  Hi all, Could someone advise me on the frequency of changing coolant/anti-freeze. My car is filled with the recommended G12Plus which is classed as a 'filled for life' coolant. How long is 'life'?

  Our trusty old Ford Fusion (2003 - 1.6 petrol engine) has been leaking coolant for a couple of years now, and we simply top it up every week or two with about 100 ml of coolant. The coolant drips from the bottom of the engine sump, but seems to be coming from higher up somewhere behind the AC

  Has anyone else had a problem with this ?   I checked the coolant level, it's ok, removed the plug from the reservoir and put it back in, and the little red light is still flashing. I think it's still safe to drive as I drove about 5 miles (within city limits)  and the engine

  The coolant temperature in my car has always been around 70 -75.  It suddenly moved to 90 last week on a long journey (but has not yet gone above this level).  At the same time the engine started to make a noise - almost as if it was straining when in 3rd or 4th gear at speeds of over

  Does anyone know whether the Mk3 mondeo 1.8 petrol has two different coolant temperature sensors (one for the guage and one for the ECU) like the Mk2? I know there is one built into the thermostat housing, but not sure whether this is for guage, ECU or both. The car can be quite difficult
