Coolant Leak

[Calidad]

I was told by my local shop that if you can’t get to a dealer 30 ish miles that Ford will let shops do the work and warranty it. Literally just talked to my local guy great shop does some difficult jobs perfectly etc. In my case two Ford dealers in a 12 mile radius. So no dice.

But could be worth exploring if you have a top notch local shop and your SOL for a local Dealer

Good luck, those are the cheap hoses. Don't hold your breath as many here have been told that coolant hoses are not covered. If they cover it, throw a party.

Yeah, don't count on the ESP warranty covering the hoses. At the bottom of their PremiumCare brochure it lists those item not covered and "hoses" are listed under the 'Repairs Related to Your Maintenance Requirements' and are not covered under warranty. But, can't hurt to ask/insist.

Yea, they for sure wont cover. I just hope its not crazy expensive.

What do you consider "Crazy" expensive? Is $1200 crazy expensive when they coulda just used worm gear clamps instead?

My dealer quoted $700 plus for the heater core hoses. Did them myself and in an hour or two and saved hundreds. I can't imagine it would be much better for this situation.

Thx for the post.

What state was this dealer in that quoted $700? (Maryland?) I live in Massachusetts and prices are high here compared to other lower states so Im scared mines could be double that...

Id be accepting if its less than $1000 for hoses/lines. If its much cheaper than $1000 then I might ask them tonreplace the T-stat too with the updated one..

Depends also on which hoses you need. They are all expensive, but some are more than others, and some are harder to get at than others. My $1200 included the rear heater hose and the T stat, which I'd already purchased.

I have a 2021. Just had the water pump gasket replaced after my wife heard some bubbles in the dash. Also found a leak in the thermostat housing after the gasket replacement so that got replaced too.
