just a suggestion and you probably already looked but newer cars sometimes have a sensor in or on the overflow tank Did you check to see if level is between min and max
You can get about ten to fifteen years on your radiator before you would have to change it. You are going to need to flush your coolant about every 60,000 miles to ensure that your radiator stays good and does not get clogged.
You may have a cracked head or bad head gasket. The car will start to overheat from lack of coolant if you don't check the radiator coolant and refill it, if it's low. You need to get the car repaired or replaced before it breaks down and leaves you stranded .
i would have replaced water pump long before replacing radiator. also check engine oil to see if it has engine coolant mixed in.if it has then the problem is more likely to be a bad head gasket
The radiator on a 1995 Saturn is flushed by draining the coolant, refilling the engine with water, and adding a flush. It is allowed to circulate and drain before refilling with coolant.
To drain a radiator without a drain plug, you can disconnect the lower radiator hose to allow the coolant to flow out. Make sure to catch the coolant in a container for proper disposal. Be cautious of hot coolant and allow the radiator to cool down before attempting this.
To fill the radiator with coolant on a Mazda MX-3, open the hood and locate the radiator cap, which is typically at the front of the engine bay. Ensure the engine is cool before removing the cap to avoid burns. Pour the coolant into the radiator until it reaches the appropriate level, which is usually marked inside the neck of the radiator. Additionally, check the coolant reservoir and fill it as needed.
Most, if not all, the coolant in the radiator reservoir will pour out when you pull the water pump. Drain the radiator and save the coolant (if you plan to re-use it) before removing the water pump.
Coolant is typically found in the radiator or coolant reservoir under the hood of a vehicle. The radiator is usually located at the front of the engine compartment, while the coolant reservoir is often a translucent plastic tank situated nearby. In some vehicles, the coolant can also circulate through hoses connected to the engine and radiator. Always ensure the engine is cool before checking or adding coolant to avoid burns.
Usually on the coolant outlet just before the upper radiator hose.
To drain the radiator on a 2007 Buick LaCrosse, first ensure the engine is cool and then locate the radiator drain valve, usually at the bottom of the radiator. Place a drain pan underneath the radiator and open the valve to allow the coolant to flow out. After draining, close the valve and refill the radiator with the appropriate coolant mixture. Always dispose of the old coolant properly and check for leaks before starting the engine.
Adding coolant to a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am is very easy to do. The coolant can be directly added to the radiator. Make sure the engine is not hot before adding the coolant.
