Como quitar el betilador del radiador de este tipo de carros

@dham99 4 ай бұрын

This is a pretty straight forward install, but glad Mishimoto took the time to help everyone go through the complete process! One thing that is kind of humorous is that someone would upgrade the radiator, but not the FMIC. If you have the OEM FMIC, you are NOT tracking or driving your car hard at all. It cant handle few back to back hard pulls let alone pushing it in competition scenarios. You also do not need the shutters or half the bulky plastics on the crash bar. In fact, once you go with an aftermarket intercooler, you cannot use those things anyways and while you're in there, you might as well upgrade the factory upper/lower coolant hoses to silicone ones. I know this is an old video and this car in the video is pristine, but anyone upgrading this with a used ST (they're all used now) this is a great upgrade if you drive hard or track your car. FYI those coolant hose connectors are a PITA to remove in many cases simply because they're stuck on after years of use. Once the clip is out, just be careful and work them off with a good amount of force. When you go to refill the coolant, the traditional way works but you have a very good chance of introducing a lot of bubbles. It may benefit you to invest in something similar to this tool: www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-75260

Thanks for the comment! Some of these vehicles are on the "older" side and will benefit from a new radiator after close to 10 years of use :)

If anyone's struggling to get the Rad hoses back on, use a heat gun or a hair dryer to warm the hose connector up then push on. Took me hours of trying and only 30 seconda with a heat gun to get them on

I don't have access to a lift, so I was wondering how high will I need to get the car with a jack and jack stands in order to remove the old and install the new radiator?

I wanna replace a leaking radiator in a 2012 Focus Titanium sedan with an OEM radiator. Is this installation guide largely the same? Or is the ST significantly different?

@mishimoto 7 жыл бұрын

HI Branden! This product is for the 2013+ Focus ST - for your 2012 Focus, you'd want to consider our OEM replacement radiator which you can view here: www.mishimoto.com/2012-2015-ford-focus-replacement-radiator.html - Installation would be the same as for your OEM radiator, as this designed to OEM specs! Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thank you so much. You have the only guide on the internet for the removal and installation of a radiator for the third generation Focus. This is a very high quality video, and you do a great job showing how to install your products.

There are other aftermarket radiators that state they are triple flow units. Is this radiator also like that?

@@iguardwisconsinberry8830 You can look to see if a part will match by looking up the Ford OEM part number. If it matches between the ST and Fusion or any other Ford vehicle, then you know it will fit. The part numbers are different. It will not fit.

Right? It's a radiator bolt and unbolt ... and all this stuff is easy to remove and re-install on the ST. Though, dealing with fluids and pipes and the condensor definitely are what bumped the rating.
