Up until now I have had no trouble up until the last week or so when it started to overheat for no reason. I have had various tests done and the compression s tests OK. The problem is that the water does not seem to be circulating and have been told that the system could be air-locked. If anyone can help please get in touch.
This model was and is without the best buy I have ever made and will stay with ford mondeo`s as long as they keep making model`s as good as the 1996 2.0 Ghia x 4x4.
Cylinder compression has little to do with the overheating. Check first the thermostat and the water pump.
Sounds like the impellers may have broken on the water pump, which means your coolant will not circulate.
This is common on mondeos as they are plastic and can break.
You can get hold of metal ones which should not break.
You do not want to be driving your car until problem is sorted as you can cause a lot of damage if car overheats.
I have the same car, but I've got a different problem. knocking sound when engaging gear I think its the bearing jiont on the prop shaft what do you rekon?
