It is probably the drain pipe and the gasket on to turbo.

Thanks for the data, I have the 2.0 ecoboost and I'm finding that after changing the solenoids on the bottom side with the brand new turbo and the top side with a new solenoid I've changed other sensors. Just not the ones that are connected to the throttle body because I'm under the impression on the 2.0 ecoboost it is a all-in-one unit. Any advice for me for my next step I would have greatly appreciate it

Hello, is the waste gate solenoid next to the turbo, the same part, as the boost solenoid on top of the engine? TIA!
@markmessner4554 6 ай бұрын
I’m actually getting code P0236 which basically says the same as P0234 (I have a 2013, Escape, 2.0L). I’ve changed all my MAP sensors as well as both solenoids you’ve mentioned and I still get this code. The fault occurs only at startup. If I turn the engine off then back on, the fault is gone. If this happens approx 5 times, the check engine light stays on. Then, after a few times of not having the fault at startup, the check engine light goes off. Very frustrating

@markmessner4554 6 ай бұрын
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews When the fault occurs at startup and I try to drive, the car “sputters” when I press the accelerator. I will then turn the Engine off and immediately restart it. No fault shows up and the engine performs normal. As mentioned, about every 5th time of this happening the check engine light stays on and the engine performs normal. After a few times of NOT getting the fault at startup the check engine light disappears. This is more of an annoyance but, I’d still like to know how to fix it

Hey, while you were in there did you diagnose that oil leak? Looks pretty severe. Curious because I have a similar leak issue that I've been investing
@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews 6 ай бұрын
You know, I didn't. I did notice that as well and have been keeping an eye on the oil level. Doesnt seem to be wet up top. Hoping its something simple like a valve cover gasket and not the turbo or anything serious. Any idea about your situation? Thanks for asking

Very good chance it’s the valve cover gasket. Known to fail on these. I’m about to do it on my wife’s car cause it’s leaking like that.

I've been following you for 2 years and your app has been a lifesaver! I'm planning on replacing this on my 2013 2.0L as well as the bpv while I'm at it. Would you happen to know the part number or if it's the same as the 1.6L?

Thank you so much for the great feedback on the app! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you use it. There was a lot of time and energy the went into it and it's sure nice to hear!

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews I was able to easily find the right solenoid, but since the turbo bypass valve is inches away I'd like to change it, too. Been getting P0299 and cant find any leaks in any hoses. I have 150K+ miles and think they've just ran their course. I found old videos here and there saying Ford tries to sell the turbo wholesale when there IS a bpv but I can't find a source to verify part numbers. Any insight?

Hey! So after doing a bit of research I came up with this part number: CJ5Z-9U465-A, which I THINK is the same as the 1.6L as is posted in this really informative thread here on the forum post linked below. The guy had a very similar question to you, and ended up buying the 1.6L part to test it out, found a variation on the part number (update, rev, etc), and said it worked out for him despite Tasca parts telling him it wasn't compatible with his '13 2.0L EcoBoost. Take a look and check it out. Was the best I could confirm www.fordescape.org/threads/2013-1-6l-ecoboost-turbo-bypass-valve-bpv-stock-part-number.116146/

Hi! I was just wondering if you will be able to make that replacement video for the mechanism that closes and locks the back rear left door? I finally have the part, and I have the tools for it I just cant find a tutorial thats very good. I can only find one and the guy rambles too much in it for me to follow along (adhd). I figured id ask you before I try to use that guys tutorial, ill be using your "how to take a door apart" video for a majority of it tho

Hey there @RealShawneeSays - shoot- I'm sorry about dropping the ball on that - just got the car back from getting a new transmission and have been in a mental hole getting it all back up to running condition but yes I can still do that- can you shoot me a private message our fb page and we can go over a bit more details there maybe?

Does it matter when reconnecting the hoses, which you connect to which part? Or are they interchangeable?
@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews 5 ай бұрын
The hoses need to go back to their particular fittings for the solenoid to do its job

I've been researching this part and I can find part number CJ5Z-9K378-B for around$185 but I can also find part number CJ5Z-9K378-A for around $80. Online it says "B" replaces the original part ending in "A". Do you know the difference?

@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews 6 ай бұрын
Sometimes its just a manufacturing detail- if the Ford part diagram shows the -B and says it replaces -A, then it is most likely an updated design. I have experienced this with fuel and coolant lines- usually a material upgrade or modification to accomplish the same goal. Try searching Tasca Parts for the original number or the Ford Parts website if you haven't already?

@@joshfsr YES! So for the record, the solenoid IN THIS VIDEO is that part from Dorman. It is working so far and installed well, but I have been reading some notes across the web saying that non-factory parts are questionable so I didn't post it as a recommendation aside from the original Ford part numbers in the description. SO FAR so good- might not be too bad to try it out for the cost and if it goes out, then go for the factory part- that's what I'm doing right now at least right now.

El codigo p0299 de ford escape 2016 que podria ser
@josephbarrerareyes 5 ай бұрын
¿Cuál es el código P0299 en un Ford Escape 2016? Las fugas en la plomería y el intercooler pueden causar un código P0299 y, a menudo, ocurren en los acoplamientos entre las tuberías de carga. Encontrar las fugas puede ser difícil debido al empaquetado del intercooler detrás de un parachoques. Actualizaciones de programación. Una máquina de humo puede ayudar a encontrar las fugas en la plomería y el intercooler.
