I have a 1998 ford mondeo 2.5 V6 ghia. it is overheating, there is no signs to indicate a head gasket, (oil in water, water in oil etc) but it still boils the water, running into the red. this is even on very light journeys (couple of miles if that) we took out the thermostat, didn't work. then we replaced the radiator as the old one had some blockages, still no joy. any other segestions? Thanks.

Unfortunately you have a piece of **** car made by lazy, cheap Americans. For your next vehicle, go Japanese or German and you wont have these costly annoying issues.

just like some of the others have sais water pump is a possibility, but you could still have a blockage in some of the pipes. when the engine is up yo temp check all the water hoses to see if they are all hot. if no then you may have a blockage, if so take the hoses off and run water through them to check. then try and do the same through the engine.

just make sure you have a good antifreeze mix. Most antifreeze mixes aid heat transfer and will allow your car to transfer out the heat that is being generated better than regular water.

You have a blown head gasket and continuing to mess with it, the water is getting into all the places it shouldn't. Stop now, and try to save the engine but you definitely have a head gasket problem.

Try replacing the waterpump and flush the entire system with a good flusher and that should solve the problem.

Hi
It could be water pump failure, it certainly sounds like it to me.
Have the cooling system pressure tested.
