the engine will overheat!for a start ,and the dash water temperature light will come on!there will be steam coming from the radiator...
Check engine. Is radiator really full? Does the rad. fan come on? Is the fan belt on water pump tight? If these things are ok, you probably need a new thermostat.
easiest way to tell if water pump is working is to run engine until at running temp. then carefully remove radiator cap. with someone slightly reving engine, look into radiator. if the pump and thermostat are working correctly, you will see the coolant moving(circulating) in the radiator
You need to go get your car looked at by an auto repairman if you have a crack in your auto radiator. They can tell you if it needs replaced or just fixed.
The radiator will leak, Its function is to hold water in a way as to cool it for the engine. So if it leaks, its busted.
how can you tell if you need a radiator in a 99 cadillac northstar engine
What I do is put half antifreeze and half water in to the radiator and keep putting more radiator fluid tell you see it in the neck of the radiator and put some radiator fluid in the coolant reservoir tank too.
Top hose of radiator is hot and engine is still over heating usually.
One can locate a Peugeot dealer in their area by visiting the Peugeot website. The site has a search function that will tell the user where a dealer is in their area.
I presume you mean car water pump? If the water pump is faulty the car will over heat and the temperature gauge will go up. Make sure that there is enough coolant in the radiator, the radiator or the hose pipe is not leaking and the radiator cap is not faulty, as all of these faults can cause overheating. Once you have excluded these then you can blame the water pump.
Camels store water in their humps so a camel with a shrunken hump needs water.
Run engine to normal operating temperature witout radiator cap Observe coolant circulation If coolant blows out of radiator - could be a stuck thermostat If no circulation could be a bad water pump
There is a small hole in the bottom that is designed to leak when the water pump bearing is goin out
