SOURCE: coolant in coolant reservoir did not fill low level in radiator

you must drain air out of system
so when engine is warmed up, just unscrew slightly the thermo time switch which is the highest sensor and unit in cooling system besides the reservoir, until alittle air releases then when antifreeze starts coming out then retighten to specs. BE VERY CAREFUL !!!! LOOSEN VERY SLOWLY AND NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE FOR THIS CAN CAUSE BURNS. MIGHT WANT TO USE A RAG AROUND SENSOR. If this doesnt solve it then make sure you have the correct rad. cap. Also that the filling hose is not clogged as well as the little port on radiator.

SOURCE: 2000 Sunfire coolant problem. Engine overheating,

ok, its time for a radiator flush. there is major sludge in the internals of this radiator. Make sure the thermostat is in the correct position as well. I've seen many cars come into my shop with the thermostat inserted backwards.

When running the engine TOUCH the bottom part of the radiator fins, if the temperature is not the same or cold, u got a blocked radiator FiNS, and u need to replace it! Check also ur Radiator fan, note down what temperature it started to work. If the Fan works at high temp, means ur TEMPERATURE SENSOR switch for rad fan is not working or it has a higher temp operating value! Hope that might solve ur temperament! j/k!

SOURCE: I have a mitsubishi lancer 2002. The coolant reservoir tank is empty. Radiator is full. I just need to add coolant to reservoir. Do i add straight coolant or does it need to be a 50/50 water/coolant m

It is best to add a coolant mix. You can get it ready mixed, but try to ascertain if your car now has in it green mix or red mix. It is best not to mix these 2 mixes LOL
If you cannot make out what is in there now, just add demineralised water.

What would cause antifreeze to come out of the overflow of the reservoir?

Remove radiator cap when car is completely cold. Refill radiator look to see circulation when cap starts turn heater high. When thermostat opens water will be drawn from overflow into radiator. If this does not occur faulty thermostat is probable cause if no circulation change water pump. Refill water to correct levels and car should run correctly

My boyfriend has a 91 Toyota 4runner v6 SR5. He has replaced the radiator and thermostat. Also he has bled the coolant system several times. The truck is still losing coolant. If he drives the truck...

When engine completely cools remove coolant from overflow reservoir to the cold mark on the reservoir which is the lowest mark on reservoir. If you continue to loose coolant you may have busted block.

Overheating

Sufficient coolant? Check the coolant reservoir first. Then, WITH THE ENGINE COOL, undo the radiator cap and check the coolant level in the radiator itself. Fill completely full as needed.

Any noises from the water pump? It may be failing, although a small leak is usually present and you say there's no leaks.

Remove the thermostat and check it by putting it in a pan of boiling water. Does it open like it should? If not, it needs to be replaced.

You CAN run an engine without a thermostat but it will warm up very slowly but that would be a good test to see of that stops the overheating.

Do you have a temp gauge in the dash? Or just a warning light? Do either indicate overheating. If they do, turn on the HEATER [not defroster] and see if the temp goes down or the light goes off. Your radiator may be partially clogged and the heater core will act as kind of a secondary radiator.

How to tell if water pump for 04 cadillac srx needs to be replaced.

Your car will overheat very fast and you may either notice coolant leaking from the location of the pump and also possibly a squealing noise due to a bad bearing. Overheating can also be caused by a bad thermostat.
