Transit Connect 2011 leaking coolant water

[marcusperala]

Hi,

My Transit Connect is leaking a litte bit of coolant water and I need help identifying what the part is called where the leak is coming from.

The leak is coming from a black plastic connection where the hose is connected. Located near the fuel rail.

Anyone what this part is called?

Thx!

it's the thermostat housing elbow, once leaking you have to buy the whole thing, the elbow plus the housing, there is a gasket and or an o-ring in there ..but because of age of plastic ..the whole housing will probably fall to pieces or crack when you try to dismantle and may be cracked somewhere already ..so probably best buy the lot complete with the thermostat.
Note: there are several different versions of this housing ..so be careful when you order it ..prices from ebay NEW - as low as £12 ..ford dealership - probably over £100

I would not buy a used one off ebay ..even if genuine

all the best.mark
