Ford Mondeo 1.8 Diesel - Cooling System - Blindsid

hi

had an issue for the last 2 weeks, I had a water pipe come off made the car over heat I topped the header tank back up and reconnected the pipe it lasted 10 days then came off again.

The pipe that is causing the problem is situated in the centre of the engine area almost on the bulk head I'm no mechanic lol

The heater tank doesn't get hot after 20 minutes driving but the pipe that is causing the problem that goes into a mechanical part does and very hot.

If you need a picture of the pipe and the mechanical part it goes into cause this doesn't make sense please respond with e-mail address.

I was thinking of changing the thermostat but haven't yet or the water pump but not being mechanically minded I came here to ask the experts.

thank you for your time.

Either the pipe is not securely fixed or itsbeing blown off by excessive pressure in the cooling system, this could be either because its getting very hot - what is the temperature guage reading? or the head gasket is leaking and pressurising the system.
