I've been trying to find this trim on ebay but all I can find it the cup holder part itself!

What sealant did you use, may I ask?

@@bacsolo3719 Don't need sealant. The o-ring is all that's required to keep it water tight and as long as you refit the factory circle clips around the joins you won't have issues. I have done many of these repairs.

@schmick63 Thanks, I've used (id NBR70 18mm inner x 2mm cross section), fits well, but I can still see the pipe isn't fully closed flush. I've already put a sealant on. But those clips are lose? Why?

@@bacsolo3719 The clips won't fit and secure unless the 2 pipe ends are 100% together.

@schmick63 Ta, thanks for. I'm able to connect the pipes together 100%, but due to me forcing the top pipe up to be disconnected, the top pipe won't fully stay in position when assembled. Thus, the gaps. If it leaks again, I might try putting a coolant pipe over it and claim it down on both ends. The oring fit perfectly, but we'll wait and see. Thanks for the suggestion and the quick reply.

Just find a technician who is well skilled in electronics that can really troubleshoot and fix. My technician from an accredited service repairer was an old school fridge tech and not skillful enough. Three times he visited and diagnosed my fridge and every time he would call his helpline and then will say ok the compressor needs replacement. Next visit compressor was installed and still not cooling gave us a new blink code i can’t remember but it points to motherboard replacement. I gave a go signal and after a week came back with a new board but still the same issue and now telling me the display board is a problem that needs replacement. He then installed back the old motherboard and said it’s good and just observe if it will cool. I just waited for him to go and never called them again. I suffered three weeks without fridge for his incompetence. I only paid the call in fee on the first visit cause I’ve accepted the terms but no more other than that. Next few days I searched for a fridge sale a bought a bnew and i gave the old one to the delivery guys for proper disposal. Take note the old one has a brand new compressor installed by the incompetent tech. It was under warranty from lg so parts is free but labour is not but I didn’t pay him cause he never fix the problem.

@billeh3511. Sorry if it wasn’t filmed when I was doing that part. It was really very tight space and I don’t have someone with me to hold the phone to video it. I never thought it would be viewed by many. Anyway, the steps would be to disconnect the heater hose from the engine bay near the firewall. Doing this will give you the room to wiggle the aluminum pipe towards to the firewall when you are separating the two pipes inside the car. The other pipe connected to the heater core should not be moved or wiggled so much to avoid damaging the heater core. I have detailed explanations in some of my replies here If you could search. Thanks

Just a snug fit feel. It’s a plastic threaded so don’t be crazy tightening it. If it leaks just give a slight turn using a needle nose pliers Cheers!

You can’t buy it during that time here in Aus. Ford don’t sell it and they will offer you a new assembly updated heater core unit without this connection. You can’t either buy it from auto parts here. Even from bay you can’t buy. Only last year I was able to see ebay is selling it now. But for sure my fix will last longer if you put it back with o ring and plastic clamp.

Based on my measurement it’s about 19mm. I saw it on ebay $60 plus shipping. It comes in two o rings and 2 plastic clips. Heater core coolant pipe seal O-rings and clips. Seller lewim19 (852). Has a 100% positive feedback.

@@chrispolobatangueno3667 thank you for the speedy reply 👍👍👍

My car had issues again a month ago after Ford replaced the TCM under recall. It will be two years this March after the tcm replacement but I’ve been hearing loud skipping noise since I have a scanner it gives me a fault which says clutch 2 stuck engaged. I consulted to a transmission expert and quoted me a replacement of clutch assembly kit including shift forks and input shaft seals. You might be asking why I didn’t bring it to Ford it’s because I don’t trust them anymore. This time I’m willing to pay for the repair but I will give my money to a mechanic who can really fix my car. Hope this one will help you.

Sorry I am not really good in editing and newbie in my Chanel. I thought putting music in my video will make it less boring and I was just using my phone plus I am not feeling well during that time. Anyway, thanks for the feedback and hopefully I can improve in my next video. Thank you for watching and hope this video help you a bit.
