First time doing it ever, took 2 hrs thanks to your video. Priced at local garage for $600. Cost me $45 in parts, $5 of which for an 8mm socket I didn't own. Many thanks.

wonder if that is where mine is leaking at. I'm loosing coolant and I doubt its in the head, not the heater core. Not sure where its leaking at with crud all over the engine. cleaned off around the heater block and the housing and I should see where its leaking at.

Just replaced the engine block heater CM5Z-6A051-A (leaking too) in the back of the engine for a Plug W701548-S437. The engine block heater is behind the exhaust manifold when you open the hood to your right. Check it!

I know this is an older video, but it’s exactly what I need. Just to clarify, this is the 2.5 L 4 cylinder? Also Im assuming my thermostat is failing because my heat is not very hot. It blows hard but not hot.

Thanks man, great video, I am gonna replace mine later this year. I just have a few questions that would help me out: 1. Why did you change the thermostat, was it stuck open or closed? 2. How much did the OEM thermostat cost? 3. How old is the car/how many miles did it last? My ST is 8 years old, with 60k miles on it.
@hyr0llr6 ай бұрын
This is my buddies car. I dont exactly remember why he wanted it replaced. I believe it was just something he wanted swapped out to know there is new one installed. Nothing was going on with it sticking open or closed. He ordered it from Rockauto. And on there theres many different brands to choose from. All depends on budget. 2014 and the car had 117k miles.
@FreSTrada4206 ай бұрын
@hyr0llr thank you very much for the information. I also just wanna replace mine, even though nothing is wrong with it. I wanna drive the car to Zimbabwe through Botswana, so I definitely want it as reliable as it gets. I have to get mine from the dealer, so it is gonna be pricey 👀. I am glad they last that long. Take care man and keep making more cool videos.

I've replaced the radiator reservoir the ac compressor the belt and the sensors there is no code but it keeps overheating someone told me to change the thermostat but I don't have a code for it and the radiator fan is also new could it be the radiator itself

Thermostat is probably the fault if yu have a new radiator installed.

Thanks for the video. What were your symptoms? On my 2014 I randomly overheat. I've replaced the radiator fan with a new OEM Ford one that included a new controller. Relays fuses and all work. It just randomly overheats. No codes or anything.

its possible yes. you'd have to figure out if just the sensor is faulty. if the sensor is reading good, then yes, its possible the thermostat is sticking.

This car is really bad, the transmission is faulty and many mechanics don’t wanna put their hands on
@markcowan3366Ай бұрын
It's an ST, manual transmission only. This vehicle is not bad, the transmission is not "faulty", if you have the ST version, and your transmission is torn up it because someone didn't know how to drive a manual transmission. It's an easy swap, take it to a transmission shop and not a "mechanic". Mechanics at alot of shops don't want to deal with transmissions because they get paid by the job and transmissions can be alot of work if you don't know what's wrong with it.
