  1. Expansion valve

    Yes, per the shop manual it can be removed from the engine bay, just a couple of bolts after the lines are disconnected.
  2. Door Hinge Issues

    It's not a hinge, it's the door check, it's designed to hold the door open, partially or fully, so that it doesn't swing freely.
  3. A/C Evaporator Replaced Due To Leak

    When I did this, I removed the automatic shifter. It comes out easily and makes it much easier to remove the dash. I also removed the steering column and wheel from the dash to make it easier to maneuver.
  4. Ecoboost filter directly on turbo?

    The ecoboost doesn't have a Mass Airflow Sensor, just a temperature sensor for the inlet. It will start and run with the air cleaner duct removed from the turbo.......
  5. 2017 v6 Passenger Airbag Replacement

    Unfortunately, the dash does have to be replaced, you might be able to find a used one in a junkyard, As far as removing the dash, it is a big job, but not really a hard job. If you do some searching on here for air conditioner evaporator leaks or replacement, you'll find several threads...
  6. DRL Lighting Issue - DRLs go off when engine is running.

    I see that you are in the UK, it's possible that the daytime running lights are not programmed to be on due to the lighting laws in the UK.
  7. Does nanny plug disable accelerometer

    Disconnecting the nanny plug interrupts the data communication to the ABS module, which would explain your issue. Most everything having to do with traction control, stability control, ABS and acceleration will be disabled.
  8. S550 Mustang Dash Removal

    Check the refrigerant pressures, if they are normal, then it may be a blend door problem. If the charge is low, then you've got a leak. On mine, there was a definite diference in temperature between the driver side and the passenger side and it was for sure a leaking evaporator.
  9. S550 Mustang Dash Removal

    It's a big job, but not a difficult job.. The links that Vlad Soare posted above will give you a general idea of what's involved. You may also find this thread helpful: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/a-c-evaporator-replaced-due-to-leak.136187/ I did my 2016 myself, took about 2...
  10. GLOVEBOX REMOVAL

    The glovebox door is actually the knee airbag for the passenger, removing it is a little involved compared to most others. You can disconnect the snubber (keeps the door from flopping open) and lower the door to fully open. Getting to the filter isn't too bad, lots of youtube videos on this.
  11. 2018 GT Airbag light on cluster

    Ahhhh, you have a European spec car, which has a "deployable bonnet". There is a piston under each hood hinge that is supposed to extend during a frontal impact. The idea is that if you hit a pedestrian, the back end of the hood will be raised up to soften the impact of the pedestrian onto the...
  12. Grille Shutters - Not So Much

    Well, learned something new! Just as an aside, my 88 Porsche 928 also has grill shutters, which, according to Porsche literature, were there for better aerodynamics at higher speeds.........
  13. Front left lights issue

    Lower left light? Are you talking about the fog light? If so, see if the right side behaves the same way, it's normal for the fog light on one side to be turned off when the turn signal on that side is activated. This is done to make the turn signal light more visible...
  14. Max Cylinder Head Temperature 5.0 / 2.3 L

    I think he's referring to an aftermarket cover to protect the front end from rock chips and such. Also known as a bra..........
  15. Grille Shutters - Not So Much

    I assume you bought this as a used car? If so, the previous owner may have removed the shutter assembly. I don't believe the rubber flap you have is a factory installation.
