Any off the shelf oring will not fit properly, get the ones I listed

You can also get orings from the hardware store...where i always buy them.

Go to the hardware store. The only difference between factory orings and others is the fact the OEM's are flat. The rings from the hardware store will be a little harder to get in, but they go in. Coat the ring and tube in black rtv and you will be set.

i love you!!!!!!!!!!

Well... it didn't take to long before another individual fell victim to the idiotic COT system. (This COT design is a joke it really sucks)
Truthfully I was expecting another posting of a EATC system failure i.e. the POS blend door --- $75 for the part $1000 in labor into Ford's pocket to fix the crappy garbage.


Hey BigCars4Ever I have some advice --- make sure you repeatedly burb the system -- I am sure you know that.



Here is the kicker very important --- many months from now when the car is subjected to its very -first- exposure to temperatures below 40 degrees remove the COT plug and check to see if there is coolant in the tube.

More than likely you will be shocked to find after first exposure to cold there is very little coolant in the COT tube even though the reservoir indicates full!
No--- there is no leaks in your system the issue is the idiotic design and good old physics. If you don’t catch this idiosyncrasy in time -bang- you car is done.

I was damn lucky last year an ex Ford mechanic in Dothan, Alabama warned me and sure enough I encountered it and corrected it before my engine took a hit.


Thank You FORD
