2001 Ford Escort Radiator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair a radiator on 2001 Ford Escort?

  A: Recovery of the radiator requires that workers first lift the vehicle and drain the radiator fluid content. The service begins by removing bolts first and then the right-hand splash shield followed by disconnecting both the lower radiator hose and either the lower oil cooler outlet tube or both. Complete the lower section of service by extracting both the radiator upper hose and upper oil cooler inlet tube when necessary. Begin by removing the connector from the fan motor and continue by taking off the radiator cap along with the disconnecting the radiator overflow hose. Start the condenser core removal by unthreading the radiator-mounting bolts and securing nuts from the A/C condenser core brackets near the radiator base. Then lift the radiator-shroud assembly out of the vehicle. The removal process requires uninstalling the bolts until the fan motor and blade with shroud assembly become separate. The installation process requires you to perform the removal steps in reverse order and refill coolant followed by engine activation with essential hose and connection leak testing. Wait until the water thermostat opens after your engine warms up and after that stop the engine while also filling up the coolant recovery reservoir when necessary to maintain sufficient minimum cold fill.
