How To Install Repace Heater Hose Assembly Tube Ford Taurus Mercury Sable 00-05 1AAuto.com

[thebbbrain]

Your video inspired me to tackle this job when my assembly failed. Your instructions were spot on. Just a few notes, before installing the replacement part, I aligned all clamps upward such that the can be reached topside next time. The rain gutter was tricky at first, but after releasing it from the stud, it literally pulls straight down out of a press fit...similar to assembling a vacuum cleaner hose.

Thanks again.

very helpful video. I feel to be confident to do it myself. only one question I like to ask, that is, could you please give me more details on how to remove the rain gutter or drain funnel, because in the video, this step was not shot. Thanks a lot!

@raininggy It was hard to get the video camera into position, to show how this is removed. We do describe what needs to be done in the video.

Was to edit. Thanks alot. Your video made this job today so much easier. I didn't have a clue really how to replace it and that rain gutter really confused me until I saw your video.

Thanks so much for your help.

@daveghnet MAN THAT RAIN GUTTER.....

[daveghnet]

Thank You very much. I just replaced this item today on a 2001 Taurus and it was simple because of your help video.

Im in the process of doing this to my GF's 2002 3.0v 12valve Ford Taurus with 76,000 miles and the only thing holding me back is I lost (or someone borrowed without saying s**t) a pair of pliers I had to do this job so i cant get to the bottom clamps yet but so far it isn't to bad of a job and I am not no mechanic (more of a P.C. repair guy). Once i get my GF's car done my brothers 2004 Tuarus with 182,000 needs the same part. God I hope I dont have the same issue with my 99 merc sable 3.0 DOHC

Hey good video, even for the fact that it shows every step so I can judge how long it will take for myself. I will be replacing this hose and piping this weekend due to the same rusted area is leaking on a family members Taurus.

Hello~

For the 2000 mercury sable,in my case ..... you WILL need to remove the intake monifold to get to the heater hose clamps, I did this job this morning and there was no way of removing the hose clamps from the bottom,the hose clamps were not top or bottom,I had to use the a special tool from snap on to get the clamps off because they were sideways...the removal of the intake was no big deal, but if you don't have the special hose clamp tool...your'e screwed....

@MrMrmurf

if its got the 3.0 DOHC 24valve then yeah you will. oh and replacing an alt, egr, wires or spark plugs is no fun on that engine/car either if your no mechanic. trust me i have a 99 merc sable and it sucked. they wanted over $400 for just an alt job at the shops and over $400 for the wires and plugs just cause it had the 3.0 DOCH 24valve engine. if it had the 3.0 12valve it was like 30% + cheaper to work on.

[MrMrmurf]

hi, I have a 2000 mercury sable with the DOHC motor, do i have to remove the intake manifold to replace this hose?

[leadingedgedj]

Thank you for sharing this info with us. I could not figure out how to do this replacement. After seeing how you did it I went out and quickly removed mine. You Rock.

[pokeysdadfrank]

this truely helped replacing the assembly. just one thing i will never know and that is why the hell did ford hava all the clamps facing down. what a true screwup.

[kelbo031890]

this was super helpful i just needed to remove the rain gutter i was trying to do this with out removing that thing

[JamesBStudios]

Hello.

Why do you need to go under the car as long as you position your clamps facing upwards? Thanks.

[1aauto]

@JamesBStudios Was a while ago that I did this but from what I remember there is more room to get at things from the bottom.

[instabad83]

@JamesBStudios if that was the factory hose assembly, then the clamps are pointed down so you have to be under the car to squeeze them open.
