Heater Hose Locations, instructions, diagrams and videos

Recommended Posts

How's everybody doing? New to forum sites. 

 

I have the 2.0 ecoboost. The heater hose is cracked. Its gotten to the point where I am having to put radiator fluid in it once a week. I want to try and change it myself; however, I cannot find the location of the heater hose. When I googled it, three different hoses showed up. I took it to a local shop and the mechanic told me that the intake has to be removed to change it and that he does not do heater hose changes on that specific vehicle. Does any one have a diagram or anything like that? Also how hard is it to change the radiator.

I'm not familiar with the 2.0L, but maybe @Haz can help.

 

In photo #3 it looks like an air/vacuum pipe is disconnected ?

In photo #4 it looks like the serpentine belt is InsideOut ?

@1004ron where is the air vacuum pipe located. The serpentine belt is definitely inside out.

Who installed it like that?  - what else have they done wrong !!!

 

How did you determine that the heater hose is cracked?

I actually purchased it like this last year. 

 

I brought the car to three different shops because I changed the brakes and shortly thereafter the break pedal would slowly start to go to the floor.

 

The first shop changed out the master cylinder twice but wouldn't touch the heater hose.

The second shop changed out the master cylinder a third time but wouldn't touch the heater hose. The mechanic informed me of the heater hose; he said that he did not change out heater hoses on this particular vehicle.

The third shop changed out the brake booster and the abs pump; however, none of them wanted to mess with the heater hose. I think I have a crack in my radiator also. 

 

All of these shops are licensed and bonded. All LLC. Like real shops. no shade trees.

It sounds like you've had your vehicle at three incompetent service shops, which in the end has cost you more than it would have taking it to the Dealership service center or a reputable independent shop.

 

The only advice I can offer is to take it to a reputable competent service shop.

Those incompetent service shops are making wild guesses that its a "heater hose cracked".

 

Are you seeing coolant on the ground?

 

It could be the issue detailed in the below linked thread:

I'm actually seeing coolant on the ground in two different locations. Near the firewall and up by the radiator. I just cant see the actual leaks.

Welcome to the Forum, TobyJ66 !

 

Surprisingly, 2012-to-2023 Edge Workshop Manuals do not provide any procedure for removal and installation of heater hoses on the 2.0L EcoBoost, though differences do exist between Gen1+ (2012-2014) and Gen2 (2015-2023) 2.0L EcoBoost heater hose designs.

 

Ford's online parts-selling site provides exploded illustrations which can be zoomed and dragged about to view the various hoses, as well as photos of individual hoses from several perspectives.

Scrolling down the page and selecting "Related Parts" yields links to individual parts shown in the illustration...

Heater hose design differences are evident on the 2015 Edge 2.0L EcoBoost heater hose page, which also includes a "Related Parts" tab...

When beginning a FordParts part search, the site will ask for a zip code or city to build a list of nearby dealers to choose from. You'll notice that the dealer I selected above sells at below MSRP pricing. Not all dealers discount pricing, so you can choose among other dealers on your list to price-shop.

 

The following 2014 Edge Workshop Manual sections may address your other question...
