I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to give me and many others a step by step instruction to get through this nightmare. You never get frustrated and you just keep going till the job is done. Was able to order and install this part and couldn’t have done it without you man. Really great work, you saved me a lot of money. It was frustrating as hell but it got in there just like you have shown. God bless!

I respect a person who shows an entire video with no edits. Especially when they encounter problems. Those are the best videos for a diy mechanic. Thanks for the knowledge

I broke this hose while replacing my radiator yesterday. Thanks for showing us how to replace it!

Thanks so much for showing the label on the new part! I couldn't find a listing for it by application. No one stocks it locally, but I was able to order it.

For anyone doing this. It is easier to get the part on the heater core and thermostat by removing the fan and shroud or unbolt it and move it out of the way easier to get out from the bottom, only two bolts and electrical cable. Remove battery, air box and upper radiator hose, and just like the video you may need to remove the transmission bolt, only the upper one to get a little bit of wiggle room. Then proceed to remove the PCM wire connectors. Hope this helps someone. Also, thank you for the video helped me out.

Hi there, I used your video to repair my 2008 Ford Focus. I had to replace the thermostat. I broke the plastic heater hose. I needed to by the metal hose. I had to take everything out and the transmission stick as you did. It was a good amount to things to take out. It took me about three weeks to do this job as I work a lot. I finally fixed everything. I put everything back together. I now see that I have a leek at the engine block just above the upper right radiator hose. Thank you so much!

All those rubber tubes in general are quite dilated. Eventually you're going to have problems with almost everyone that requires some pression. Rigid plastic tubes directly crystallize and break without warning, as has happened to you. The good thing is that by looking at the reference you can find high temperature resistant rubber fuel hoses that can be a good replacement for those tubes.

You are the man! Appreciate the video, you saved me from buying a new car!

gained a subscriber. Helped me out tons

Absolutely a fantastic and best informative video I've ever seen

Probably easier to insert the aluminum hose from the bottom... I'm in the process of doing this repair after it cracked when I was changing the thermostat. Already removed a bunch of parts near the to run it through will pick up the aluminum hose tomorrow.

Thanks so much for this, my hose literally broke in that same spot.

Holy Heater Hose, Batman! Now I will live in fear of my old one springing a leak. Well done on the video, especially under the circumstances. Question: Where to get pliers for red clip on harness and tube hole/tube clip pliers? Note: I watch a lot of videos but I will remember this one for a long time. Thank you!

Your the goat my man I promise 🙏🏾🙏🏾💎

Thanks bro this helped a ton

Great video! I learned a lot

Thanks for the video.. I have to do this on my daughter 2008 Focus.

You a life saver thank god 🙏

Great video thank you for doing it

Muchas gracias! Lo voy a tratar mañana!

I found removing the lower radiator hose from the Radiator and removing the fan was much easier than disconnecting most of the cables and parts done in this video. Once the fan is removed, there was much more room to maneuver the new rigid aluminum hose. If proper tools are used, the lower radiator hose may not need to be loosened or removed as long as the screw holding the fan can be removed.

Thanks bro God Bless

Hello mate, Hope you can respond this question. What is the name of that piece with the bent metal pipe at 23:05, where you are connecting to the new hose??

Was replacing my thermostat and it broke twice on me. Glad the new one is metal

Do you know if the crack in that hose would cause a loss of heat?

The new leak is in the Water Outlet. I think when the thermostat broke and I drove it "hot" that the gasket blew.

If it busted towards the back would it spill coolant all back that way?

I need you to repair my car I’m in Texas lol

What diameter is the old hose?

Part number for the part?

I think you could’ve came in from the bottom easier..I might be wrong
