1992 Ford Aerostar. Radiator/Cooling issue?
I just got this van knowing it needed a radiator. When I went to get a flush to see if that'd fix it. STS said they couldn't flush it because it was clogged with rust. I was also clogged the water pump. Basically everything needed to be replaced. They did not charge me, and gave me a guess of around $1000.00.
Does this seem right? The price? That a flush will not fix the problem? And that everything needs to be replaced?
If the cooling system has been neglected, the system will corrode and plug up. At that point you have to start replacing parts. A flush isn't magic.
- Top up of water - CAR - cooling system - anti freeze? I have a low coolant level in my 2004 ford card. i was told i need a top up of antifreeze or just a pure water should do good for the time being. As they say, antifreez is nothing but a mix of water. what is the difference between topping up with pure water and a actual antifree here.
- How long does a cooling fan stay on for before kicking back off? I've noticed that my 2005 ford mustang cooling fans stay on for a long period of time but they turn off when i shut off the car why is this happening i really didn't notice it till now
- How to clean a cooling system inside an enging? I've got a 1967 Ford Custom 500. I'm doing some slow work on it with some family and need to clean the cooling system inside the engine. Could you help me out please? Any description helps and a video would be really appreciated.
- Why do my cooling fans not work sometimes? 2003 Ford Focus. The cooling fans usually work when they need to, but sometimes they don't which causes the car overheats. I've replaced the entire cooling fan assembly including the resister and a resister connected that was burned up. I'm still having the same issue. It happens when I drive around in the heat for a while. I've also replaces the thermostat and the temperature gauge with no luck.
