if your putting all that money into them i suggest you just something different not a windstar, they are good vans to start out with but they go way down hill afterwards thats what the ford dealer repair man told me they have taurus engines in them so they if you have a taurus with the same problem you know what to do already dont waste your money get something new, cars are not an investment get your money worth out of a vehicle not put all your money into it, dont trust mechanics who say they can fix it and it will be fine cause it wont.

Replying to: okaybabs (Feb 21, 2008 10:58 pm) This 1995 Windstar GL, has some serious issues, the problem you had discrible, indicates a blown head gasket, I had mind replaced 3 times...first 2 was repaired free, third costed me $2600 US dollars, it is very expensive repair. you can check a few things to see if this might be the problem.. you mentioned gasket burned, head gasket?? * did you notice exhaust bellowing white smoke before it stop running? * check the radiator, to see if you have any oil in the coolant? * any water or coolant in the exhaust system? All indicates a blown head gasket, due to incompatible and chemical reaction of different metals of the gasket and engine.
