There is no coolant pressure relief valve. Just have to wait for the engine to cool off sufficiently to safely remove the coolant reservoir cap.
There is also not a coolant bleed valve.
Here's are the coolant bleed/burp procedures
NEVER ever think of releasing a radiator - coolant cap when the engine is hot, or even warm!!!Burping: In order to what is sometimes referred to as 'burping' the cooling system - getting a big air bubble out of the closed cooling system, you will actually need to have the car running with the cap off.
NOTE: the coolant level will drop quite a bit when the thermostat opens - that's most of the air bubble in the system being driven to the top of radiator and escaping. Without the air, there's more room for coolant.
Note: if you find the heater going cool or cold when idling, that's a good indicator you might have to burp the system again. Equally likely just adding more coolant to the overflow reservoir will suffice too.
Did I mention to NEVER ever think of releasing a radiator cap when the engine is hot, or even warm? !!!
The heater core could be clogged up.
My 2002 manual says: 11.6 quarts for the Vulcan engine and 10.6 for the Duratec.
In a 2000 Mercury Sable : The thread on cap on the engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap
The thread on cap on the engine coolant reservoir of a 2002 Mercury Sable is the pressure cap / radiator cap
On a 1996 Mercury Sable : The thread on cap on the engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap
No, a Generation 2 (1992-1995) Taurus/Sable Windshield will NOT fit a Generation 3 (1996-1999) Ford Taurus/Sable.
either low coolant or a thermostat stuck openSee "Related Questions" below for much more trouble-shooting and diagnostics for Taurus/Sable "no heat" problems...
On a 2003 Mercury Sable : The thread on cap on the engine coolant reservoir is the 16 PSI pressure cap / radiator cap
On a 2002 Mercury Sable : The thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the 16 PSI pressure cap / radiator cap
99% sure the Taurus radiator will be a perfect match to the Sable's.
No - the Taurus-Sable was significantly redesigned in 1996.
No. 2000 Taurus and Sable are the only interchange.
