What is wrong with my ford mondeo 98 if its needs 10 litres of water and wont stay runing on its own?
Answers:
i think you answerd your own Q, its a ford but dont worry the company circled the problem for you.lol
its sounds like it has a bad water pump
its because its a mondeo.. or maybe the head gasket has blown.
It could mean that it needs a new water pump and sending unit
Get water pump, head gaskit and ECU checked out.
hi there, sounds like head gasket, check the dipstick to see if level is over the maximum also check if oil is watery but more likely the water is leaking through blown gasket into exhaust and causing back pressure which in turn will not keep the engine running,
looks like your head gasket (or heads) went Bye-Bye. . Check the oil for water (frothy color) and when you fill the coolant and start it. look for steam out the tailpipe.
head gasket and because its a ford, buy a dodge it that want happen
if the zetec engine there is a pipe that runs round inlet side cam pulley end which bursts.if engine has been hot at all head gasket will most deffinatly be burst &head will require skimming.Also these engines when roasted have a tendency for the valveseats to leak badly hence not wanting to run on its own.Best &cheapest fix is a complete engine from a reputible source as car value to low to justify repair bill.
Check. head gasket.. (foam in oil cap). all connections to/from radiator.. also pipes to/from radiator exansion bottle..
It has serious problems, do not drive it until you get it checked out by a pro. If you have driven it then i would presume you will be looking for an engine as these fords dont take well to being run without water. It would also be a cheaper option than than replacing head etc
