Hi,

I own a 2002 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia.
I try to do all the fixing by my self.
I have this problem that I am unable to fix for a while now.
The car heats up when I STOP. I have to push on the gaz in order for it to cool down abit and that does not always work.

Here's the thing! I have replaced the:
1) Radiator
2) Thermostat
3) Water pump
4) all tubes plus coolant reservoir tank

No water is missing. No oil is missing.

the car still heats up.
I am frustrated.

please help.

 

I do want to add that the vents work perfectly.
half speed and full speed.

 

have you correct direction for water pump serpentine belt ??
and thermostat correct way fitted ?
if water pump belt is wrong routing the pump will not cool engine

 

The water pump belt is on perfectly.
I replaced the thermostat again just in case.

however, I have noticed something which I think is weird.
There are little tiny bubbles climbing back into the reservoir tank. (kinda like soda)
could it be a compression lose?! causing the pistons to rise the temperature of the water?

 

likely the water returning in the little pipe is being forced in due to the heat,
if bubbles when cold it would be a problem,
you have warm air in car heaters ?
is your cooling fan operating to cool the engine,
you could try to control the temperature with a manual switch on the radiator fan
