Review on Motorcraft CX1718 New Air Pump by Aaron Ali

The pump is in an awkward location, down in the passenger side front fender well. They sit in a bracket, and a common malfunction is due to the pump getting into the water and rusting. The pump has a short inlet hose with a simple mushroom cap on the end to keep water out. I highly recommend getting rid of the short hose when installing a new hose and running the long heater hose into the engine compartment and reinstalling the mushroom cap as it seems necessary to keep water out. . If you reinstall the pump without changing the hose, you will have to buy another one. The rest works fine. UPDATE: Still works fine.
