Electrical Problems?

Coolants probably leaking from the turbo quick connect, common on 11-12s.

That's the same thing the tech at ford said. Looks to be stupidly annoying to get to as well..

Not terrible, pull the plastic upper intake manifold opens up a lot of space to get to that quick connect.

So is it the quick connect that has to be replaced, or just something tightened?

On the abs sensor issue, Ford ended up giving me the wrong one. Never checked. I removed the old sensor, cleaned it up and put it back in. Seems to have worked so far, but I have no reason to believe that will last.

How do I get this fitting off? I see the little plastic retainer is melted and screwed up. Is that the only part that needs to be replaced? Or the entire fitting?

There is a oring inside that fitting that seals the line, to get the line off you have to get the metal retaining clip out . Then the line can come off and you can replace the quick connect.

That's what I can't understand is how to get that clip off. It's behind the waste gate and darn near impossible to reach/see

I have figured out using a mirror that the opening to that snap ring is positioned in such a way that there's no way to get a pick or flat head on it.. It's also impossible to get the 19mm wrench on the fitting to loosen it..

Got that done. Sadly now for whatever reason the tube refuses to seat all the way down in the fitting no matter how hard I push. If I take the fitting off, it'll slide right in. If it's bolted onto the turbo, it refuses to go in. Ugh.

I also managed to break a nipple off one of the lines that feeds the EGR from a heater core line. Because of that I have to replace the entire hose... $89. Huzzah.

Just as cheap to relocate that to an outta the way place, like the storage shed in the back yard.

Ha ha I wish it being that cheap was a reality

Okay the tube absolutely will not seat into the sitting no matter how hard I push (I'm not weak). Anyone have any insight? I can only imagine the geometry is wrong. Tube is extremely hard and I'm afraid to break it trying to bend it, and it's slid on all the way to the nipple on the other side.
