  • Water Hose Connections

    Nice day here so I'm out in the garage hosing around. I notice "my" U shaped hose comes off the inboard heater core and connects to the tube going to the thermostat housing. The outboard heater core hose connects to the tube that runs behind the engine , and T's to the oil cooler U shaped hose and L shaped hose.
    The problem here is the illustration the Ford Dealer gave me is just the opposite. (Inboard to oil cooler, outboard to thermostat)Does it matter, is my car wrong, or the illustration?

    Heres a pic of mine befor I removed the engine, to my knowledge this is the original hose in the original location. I tried too to get a new one from ford and there computer showed a "L" shaped hose. So then I went to NAPA and they don't show one at all. And my original one has p/n on it but are unreadable, so I'm not sure where to get a replacement.

      Millertime2,

      You can get a full replacement set from Motion Dynamics.

        Nice empty engine bay! I hope all is well with the engine.
        I think I figured it out. I have an extra waterline to the turbo and this is not depicted on the illustration.
        I ordered that u shaped hose from Motion Dynamics and hopefully it will arrive today or tomorrow. You could also check out what u shaped hoses are available at your local parts store. The Advanced near me had two, and one "could" work, but it looked like it might be a little short.
