[@stephenfritz7493]

You're a legend sir! Thanks

[@nairdaagev4482]

Thank you. Very helpful. Mechanic wanted to charge me 600 just for this. I will try to fix it tomorrow

[@tonylo4866]

Did you fix it ?

[@LLBB1021]

Thanks man! 122k 2.5L went out in mine. I was homeless for a bit so idled mine more than i should have during the hot days. Im good now and replacing mine now as we speak. Best video on the net for this problem/fix

[@ANameIOnceHad]

Thanks, doing mine tomorrow. Went out at 255k Miles. Those 2.5L Escapes are built well. First significant repair other than some suspension.

[@JettSlater]

Thank you!

[@jamessoraiz7516]

THANK GOD HE DID THIS STEP BY STEP I have to change mine today

[@jonathansweeney2167]

Great video!

[@tomlopez5465]

Hello from Temecula...Thanks for the video...I'll be following your instructions in the next few days.

[@matt8863]

2:15 Awesome video...That top idler pulley now makes sense to me, I have a 2012 2.5L Fusion, and depending on the date of production that year, the idler pulley bracket has a third bolt fastening it to the head. I have 3 bolts on my idler bracket, and when I ordered a new Motorcraft pulley (part# YS356), they included the third bolt in the package to secure it, since some brackets during production only used two bolts.

Thanks. Mine just went out tonite at like 356,000 miles. No shit. I’ll try to get it apart tomorrow.

Excellent video!!! Great job!!!👏👏👏 just what I needed to see. Thanks

[@chazdom6126]

This helped me immensely. Nice details so thank you very much

[@tysonsantos2055]

Parabéns mestre obrigado!

[@northcountryoutlaw9704]

Atleast it's a regular external belt driven pump and not timing chain driven

[@junkboxkimbe337]

Right looks easy enough

[@melvinflores3045]

Your video helped me a lot thank you very much I didn't know how to get it until I saw your video really thanks you

[@MsDonjuan12]

Thank you so muchhh

[@edwardjones4785]

Just incase anyone has a jack, the bottom bolt is 10x easier from the bottom! you can turn the wheel to the right and see where youre working with more room to wrench!

[@MandrewP]

i used the $35 belt and it broke in just 6 months. I am now replacing it with the $55 belt.

[@luny_mrg8868]

Awesome video, going to replace one tomorrow! What coolant did you use? Looks like there’s dark green in ours.

[@gabinopcruz4564]

You can use a universal antifreeze, just ask at the auto parts given the make and model .

[@joecas373]

Awesome video

[@Myknuckle]

I've never personally had to ever take a timming chain off to change a water pump! Where have you seen that? I curious as to why you would even say that other then that say you did a fantastic job . No

[@JimLongCO]

Thanks

[@battlecats_yamaha]

I’ll attempt to do this

[@andrewdenine1685]

have you unscrewed the oil cap and smelled it on any of the 2.5l and smell fuel really strong ?

[@davidteeters2937]

Did you ever get an answer for your Question?

[@markhighley6907]

I do ...did u ever figure out what caused it

[@baymonearl]

Bet you had problems putting the belt back on.

[@jacob-yx2sx]

How difficult is this repair process?

[@gabinopcruz4564]

Very easy

[@markhighley6907]

How did u know the pump was bad

[@TrevorHarvey-yi9zl]

After 6 days of trying, I'm out of options. My Escape is basically scrap metal with wheels because the damn water pump won't come out!

[@gabinopcruz4564]

😟 sorry about that!!

[@TrevorHarvey-yi9zl]

@@gabinopcruz4564 Finally got it out. I ended up splitting it in half with an air chisel to get it out.

[@LucioAlvarez-kj7eb]

Heat it up a little bit small torch

[@Myknuckle]

Pull the rad and give yourself much more room

[@major8401]

Only step you forgot was the power steering pump

[@Snattle_Rake]

Old comment but there isn't a power steering pump on this car

[@screamingsvtcobra6220]

Great informative video. Thank you
