Hello, I am having to do a tune up on my wife's 2010 V6 ford escape. I can not find a video on this engine. Could anyone tell me how difficult it will be. Ford wants over 400. dollars and I do not have it.

I have bought all the parts, but I am getting cold feet, could really use a pep talk. ( LOL ). I would love any advice that would help my fears. I have done tune ups in past, but this engine looks intimidating, because of all the parts and electronics. Thank you. Need to get to it in about a week from now!

 

I do not have a video on that yet. Now of course the front bank is easy but the rear just needs the upper intake off, it's not too bad. If you send me a email address where I can send you a pdf of the intake removal that would help out allot with your cold feet. If you are over 30k miles and I assume you are be sure to replace the intake gasket.

 

First off , I can not thank you enough for taking the time to help me! my email address is matlockpaul@hotmail.com. Where can I buy the intake gasket, and how much should it cost?. I tried a local part shop, they said I may have to go to the dealer,I live in Canada.

How do you take off the little black nut/bolts that attach the are intake to the top part of the grill? I am guessing it is a hex or allen key.I mean the part that scoops the air from the front into the air filter! Those little black bolts that attach to the upper grill.

I have wathced a video on an older model escape v6, but a lot is different on my 2010.

 

Yes get the gasket from the dealer they can have next day. You just pry up on the retainers for the air snorkel. I will see if we have a used v6 late model on the lot and I will do a quick video for you today easier to show you. I have sent the pdf you can edit out your email address from your post now.

 

intake removal video shot already, I will upload when I get home.

 

Ok dude here it is! You will see it's allot easier than you think. Check it out custom for this concern.

 

Wow Man, there are no words to express my gratitude! I would like to send you the money to buy a case of beer on me. Please let me know how I could make this happen. I would like to do more than just say Thank you!

 

I did not get the diagram that shows how to remove the upper intake manifold bolts, could you post here for all to benefit, Thank you!

 

1. NOTE: Clean and inspect all sealing surfaces. Install new gaskets.
2. Position the upper intake manifold and install the 7 bolts.

• Tighten the bolts in 2 stages in the sequence shown.
  • Stage 1: Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
  • Stage 2: Tighten an additional 45 degrees.
