What else can I help you with?
What damages if the car overheats?
It can cause the head gaskets to blow. This must be repaired before driving again. If really overheated, you can blow your engine. This would need replacing.
What would cause antifreeze in the oil on a 194 Isuzu trooper?
Bad gaskets- including a head gasket- would be a likely suspect.
What can cause white smoke from radiator of 2000 subaru outback after antifreeze put in?
Subaru 2.5 liter engine has a problem with head gaskets. If you have not had your head gaskets replaced, that is the first thing I would suspect.
Will it hurt the engine if you mix colors of antifreeze?
in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
What would cause antifreeze to be where your spark plugs are in a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis?
Intake manifold gaskets are leaking, intake manifold is warped.
What will cause antifreeze to mix with oil in a 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.4?
You need to replace your intake manifold gasket. Chevy had a bad problem with these gaskets.
What is the cause of an antifreeze leak in a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu where there is no visible leak?
been there done that, i had an 01 , 3.1 same situation, its the upper and lower intake gaskets, its a common problem with these gm models, its blamed on the dexcool antifreeze, u cant mix it with other antifreeze, there is a class action suiet going on now about the dexcool.. i replaced the gaskets but it had already been too hot...had to replace engine.....and used only dexcool, running excellent..
Could replacing the intake manifold and gaskets cause a fuel injector to leak?
It would be very unlikely. Fuel injectors give very little problems.
What happens if engine got hot?
Driving a car with an overheated engine, will cause a build up of pressure that can blow gaskets and cause other internal damage. It's an expensive repair, or may require replacing the engine. Some engines can handle heat better, frequent motor oil changes are recommended for better performance...
How you can fix an oil that is getting mixed with antifreeze at a ford econoline 250 year 98?
You can fix oil that is getting mixed with antifreeze in a Ford Econoline 250 of the year '98 by replacing the head gasket in the vehicle. A blown head gasket will cause the antifreeze and oil to mix.
What is the expected life span of a Peugeot 307 head gasket?
Most head gaskets do in fact last the life of the car. The major cause of a head gasket failiure is lack of antifreeze in the system. antifreeze contains corrosion inhibitors which prevent the head gasket rotting and then blowing.
What would cause a quick gush of white smoke to come out of the exhaust on a 1999 Dodge Caravan only upon starting?
White smoke is caused by water and or antifreeze entering the cylinder, and the engine trying to burn it with the fuel. The white smoke is steam. There are special gaskets (head gaskets are the primary gaskets) that keep the antifreeze from entering the cylinder area. The cylinder is where the fuel and air mixture are being compressed and burned. Any amount of antifreeze that enters this area will produce a white steam that will be present at the tailpipe area. If white smoke is present, check to see if the proper amount of antifreeze is inside the radiator and the overflow bottle. Also check to see if antifreeze has contaminated the engine oil. You can look at the engine oil dipstick, or look at the under side of the engine oil filler cap. If the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, it will have the appearance of a chocolate milkshake. Do not start the engine if the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, as serious internal engine damage can result. How did antifreeze get in the oil or cylinder in the first place? The engine probably overheated and a head gasket failed due to excessive heat, thus allowing antifreeze to enter the cylinder (Where it is not meant to be).
