- For Years 2008 to 2012 Does not require costly removal of the Front Bumper Cover Assembly. Detailed procedure. Does not include refrigerant evacuation and purge procedure which should be done separately and in compliance with EPA standards.
Thank you for the video. It saved me a lot of time and money.
Thank you sir for getting the job done without removing the bumper cover. I dreaded removing my bumper cover because I have a push bar and I braced it with extra reinforcement and didnt want to undo all of that. Now if I can find that Promax A.C machine online I'd be a happy man!! Great video! Thank you!
This is why removing the bumper makes life so much easier. Screw the grill and headlight
Nice video I CZcams everything I'm a professional mechanic for 30 years but I always have the advantage of the CZcams. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this video. From start to finish, how much time did it take to replace the condenser and recharge the system?
I wish one of you guys doing these escape condenser replacements would state more info on the orings, size etc.
Basically the reason I am watching these videos, to find out the oring size or number
Buy the selection of green Orings in a plastic box and match to what you have. Specified measurements are not made often and even then production is not precise. So you have to match by eye and feel. www.amazon.com/POVAST-Conditioning-Compressor-Seals-Ring/dp/B089XWSWWP/ref=asc_df_B089XWSWWP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=516555722597&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4115576599008037290&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008123&hvtargid=pla-1278257476533&th=1@@doccowin8236
Hardest part so far is removing the silly clips/tabs to remove the grill.
Thank you for the video!
My dealer wanted $2000. 🤔😒Heater works fine. 🥰
I love the vid. Very helpful. Better lighting would’ve helped. But that’s ok. I will replace mine this way. TY
Abe how did it come out I have to replace mine
@@davidgreenidge9879 my parts arrive from rock auto this Thursday
@@abemaysonet7291 I just bought something from them and it should be here next week sometime
@@davidgreenidge9879 excellent! And still going strong
Good luck, mine is perfect
Great job ... Tks
Did you have to evacuate the system or was it already empty?
The system fails and empties itself usually. You should seal the system after replacing all parts then pull a vacuum then refill. The old method of purging with refrigerant is illegal now.
Good observation. Talk to the car companies about how they design and build in these weak points that dump the refrigerant.
Nice video, everything you said is true lol
What if the old hose doesn't want to come off ?
When removing the seals from new condenser, is there supposed to be air coming out from it? Was that not supposed to happen?
That is normal. The manufacturers typically fill the new coils with nitrogen before capping them off.
When the condenser is sealed at the factory, the barometric pressure there will usually be different, so when you open there could be some air escaping.
When you removed the condenser, did transmission fluid leak out?
You will get some minor dripping, but it should not be spilling out. Not enough fluid to worry about.
What was the problem with the condenser?
Mine I just discovered is disintegrating.
In the video, I showed the location of the leakage. It is caused by an attachment point bracket which was slightly too lightweight and causes the coil to crack after enough vibration. Sad, Ford execs need to spend less time with executive "conferences" in Hawaii and more time in design meetings.
What I wanna know is where you found a ac condenser for $55 the cheapest one I found was $70
Aereanna, Ebay is an excellent source. I always get parts for these older cars that will keep them on the road. I have never owned a new car. Facebook binthere222@yahoo.com
I attach the link for one for $46 which I found today. And BTW the one I put on is still working fine and I bet will outlast the service time of the OEM original part. www.ebay.com/itm/186118116213?fits=Year%3A2010%7CModel%3AEscape%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item2b55811375:g:SfIAAOSwFolkpMb8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8J4zIAuyykBspSHOMqbY7i28VLN7bVxIQM2hc8Vq6v%2BLh8ftJzMzjq1mVAIq0QbqgCxcKJ6V3h%2Fgg%2BaLjCBZfi4B41tmuBp7xUjPwAE3Np9horJ1Nz2sFWFHoaGbuN67kkO%2F15hVLfPSxQiOu0tJuDrxu1Ut%2BPgKTUwl5BGOxpkVK30EUUrSncJHyyfraxdtMCYJgKwsBz%2BWOSSGZhe%2BeAmG8hjzlg6TtLKB1Cg0kwDhwlgBu4HkW4SKF6eQ5dsL%2FZM2iAwFv7qsGZ1r3j0prFmf8StyAEK4zgB47F7vwbvaK0IBwH09S7heh0lKQq%2F3Wg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6rtn_LlYg

No need to add some ac oil to it?
Usually not but it is possible to look up the spec on each part and how much replacement oil it should take. The condenser might take 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce.
I think that cheap trash was put on this car to begin with!!! Yes. Exactly! Lol
I hate the stealerships.
fuck, i want to rip mine out because its almost completely gone.
now i see its got the transmission oil going thru it...
