it turns brown when it is burnt, hasn't been changed often enough, you can replace it and you should be find
The #1 cause of cold air from the heater when the car is stopped, or the engine is idling, low engine coolant levels.
it sounds like your primary coolant fan has quit and when you turn your A/C on it causes your secondary coolant fan to turn on and then cools the coolant in your radiator!
they turn brown to get squishy and then turn into smush banannas
The fan comes on and run continuously when the A/C is engaged which is normal. It will also come on to cool the coolant in the radiator to prevent the engine from overheating once the coolant reaches a predetermined temperature.
The head of an engine is cooled from passages in the block. When you blow a head gasket the coolant gets by the passages and into the combustion chamber. Sometimes the coolant doesn't go into the chamber but goes into the oil pan causing the engine oil to turn a milky brown color (looks like a chocolate milkshake).
Fill your coolant reservoir and the light should turn off. Do it soon or your engine may over heat.
In an emergency, yes. The correct type is preferred. Mixing types can causes the coolant to turn into a thick slime.In an emergency, yes. The correct type is preferred. Mixing types can causes the coolant to turn into a thick slime.
Engine coolant temp running 220 degree F
Possible trany cooler leak
The coolant level switch on a 95 Achieva has a sticking problem. If you tap the coolant tank near the sensor the light will go out
No , the engine coolant will start flowing through the radiator when the engine coolant thermostat starts to open ( assuming everything is working properly ) Helpfull
When you switch the A/C on, the A/C compressor engages and puts an extra LOAD on the engine. The engine has to work harder to drive the A/C system. This extra load causes heat inside the engine and the coolant must carry this extra heat away. As the coolant picks up more of the heat, you will see the temp rise. Once you disengage the A/C, the coolant doesn't have this extra heat to carry so the temp goes back to normal operating temp.
