I would be thinking it is a head gasket.
your engine will get hotter after you shut off the engine. the coolant thus getts hotter the fluid then expands causing the drip
Sirius is considerably hotter than Antares.
demi! She's hotter than Selena Gomes, Miley, everyone!!!
JOE IS THE HOTTER ONE OUT OF JOE&KEVIN :)
Who hotter Zendaya. Coleman or Daniella Monet
No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.
One way to easily tell is to check the bottom radiator hose, if the hose is extremely hotter than the top hose, the thermostat is not opening fully or stuck in the closed position.
The coolant could have frozen in the radiator. If that happens the coolant in the engine will just get hotter. It could also be the thermostat.
Yes, that is because the radiator is cooling it, the running temp should be about 195 or so when the thermostat opens to let the hotter coolant in to the radiator to be cooled.
hotter water turn up the heat using the thermostat on it
Engine temperature is controlled by the thermostat. An engine can often run hotter if the thermostat has started to fail or if the radiator is partially blocked. The computer is not involved in temperature control. Have the rad and cooling system flushed and change the thermostat at the same time. Have the heater core pressure tested and flushed out.
It's dependant on what you want. If you live in a hotter climate, select a lower temperature thermostat; that causes the thermostat to open sooner, keeping the engine a little cooler... hopefully. If you live in a climate that is either normally cooler or seasonably cooler, a hotter thermostat can help the heater work better. A hotter thermostat has been demonstrated to be SLIGHTLY (almost insignificantly) at helping the engine run more efficietly.
I assume you are talking about the car`s temperature gauge. The reason you are seeing this is because the ac condenser is in front of the car`s radiator. So when the ac is operating the air entering the radiator is hotter causing the car`s coolant to run hotter. It actually overheats and a/c automatically shuts down. possible causes for the overheating? Can you drive it all day long without the ac? Or does it only overheat with ac on?Check to see that both the ac condenser and the radiator are clean and clear of any foreign matter, maybe you picked up a plastic bag or something like that impeding air flow. Does the fan operate properly? Does the heater blow hot air? If not the thermostat may be the culprit.
The coolant comes from the engine at it's hottest through the top radiator hose, cooling as it goes lower and lower in the radiator until it comes out the bottom radiator hose at it's coolest temperature and back into the engine.
Yes, too much flow through the radiator does not allow the water to cool properly (or enough) so it returns to the motor hotter than it should be, which in turn raises the temperature even more.
The temperature gauge goes down when you drive faster because more air is passing over the engine to cool it. Sounds like you need a new thermostat. This is part of the cooling system, and has nothing to do with air filters or spark plugs. A thermostat is easy to replace. It will be where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine block. Remove the hose clamp, pull the hose off the nipple, and it is sitting right there. The thermostat is supposed to sense when your coolant is getting too hot. Then it should open and allow the coolant to run into the radiator, where it is cooled off. The water pump then pushes the cooled water back into the water jacket surrounding the engine block, where the hot water rises to where the thermostat is, to begin the cycle again. When a thermostat goes bad and does not open, the water stays in the jacket and gets hotter and hotter, and has no chance to cool down in the radiator. Eventually the engine overheats, unless you drive fast enough that the air rushing by keeps the temperature under control. In an emergency when the car is overheating in traffic, turn your heater's temperature to the maximum heat position. Even with the fan off, this will work. It sends the hot coolant through the heater core, which is like a mini radiator and will help cool down the coolant.
Yes, if the original stat was stuck open.
