Want this question answered?
The radiator alone, aprox 1 gallon. The cooling system including the engine block, heater core, radiator and hoses, aprox 3 1/2 gallons.
When you say "hoses". I would think you are talking about the cooler hoses from the transmittion to the radiator. They go to the radiator. there is an transmittion oil cooler built in to the radiator. the cooler is just a coil of metal pipe in the coolant(anti-freeze). It doesn't matter witch way the hoses go (in or out), it will still work fine. If it the vaccum hose that you are talkintg about, it goes to the intake manifold.
The radiator hoses are held in place with a clamp. The clamp goes around the hose and can be tighten with a screwdriver. Loosen the clamp on each end of the radiator hose to remove the hose.
pretty straight forward as the rad hoses are much larger in diameter than the heater hoses,one goes at the top of the rad,one at the bottom,the 2 small hose ports don't matter- one goes in,one goes out,the heat doesn't care which way it goes.
In between the valve cover and intake manifold. Towards the front of the motor. You see your upper radiator hose goes right to it. You'll have to remove the hoses that go from your valve cover to the throttle body to access it.
it goes into your radiator, and then through your cooling system
the heater hoses usually lead away from the thermostat and go into the fire wall. On the other side of the firewall is the heater core. the top hose on the radiator goes into the thermostat most of the time
When the water pump goes bad it can leak coolant. Coolant loss can also be caused by bad hoses, a bad radiator, or a hole in a freeze plug.
Engine could overheat, can bust your radiator hoses. If ran for long while overheated you could blow the engine.
there are 2 large black hoses that come off of your radiator. the one located higher on the radiator (upper radiator hose) goes from your radiator to the thermostat housing. the thermostat housing is a metal tube that is bolted to the engine. the thermostat is located inside of the housing and can be accessed by removing the bolts
this is the second motor in this car with the same radiator/hoses and still no heat. can the heater core be a problem or maybe the radiator hoses?the car does not over heat.or can it be the part bolted onto the fire wall where the hose goes into?someone please help me.
You attach a pressure test kit to where the radiator cap goes, and pressurize the system. If it holds pressure, it's good.
