When 2001 Ford Taurus runs hot in idle do you need to add water to radiator?
Not necessarily! Let it cool down then check the radiator water level and the water overflow reservoir tank. In a properly operating system the reservoir adds water as needed to the radiator when it cools down after you quit driving. #1. The radiator should be full of water and the reservoir tank should be 3/4 full of water. #2. At a certain temperature or with the "AC on" the radiator fan(s) should be sucking air over the radiator and cooling coils. So! Fill the radiator and the reservoir and when it overheats in idle see if the fans behind the radiator are operating.

How do you tell if you've overfilled your radiator and what are the consequences of doing so?
On older cars / trucks that do not have a coolant recovery tank you should fill the radiator to approximately one inch below the opening. ( when the engine is COLD } On more modern cars / trucks that have a coolant recovery tank, the radiator should be completely filled and the recovery tank should be filled to the full cold mark. You should only do this when the engine is cold to avoid personal injury. Why is the cooling system low? A pressure test should be performed and all leaks repaired.
