1997 van Mercury Villager fan not working getting. Hot

SOURCE: 1997 mercury villager, engine removal?

I have'nt done one myself but a friend tells me it is way easier to come out the bottom of the van.Just undo struts at the top ,remove brake lines undo motor mounts and remove framework bolt and take it out as a unit.Getting it up through to mo looks impossible.

SOURCE: I have a 2001 mercury villager that overheats.

You have air trapped in the system. If you have cold air, warm air, cold air from your heater, then it's air entrapment. Very common these days. Go to a shop that uses vacuum method to refill cooling system & that will purge air.
Otherwise, you can try. Park uphill. cold engine - fill radiator to top with 50/50 mix of antifreeze. leave cap on but loose. fill reservior to 3/4 full. Turn heater to hot to allow coolant to flow through heater core. start engine, run at 1500 rpms until thermostat opens and upper hose is hot. tighten cap and let it cool down. after cool check level of reservoir. fill to top line on reservoir. it should **** coolant back into radiator as it cools down.
repeat if still an issue.

go to yahoo group for villager quest & join owner group for much more help. 2500 members.

Testimonial: "Thank you. That is exactly what it was and doing a pressure test we discovered the air was coming in through a microscopic crack in the radiator."
