Doesnt have one, you have to remove the bottom hose to drain coolant.
not all vehicles have a rdiator cap. some newer ones ,have the coolant added thru the overflow bottle. if the radiator cap cannot be seen on the radiator it doesnt have one
Could be: Low coolant in the radiator - or - thermostat stuck open - or - heater core plugged.
if it doesnt come on it may be the air charged temp sending sensor.... if it doesnt come on it may be the air charged temp sending sensor....
Low coolant? Bad thermostat? Heater core plugged or restricted? System airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap?
no it doesnt........the overflow container is just there to catch the extra coolant.......it has nothing to do with the heating system
you can but it will wreck it! salt will destroy your water pump and probably make all your freeze plugs rust out in a matter of weeks! salt is very corrosive and will cause lots of damage. If your looking at keeping water from freezing in your engine or radiator stick with coolant. You can run a stronger mixture of coolant that will stand up to the cold better but it doesnt cool as well or vice versa.
If it continues loosing coolant eventually it will start running hot. Without knowing the Make/Model/Year of the vehicle, I'll take a wild guess and say the leak is at the coolant recovery tank or the hose going from the radiator [just below the radiator cap] over to the coolant recovery tank. Untill you find the problem *check* your coolant--running an engine hot can be VERY expensive! Also, check the coolant ****ONLY*** when the engine is COLD [like it hasn't been driven all night]. NEVER check coolant when the engine is hot! Good luck with it and be carefull. Remember, better SAFE than sorry...
Is this the water for your wind screen washer or your radiator ?? if its your radiator water coolant, then its right at the front of the car bonnet next to the radiator itself. It will be the one closest to the radiator. If its the windscreen wash, its at the top left of the bonnet when you look at it from the front of the car. that should have a picture of a wind screen on it. So that ones fairly easy
There has been some talk that the Mercury Villager doesnt have a great cooling system, sometimes a bigger radiator replacement might help.. but either way you have to keep the coolant, timming, etc in perfect state. The reason why it goes from normal to hot then back to normal is because that is usually when the temperature rises hi enouth for the thermostat to open up and lets the cooling back in circulation thru the whole system...
a 99 is a different body style than a 2000 doesnt have the same radiator i do autobody i have worked on both models so no it doesnt
Mercury does not have enough atmosphere and is too hot / cold to support life.
