First thing I'd be wanting to know.. Is The thermostat opening.. Check the state of the bottom hoses next time it seems to overheat.. If they are still relatively cool then you have no radiator cooling..
On reasonably long journies recently my coolant temp were up to around 98 degrees but I can't remember it exceeding that.. On the couple of occosion I pulled in for a break my bottom hoses were relatively cool.. So certainly hadn't been in use a lot.. My Stat is supposed to start to open at 82deg and be fully open at 96.. But the Stat bulb will not be in the direct flow of coolant from the engine, but in the leg of the housing fed from the bottom radiator hose I think.. So it will take longer to open than the coolant temp suggests.. My thoughts anyway.. 👍 |

Being yours a 2007 you could also remove the small thermostat on the oil cooler. As for a new coolant just pick one with the right specs (Ford WSS-M97B44-D) Puma 110" SW
