2007 Ford Focus Thermostat Housing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the thermostat housing on 2007 Ford Focus?

  A: The first step for servicing the thermostat housing begins with placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist while draining the cooling system. Secure the accessory drive belt splash shield with its two retaining bolts while tightening them to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) for installation. The pulley bolt enables early build vehicles to rotate the accessory drive belt tensioner clockwise for eliminating the A/C compressor belt although later build vehicles require the hex feature for this function. Remove the two power steering tube nuts followed by placing them aside before reattachment when tightening to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Proceed by taking away both the cooling fan motor and shroud along with the 2 bolts and stud bolt to set aside the A/C compressor until reinstallation when these fasteners should be tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). You should start by untightening the spring clamps that secure both radiator and heater hoses from the thermostat housing before removing the 3 bolts and thermostat housing assembly together, afterward tighten each piece to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) for installation. Clean engine coolant applied to the thermostat housing O-ring requires application before conducting the installment reversal process. Complete the cooling system procedure by filling it up and performing bleed operations.
