2002 Mercury Villager overheating. Radiator changed, bled out all the air, thermostat changed and isn't on backwards, hoses changed and new water pump as well! Will run ok for a day or so, then it starts to overheat again! Going nuts!
Exhaust Converter Blocked ?
Did you check for combustion gases at the
coolant or radiator fill
Your down to a head gasket or a crack somewhere
I would think the head gasket is common on that
motor possibly,research that
Timing Belt worn or jumped ?
Timing belt was changed and so was the head gasket. Someone told me it could be a sensor. The needle on the temperature is ready hot but the radiator cap and the hose all feel cool to the touch. I did find a small leak of antifreeze due to a hose that needed tightening so I hope changing the sensors work! Thanks for the info.
Sorry, "the temperature guage is reading hot"

Check the new thermostat by putting it in a pan of water and bringing it to a low boil. See that it opens. It is possible to get bad parts off the shelf.

Check the antifreeze for oil, pull your dipstick out, see if antifreeze is in oil or smells sweet or over full, sounds like you may of a bad head gasket. You can also check this by having a compression test done on the cylinders.
SOURCE: identified leak in intake manifold
I'am sort of missing something here
Was the radiator blocked or replaced as a guess ?
The thermostat i understand
The heater core by pass i don't,what does that prove ?
The shop says - intake manifold hose.
A hose causing overheating,explain that one.
The finally question
What is your question? Did the repair shop
get lost and ask you for help?
SOURCE: 1999 mercury villager is overheating, ive changed
Have it tested for combustion gases in the cooling system. You could have a blown head gasket from all the overheating.
Testimonial: "ok i will do that i also noticed that the lower radiator hose is not getting hot, could that be caused by the combustion gases?"
