Want this question answered?
It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.
put coolant into my over flow car was running hot and the coolant erupted like a volcano on the side of the over flow
I had the same problem on my car. turned out to be a blown head gasket. the no. 1 cylinder was pushing hot gasses into the coolant jacket.
If the coolant reservoir can not maintain the proper level of coolant, it is possible the engine could over heat when the level drops.
On a 2002 Lincoln LS : The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment , on the drivers side , by the firewall ( you can see the cap on the reservoir through a hole in some kind of trim according to a drawing I was looking at )
I had this problem ....Head Gasket or radiator cap
Not much info to go on. First thing to do is pull over and check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. If the reservoir is empty look for obvious leaks and repair as necessary. Never open radiator cap when engine is hot. If you don't see any obvious leaks have vehicle towed to a garage for diagnoses.
The car normally pushes it out the over flow.
It could end up popping the reservoir cover off and "burping" the excess coolant out.
Fill your coolant reservoir and the light should turn off. Do it soon or your engine may over heat.
probably its wrong thermostat and it doesnt open. take it out and run car without it
The battery on a 1995 Chevy Lumina 3100 is located on the right side of the car underneath the engine coolant reservoir. To change the battery, you have to take off safety bar, remove engine coolant reservoir, then undo the battery restraints. Washer fluid reservoir is on right, over battery. Coolant reservoir is on left. There is a hold down piece at bottom of battery, will need an extension to reach it.
