Hi: very useful! You can get it about anywhere auto tools/parts are sold.

There is a plastic connector on the longest hose. I don't recall a plastic O ring. The plastic connector can be replaced with a bronze one of the same size.

Hi; Here are some of the numbers: KH-125 Heater Hose KH-134 Heater Hose YL8Z-6C658-A Hose YL8Z-18C553-HG Hose I hope this helps. JP

I have no idea. Sorry.

@@manflaco don't worry, thanks for answering.

If your transmission is pretty torn up changing that fluid will take out all the bits and shards of metal that actually help it bite and continue to run unfortunately it means your trannys probably shot

Okay I just saw how long ago you asked this question my bad

Leo: Check below on my replies. Most of the hoses must be purchased directly from a Ford parts supplier.

Joon kinloch Hi: I bought it used for my daughter back in 2003. It is a 2001 model and right now it has 145k miles. Been a good investment, taking into consideration that I personally do all its maintenance. This V6 engine is a Ford german-made unit. Very reliable. At one point I bought 5 Ford Escape units for my business (same thing mechanically as the Mazda), and 4 are still running. One was totaled on a accident.

Jean P. Rochet Thank you so much looking to purchase a used one to do delivery Courier work!

Samson Yaulashvili not sure, but an oil change is a good and cheap try for solving the problem before going the expensive route of overhauling the transmission.

Thanks for your comment. JP

HELLIHIGH: Hi, if the measuring stick indicates full (cold or hot), don’t add any more fluid.

@@manflaco im sure it needs some tho cuz when i took the tranny pan off it drained about 2 quarts i havent started it yet cuz of this dilema and i dont have the right engine coolant to top off what came out of my radiator.

I dont want to start it if the fluids arent correct ya know.plus does it matter at all if i just use regular transmission fluid or does it absolutely need a specific kind

HELLIHIGH I always use Motorcraft Mercon V or better. Go ahead and start the engine. That way the transmission pump will normalize the fluid level and then you can take a good measurement of the fluid. I’m talking of about 10 seconds.

@@manflaco ok ill get back to you if i need to thankyou for your help

Kevin Jones I bought mine from a Ford Auto Parts dealer here in Puerto Rico (same as Escape 2003).

Order it from Amazon.

Mazda tributes/Ford escape share the same parts.

If you mean "liters", do two 3.79L frushes for a total of 7.57L

I guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?

@Paxton Orlando Flixportal :)

@David Mark thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!

@Paxton Orlando no problem =)

Hola Nichbeth: yo lo ordené directamente en www.quickjack.com/ Lo envían gratis hasta Jacksonville Florida y de ahí hay que embacarlo por flete marino hasta PR ($150). Pero me acabo de enterar que esta semana lo tiene Costco por $1,000 Vale la pena y no tienes que pasar por todo el proceso de embarque. Suerte y saludos!

Hola Alexander: La gente de Quick Jack lo envían desde su almacén hasta Jacksonville en Florida incluído en el precio. Yo utilicé localmente a Caribbean Express en Puerto Rico para traerlo desde Jacksonville hasta San Juan por creo que fueron $150.00 Ellos lo que necesitan saber es el cubicaje y peso (esa info. te la da Quick Jack). A eso tienes que añadirle el 10.5% que hay que pagarle a Hacienda. La verdad te digo que es tremenda inversión. Tengo 5 autos y me resuelve un montón y sobre todo, no ocupa espacio cuando no lo utilizas. Saludos. Caribbean Express (787) 783-2820 Lydia López.

Se me olvidaba incluir el site: www.quickjack.com/

Excelente.. muy agradecido por la información

@@alexandertorres726 Hola: me acabo de enterar que esta semana lo tiene Costco en PR por $1,000

there is a little clip holding the clamp open is it to make install easier?

To be honest, I removed/installed that hose with the pump out. Is much easier.

Yes, the clip on the new hose clamp is to hold it open until ready to be installed.

