When you refilled the radiator, did you use a 50/50 mixture of water and anti-freeze? If you only added anti-freeze, it will not cool as efficiently. 1996 Contour SE Sedan 4D (Royal Blue) Duratec V6 2.5L 24-valve DOHC Automatic 75,000 miles No Mods (unless you call the DMD a mod) Replaced EGR valve (gunked up), EVR (EGR VR), PCV valve, and evaporative emissions hose (cracked).

Need to give it a thorough blow job (hmm? sounds clumsy) E0 SVT, Toreador red Custom true-dual cat-back exhaust SHO-shop off-road Y-pipe SHO-shop cold air induction
