How do you you add coolant to a 1994 Chevy Lumina?
Generally via. the coolant reservoir holding tank in the engine compartment. Just look for the white plastic tank with the lid showing radiator info.
Why is my 93 Ford Probe overheating?
Things to check: 1. Low Radiator Coolant 2. Bad Radiator Cap (not holding pressure) 3. Leaking Radiator 4. Leaking Coolant Reservoir 5. Loose Belts (for Water Pump) 6. Inoperative Cooling Fan 7. Clogged Radiator (internal) 8. Blocked Radiator (external)
What if you put radiator stop leak in the coolant reservoir?
You should try to avoid using a stop-leak product. All you'll do is gunk up your cooling system reducing cooling capacity and you'll never get that stuff out. If you have a radiator leak, remove it (usually just a matter of an electrical connector for fan(s) a couple of hose clamps and a couple of bolts holding the radiator in a bracket) and take it to a radiator repair shop. A little solder in the right place and you have a like-new radiator with full cooling capacity. If you've already added stop leak to the reservoir, remove the reservoir and rinse the stuff out. Coolant is drawn out of the reservoir when the engine is cooling down. Best case the hose from the reservoir to the radiator will get plugged. Worst case you could get a lump of sealant that might sit for hours congealing (remember the coolant isn't circulating) before the engine is started again. Cheers
Can radiator cap cause overheat?
Yes, if it is not holding pressure or is allowing a coolant leak.
Why would the low coolant light come onon a 2000 Sable?
In the engine compartment, on the left side of the engine is the coolant reservoir. In the coolant reservoir, there is a sensor at the bottom of the reservoir. This sensor is supposed to let you know when you are low on coolant, but can also become defective, and give you a "false-positive" reading. The only way to know this is to check your coolant when the low coolant light comes on. If there is a significant decrease in coolant, you may have a problem in the cooling system , but if you don't, chances are the sensor isn't working. If the sensor is the problem, you can unplug it from the coolant reservoir, by unscrewing the two screws holding the reservoir to the car's inside firewall, then tilting the back of the coolant reservoir forward until you see wiring coming from the bottom of the reservoir, which is the plug for the low coolant sensor. Unplug the sensor, and the low coolant light won't come on anymore. However, you will now have to make sure you check your coolant level in the reservoir on a regular basis.
Subaru Outback Power Steering Pump Replacement?
The following is for the 3.0L H6: Remove the "V" Belt. Drain the Radiator so that the coolant level is below the Upper Radiator Hose. Remove the Clamps, remove the Hose from the Radiator & rotate the Hose counterclockwise out of the way. Empty the Pump Reservoir. Remove the Pump Hose Fittings & disconnect the Electrical Plug. Remove the three 14 mm bolts holding the Pump Bracket & the 12 mm bolt holding the Generator. Remove Assembly & replace Pump. Installation is reverse. Refill the Pump Reservoir & the Radiator with the proper fluids & quantities.....
What is the holding capacity of a 2002 suburban radiator?
Only the radiator, aprox 4 US qts. Total coolant capacity, 13.4 US qts.
What causes transmission fluid in the coolant holding tank of 2000 Chrysler Sebring if the radiator has already been changed?
When you changed the Radiator did you flush the engine to remove the transmission fluid that the already mixed with your water in the engine block. If not that would explain the presence of the fluid in the coolant holding tank.
Where is the blower heater on a 94 s10?
under the hood on the passenger side four screws holding it in. remove coolant reservoir first
What might cause oil leaking from the front of the hood on a Mercedes 500SL convertible?
Are you sure it's oil? Most likely is engine coolant from the radiator. Next would be transmission fluid. Or it could be from the reservoir holding the windshield washer fluid. Oil from the front is unlikely.
Where is the coolant level sensor and how to fix or replace it on a Mercury Sable - Ford Taurus?
Level SensorThe coolant level sensor is known to fail in that the magnet attached to the sensor comes loose and falls to the bottom.These are not repairable, and will require either black tape over the warning light with vigilant monitoring of the levels by you, or replace the tank.See "Related Links" below for moreDisconnect the Sensor approach...The coolant sensor is located in the coolant reservoir bottle. It cannot be serviced, you can only replace the reservoir. However, if just the sensor is bad, you can also try unplugging the sensor at the coolant reservoir bottle. Unscrew the two screws holding the reservoir bottle in place. With the bottle loose, tilt the bottle slightly toward you until you see wiring coming out of the reservoir bottle, that will be the wiring for the sensor plug. Unplug the sensor plug, and reattach the reservoir bottle. The Low Coolant light will not come on anymore, but you will now need to keep tabs on the antifreeze fluid level in the reservoir by occasionally checkingthe fluid level.usually located at rear of the radiator near top--
Where do you put water into a 1989 Honda Civic LX?
If the car belongs to your ex-wife, either remove the oil cap or the gas cap and pour in whatever looks good. I assume you mean coolant. It goes into the radiator, either by removing the radiator cap on top of the radiator, or into the coolant overflow reservoir located to one side of the radiator. It's best to use 50% water and antifreeze instead of water alone. The place to put water under the hood of this vehicle can be in one of two places. 1. the reservoir holding coolant and water for the radiator / cooling system. 2. the radiator itself. The coolant reservoir for this car is located on the lower right-hand side of the car if you are facing the car from the front (as you should be). It will probably be a translucent-white plastic canister. The canister will have a round black or grey cap screwed onto the top. That cap will have a tube running from the cap to the radiator. That tube is what allows the antifreeze coolant and water mixture to flow to and from your radiator, which is vitally important for your vehicle. To add fluid to the reservoir, unscrew the cap from the top of the reservoir, and after doing so lay it to the side, being careful to not allow the interior portion of the cap (a long clear tube) be contaminated with anything. Lay it on a cloth towel for best results. After having done those things, look inside the reservoir in order to determine how much fluid it contains. The reservoir ideally should be filled 3/4 (or 75%) of the way to the top. Do *not* fill it all the way to the top. The fluid you will pour into the reservoir will be a mixture of antifreeze coolant and distilled water. Do *not* use tap water, or any other bottled water - use *distilled* water (can be found at your local grocery). The best mixture of distilled water and antifreeze coolant for most climates will be an even 50/50 mixture (50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water). If you live in an extremely cold climate, or are enduring a particularly cold winter (average temperatures are minus 30 degrees fahrenheit), use a little more coolant than water, around a 60/40 or 70/30 mixture. Most people will not need to worry about that unless they live in northern Canada, Scandinavia, or the Arctic Circle. ;) After pouring the necessary amount of the mixed fluids into the reservoir, screw the cap back on to the top of the reservoir. Make sure it is tight, but do not use a lot of strength: that cap is probably plastic, and you can easily strip the threads of the cap. Now, at this point, if you are just refilling a low reservoir, you are ready to start your car. If, however, you have a good reason to think that your radiator does not have enough fluid in it... then you might want to consider pouring some of your fluid mixture into the radiator. Consult your Honda manual to find out how much you should pour in. Remember: *NEVER* open the radiator cap unless the car has been turned off for *at least* an hour (or more if you have overheated the vehicle). Have fun!
