2017 Escape Titanium 2.0 EcoBoost

Had the intercooler hose blow off before, had a mechanic put it back on, now a month and half later it came off again while my wife was driving it. Is there an easy way to get up to the intercooler ports to reattach the hoses without taking the front bumper assembly off?

Is there an easy way to get up to the intercooler ports to reattach the hoses without taking the front bumper assembly off?

I can get to mine (2013) by removing the under-body shield. Which hose is blowing off?

I'll have to check when I get home, I am diagnosing that as the issue due to what the mechanic told me the last time versus the symptoms that she told me about happening this time.

Don't drive it if the intercooler hose has come off- it could cause turbo damage.

I've read of people having that issue with aftermarket intercoolers and apparently some hair spray on the fitting before sliding the hose on helps keep the hoses on. You may need a new clamp though- if it's happened with factory parts?
