This video is a good example of why you don't use a Haynes manual to direct the work on your vehicle. The video doesn't specify what engine is being serviced, or what year, and the procedures differ pretty significantly between the 3.5L/3.7L Edge, and the 2L Ecoboost. I've never seen a bleeder screw on my 2014 Ford Edge Limited 3.5L Duratec/Ti-VCT, nor on any other video's covering this procedure for a Ford Edge. The drain is secured by a screw valve, not a "twist" ball valve. The differences are not earth shaking, but they are pretty confusing for users. Haynes could have just videoed any Ford or GMC and said "unscrew drain cock, drain coolant, open reserve tank cap and/or radiator cap (if your vehicle has one). Shut drain. Fill radiator through reserve tank cap or radiator cap ... blah .. blah ... blah. I WISH there were a bleed screw. The only way to accomplish a thorough bleed without one, would be to pull the hose at the thermostat (which you'll want to replace anyhow after say, 70K or 90K miles), or maybe open one of the hoses to the radiator. I only got 1 gallon out of my Ford during the first bleed, out of also 3 gallon's per spec.
Is that bleeder valve/hose by the throttle body on all of the years listed in the description? I can't find it on my '13 Sport. Thx
I can't find it on my 2014 either. There are better videos from DIYers than this supposed professional video.
Bleeder Valve Apparently Applies to 4-cylinder models only
What size hose did you use?
Very useful, thanks for sharing
Where is the bleeder? I can’t find it
Bro. You didn't show where the beer screw was first at and hiw you get it to even the part you started at..

Also they never ran the heat so the fluid in the heater coil never got flushed
Ccw to remove, Cw to install. Video is incorrect.
I thought this was a Ford Edge what the hell are you working on is it that goofy little 2.0 ego boost.
Only 30 likes, what the hell
Because the video isn't that good.
