SSM 46937 – 2013-2016 Escape – 1.6L EcoBoost Engine – Fastener Installation Verification During Air Conditioning (A/C) Suction Line Replacement
Some 2013-2016 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.6L EcoBoost engine may require the replacement of the A/C suction line.
When replacing the suction line, verify that all of the compressor to engine block fasteners are installed and torqued properly.
The compressor requires three fasteners – 2 bolts (W701331-S442) and one stud/nut – installed securing it to the engine block and torqued to 25 Nm (18 lb.ft) per the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00 under removal and installation.
Improper number of compressor fasteners and/or incorrect torque may cause repeat failure of the A/C suction line connected to the compressor.
