Great video, this really helped saved me a lot of headache. KZbin university, its a great place.

[@tonylashmit2613]

Just did mine today. I didn't have to take the fan wiring harness off the fan surround. I just undone the connectors that were mounted on the header panel ! Great video, wasn't hard to replace the radiator at all! 👍👍

[@7396p]

I just did this radiator replacement on a 2002 Focus in my driveway. Careful of the plastic mounting tabs they are delicate. Good description, take your time easy job!

[@1AAuto]

+Llyn Fulmer Thank you for your feedback! We are happy we could help.

[@stevendurbin7562]

Great job. Description of unplugging harnesses were very good to. Have always preferred 1A Auto instructions. Thank you for many great videos.

[@shawnebaby99]

That was an awesome video changing the Radiator. You made it look so easy. My friend suggested removing Radiator from top. Will share this video. Thank you so much. Working on cars can be frustrating if you don't know what your doing. Thanks so much A-1Auto

[@juanar.v3423]

thanks for information, from mexico city,

[@filjewell6725]

Need try this withhout a lift

متشکرم استاد محترم .

Easier to remove the bumper and the top frame on the engine make life much easier.

[@1AAuto]

+Fabien 1 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

[@islandbeaches395]

Doorman Bypass assortment coolant end caps part # 02253. Radiator did not come with a end cap for the top bleed port. I used a 3/8 end cap with hose clamp part # KE-6SS.

[@Fun4GA]

Freon isn't poisonous. It displaces oxygen, so you need to be in a well ventilated area (like outside or keep the bay door open) if it leaks... but it's not a poison.

[@Fun4GA]

Otherwise, I appreciate you and A1 Auto for posting this repair for us.

[@BeastmodeBeats]

The important thing it to let the car cool for some hours to reduce air pressure from causing severe injury when the coolant reservoir’s cap is loosened. My advice is to use a siphoning pump for your own safety

[@javiermelendez4512]

Thanks bro thumbs up, great video

[@cool7654321]

Damn thats a lot of work imma just buy a radiator and pay a mechanic 😂😂

[@nicoleouellette4066]

Yeah but then he charges you over 1000... at least mine wanted to (with the parts)

[@LA_Commander]

No, don't do that Muni, the labor cost is the biggest part of the job. You can get a good quality aftermarket radiator for a good price and just to the job yourself and save a TON of cash.

[@AaronWalske]

Will this be the same process for a 2008 ford focus 2.0l

[@filjewell6725]

Ever wander who assembles these cars

[@williamthomas8135]

Why the complicated refilling and burping at the end with the big funnel and funnel plug? Why not just add coolant to the water tank, let it circulate, check the final level, repeat as necessary?

[@robsnidarich7257]

You don't have to take off all those connectors from the fan, just the top plug from the main harness and the rest stays on the fan

[@jkjwf]

Would be nice to see a radiator removal/installation for a 2010 Mazda CX-9.

[@cool7654321]

Jeezus just replace the engine while you're at it 😂

[@Tilorsuarez]

Anyone know what the lower piping in front of the condenser is called? You see it at 16:06 looping left and right in front of it. I hit something on the highway that flex my bumper cover on my 2005 Focus so much it broke both L shape brackets holding it in place. I want to try to try find those brackets as the body shop want to charge me to replace that tubing. I already had it check out and nothing leaking or damage on the radiator or condenser so tubing's fine. Any help is appreciated.

[@LA_Commander]

TGS, those small lines at the very front of the AC condenser are the power steering cooling lines.

[@el.t-bull]

I have a 2001 and replaced the radiator. Before replacing, the car would overheat, but the fans worked fine and the ac engaged. After replacing, the car temp gauge never goes passed the middle, but now the fans dont kick on and the ac doesnt engage. I'm thinking i must have not connected something back so I tried to count the number of connectors in the video that were disconnect and i counted 5. Is there only 5? The 5 that i saw, i checked in my car and everything is secure and plugged in tightly. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[@ajcc9817]

Where do you fing replacement mount bushings for the ford focus

[@davidmiller5832]

Damn... Changing radio stations on a Ford Taurus would be a huge PITA

[@jobeblogs4539]

Where would you install the Cooling Fan Switch on this unit?

[@henryford7305]

I want to know about that light he is using.

[@pedrobolmen7352]

Good job

+pedro bolmen Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com

[@twothreeactual9254]

Yeeeaaaaa… here take my 400 for used parts and labor

[@lawrencehill4680]

Is 2006 virtually the same procedure?

[@1AAuto]

+Lawrence Hill Thanks for checking us out! Yes, this will be nearly the same for the 2006 year. 1aauto.com

[@lawrencehill4680]

@@1AAuto okay. I look at my radiator and I'm not seeing the upper hose like in the video.

[@michaelangelogonzales6492]

Lol changing your radiator on a ford focus is like preparing for an engine swap smh 🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

[@cool7654321]

LMAO RIGHT

[@elporkchopexpress4219]

Is there a major difference between a 2007 model and a 2009 thanks

[@1AAuto]

+ElPorkChopExpress There will be a considerable difference as the body style did change. 1aauto.com

[@Abelcruz162]

Would it be around the same thing for a 2008 ford fusion??

[@1AAuto]

+Abel Cruz It will be a similar procedure, but at this time we currently do not have this install video for a 2008. Thanks for checking us out!

[@warrennash6663]

Not the same as my 2006 focus. They changed mid 2005.

[@oopaiyx6x]

Okay, so... 33:38, this dude cant figure out that the hose sits in the bracket he just clipped on. Everything was over explained. Very unprepared prior to making it

[@1AAuto]

+Libra Decisions Thanks for the feedback!

[@shawnebaby99]

That video was excellent I understood everything clearly thank you. Keep making videos the way you've been doing it. Haters always want to hate.

[@BeastmodeBeats]

Do not do this Coolant is dangerous at hot temperatures and he did not advise you that you can burn your damn face off, use a siphoning pump to pump coolant from the coolant reservoir. Safe bet.

[@1AAuto]

+Prefer Not To Say Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

[@nicoleouellette4066]

Well only if the engine was hot. I'm assuming if you're working on your vehicle you are smart enough to do it when it's cold.

[@jerrettoakes8435]

Right lol just common sense

[@GiovaniCapitanio]

Complex car! very bad very bad
