They come from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the engine cooling system
Motor cooling system? The engine cooling system consits of the water pump, radiator, hoses, cooling fans, etc.Motor cooling system? The engine cooling system consits of the water pump, radiator, hoses, cooling fans, etc.
Engine temperature rising when the engine is idling is normal. The car is sitting still and no air is entering the engine compartment. This will cause the engine temperature to rise. The cooling fans then come on and the engine returns to a normal temperature. Unless the cooling fans do not bring the temperature down, you have no problems and this is totally normal.
check your cooling lines for leaks if all good drive shaft seal
The water pump is bolted to the front of the engine behind the engine cooling fan
theres a very good chance that the engine has a blown head gasket. what is happening is the water cooling the engine is escaping past the head gasket & into the engine, mixing with the oil making it milky coloured. the water is also escaping into the cylinders, making the steam come from your exhaust, you may also have trouble when turning the engine over, with water building up in the cylinders when cooling down.
At the front of the engine , between the engine and the engine cooling fan
It could cause the check engine light to come on with a code concerning cooling system/thermostat performance.It could cause the check engine light to come on with a code concerning cooling system/thermostat performance.
That would be the cooling system for the engine.
4.3L engine, behind the cooling fan. 2.2L engine, below and to the drivers side of the cooling fan.
The water pump humps cool water from the radiator through the engine. Hot water. Leaves the engine and enters the top of the radiator. The hot water works its way through the radiator cooling itself.
The cooling system in your car (radiator) cycles fluid (water with anifreeze/coolant) through your engine to keep it from overheating. It carries heat away from the engine.
