First I would check the fan clutch.Start the vehicle and let it warm up.Then watch the fan as someone else turns it off.If the fan keeps turning,then the clutch on it is bad.Also,make sure the fan shroud is still there and not broken.
Sometimes air bubbles get in the radiator after lines or the radiator have been removed. Just run it with the radiator cap open, until the fluid starts circulating ( the temp gauge will drop to normal). You can also see the coolant fluid start moving inside the radiator which by the way is a little hard to see since it will be bubbling from running about ten minutes. Watch your temp gauge make sure you don't let it overheat for a very long time. Did you put it in backward? There really is a right and wrong way on those things. no, it wasnt put on backward.... ============================================================================= no, it wasnt put on backward....
Buy a radiator flush kit and radiator flush additive from your local auto parts store. Follow the package instructions. You can also buy a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual. For the 1984-2001 XJ Cherokee it is highly recommend that you not use the radiator drain valve as it is plastic and rather fragile. Removing the lower radiator hose is faster and easier for draining the cooling system.
no
Allow the car to cool. Remove radiator cap. Add water or coolant to fill radiator. Start engine leaving cap off. check to see if coolant is circulating in radiator. Locate upper rad hose, and squeeze to move air bubbles out, or to ecourage circulation. If large air bubble works its way out, add coolant to fill. Once coolant starts to expand and spill out, replace cap. Watch temperature gauge to esure the problem has been rectified. You may have to repeat this procedure.
Yes, Michael Jackson did. Michael loved Bubbles very much.
hi i have a ford focus 1.6 2000 and it keeps overheating I've removed the thermostat but the problem continues the expansion bottle bubbles and the top radiator hose were the thermostat is attached gets really hot but the bottom hose were the water pump is connected to is cold' i don't know if the water pump is working or not as there is no rattles or noises coming from it can anybody help please thanx
Yes, but you wouldn't want to do that, 90 is renix, and it has the older style radiator with the reservoir to fill it, where as your 98 has a filler cap, which eliminates air bubbles that occur from the reservoir.
Air bubbles in the radiator can be caused by a variety of issues such as a leaking radiator cap, a coolant leak, or a faulty water pump leading to air pockets in the cooling system. It's important to fix these issues promptly to prevent overheating and potential damage to the engine.
If your PT Cruiser is still overheating despite replacing components in the cooling system, check for possible issues like a blown head gasket, which can cause bubbles in the radiator. Additionally, ensure that the thermostat is functioning properly and that there are no air pockets trapped in the system. A faulty water pump or radiator obstruction might also be the culprit. It could be beneficial to perform a pressure test to identify any leaks or weaknesses in the cooling system.
Check for bubbles in the radiator engine warm with the cap off,if you see a continuios build up of air or violant purging you probably have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Talk to me.
The thermostat needs replacing any time you service the cooling system. You should also replace it if the engine is overheating, and you suspect it is defective. A blown head gasket will exhibit, certain symptoms. Coolant in the oil, white smoke from the tailpipe, overheating, air bubbles coming from the radiator, missing on one or more cylinders, a brown looking foam on the underside of the oil cap. A compression test will help to verify this.
look for bleed plug on thermostat housing or run car with radiator cap off in park with hosepipe in radiator till bubbles are gone.
You need to take it to a qualified mechanic for repair or you could runin the engine - have you looked to see if there is a leak in the cooling system?
Bubbles in the radiator sight glass usually indicate air trapped in the coolant system. When air enters the system, it can prevent proper circulation of coolant, leading to inefficient cooling of the engine. This can result in overheating and potential damage to the engine components. Purging the air from the system and ensuring proper coolant levels can help resolve this issue.
All I do is remove the radiator cap (wait until car is cold and open cap slowly) and start the car. let it warm up. the thermostat will open and begin fully circulting the coolant. if there is any air bubbles in the system they should work theirselves out. another thing to do after the thermostat opens is slowly squeeze on the lower radiator hose, careful not to spew coolant out of the radiator.
The thermostat in a stealth is under the radiator cap,let your car cool down then remove thermostat housing,pull old thermostat make sure the new one is the same as the old one(this is important,auto parts stores screw up alot)remove old thermostat,make sure you also have the gasket for it,replace with new part,put in new gasket and reattach thermostat housing.fill radiator and overflow,run car with radiator cap off to burp air from your cooling system.Run car until bubbles stop or until fan comes on.Top of radiator repalce cap.Your done.The same steps apply for burping vehicle if you are doing a coolant service.
Make sure engine is cold then do the following: - Open radiator cap - Start engine - Once the thermostat opens , air bubbles should come out of the radiator neck - Wait until air bubbles stops coming out of the neck - Once the Air bubbles stops from coming out , fill radiator as neccessary - Replace cap and test drive - Repeat as neccessary - Process can take long more than 10 minutes or more depending on how much air is trapped in the system.
