@@KBradAdams That's weird. with everything connected, if you feel the pipes before entering the mixing valve you should feel hot in one side (CAUTION HOT) and the another pipe cold. If that's the case the issue will then will be your new mixing valve (likely a faulty unit, or it's not adjusted properly - but I'm leaning to the 1st case). What I meant by "it won't work" is by "removing the insides", it would just mix hot and cold water w/out any way to control it- so you would end up with a lukewarm mixture.

@@fast-wheels Oh That makes sense. Yeah both mixing valves produce the exact same temperatures when I adjust the top nut luke warm. I had 2 Plumbers who told me to reverse C to HOT and H to COLD or put the valve on backwards and it would bypass this but I did that and it did not work at all. I purchased a brand new valve and it does the exact same thing as the old one although this one is easier to adjust but still will not get passed luke warm water. I have another neighbor with the same issue, these are brand new town homes. The next thing I am going to do is try and adjust the red scald thing on the Faucet and see if it will allow me to adjust it at the faucet. I know there is an anti scald valve on that faucet but thought I had already turned it as high as it would go. Do you have any idea what would happen if I removed that red ring completely? Thanks again for the reply!
@fast-wheels9 ай бұрын
@@KBradAdams I can't see how just flipping the H to C would solve the problem... (unless the hot/cold bypass valve was stuck, but even then, not likely to solve the problem). Each mixing valve is different, so I'm not sure exactly how yours works. Other things to check include the water heater temperature setting, and at times, there are other anti-scald mixing vales in the shower/washrooms as well.

The o rings you have on the outside are the wrong ones. The check valve is actually supposed to sit inside and be flush, the thickness of the o ring you have is incorrect and should be much smaller.

It's always a good rule of thumb to match o-rings according to the original (although sometimes they thin out over time). I did play around with a few sizes as demonstrated in the video... and I'm glad to report that the mixing valve has worked well for over a year since this rebuild (so I can attest to this).

such a hard choice. i have been looking at both for months now. both cars are about $5k more than they are worth with current prices. Plus its really hard to find a MKZ with the luxury package and drivers package. The fusions can be tough to find one with heated and cooled seats with copilot 360. i think the make or break thing for most people is the fuel, MKZ takes premium. i have heard of a lot of people using regular which is kind of bad news. i think the revel system with the luxury package makes up for it though. Plus if you can find the drivers package its the same system from the focus RS.
@fast-wheels Жыл бұрын
I totally understand your hard time find a good Sport or 3.0 MKZ especially w the driver’s Sport pac and the lux pac… I was looking for a replacement for my Sport (lost in an accident) :( and couldn’t find one any closer than 8 hours from where I live and about $5k more than insurance was giving me :( Fortunately, because I was into the Sport, I knew what to look for on a MKZ… and was able to find it a 3.0 Reserve 2 a few hours away. It has the driver’s Sport pack, panoramic roof and it’s packed with all the safety, comfort and luxury equipment (basically a Black label minus the orange tan interior-but with the Sport pac black/white stripes and carbon fibre accent interior). Here’s what I learned from my experience owning both… the Canadian market Sports are all fully optioned… the extra power of the 3.0 (400 vs 325) makes a difference on how the car feels, however gas mileage is almost the same. Speaking about gas, both the 2.7 and 3.0 can use regular gas-as the computer tunes it down… it’s recommended to use good quality gas from a reputable station as they use additives that help with carbon buildup. A catch can should be added as well. I have a few videos of the Sport and the MKZ separately… I must say I love the MKZ for the extra power, pano roof and massage seats… but still miss my Sport-I loved that car. Good luck with your search! If you find either/or you won’t be disappointed!

Most Sport owners not only know all about but also love the MKZ 3.0tt... Most know that it has all good things of a FFS and it adds a bunch more to the platform--making it even better. It's interesting to notice that most car enthusiasts often don't know much about the Sport or MKZ 3.0tt... Both the Sport and MKZ's are not easily identifiable from their stable mates (unlike say the Focus RS, vrs ST or an SE for instance - which most folks can tell the diff right away)... In the Sport's case, there's only a few exterior (and not flashy body mods - e.g. front bumper, black grill, special wheels, badges, etc.), but at a first glance they look like any other (less powerful) Fusion model. The MKZ 3.0tt is even harder to tell apart (other than the rear 3.0 badge) as it shares it's styling with all other MKz's. A few clues are the darkened/charcoal grill and special wheels (but only if the car has the driver's package). Love them booth especially as "sleepers."

Something to try before you replace your battery and def do after you replace your battery (If you need to). Go to HD>Library>Preferences search for any file that has "power" in it and delete them. Mine had 4 on my 2010 Unibody and 3 on my 2012 MBP. Then restart your computer. Check your battery info. When you put a new battery in your Mac its important you do this step or it may have old info on the old battery being utilized. When I did this it fixed 2 of my Macbooks. They suddenly got better battery life and charged to almost full capacity. There is def some software bugs of sorts in Mac OS with the battery.

I like both designs... having first owned the 17 Sport and currently a 17 MKZ... in my opinion, the Sport has certainly a "sportier" design - we can see Mustang cues. If fact, the 2015 & up Mustang and Focus were certainly influenced by the Fusion design elements. The MKZ on the other hand, has a more luxury inspired design... (it's definitely more upscale looking with definite Jaguar, Mercedes & Audi cues).
