What is the problem with not using antifreeze on your car?

If it gets cold enough the coolant will freeze and crack the block if there is no antifreeze.


Your 1996 Nissan maxima is overheating occasionally what should you do?

Overheating is due to, well, the coolant in the cooling system getting too hot. In a normally operating engine, this should never be a problem. First, check that the coolant level is correct. If it is correct, I would suspect a problem with the thermostat. When the engine is cold, the thermostat closes off coolant flow through the engine until the coolant reaches a pre-determined temperature. When that temperature is reached, the thermostat opens to allow the coolant to circulate at that exact temperature. Thermostats are known for failing and either not opening or not opening enough at that pre-determined temperature. This causes coolant to get trapped too long in the engine coolant chambers, heating it beyond limits, causing the engine temperature to increase and possibly overheat. If my Maxima was overheating, I would check the coolant levels and then possibly replace the thermostat. It usually is no more complicated than that.


If engine gauge does not show overheating but coolant spews from overflow tank what is the problem in a 2001 Mazda MPV?

Thermostat may not be opening


Can having too much antifreeze in your car cause it to overheat?

No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.

Why does the low coolant light come on your 2001 Chevrolet impala?

Well, the common cause for the light coming on is the radiator is low of coolant. But I assume you have checked the coolant level and it is ok. That being the case more than likely the coolant level sensor is defective and needs replacing. Can also be the problem is in the wiring.


Why is the coolant light on when the radiator is full on a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu?

Build up in the radiator system or a plug can cause this. Do a radiator flush (or have a professional do it if you're not interested but it's fairly easy if you read an online HOWTO) to remove the grime and refill with fresh coolant. This solved the problem in my 2003. Check the low coolant level sensor and replace if defective. It is in the side of the radiator.


What does it mean when the low coolant light comes on in my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban?

I am not a car guy, but my low coolant light just came on in my Saturn Vue. I checked the owners manual and it said I should add anti-freeze/coolant. If you go to a car parts store (NAPA, Auto Zone, Pep Boys), they can tell you what type of coolant to add. If the problem repeats, you probabaly have a leak in your cooling system. Good Luck!

You should not need to bleed coolant. Ever. If the coolant is filling up on its own the stuff in there is not coolant and you have a big problem.
