This was a great video! For me I didn’t have to drain the radiator. Only because I just had my water pump and belt replaced a few months ago. I kept the coolant cap on and I took the side clip off first then the back and tilted the tank backwards while pulling the hose off so the tank didn’t leak and replaced it no problem. But my previous coolant tank was filthy and had some particles in the coolant in self so I just poured fresh coolant and it worked like a charm

Hello, thanks for your video, I learned a lot, but I have a question, after changing the coolant, there will be air left in a certain part of the pipe, where is the valve to discharge the air, I saw some cars have a bleed valve next to the expansion tank, but I can't find it on the Focus car, do you know where it is or how to solve the problem of air being trapped in the pipe? I think this is very important, thank you

There are two coolant hoses from the engine compartment bulkhead to the heater matrix. Is your vehicle air conditioned? The liquid underneath could be water from the evaporator drain hose (nothing to worry about).

I whish this was a joke but the video in the PAID online manual for Ford Focus 2011 to 2014 is done on a RENAULT in the servicing and maintenance for the diesel models!!! Also the pictures are crap and not helpful I learned more by watching KZfaq videos.

Thanks for your comment. Our manuals are intended to be used by the average DIY'er, who it is assumed, will not have access to compressed air. As I'm sure you are aware, without this access it is extremely difficult to remove the coolant from the heater matrix circuit. As long as the coolant is being replaced as part of a routine service, there will be minimal impact on the strength of the coolant by leaving the old solution in the matrix.

@@HaynesManualsThank for your reply, im not trying to be rude and step in your toes im trying to help and enhance options, but is doable and im going to explain, Is 2 ways to do a complete flush of the whole system without compressor but takes time because the car need to be in heat operating temperature (open thermostat) and cool down between flushes. The process consist in do multiple flushes at least 3, run the engine to operating temperature with the heater blowing in max heat, this going to flush the heater core as well, the second way is for people who dont have access to enough coolant of no money for pay for 3 flushes of coolant, in this case your refills between flushes can be done with distilled water from a grocery store, no other water, (destiled water is not corrosive and is part of the 50/50 coolant mixture) important is in the in the last refill you fill it up with the 50/50 coolant, dont pour concentrated fluid in the system, concentrated coolant need to be diluted with 50% coolant and 50% distilled water and dont leave the car with distilled water, it dont performs well as coolant and going to freeze in cold temperatures destroying your engine.
