicles are shit. Made incredibly difficult to work on to discourage you from doing it so you get robbed at the dealershit and 9 out of 10 times they don't even fix it, not to mention built with shitty materials. For example the heater hose right in front of the thermostat has a Y that's made of plastic. Guaranteed to rupture and leak
