Because there is antifreeze int he system and it takes a while to burn through.
Also replace the bottom hose too. <> If it smokes from under the hood, It has antifreeze on the engine exterior, You can wash it off. Or just drive it and it will burn off. If it smokes from the exhaust, There is engine damage.
You don't put water in your radiator, you put antifreeze.
To add antifreeze to a 1990 Nissan 300ZX, locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically a translucent plastic tank near the radiator. Open the cap and pour in the antifreeze mixture, ensuring it's the correct 50/50 blend of coolant and water. It's also advisable to check the radiator directly by removing the radiator cap (when the engine is cool) to ensure it's filled to the appropriate level. Always remember to replace the caps securely after filling.
It is in the front behind the grill. It cannot be filled directly. Add coolant/ antifreeze to the "jug" on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
When a radiator has a crack, it can lead to coolant leakage. This can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential damage if not addressed promptly. It is important to repair or replace the radiator to prevent further issues with the vehicle's cooling system.
On a 2000 Ford Ranger : With the engine cold the radiator should be filled to the seat for the radiator cap and the engine coolant reservoir should be filled to the cold mark
replace your radiator cap it may be letting hot coolant travel back to the overflow can.
To refill the radiator on a Chevrolet Aveo, first ensure the engine is cool. Open the hood and locate the radiator cap; slowly remove it to release any pressure. Using a funnel, pour a suitable coolant mixture (usually a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water) into the radiator until it's filled to the appropriate level. Finally, replace the radiator cap securely and check the overflow reservoir to ensure it has the correct coolant level as well.
Because it leaked out, or was absorbed as the new radiator filled its voids. Just top it off, and observe during and after an engine thermal cycle, and top off as necessary until proper range is reached. Notice that the reservoir has "hot" and "cold" levels.
If you can see the antifreeze on the engine, you have a leak. You need to have the system pressure tested to locate the source.
i flush the radiator filled it with antifreeze water .. now i heard i should take out air from inside of radiator or hoses so the air will not block circulation of the water? thank you.
it is filled in the overflow tank. the cougar has a sealed system and there is no radiator cap like typical cares
The radiator of the car must be filled with water upto the brim, so that the engine will remain cool.