If you are talking about the one that goes on top of the engine block, that's a pain in the behind to get out ! I also had to struggle to get it out. Check the video again: I used a small long nose pressure pliers to open the clamp that holds it. Good luck.

You have to look well into the center right side of the engine block, under the MAF connection point. Is way down there, a round plastic connector with a screen on the tip. Use a good flashlight, you will find it.

Those V6 engines are known for having leaks on the intake runner silicone seals. They should be replaced after 60-80K+ miles. The symptom is rough idle at cold starts that improves after the engine gets to operating temp. Be aware that there are seals above and under the intake manifold separator. Many people change only the upper ones and forget about the lower ones. If you do the above, change all spark plugs (anyway you will need to remove the intake manifold to replace the three plugs on the rear of the engine). Also try Techron gas treatment and fuel filter replacement.

Jean P. Rochet I bad oil in 2 plugs well when mechanic chafed plugs I had manifold gaskets upper and lower he didn't replace for me because said may need to do I think engine gasket or whatever he said also ran scanner no codes. But I think I'll replace manifold gaskets asap because 140 miles on full tank is ridiculously low to me. got 210 one weekend in a highway trip then next weekend on reg driving city with some a.c usage 140. before he cleaned throttle body had 170 180reg city driving. so something is wrong. And I hate the fact I get low miles. wanna improve that but if it's them gaskets I'll try that. ask I i mention changed valve. meant egr valve. But I'm next owner after the egr was changed may be it's worn and needs replacement. plus read pvc but that's for emissions but if will help gas miles then I'll change too but if won't help then won't. jist asking for tips to improves mpg. thank you for the feedback

Jean P. Rochet I did fuel filter previous owner must have never changed it was rusty and leaking. replaced less than a year ago. how often should I change. plus only out about 2 thousand miles on it since got it.

Check the status of the catalytic converter (many videos on YT on this). I've seen clogged catalytics giving you that same result.

Check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKnaIekjJmCbLs

On mine is 8mm. Maybe is 10mm on yours.

Chris p: I'm not sure what switch you are talking about. Is you SUV a V6 or a 4 cylinder model? The one I worked on this video is the V6 model. If you can, please send a picture of the "switch". Jean

Saab Aero: sometimes is easier said than done. What I can tell you is that the other video skips some important steps in the process. Try it yourself and then let us know your comments. On the other hand, please be aware that you only replace the front half of the pump if your are 100% sure that the other half is in very good shape. If the engine did have a previous overheat event, don't do it. Is not worth the small savings. Thanks.

Juan Carlos Martinez-Sanchez , thanks for your comments. Strange, the replacement pump I used is Ford/Mazda original replacement. Remember: mechanically all Escapes and Tributes of the same years are the same.

Saab Aero: Yes, I would recommend taking the pump off. Is too cumbersome and tight to split the pump, although not impossible.

Thanks.

Jim: Thanks for you comment. This type of jobs are difficult by themselves; handling a camera also complicates things, but since I didn't found any videos at the time about removing the water pump, I decided to do one.

Hi whatupfuch: I tried to get those hoses via internet and wasn't lucky. You need to go to a local Ford parts dealer and find them. There are 7 hoses in total. Here are a couple I found on my invoices...(sory, I don't have all of them). XS2Z-8A577-AB SHORT HOSE XS2Z-8A567-AA HOSE The above two hoses go to the pump and plastic manifold. You need to get the other ones that go to a plastic hose manifold that sits besides the pump. Your dealer should be able to show them on the Ford parts diagram. The lower one I show on the video, goes from the pump to the block (front side). It changes depending if you SUV has oil cooler or not. My doesn't. Try to have your VIN number handy. Hope this helps. JP

Good news! I found the info you were looking... These are the other hoses I bought: KH-125 Heater Hose KH-134 Heater Hose YL8Z-6C658-A Hose YL8Z-18C553-HG Hose I hope this helps. JP

+Jean P. Rochet thank you for your help

how much total for all parts? buy motor craft or other brand in sure motor craft better but is it that serious to get motor craft?
