2015 Ford Transit Connect Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These symptoms can point to depleted coolant protection or a leak. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A service visit can test the system and identify the condition found.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps separate routine coolant maintenance from a leak that needs repair. The inspection evaluates the components that contain and circulate the coolant.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

That schedule is the authority for replacement timing, while coolant condition can be tested at a service visit between those points. A pressure test also helps identify a leak that may require attention regardless of the maintenance schedule. Book an inspection if the gauge runs high or the coolant level changes.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during a service visit
• Pressure test the system when a leak is suspected

Coolants are not interchangeable, so choosing fluid by convenience can compromise the intended protection. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. David McDavid Ford can use the manufacturer-specified coolant during service and evaluate the system's condition.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

A level that keeps dropping indicates a leak rather than normal consumption and is a reason to book an inspection. Never open a cooling system when it is hot or pressurized; checking it is done cold. The condition of the coolant and the system should be evaluated together.

• Adding coolant restores level only
• Repeated level loss points to a leak
• Check the system cold, not when hot or pressurized
