Hi all:
I've read differing opinions but I know there are some very knowledgeable Zetec/Focus people on this board. I have had a seeping, developed to full blown leaking heater/coolant hose on my Focus and I just replaced it today. It's the one the runs from the thermostat housing to the front plastic'crossover' pipe, I didn't lose much coolant at all replacing it, I topped off the coolant tank and ran the car for about 5 minutes. The heat works and the hose is getting hot.
Do I need to burp air out of the cooling system on this car? I've read that because it's a pressurized tank, yadda yadda that it's sort of self-burping.
