Here is what happens. When I first turn the car on and start driving, my engine will start to overheat. When I stop the car and turn it off I get under the hood and open my radiator cap. Now when I open the cap it sounds like it forces the coolant through its system like a valve or pump isn't...
...coolant change and it still heats up.? the thing I have noticed is that there is steam coming from the radiator cap when closed and the dual fans won't turn on, any suggestions?
Hello,
I currently drive an E320 Mercedes that overheats fairly quickly, I mean within 5 minutes of the car being on, the car overheats to 120 degrees and starts evaporating the coolant.
The first time this happened, it cracked my radiator and there was a leak in the radiator well, the...
when i drive my car during worm weahter the trany tends to leak out the vent and i was wondering is there a pump in the trany and how likely is it that the pump would go if there is one? or is it most likely the cooling system in the radiator being clogged?
The temperature gauge went all the way on hot, so we stopped for awhile, refilled the radiator with water, turned on the car, and it cooled down a lot.
We kept going, and eventually it went back to hot, and then we waited and refilled again. There was no leak, but water was boiling out from...
my 98 bmw 528i is having overheating issues. the dial goes up to red within seconds and stays for a few seconds and goes back to 12' oclock position when driving slightly uphill on the freeway in 50 degree raining weather. i changed my tstat about 4 months ago and water pump recently. my...
My laptop keeps overheating, I think my fan isn't working. I never hear it running anymore, is there a way to test my fan/make it run? My laptop is a Dell Latitude D830.
...switched on? i have a 2001 2.0 petrol golf, today the heater in the car suddenly went cold and the temperature gauge started rising. the needle went into the red and i turned the heater on to full (even though it was blowing cold) and switched on the air con. This brought the temp gauge back...
...radiator, hoses, thermostat.? why does it still keep overheating.... also, I put in a refurbished engine(just in case it was the head gasket)
also, i need to replace a part the is behind the waterpump (it think it's some kinda of sensor, but i don't know the name of this part)
1.6 liter RWD. Replaced water pump and thermostat. Thermostat connects to the lower radiator hose. Top hose is hot bottom hose stays cool. What could be the problem?
Just putting this upfront, I know just about nothing about cars so bear with me. I have had the truck for about 6 months (i got it from my dad last summer who took pretty good care of it) and nothing has really gone wrong with it since then. Just recently I was driving home from school (about a...
Recently bought Acura for my daughter as an early graduation gift. The car has overheated since we bought it. Dealership (term used lightly), are re-milling the head, replacing head gasket. Will that fix the overheating problem? (Already has new thermostat, tuned up, new battery, replaced rings...
I have a 00 Honda civic Ex. The thermostat was replaced 2 months ago and three-five months later the radiator was replaced. Lately my car has been heating up more than 2/3rds up the thermostat to nearly the red section. I have checked the fluid levels and they are fine.
It doesn't start heating...
if it only runs for 15 minutes it must be that the belt is either off or the water pump is not working to circulate the fluid through the engine. It could be also that you never actually filled up the engine with coolant completely. you need to do that when it is cooled off. And, some vehicles...
I took it to the vw dealership and they fixed a leaking coolant flange for a nice $520 and then overheated again in two days. I took it back and they wanted to charge me another $1200 to replace water pump,and timing belt and some other stuff. I was upset because they didn't fix is the first...
So let's start from the beginning. Car was overheating, and we had it "fixed." Then, after 2 months, the car is starting to overheat again. My friend's parents put in coolant and the car was working fine for 3 weeks. Then, the car started to overheat again. We again put in coolant. Eventually...
