What else can I help you with?
Does water in the reservoir circulate through radiator when engine runs?
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
Do you check the radiator liquid when the cars on?
NO! That would be dangerous. Cars' coolant systems are pressurized, so if you open the radiator cap while the engine is running, it will spray HOT radiator fluid (water mixed with ethylene glycol, usually) all over you, and sometimes drain the radiator of coolant.
What does reduced engine power mean?
It means that the engine is running HOT for some reason. Check cooling system real close. Thermostat, Fan clutch, radiator, Coolant leak, Fluid level
Does running your heater in your car use more gas?
No as the heater is run utilizing the fluid from your radiator and an electric fan. Using the air conditioning does as the pump is run from a belt on your engine.

How fluid radiator hold for Taurus?
The fluid radiator in a Ford Taurus effectively manages engine temperature by circulating coolant through the engine and radiator. As hot coolant flows into the radiator, it is cooled by air passing through the radiator fins. This process helps prevent overheating and maintains optimal engine performance. Regular maintenance, such as checking coolant levels and inspecting for leaks, is essential for the radiator to function efficiently.
What happens is your radiator fluid is empty?
if you run your engine without antifreeze your car will overheat and ruin the engine.
Why is fluid leaking out on a corsa when engine is running but stops when engine is turned off?

What do you do if your car is leaking purple fluid?
It is probably Radiator fluid that's leaking. if you have red radiator fluid. it looks purple when it heats up. I had this from my Toyota Sequoia when the leak went over the hot engine.
Is transmission fluid the same as coolant?
No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
What does it mean when the left side of your radiator was smoking and it damaged the radiator cap when you took it off there was a lot of coolant in the radiator?
Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.
