If your cooling system is blocked with rad weld, it indicates that a sealant has been used to repair leaks, but it has caused clogs in the system. To resolve this issue, you may need to flush the cooling system thoroughly to remove the rad weld particles. Consider using a professional service for a complete cleaning and inspect for any existing leaks that might need a different repair approach. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent future blockages.

could be you rad is half blocked. try flushing the system with rad flush. you get this from and good car parts retailer such as halfords. hope this has helped


Why does your 2000 sentra keep overheating although the entire cooling system hss been checked and no problems were found?

Find a garage that has a gas analyzer or an emission testing machine. Take the rad cap off (when cold so you don't get burned) and run the car up to temperature so the thermostat opens and hold the probe over top of the coolant in the rad (NOT IN THE COOLANT!) and see if there are any hydrocarbons in the rad. I suspect that the head gasket may be your problem if the cooling system has been checked and is o/k. There should be no hydrocarbons in the cooling system, the only place they can come from wiuld be the combustion chamber through the head gasket.

What is the difference between internal and external transmission oil coolers?

An internal cooler is a small internal radiator inside the lower end of a regular radiator. It has two lines running to it from the transmission. This internal radiator gets cooling from the "coolant" that flows through the radiator regularly during running of the vehicle. The reason it is at the bottom of the rad (usually a veritcal flow type) is that the hot coolant comes into the rad at the top and then is cooled as it falls to the bottom. The smaller internal rad is also cooled by this "cooler" coolant (antifreeze and water mixture) and thusly cools the hot transmission fluid. This internal rad is separate from the regular cooling system and is a "closed System" within a system. An EXTERNAL transmission cooler is a small rad that is used exclusively for cooling of the automatic transmission fluid. It is completely separate from the rad but many times is mounted in front of the radiator. External coolers have much more volumetric efficiency and can handle larger quantities of fluid. They are installed on anything that may have a trailer towing package. Automatic transmissions get very hot while towing and need the extra cooling if they are pulling a load.

How do you replace radiator in 1996 Cadillac eldorado?

Drain antifreeze, remove upper and lower rad hoses remove both cooling fans, and both bolts that hold condesnor to rad and pull rad upward out


Why does your heater blow warm air then cold air?

You may have air trapped in the cooling system. Remove rad cap, start engine and let it run for 30 minutes with the cap off while you add coolant as needed. That should do it unless you have a cooling system leak.

Air pockets in cooling system!


How do you replace a radiator on a 2000 Chevy S-10 2.2 liter?

Remove rad shroud, remove fan clutch, remove trans cooler lines, ( use a flare nut wrench to avoid stripping the hex) remove the rad brackets then top and lower hose ends. Reverse.Make sure to fill and bleed the cooling system when done. Run vehicle at idle for 30 minutes with the rad cap off to bleed air out of system.
