If the engine coolant reservoir has a thread on cap , that is your
pressure cap / " radiator cap "
Check the PCM/Power Control Module/Computer. I had a 98 do the same thing to me. The PCM will be hot to the touch when the problem occurs. The PCM is located on the passenger side firewall in the motor compartment, behind your radiator overflow bottle.
If your 1997 Subaru Legacy is the same as My RS-B Twin Turbo?, the Radiator and Overflow bottle have to come out and the Thermostat is at the front of the Engine, down the bottom-just to the right of centre, (Thermostat is inside the bottom radiator hose), - My Thermostat just twisted/pulled out, let all old coolant flush out-put New Thermostat in its place, Radiator and Overflow bottle were put back in and radiator topped up with fresh coolant and water, Overflow was filled to second line as it should be, car was started with heater on full for 5 minutes to disperse any air in water - (note) after adding fresh coolant, add water in Radiator till it can't take anymore-to show its filled properly.
It is not the same thing. Filler cap is on the plastic overflow tank with the plastic flip over cap. The rad cap is a pressure cap on the radiator and it is made of metal and it unscrews
a 99 is a different body style than a 2000 doesnt have the same radiator i do autobody i have worked on both models so no it doesnt
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
Typically,all radiators are the same. First, I would make sure that you didn't over fill the radiator AND the overflow, that tends to make some of it leak out.
The Volvo design has a pressurized cap on the overflow resevoir. It's rated for presssures of 1.5 kPa for many models, doing the same thing as the metal cap on the typical American brand cars.
I, too, am the owner of a 1995 Saturn SC1 and had the same question. The answer is no, not without unhooking the radiator. Sounds stupid to me, but that's the way it is!
if its the same as the lhs 97 model its on the overflow reservoir not the radiator its self the reservoir is next to the firewall on passenger side mine has a red relieve valve on a silver cap
probably the same place as on the 66 chevelle as they are both A-bodies, the washer bottle is on the drivers side right next to the radiator and mounts in a holder that is bolted to the radiator support.
I was having the same problem with my 99 explorer. What I discovered was that the overflow tank for the radiator was empty and was causing a false reading by the temp gauge.
Yes. Cooling fan, engine fan, and radiator fan relays are all the same thing.
