2008-2012 Ford Escape 2.3L THERMOSTAT Replacement ( P0128 Fix )

[@jgb5814]

would this be the same way for 2011 ford escape 2.5 motor

[@faronwatts4048]

Thanks for making the video, I have to change mine tomorrow!

[@BrianBalatbat]

No problem!

[@jgb5814]

I have a warm motor ,top hose warm , bottom hose cold , blowing cold air inside car instead of warm air ! What’s the problem????

[@TheSmileyTek]

Drain all the coolant?

[@mummaistvan7320]

Is this the same for 2009’Ford escape 3.0l?

[@luishinojosa5635]

Do you have part number?? I found at amazon rt1194 and rt1193 motorcraft. Dont know which one is correct. Thanks BR

[@sammyat56]

Thank you for the video. Any reason why you changed the whole housing vs just the thermostat? I just watched your video- but already purchased only the thermostat and the ring type gasket. I have a 2012 escape six cylinders. What I'm missing?

[@lee956rgv6]

Probably because it is plastic and they tend to weaken and crack with age. Avoid doing The job again.

I replaced the the thermostat engine light on so I'm try to find out where is the coolant temperature sensor is located it's not running hot it's not cooling at the right temperature

[@cmdyc21]

Have you found where the temp sensor is?

[@barryallenflash1]

So, was your suv overheating or you just had the PO128 code? My wife's is overheating, no heat in the interior, leaking from somewhere but can't really pinpoint it. Yes, I've wiped the engine down, but it's REALLY difficult to pinpoint the leak. This was a great video, but not sure if THIS is our problem.

[@BrianBalatbat]

No overheating just the code. Your issue sounds like you’re low on antifreeze due to the leak. No heat means either heater core is bad or low antifreeze. Fix the leak first, release air in the system then top off antifreeze. If it’s still over heating try removing thermostat and go from there.

[@christianbanks9099]

Can this issue cause your a/c not to blow cold

[@christianbanks9099]

Also great vid working on my now

[@TheBobbyreece5]

My wife’s truck had both, it was overheating and no heat in the cab AFTER we changed out a water pump. The problem was air in the coolant system. Now I just have overheating problems. I’m going to need to change the thermostat now

[@barryallenflash1]

@@TheBobbyreece5 Yeah, so the water pump was changed out by the shop we use, so it's good (they did it last summer). I just changed the thermostat..nope! So, I got a P1299 code. So I changed the coolant temp sensor. I was getting heat while idling, took it for a drive, had heat, almost home....lost heat. I watched a vid on how to fill the coolant system since it's a closed one. So, I drained the system and started over. I did this just a couple of days ago...it did the same thing as before. I notice it's making a hissing noise and a small leak on the top of the engine...somewhere. I'm at a loss! We should've never bought this piece of crap in the first place, but at the time it was what we could afford. NEVER AGAIN!! It's scheduled to go in the shop, so I'll let the experts figure it out. It's prob something REALLY simple, but I'm just not seeing it!

[@DynamicDon93]

What size socket to release tension?

[@davidhyman6839]

13mm

[@highonahill]

The part numbers are the same but can anyone confirm that this is the same procedure that you have to do for the hybrid version of this car

[@motavated9862]

yes, it's the same

[@tchicali5457]

Thank you!🎉🎉

[@BrianBalatbat]

No problem!

[@mikeldukes7]

I have a leak on my 2012 ford esape but it's on the driver side of the engine. From like a small hole. Do you know what that is?

[@danielstaggs3789]

Had a leak on my driver's side was the water/coolant outlet Gasket went out on it

[@edgardobautista650]

Excelente curso muy bien gracias

[@erskinhansen1715]

I have overheating when idling for 2-3 mins, but it quickly goes back to normal once I start moving again. I don't see an error message related to this issue. So, my question is, can the thermostat be the problem even if the error code doesn't show up?

[@g..._anthony27]

Yep, the fan is working extra hard to keep it cool. That's what I figured out.

[@Lilbear530]

Definitely wasn’t this easy for my 09 took at least three hours and had to take out at least seven different parts

[@cesaraguirre5365]

I replaced my thermostat and my car is now over heating 😂… shit is annoying.

[@dakota726]

Most likely air in the system still. Let go cold and start from being cold. Let it bleed out of the reservoir while it's running.
