Hello i need help with escort it has big problems to get up to operating temp while idling it does get there eventually but when driving it takes like 20 km to get the heater blow warmer air. When idling i can feel that the upper radiator hose is getting warm slowly but it is not under pressure only when it gets up to some tempeature it gets some pressure which tells me that the thermostat is working. I have read about the cvh thermostat housing and it has some kind of plastic ball inside that melts when engine overheats which i think is my problem because last year my engine overheated because of faulty fan when it overheated i replaced the coolant tempeature sensor and the thermostat thinking it would help but it didnt since then i have no heat :( . Now that i know the ball inside is melted i know that coolant is bypassing the thermostat going straight into the radiator. I wanted to get new housing but that is impossible in my country nobody has it anymore so im here to ask if there is any possibility how to repair the housing or maybe partially plug the hole so that it can still flow trough but not so much. Thanks for any suggestions on repair.
