In systems that do not have a radiator cap, the coolant is drained by the radiator drain plug. It is filled by adding coolant to the system through the overflow bottle.

Doesnt have one, you have to remove the bottom hose to drain coolant.
Why doesnt the heat work in a 1998 Mazda millenia?
Low coolant? Bad thermostat? Heater core plugged or restricted? System airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap?

Where is radiator cap located on a 1999 Oldsmobile alero?
not all vehicles have a rdiator cap. some newer ones ,have the coolant added thru the overflow bottle. if the radiator cap cannot be seen on the radiator it doesnt have one
What is wrong with your vehicle if it leaks antifreeze but doesnt run hot?
If it continues loosing coolant eventually it will start running hot. Without knowing the Make/Model/Year of the vehicle, I'll take a wild guess and say the leak is at the coolant recovery tank or the hose going from the radiator [just below the radiator cap] over to the coolant recovery tank. Untill you find the problem *check* your coolant--running an engine hot can be VERY expensive! Also, check the coolant ****ONLY*** when the engine is COLD [like it hasn't been driven all night]. NEVER check coolant when the engine is hot! Good luck with it and be carefull. Remember, better SAFE than sorry...
Does the radiator overflow reservoir need to be full for the heater to work in a Toy '94 4x4 pickup?
no it doesnt........the overflow container is just there to catch the extra coolant.......it has nothing to do with the heating system
Can you put salt in your radiator?
you can but it will wreck it! salt will destroy your water pump and probably make all your freeze plugs rust out in a matter of weeks! salt is very corrosive and will cause lots of damage. If your looking at keeping water from freezing in your engine or radiator stick with coolant. You can run a stronger mixture of coolant that will stand up to the cold better but it doesnt cool as well or vice versa.
What coolant does the 1992 Dodge spirit V6 engine use?
An Spirit engine doesnt use any spacific type of coolant, as long as its a 50/50 mix.
Your 2003 golf keeps burning through coolant but doesnt overheat and the coolant light always comes on eventhough there isn't a leak any idea on what is wrong?
My 1997 Golf does the same thing. I think VWs just tend to have really sensitive sensors?
What is the meaning of a red light with arrow pointing down on the instrument panel in a 1993 Camaro Z28?
The low coolant symbol indicates low coolant, but if radiator and coolant resivoir are filled ok....the sensors go bad often. This happened to me. I checked coolant in radiator for weeks and finally replaced sensor. they are poorly made!!.....Pete :-} Red always means stop. If you had an owner's manual you could look this up. As I am not a Camaro owner, I can only guess. Is it possible that this is a warning that you are over reeving the engine? I have a 1999 Camaro Z28. According to the owners manual, a red arrow pointing down signifies a low coolant level. RED ARROW POINTING DOWN SIMPLY MEANS LOW COOLANT. SOMETIMES IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING AND THE SENSORS ACT UP ON 93 AND 94 MODELS. Sadly, they still haven't corrected this problem by 1996 as I have a Z28 that does the same thing . Low coolant is the indicator light, but there ris plenty of coolant so the switch is bad.
How do you change-flush the coolant on a 98 Jetta VR6?
well, for all those fellow enthusist of vw welcome to the automotive world these vw vehicles are very simple and complex enjoy it and do routine maintnance and your car will take you along way. but to change the coolant on a 1998-99 vw jetta pull the hose on the bottom of the radiator the hose is most likely on the passenger side of the radiator. good luck. dont worry about the coolant you use, the vw dealer would charge you $ jus to change it when it only takes like half an hour 149 in doesnt really matter but do a 50/50 mix with the water and coolant.
