How do you get antifreeze to the motor after changing thermostat?
The water pump will pump coolant(antifreeze & water) through the engine after the thermostat opens up.
What is the better coolant for a car engine antifreeze or water?
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
If antifreeze puddle on ground from under coolant bucket do i need water pump?
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
What can cause a car to pour antifreeze out of automobile?
bad water pump
Why Antifreeze is leaking from the bottom of the engine?
Usually a leaking hose into or out of the water pump (depending on its location), or the water pump gasket.
If you have an antifreeze leak but no overheating can the cause still be the water pump?
yes, leaking coolant is what happens before the pump totally dies, then you have overheating and possible engine damage soon after the leaking.
Will a bad water pump cause your antifreeze to leak out in the dodge neon?
Yes, it can.
How do you know if you ruined your engine by puting only water in your antifreeze container and it freezes?
That alone won't do it. The risks of just running water are that it won't thaw out quickly enough to cool the engine, and that can cause overheating. The other risk is that, if you just run water, you're supposed to add a lubricant to it to lube the water pump... not doing this can cause your water pump to go back, then you run into overheating issues because of that pump not working.
Could antifreeze be leaking from the water pump gasket?
Yes, antifreeze can leak from a water pump gasket.
How do you replace water pump on a 1995 ford bronco?
A water pump is not really a water pump. It carries the fluid, antifreeze/coolant, from the the reservoir to the radiator/engine to keep it cool. It is now referred to as a "fluid pump"
How can you tell if antifreeze leak is caused by the water pump?
I am sure you have a v8 engine----if so the water pump weep hole will leak antifreeze and show up running down the lower rad hose on the water pump side ---of course there are other places antifreeze can leak at the front of the engine such as the water pump mounting gasket----the lower left (drivers side) p ump mounting bolt---as it enters the water jacket--- the timing caver gasket and the intake manifold gasket but the pump is the most likely place
What would be leaking antifreeze from the front of the engine on a 1993 cougar?
Radiator or hose but probably water pump
