So after my 93FD blue a lower coolant seal the car has basically been sitting for nearly 7 years. None of the fluids got drained. (I know, I know)

What sort of parts/systems should I expect to replace? I've heard everything from the differential to the transmission to ABS pump to fuel filter. Any helps is appreciated!

Lower coolant seal? ...inside the engine or lower coolant hose for the radiator? Big difference.

If it was just a hose, replace the hose, fill with coolant/water, change engine oil/filter, trans and diff fluid, spark plugs, drain the gas/**** out of the tank, fuel filter, flush the fuel lines. Hit the key. It should start right up.

If it's a internal coolant seal, well, obviously, you need to rebuild the engine and do all the aforementioned maintenance.

Work on your communication and terminology. Never seen a "blue lower coolant seal".

Good luck.

Well, just re-read your post, the car still has a blown coolant seal? If it's sat with a blown seal THAT long, there's a high probability that motor is rusted trash.


I wouldn't worry about other stuff until you address that seal. You most likely will need a whole new engine, you may have very few salvageable parts in that motor. The water gets into the combustion chamber and rusts everything up like crazy.

Ugh. This is what I get for posting when tired. Yeah sorry I meant 93 FD blew (Was thinking Montego Blue) the lower coolant seal in the engine.

Dale, your probably right but I really hope not! I don't think it had much coolant in the housing but it probably seeped in over time.

Thanks guys!
