    Wrong anti-freeze.

    Get it drained down, flushed out really well, and refill with proper Ford pink/orange antifreeze, which is supposed to last the life of the car.

    (Anti-freeze is vital as an anti-corrosion measure)

    That's a very good point, and often overlooked, even by those in the trade, who should know better
