It all depends on what kind of car you have. Most of them you have to press down very hard to be able to turn counterclockwise and remove.
Joe, I have a 1996 Chevy Blazer. Would you know how to do it on it?
The radiator does not have a cap, instead, the coolant system reservoir is also pressurized and the pressure cap is on the reservoir.
No that's a clogged radiator issue. However if the engine over heats to much, the head will warp and you'll need a new one. Replace your radiator, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor, and thermostat.
The 2000 Saturn does not have a distributor. Instead it uses a "coil pack" system.
You don't fix it you replace it. Drain the radiator, replace the hose, and the thermostat, flush the system, install a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, bleed the system.
The radiator cap on a 2003 Saturn Vue is located on the engine's cooling system, typically at the front of the vehicle near the radiator. It is usually found on the top of the radiator or on the coolant reservoir, which is a white plastic tank connected to the radiator. Ensure the engine is cool before attempting to remove the cap to avoid injury from hot coolant.
no, it's on the reservoir. Yes, the radiator "system" has a pressure-release cap located on the plastic coolant fill bottle. This bottle is an active part of the cooling system, and is where you add coolant to the system
The radiator drain plug on a Chrysler Sebring is located on the bottom, left side of the radiator. It allows for coolant to be quickly drain from the system.

1) remove radiator cap2) Fill radiator with coolant.3) replace radiator cap4) remove reservior cap5) fill to "fill cold" line6) replace reservior capIf your system not very low or empty you can omit 1-3.
To replace a radiator valve in your home heating system, first turn off the heating system and drain the radiator. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the old valve, then clean the threads on the pipe. Apply thread sealant to the new valve and screw it onto the pipe, tightening it securely. Refill the radiator with water, bleed any air from the system, and turn the heating system back on to test the new valve.
The heater core has no overflow hose. Cooling system is a closed loop system and the only overflow hose is the one going from the radiator cap to the reservoir. A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat. Drain and flush the radiator, replace the thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water, bleed air from the system. You may also need to replace the radiator cap. Be sure and replace these parts with OEM parts.The heater core has no overflow hose.

The hose is soft and mushy inside. Replace the hose. Possible clogged radiator. Replace the hose first. You also might have a clogged radiator core. Have a reputable radiator shop check and flush your cooling system.
