The coolant expands and rises when it is hot so it goes up, the coolant comes down when the car is cold.
Hard driving can cause an engine to use oil, but not drastically. Coolant level should not be effected unless the engine overheats.
Yes. There should always be some coolant in the overflow tank. Its level should rise when the engine warms up, and it should go back down when the engine cools.
The coolant level switch on a 95 Achieva has a sticking problem. If you tap the coolant tank near the sensor the light will go out
I believe that indicates your engine coolant level is low or you have lost your coolant
The low coolant sensor is bad or disconnected.
takes the heat away from engine low coolant??
Could be, sticky thermostat or low coolant level.
Most vehicles have a coolant reservoir (a clear plastic tub) with a phrase "engine coolant only" printed on the cap. This is where you should add engine coolant.
My heater doesn't go cold. But to answer your question, check the engine coolant level in the radiator. Be sure that the engine is cold before removing the radiator cap. --Ken
If you wish to fill it. Check the level COLD. Its printed on the overflow bottle towards the engine. You gotta look over it and upside down. Fill that bottle to that line. DO NOT USE DEXCOOL.
The thermostat is typically mounted on the engine block or in the coolant passage, and it controls the flow of coolant to and from the engine. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed to allow the engine to heat up quickly. Once the engine reaches the desired operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow into the engine and maintain optimal temperature. Therefore, the thermostat itself does not move up or down but operates based on temperature changes.
if the car is not overheating it can be the coolant senser.More info is needed to give you a more accurate answer, are you loseing coolant?does your engine backfire ?have you checked your thermostat?
