After replacing radiator hose do you put coolant in the radiator and the overflow bottle or just the bottle?
With the engine cold, put it in the radiator just to be sure there is no air gap. Run it for a short time until it gets warm and coolant begins to circulate. Then install the radiator cap and put coolant in the overflow to the coolant level line.
How can you tell when the thermostat has opened?
The upper radiator hose gets hot do to the fact the coolant has started to circulate.
What direction does a car radiator circulate?
In general the hot coolant enters the top opening and out the lower to the water pump.
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.
What is the water pump used for in a car?
To circulate coolant through the engine block, radiator and passenger compartment heater core.
