No. The reservoir holds the coolant that flows back into when the engine coolant expands and will flow from the reservoir to the engine when the water cools. but there is no actual through current of liquid.

Yes indeed it does on a lot of European vehicles.

This occurs mainly in automatic coolant bleed vehicles.

Is it normal for coolant water to go into the reservoir?

Yes- coolant reservoir is designed to accept excess coolant - As coolant heats up it will expand and flow to the coolant recovery tank (reservoir) and as it cools (contracts) it will be sucked back into the radiator


What is a expansion tank on a car?

As the engine coolant heats up, the coolant expands, so the coolant needs a reservoir or expansion tank to flow in and out of as needed.


How can i unclog my reservoir on 1997 cavalier its not giving coolant flow?

Flush the coolant, change the coolant resevoir and add new coolant, it doesn't hurt to change the hoses either


What do it mean when the radiator boil in to your over flow?

It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.


Where do hoses from coolant resvoir cap go?

Hoses from the coolant reservoir cap typically connect to the radiator and the engine cooling system. They allow coolant to flow between the reservoir and the radiator, helping to maintain proper coolant levels and pressure in the system. This ensures efficient heat transfer and prevents the engine from overheating. Some systems may also have hoses that direct excess coolant back to the reservoir when the engine is hot.

Reservoir light? You mean low coolant light. Low coolant level means the reservoir is low of coolant.


Where is coolant filled at on 2003 Vulcan vn2000?

On a 2003 Vulcan VN2000, the coolant is filled at the radiator reservoir. You can find the reservoir on the right side of the bike, near the front. It typically has a cap marked for coolant, and you can check the coolant level through the transparent side of the reservoir. Always ensure the engine is cool before opening the cap to avoid any injuries.
