I got mine at the Joe Myers Ford dealership. Went there at 12:30 and they said they would it by 1:30. Guy called me around 1:20 saying they had it in. It was 31.85 plus tax so about 34 and some change. Thanks for the video...big help. I’ll be changing mine this afternoon.

[@noahsearls2941]

Awesome video. Thanks for your help. One question though, once you cut the hose you said to put “something” there so it doesn’t leak. What did you use?

[@NoneMechanic101]

I used a rag but it didn't leak much. Make sure the car is cold and you haven't ran the car in about two hours. You don't want any pressure in the hose.

This video is a lifesaver. Thanks! So i have one question, when you say you cut the hose because you didn't want to break the plastic part, did you cut the hose along the length to make it easier to slip off?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes, I did cut the hose along the length to make it easier to slip off. Don't for get to use safety at all times. Thank you for watching!

Gonna try this out on my focus. Shop wanted to charge me $400 to replace it. When they showed me the issue I was confused as to why that easy of a replacement would run me that much.

400 dollars. That's a lot of money

[@Vanessa.305]

Yep they gave me the same estimate today $369 and I didn't feel right about the price so I ended up finding this video and all I can say is thank you bc I can do this repair myself and save $300

How do I know if I should replace this? would this be leaking engine coolant at each end of the hose and/or if the rubber is cracked and leacking through holes? I'm trying to troubleshoot my AC and wondered if this could be related. Thanks for the awesome video and warnings of plastic parts that could be broken! I learned that the hard way last year on a different part of the cooling system. :(

[@NoneMechanic101]

I myself if the hose is leaking engine coolant at each end of the hose and/or if the rubber is cracked and leaking through holes. I would replace it

[@fyafox5726]

Thanks bro, good video well informed. One question is do I need to drain the coolant first before I remove the hose.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes you do. The reason why I didn't do it in the video was because it didn't have none. It got lost trough the heater core hose. Make sure the car isn't hot and the coolant is cold.

[@fyafox5726]

@@NoneMechanic101 can I just drain it from the heater core hose when I pulled it off, or do I need to drain it from the radiator plug. Gonna do mine today. Really great video and thanks for replying

So my aunt has this same car and they wanna charge her 400 dollars to change these hoses cause they are leaking. Crazy. How would u go about bleeding the system after changing the hoses and filling it back up. ? Would u just open the reservoir and turn the heat n full blast and let the air bleed out the res or is there something else needs done. Thanks for any help very appreciated

[@NoneMechanic101]

I got lucky. I didn't have to bleed the system. The way I would do it is if I have to bleed it. I would fill the reservoir close it. Turn the car on. Press the gas paddle until I reach 2000 rpm for 2 minutes. Let it go down and do it again a few times. I would turn the heat on also

[@perrisparker5747]

I am trying to take the hose off but it’s complicated getting it off of the heater core. It’s unlocked but can’t pull it off

[@NoneMechanic101]

If you can't pull it do not force it. You going to end up breaking the heater core pipe. Lisle makes a tool to unlock the hose Part# 39200. Ebay has it for about 12.00 dollars. Also check in Amazon. If you have prime you can probably get it the next day.

[@dallasgreensmoke]

So I need the other hose the one that says RH. When I look up the part number on the hose I cant find that exact number very much. BVG1-18K5810-KG. Having a tuff time figuring out the other hose part number. I was able to change the LH side because of this video when it was leaking. But now the other side is leaking and Im having trouble finding the part. Any help would be appreciated

[@terrybalogh1277]

Please be aware that what seals this hose is not the lock but a simple o-ring. Once you have the hose off the heater box, press on sides of grey part that turns, it will come off the end and inside you will find a simple o-ring. I am grateful that the repair only cost me $35.00 for one hose but in truth, for less than a buck you could fix this by just getting a new o-ring of the right size!!!

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you for the information.
