Why does radiator light go on when car is cold but only stays on for 2 minutes?

the light is triggered by a switch inside the overflow bottle, If the coolant level is low when the engine is cold, it will trigger the switch to turn on the light until the cooant warms up and expands. The hot water expands and flows through the radiator cap and into the overflow bottle and shuts the light off. Then once the engine is shut off and cools down, the coolant will flow back into the engine again and empty the overflow bottle. so if the light is on, you need to fill the overflow bottle to the "cold" mark.

Why would you have to keep adding water to your grand am radiator does not leak?

The radiator is not meant to stay full all the time. When over full the excess will flow to the overflow bottle. If that is not your problem, it is possible you have a head gasket leak and you are burning it or it is going to the crank case and you will have milky oil. All of these are conditions which will require service by a mechanic.

Fitting thermostat on 1997 Subaru legacy?

If your 1997 Subaru Legacy is the same as My RS-B Twin Turbo?, the Radiator and Overflow bottle have to come out and the Thermostat is at the front of the Engine, down the bottom-just to the right of centre, (Thermostat is inside the bottom radiator hose), - My Thermostat just twisted/pulled out, let all old coolant flush out-put New Thermostat in its place, Radiator and Overflow bottle were put back in and radiator topped up with fresh coolant and water, Overflow was filled to second line as it should be, car was started with heater on full for 5 minutes to disperse any air in water - (note) after adding fresh coolant, add water in Radiator till it can't take anymore-to show its filled properly.


What type of water do you add to your radiator?

If you are speaking of a radiator in an automobile, there is a plastic bottle on the side of the radiator, and it is marked for the fluid level; "ADD" or "FULL". The cap on the bottle will say "COOLANT ONLY" or words to that effect. Do not overfill. Older model vehicles you will add water to the radiator itself. Remove the radiator cap, slowly, and pour in the water. NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING! Wait until it cools down.
