What else can I help you with?
Coolant flows from the engine block into the through the coolant jacket?
Kind of. There are water jackets inside the engine block and usually the heads of a liquid-cooled engine Water (or coolant) will either flow from the block to the head to the radiator, or from the radiator through the head to the block (a reverse flow design). The latter is better because it cools the heads first and helps prevent detonation. It also reduces thermal shock to the engine block.
When my engine cools I am losing water coolant apparently not from a hose or direct from leaky radiator what can be the cause?
This sounds like bad news. The coolant could be leaking into your engine and mixing with the engine oil, then cooking off. A simple test can tell if there's water in your oil.
Does coolant flow through reservoir?
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.
Does water in the reservoir circulate through radiator when engine runs?
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
How does a car radiator system work?
A car radiator system works by circulating coolant through the engine to absorb heat. The heated coolant then flows through the radiator, where it is cooled by airflow from the outside. As the coolant cools, it returns to the engine to continue the cooling cycle.
What is the better coolant for a car engine antifreeze or water?
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
DOES the ltz take water or coolant?
you should use coolant, therefore your bike will run cooler, the lower the engine temperature the better
Is Coolant the same thing as Anti-freeze?
coolant/anti-freezeYES, BUT ALL ANTI-FREEZE IS NOT THE SAME YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR OWNERS MANUAL TO SEE WHICH TYPE YOU NEED. The words are sometimes used interchangeably. However, if you live in an equatorial country, your coolant is more likely to be water. I.E., Engine coolant is any liquid that cools the engine by dissipating the coolant temperature through the engine's radiator.
The water light and check engine light came on in your mercury marquis 1998 and the water gauge went up when you turned on the air conditioner it went down but your check engine light is still on?
it sounds like your primary coolant fan has quit and when you turn your A/C on it causes your secondary coolant fan to turn on and then cools the coolant in your radiator!
Which is better coolant water or methanol?
Water.
What is the operating temperature for a 2001 YZF-R1?
I have the same bike, I've seen my temps climb as high as 230 on a 90-100* day in stop and go traffic. I changed the coolant and did a 65%_35% water to coolant ratio and have seen a 10 degree drop in temps. On highway on a nice stretch temps average about 170-190*. Good luck-try that mix should help some. Water cools better than coolant. Coolant is really designed to prevent freezing and rust in radiators not soo much to cool the engine better
Water pump Dodge Durango?
It cools the engine!
