Why is the top hose from radiator to engine not letting water through what could be the problem?

Sounds Like A Bad Thermostat. Or The Hose Is In To Much Of A Curved Situtation. Suggest Make Sure Coolant Is Full, And Hose Is Not Collasped. Then Remove & Replace Thermostat. Still Have Problem, May Be Water Pump. Good Lucl

How long can you drive with oil leading into the radiator?
Oil in the radiator indicates a possible severe problem, where coolant could also leak into the oil. Driving an engine in this situation at all could lead to severe engine damage.
What does the cooling system do within an engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.
What could be the problem if there is no pressure in either of the hoses going to or from the radiator?
If the engine is cool, then this isn't a problem (pressure in the cooling system isn't developed by the running engine, it is developed by the heat from the running engine). However, if the hoses don't feel like they're under pressure at normal or higher operating temperature, it does indicate a possible problem. The possible problems could be anything from a blown head or intake gasket to a low or empty radiator. Regardless, if this is the case, the problem needs to be diagnosed and repaired before the engine becomes damaged.
Where is starter on a 1997 Chrysler Concorde?
It is behind the radiator side engine mount.
What does radiator do?
During radiation, energy is emitted from a source and propagated through the surrounding medium, or the energy involved in this process.
How does the radiator help the car run faster?
It doesn't, it helps cool the engine by running coolant through it and letting it air cool. The better the radiator = the better the cooling, thus making the engine more efficient.
Water is not getting to your car's engine It goes through the radiator but not to the engine What could the problem be?
The thermostat would be the first thing I would check.
What is proper fan sucking air through radiator to engine or blowing from engine to the radiator?
Actually, both are used. However, it is more common to pull air through the radiator towards the engine. This draws cooler outside air through the radiator. Pushing air from the engine towards the radiator means that you are pulling hot air from around the engine towards the radiator.
There is engine noise coming through the speakers?
It's probably an electrical problem. It could be the radiator or the alternator. Check the filter caps.
Golf 4 gti overheats but radiator stays coolwhat could be the problem?
Your thermostat is stuck closed. you will need to replace it. The thermostat controls the circulation through the radiator - when the engine heats up the thermostat is meant to switch circulation from just-engine to engine+radiator. Sounds like this isn't happening.
What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
Engine hot cooling not hot?
Engine is Hot, Coolant is not HOThere engine is hot means above the engine operating temperature, Coolant is not hot means coolant in the radiator is not hot and the coolant is below or withing the operating temperature.i think there is no water blow out from the radiator cap if you have this problem then the following will not apply to your case.* water is not circulating through the radiator, either half of the pumped water is circulating through the radiator or another half circulates through the engine block because of thermostat. so please check the engine thermostat for proper function.
How do you flush the radiator on a '99 Chevy Silverado?
Drain the radiator by removing the plug on the bottom of the radiator or by removing the lower rad hose. Take the thermostat out which is at the engine end of the upper hose. Start the engine and run water from the garden hose through the radiator letting it flow out the upper rad hose until it is clean. If it has buildup in the radiator you will want ot run some commercial radiator cleaner through it. When it is clean, drain all of the water out and install 2 gallons of coolant and the thermostat.. Dispose of used coolant properly.
Engine oil entered in radiator and air bubbles comes out through radiator when engine is running?
You most likely have a blown headgasket.
If antifreeze is shooting through the radiator cap and the system is overheating is that a head gasket problem in a Saturn sc1 2000?
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.
What is the purpose of the radiator?
A car's radiator is used to help keep the engine cool. During operation, an engine's moving parts create friction, which produces heat. Coolant flows through the engine picking up that head and travels back to the radiator where it is cooled down by air flowing through the radiator coils. The cool coolant then travels back through the engine completing the cycle over and over.
What causes engine overheating?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I can think of several things : In no particular order : - low engine coolant level , or no engine coolant because of a leak - engine thermostat sticking closed - restricted ( dirty ) radiator - water pump not circulating the engine coolant because of an impeller or belt problem - a problem with the engine cooling fan not running so air flows through the radiator any body else have any ideas ?
