Why is your engine still fine when you have been refilling your coolant in the reseviour for years?

You should play the lotto because lady luck has been on your side. You need to have a trusted mechanic inspect your cooling system to determine where the coolant has been going.

Replaced fans radiator sensor rfw engine light still on?
If an engine light is still on after replacing a fan's radiator sensor in a RFW engine the coolant sensor should also be checked. If the coolant sensor is bad it will send an error code to the car's computer.
Will the heater core still leak in a 97 c 1500 if the heater or defrost is not used?
Yes it will, engine coolant still flows through it when engine is running.
Can you still run your car if it has coolant in the oil added by accident?
No , if you start the engine than the oil and coolant will mix and it will also be in the oil filter
Why does the water return to the reserve tank while still on?
Hot water (engine coolant) expands and pushes its way back into the coolant reservoir.
2001 vw passat no heat coming out of vents got a coolant flush still no heat help?
I have repaired this hard to diagnose problem by draining and refilling the cooling system with clean water, then refilling again and running the engine with clean water, then back-flushing the heater core until I had good flow again, then draining the water from the cooling system and refilling with new coolant. Heat works again. The alternative is a $300 heater core and 6.6 hours of labor. At a shop this averages about $900 for the job. Other issues that can also affect this problem are: Low coolant? Bad thermostat? I had the same problem, I had hot water flowing through the heater core, blower blowing cold air. I found that the glove compartment was keeping the air controller from moving to open the air controller flap. After I removed the glove compartment it started working, then I put it back together and it still works.
What Is the purpose of a coolant flush with new radiator its?
You still need to flush the engine block and heater core.
What happens when a car runs out of antifreeze?
Assuming you still have some form of coolant (water) in your radiator then the coolant will freeze when the weather is cold enough, coolant expands when it freezes, this may cause permanent damage to your engine, such as split pipe's, burst radiator, cracked engine block
What causes a p0118 engine coolant temp circuit high input error and how do you fix it?
Most likely culprit is the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. It can give this code and still not read high on the temp guage.
What if your printer still says to replace toner cartridge after refilling it?
Throw it out
Low engine coolant?
My low coolant light remains on eventhough I have filled the ressovor. what can I do?Found after removing and replacing the sensor and bottle still had error, finally drained radiator and added correct coolant mixture in radiator, indicator went away. Appear I had a weak mixture of coolant and water in radiator, which kept giving me the "ENGINE COOLANT LOW' I guess it really was low in coolantRead more: Why_does_your_jaguar_XJ8_say_engine_coolant_low_when_it_is_full
Why do cars use collant instead of water?
Coolant, also known as antifreeze, serves two purposes in a cars engine. (1) Coolant keeps the engine cool. During the summer especially, your engine can get very hot. We all know that when water gets hot enough, it boils. Have you ever seen a car on the side of the road, with a bunch of steam blowing out of the hood? That is a car with an over heated engine. Coolant can still boil like water, however coolant has a higher boiling point than water. (2) Coolant also keeps the engine from freezing. This is very important. If your cars engine has water in it, instead of coolant, and the outside temperature drops below freezing, your engine may become susceptible to becoming frozen. If your engine freezes from sitting in the cold without coolant, the water inside of the engine will expand. When ice expands it has to go somewhere. You engine will crack and will not be repairable. Coolant can still freeze, but unless your using the lowest grade coolant, and your driving through Alaska, your coolant probably won't freeze. How does coolant both keep the engine cool when running, but keep it from freezing too? Its simple; Coolant has a higher boiling point than water (99.7'), and it has a lower boiling point than water (32'). The temperature highs and lows vary with the type of coolant you use. !CAUTION! When your coolant level goes down, due to evaporation or leaks, you may out water in your radiator for a temporary fix. HOWEVER this alters the highest and lowest points of your coolants temperature peak. MORE WATER = WATERY COOLANT
What could cause the AC to quit putting out cold air and the temperature gauge to rise?
Hey Ken==Check the coolant in the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. Sometimes the coolant recovery bottle wilpopiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool still have coolant but the rad low. GoodluckJoe
