Excellent video, to show the detail on a camera isn't easy and you have made it very straight forward. Just completed the task exactly as shown. Thanks.
Amazing video. Thank you! I did mine last weekend. Bought a new housing just incase. And bought a elring housing seal as well (black). Binned the blue one I got with it. Cheers!!
Good job mate. Modern cars are so hard to work on. Back in the day the thermostat housing was located on top of the cylinder head. About a 30 minute task for gasket/thermostat replacement. I have the MK7 1.6 Sigma engine in my wife's Fiesta. It's a good idea to keep the coolant filler cap off and run the cars heater on full to clear any air bubbles in the system. That's how they did it at the Ford dealership. Also, use the Ford coolant that's specific for your engine - it may cost a bit more but overall that doesn't matter as it will fully protect your cooling system.
Thanks man, and yes they are a pain to work on, I used to work on the old Kent Crossflow engines in Formula Fords and they were much easier to work on. Right after this video I had to drive it straight away, I had a call to an emergency, but thankfully this system bled any bubbles its self, all I did was keep an eye in the water level until it no longer dropped. and for the type of coolant, it doesn't really matter where or what make it is, also as you replace it when it's about to go past the date on the bottle than your alright, but any way thanks for watching the video
Good job. I'm doing this now on a Mk6.5 Fiesta tdci and the stat is in the same position on your newer Fiesta. I've decided to go a little bit further and do a full drain/flush and refill of the radiator, engine block, heater core and all coolant hoses. I would have tightened those thermostat housing screws to the correct torque with a torque wrench though.
Great job and brilliant video! Many thanks indeed, much appreciated. My car is a Peugeot Partner 1.6HDi, but not too different, fairly similar engine and of course similar coolant leak which I have to do soon. Cheers
You don’t need to take all the pipes of the thermostat simply undo the 4 8mm bolts and just unclip the black plastic pipe only pull the thermostat towards you pull the old gasket of put new one on run your finger round it then 4 bolts back in push plastic pipe on that’s it then put battery tray assembly back job done
If I remember correctly, I had to find a socket and extension that was thin enough to get in the gap, it's been a while now since so my memory is a bet meehhh. If not that then maybe from a different angle
Fab you've inspired me to now do mine ....tonight my suspicion was confirmed via the dye with a uv torch.....I saw the fluid b4 I did this but wanted to be sure etc same gasket as yours black ive already received it .......so may tackle this at weekend did you have any issues with Bluetooth on stereo as in phone ? Think you have likely similar if not same engine as mine 1.6 tdci cheers mucka
Hahhaha thats alright, glad to help. I didn't have any problems with the cars stereo and phone system, just had to re do clock and it was okay. I think the 1.6 is the same or is very similar to my 1.5
You have used the wrong coolant and you must change it for the pink Ford one If you don't you will have problems with coolers etc due to the metals used in the engine but apart from that you did a good job
Wonderful video which encouraged me to successfully do the job myself, thank you. However, why did you then use the WRONG anti-freeze to refill the system ? It is critical that you ONLY use Ford Super Plus Premium anti-freeze in these engines, and there is no equivalent as far as I'm aware.
Hello, thank you and I'm glad that the video was available to help you out 😁, and yahh I did use the wrong coolant, the previous comments on this video let me know and I swapped it out a few days after 😅
I don't understand. Some thermostat housing located on the alternator. And this one is just at the battery. I need to replace one for a 1.6tdci 90hp mk7
Ahh okay, for the 1.6 tdci they might of moved the location of the Thermostat because its a different engine set up, I.e different head (8 Valve or 16 Valve)
@@CrossfireStudios Hey, it was located the same as this video. Thanks! It was the car of my sister in law. Man what a sh.tty car. I never loved fords. But this one takes the cake. I started working on it at 8 in the morning. And around afternoon i was done. But then i had engine fault code. And the turbo wasn't working anymore and the car won't start at first. When i switched the key to the ignition position, i got a short circuit somewhere. So i dissambled almost everything again. Sanded the negative cable for a good GND. And then it was starting luckily. No fuses where burnt. I have no Delphi scantool on my laptop. So i called a garage owner what was open on sunday. He scanned the car for me. And after some searching he found that there was a cable on the turbo not plugged -_- I still feel my back hurt from all that stupid work. I said to my sister in law, just buy a volkswagen polo for that money. Not complicated to work on. And i have vagcom on my laptop, wich makes it a lot easier to work on. I always work on my own audi a6 and my wifes Golf mk7 tdi. Never had been this kind of weird issues working on it myself. freakin ford that cracks and makes all noises like a old women. For a car from 2010. It only has 125 000km. But feels like half a milion.
Very brave using axle stands on the thin sills, christ. Could see the car moving around when you was jacking the other side. You have a fat chassis rail there that'd fit nicely in the axle stand
Michael Mcdaid hi there, I went to my local ford dealership and asked them, they ether will have it in stock or they will have it set to that dealership and you can pick it up there. That's what I did to get gasket
No problem, I'm glad that it helped you out. It took me roughly 6 to 7 hours, but I was filming and doing that as well so it might be quicker. Let me know how you get on :)
Really good Video pal, good tutorial. You might want to change the coolant though. Pink came out, you should mix this with blue or green coolant as it can get congealed and cause you issues. But good job and thankyou for the video.
@@w202firstaid Okay, by the sounds of things its like your thermostat isn't working and its stuck open, and because diesels struggling to heat up anyway all the heat that is being produced is going straight to the radiator and cooling back down. In terms of the coolant leak is there coolant visible from outside, as in is it leaking down the side of the block and onto the floor??
@@w202firstaid Okay, let me know what happens, if you don't see anything visible in the engine bay or on the ground then I got a feeling it may be the head gasket has gone and all the coolant in going into the combustion chamber and is evaporating out the exhaust

Just removed thermostat due to overheating and its obviously failed. is it ok to apply silicon sealant before reassembly?
Just done this on a citroen c3 picasso... pretty much the same parts only difference was the housing was cracked on mine not the gasket.

Your music drove me crazy I wish I could have watched with just your voice
Ahh my bad, I hope the video was still useful and helped with your car
That one little bolt on the top right of the thermostat housing I'm struggling to get to. Any ideas?
If I remember correctly, I had to find a socket and extension that was thin enough to get in the gap, it's been a while now since so my memory is a bet meehhh.
If not that then maybe from a different angle
Thanks for that I changed my engine and forgot where some of the pipes go and u have just help Thanks 😊

Thank you for your reply which explains all as I had not read the previous comments, and thanks again for the video, cheers.
The Fiesta only requires coolant with the Ford WSS-M97B44-D certification according to the Fiesta's owner's manual. No need to go full official ^^
Great Video. Do you have a part no for the seal and how long did this take you to replace start to finish. Thanks
Thank u M8. nice vid with great instruction. Cheers.
Great video, thanks 👍🏻

Yahh I realised this not long after making this video, it's been changed now, but thank you for telling me
Hi do you know the part number for the new black gasket? Thanks
Most sites you put in reg it tells you if ebay like mine ask seller to check ....usually about 7 quid
Very helpful, I have similar car. ta
Nice video thanks ...
Good video 👍👍
