What else can I help you with?
Does a car use more coolant in the cold?
In short no. Your cars cooling system is a sealed unit therefore it should not use any coolant whatsoever no matter the ambient temperature.
Why does the coolant gauge go to 200 degrees?
It is measured in Fahrenheit on US cars, and boiling temperature is 212°F. The scale indicates coolant temperature and over 200 would mean overheating, as steam could form in an unpressurized system.
In a Chevrolet Cobalt the digital coolant numbers goes off then shuts off the ac?
Yes this is a safety precaution for the system to not allow the A/C system to work when the --- appear in the coolant temperature. Replace the coolant temperature sensor to get this --- to start displaying the temperature again.
Where is the temperature sensor on a 306?
The temperature sensor for the coolant system is located on the front of the engine. The exact location of the coolant temperature sensor is dependent upon the year of the engine.
Does a cylinder head temperature sensor in a ford focus control the fan or does the coolant temperature sensor control it?
A coolant system temperature sensor controls it. : CHILTON calls it the cylinder head temperature sensor. Some after market manufacturers call it the coolant temperature sensor. These are equivalent.
Can a thermostat make a cars coolant temperature too cold?
Yes if the thermostat doesn't close coolant will not reach normal operating temperature - therefore vehicle will run cold and not produce adequate cabin heat
Where is the coolant temperature sending unit on a 1993 Ford Explorer?
The coolant temperature sending units are near the thermostat housing. The small one is for your temperature guage, the larger one is for the EEC system.
Can you reuse your antifeeeze coolant after you take it out of your car?

You accidentally put water in the coolant container - what's the damage?
It's alright as long as the temperature of the air outside does not fall below freezing. Most cars have a 50/50 mix of antifreeze/water anyways. If the temperature does fall below freezing and all you have in the coolant system is water, it will cause a lot of damage to the engine and coolant system (it will freeze and expand, tearing hoses and could potentially damage internal components of your engine, such as the head gasket).
Why does your cars hot cold meter not show you how hot your car really is?
The engine coolant temperature sensor is probably at fault.
Is there neutral coolant for cars?
Valvoline MaxLife coolant.
What is the average coolant temperature for a Cadillac?
The average coolant temperature for a Cadillac should typically range between 190-220 degrees Fahrenheit when the engine is at operating temperature. It's important to refer to the specific model's owner's manual for the exact temperature range.
