Mondeo coolant replacement tutorial: 1. Park the vehicle for a period of time; 2. Keep the car idling while continuously adding clean water to the reservoir; 3. When water stops flowing out, close the drain valve and turn off the engine; 4. Restart the engine; 5. Wait until the coolant level stops moving, then add coolant between the MAX and MIN marks. The Mondeo is a mid-size sedan produced by Ford Motor Company, with body dimensions of 4873 mm in length, 1852 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height. In terms of appearance, the Mondeo features a mesh grille and chrome trim on the tail lights, enhancing its texture and sporty feel.
I recently changed the coolant for my Mondeo by myself, and the steps were quite straightforward. The first step is to ensure the engine is completely cooled, waiting at least a few hours before operating to avoid burns from high-temperature steam. The second step is to open the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator. I used a wrench to slowly loosen it and placed a bucket underneath to catch the old fluid, preventing environmental contamination. The third step is flushing the system: pour in clean water, let the engine run for a few minutes, then drain it, repeating once or twice to remove any residue. The fourth step is adding new coolant—Mondeo recommends using long-lasting, eco-friendly coolant. Fill it slowly up to the radiator's marked line to prevent air from entering. The fifth step is starting the engine for inspection: let it run for a few minutes to check if the temperature is normal, and if there are no leaks, the job is done. The whole process saves money and gives peace of mind. I recommend changing it every two years to protect the engine and extend the car's performance. The first time I did it, I didn’t wait for the engine to cool before opening the cap and nearly got burned. Later, I learned to prepare gloves and safety glasses in advance, and now every coolant change goes smoothly.
