🔧 BM5Z-18495-C HVAC Heater Control Valve Engine Coolant Bypass Valve for Ford Escape Fiesta Fusion Transit Connect, Replaces BM5Z-18495-A, BM5Z-18495-B, YG-780 Review

I would recommend this product for valve replacement on Ford vehicles that use this part. Note: When adding antifreeze and starting this vehicle, the system must be bled. Connect and disconnect this element several times to remove air in the cooling system.

I didn't like that this part was advertised with an original part number but was an aftermarket fake. Seems like false advertising to me. The item itself meets my requirements. Mine was leaking and giving out a service code. I changed the part and cleaned up the code. everything is fixed I would be happier knowing it wasn't genuine since I bought it.

This is a common problem on some Ford engines. I tried to buy it from a Ford dealer, they charged a lot of money just for the part. Also, I've been told I'll need to program the PCM after the replacement. I decided to do it myself. It wasn't difficult at all. I took my time and replaced it. Removed the check engine light with my code reader. I have been traveling for 3 days and have not returned. Very easy repair and troubleshooting.

I have the infamous DTC P26B7 on my 2013 Escape. This part solved the problem and the installation took almost no time. I took the advice of other reviewers and just replaced the top half (solenoid and body) rather than pulling out the entire valve assembly as the top is actually failing. I recommend magnetizing your T20 bit before doing this as the rear right torx screw is difficult to put back in due to its tight placement. The whole job took less than 20 minutes and four engine cycles to…

Fits 2013 Ford Escape 1.6L Ecoboost; This fixed the "26B7" "Computer and Auxiliary Outputs" code on a 2013 Ford Escape that detected random overheating 1 minute after starting a few weeks earlier, causing the car to go into limp mode with no check engine light. Just a few weeks later on a cold morning start the code "26B7" came up and after searching MANY forums this coolant bypass valve is the one. If you get the same random overheating with no check engine light and randomly put the car into…

1. Optional method. Do not remove the entire valve block! This method only takes 20 minutes. Otherwise you'll have to deal with the hose and those two screws at an odd angle. Very tight space and a real pain. You can also damage the hose and have other problems. Instead, remove the four screws on top of the OLD valve and remove it. Pay attention to internal alignments. Four torx screws are used to attach the upper valve. (sorry I don't remember the size) I bought a standard set of cheap Torx…

Took car to Ford dealer for troubleshooting and found engine coolant bypass valve. It was Valve's fault. They quoted me a price of $336.00 for parts and labor which included the cost of rebuilding the fluid. OMG so after I came and put my composer together it was my turn and ordered this part BM5Z-18495-C HVAC Heater Control Valve and did the installation myself and that's how I did it. #1 let the car sit overnight (allowing the engine coolant level to go down) and no more than a cup of…
