Heater core may be air bound and have to be bled Heater core may be plugged or restricted Thermostat may not be opening allowing coolant flow to core
have the head gasket replaced
95 aurora runs normal temp,but coolant res low with dash signaling low coolant.not overheating but,reservoi low.driping coolant slightly after a run.????????????????this happens starting with cold car and full reservoi.any ideas?
pluged cooling fins in and on the radiador
No , this coolant is coming from your heater core and you are losing engine coolant ; you need to have this repaired because the engine will overheat and suffer damage that will be more expensive than the repair of the heater core .
Possibly ruptured heater core. if you are losing coolant-check it out.
If it had no leaks it would not be loosing coolant. So therefore it does have a leak. It can be leaking in a spot where the coolant burns away before dripping on the ground. Also a blown head gasket is a possibility. Look for coolant in the oil. A heater core can leak. Do you smell coolant inside the car or are the windows fogging up or developing a film. You need to have a pressure test run on the cooling system and find this leak.
coolant smell/leakyes more than likely that's your prob. but could be maybe a hose.
If your Ford Aerostar is overheating and losing water, it may be a bad radiator. You need to take your car in to get serviced.
If it is not losing coolant I would expect a plugged radiator.
If it's a VW, it's the water pump. For the temp gauge to read properly, it must have LIQUID coolant flowing over it. Steam will not provide a proper reading. If there's a coolant leak, it could produce a fluctuating reading. If you're losing coolant but not finding coolant puddling under your car, then the leak is not just a hose or line. It could be a manifold gasket or something. That ain't good. I recently ditched an old car because of that exact problem.
Check your temperature guage. Is the vehicle overheating? Are you losing coolant? Did you overfill your oil or do you have fluid leaking anywhere onto your exhaust? If you are using coolant or if its running hot, it is probably a head gasket issue.
Losing coolant in a vehicle is not a good thing. It is best to check all seals and all bends in tubing.
