So I’m pretty sure the problem is solved. I’ve had it running for a good hour now. It warmed up perfectly as I cycled through the heat/ac and bled the air out. I let it idle for a good hour while doing this with no issues then took it for a spin and everything seems fine. The temp gauge now...

Hey guys, thanks for all the input. So upon further consideration I’ve decided to replace the elbow as well. I’m in the midst of doing the repairs and upon inspection of the t-stat housing I’ve noticed a crack in the centre where the needle comes into. I’m not finished the repairs yet but...

Ok I've gone ahead and ordered these parts, I will be replacing the thermostat and its housing, and the main plastic body it attaches to along with all gaskets in between (4 gaskets in total). Altogether I`ll be paying $220 CAD. Pretty good deal I guess for all OEM parts. I've opted out of...

Thanks Grizzlyls, I'll surely look into that option!

Understood, I see why you refer to the T-Stat housing and plastic parts. If those plastic pieces have deteriorated on the interior as you mentioned, then fluid channeling will most likely happen causing who knows what issues. I'll start putting my parts list together, I'm not sure I'll go as...

So I haven't tried to fix this issue yet as time has not allowed, the car has been parked since the engine light came on. I appreciate the input here fella's. I will have time in the coming days to tackle this, I may try one last time to bleed the system again but am thinking it won't make any...

I was afraid you would say that :( I guess I'll start this evening by taking off the thermostat to see what I find. I don't have a lot of free cash right now so I will be a bit hesitant to start on a full cooling system makeover. With any luck the plastic parts will hold up for a little...

Hi all :) I own a 2006 Lincoln LS V8 for 10 years now. It has 210,000 kms. So I noticed a couple weeks ago my engine temp gauge was just a touch under the normal position it usually is at, indicating the engine temp is below norm. Then, a few days ago my engine light came on and I pulled...

Well, problems are solved by the feel of it..plus it's not beeping every 2 seconds anymore for the parking brake and also not 50 times in a row after I shut it off lol. Almost seems like someone's shooting quick start up the intake it's cranking so fast Best part is I didn't even have to...

So I seem to be having an issue with my "Service Parking Brake" light and the dash beeps at me like I owe it money upon shutting off. I've very recently changed my DCCV, and am just about to change my battery as I'm sure its original to the car. The battery is NFG that much I'm sure of, I need...

Thanks for the info in this post, mine is leaking now (a/c stopped working last fall before parking for the winter( I finally changed mine, the a/c stopped working awhile ago then the dccv finally started to leak slowly then very progressively. At first I thought maybe it was one of the hoses...

Thanks for the GenII fuse location Joegr. I was on vacation this past weekend and realized while on the road I blew both fuses #10 & #12 a few weekends earlier while using an electric motor to blow up rafts for river floating. Anyway, the pregnant wife and I got on the road heading for a...

LOL i guess you never know. I needed the laugh thanks :) starting to be one thing after another with this car..good thing she's pretty to look at!

Can you damage the vehicle by driving it when needing to replace the Dccv? I think mine just went on me too and its +30c out! I noticed yesterday i went to turn the a/c on and it was hot. I checked for codes and got none (the engine light is not on..but i have a new code reader so why not use...

***Update*** Hey guys, so I'm confident I have it fixed!! I ended up getting the code from the original EGR - P0108. I just needed to take it for another drive, it literally came on half a block away. Anyways, I picked up an OEM EGR for $100 or so out of N.C. and had it shipped...

I was thinking that was a possibility too. Either way I guess I'll still be needing another EGR. It'll be a couple weeks, but I'll post an update once it happens. Thanks for the help on this everyone, I very much appreciate it.

Ok so I've had time to swap back EGR valves. Now im really confused haha! Putting back on the original EGR where I was originally getting code P0108.. The engine light hasn't come on yet after taking it on and off the highway a few times for a total of 20 miles or so with turning it off and on...

Stugots I am certain everything is installed correctly yes. I may put new vacuum lines on just in case. I will also put my old EGR back on just to see what code it gives and cross reference them both.(hopefully I'll have time today). So Joe..your thoughts are the aftermarket EGR I bought is...

Ok so I picked up the code reader and pulled this code P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit Low My original code from the dealership was P0108. The dealership was pretty vague with the code description on the invoice.. It says P0108 Needs AGR Valve Assembly. (They actually...

Thanks guys, I'll pick it up in the morning see what code I get.
