Radiators

Off top means that if there is money to be earned, the person who gets 'off top' is the person that gets paid first. It also means that if there is no money left after the 'off top' person gets paid, there will be no other funds paid out.

The liquid in the radiator reservoir of a Volkswagen Jetta 1999 should ideally be a mixture of water and antifreeze (coolant). This mixture helps regulate the engine temperature and prevent freezing or overheating. It is important to check and maintain the proper coolant levels to ensure the engine runs smoothly.

It could be transmission fluid. Many transmissions are cooled by running a line through the radiator. Check for small tubes going into the radiator, if you only have the two large engine coolant lines, you don't have a transmission cooling line in the radiator.

On my 91 it is metal (copper, or an alloy I believe?), although I have never heard of a plastic radiator.

The radiator drain plug on a 1992 Mercury Topaz is typically located at the bottom of the radiator. It may be a plastic petcock valve that you can twist open to drain the coolant from the radiator. Be sure to place a drain pan underneath to catch the coolant.

The orange light with a rectangle filled with vertical lines on older Toyotas typically represents an issue with the transmission fluid temperature. It's a warning to check the transmission fluid level and ensure it is not overheating. If you're unable to find any issues with the radiator, it would be best to have the transmission fluid checked and any necessary maintenance done.

This could be due to a blockage in the radiator hose, preventing the flow of coolant. Another possible reason is a malfunctioning thermostat that is not allowing the coolant to circulate properly. It's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the issue to determine the exact cause.

Three possibilities: 1. The heater is plugged with rust. 2. The radiator cap is not maintaining adequate pressure in the system. Raising the pressure prevents boiling. Rad caps contain springs that weaken with use. 3. The coolant contains too little antifreeze (too much water) and the thermostat is stuck open. Flush the system, replace the thermostat and rad cap and refill the system with 70% propylene glycol and 30% water. (Not ethylene glycol - when it spills it poisons animals.) If the problem persists replace the heater core.

if it is a slow drip or sepage, it will make, @ particles in the water will fix it,

if it is a steady drip then you will have to take it apart and wrap the pipe fitting with teflon tape, or use a pipe sealer on the threads,

The boiling point of water is 212 degrees, most vehicles now days operate ftom 205 to 215. A 50% mix of distilled water and antifreeze will extend the the boiling point to 265 degrees at sea level. If you go up in elevation the boiling point will decrease, so make sure you have a known good or new radiator cap to prevent premature water boiling in higher elevations

Yes, if the radiator fan is not working, it can cause overheating of the engine. The radiator fan helps to cool down the engine by pulling air through the radiator to remove heat. Without the fan, the engine may not receive adequate cooling, leading to overheating.

Effectually, no.

To change oil in Saab 9-3 the hood will need to be opened and then the oil drained by using the drain pan. With the oil plug removed, the oil can now be changed.

It depends if you get a motor only or the complete assembly. Disconnect the electrical connecter and remove the 4 retaining bolts and remove the fan assembly. Be careful not to hit the radiator.

at the bottom of the radiator is a funky fitting designed to be loosen by hand or a small pair of pliers...you don't remove it you simply drain then refill...also You should be able to find a shop manual at your local library with the right info...make copies as they are usually only in the REFERENCE section....good luck:)

Unbolt and remove the top cover, or metal shroud. This will give you access to the radiator. Remove the rad. hoses and trans. lines. Unplug and/or remove the two fans ( I left them on the radiator when I removed the radiator) then unbolt the radiator and lift out of the car. It will be somewhat heavy if you do not have the fluids drained from it.

I assume you need to get the tanks repaired due to leaking.

- Engine temperature is high - Could also be the thermostat (if no heat from heater) - It is possible to see the fluid flow by removing the radiator cap and looking in. How: Do not do this if the engine is hot or if the engine was recently run. Let the engine cool for 3 hours first. Remove the cap when the engine is cold. Start the engine. As the engine heats up (maybe two minutes) the thermostat will (should) open and you should see fluid flowing. May need a flash light to see into the radiator. - If some of the narrow channels in the engine block are clogged you may hear the radiator boiling after the engine has turned off.

If you are speaking of a radiator in an automobile, there is a plastic bottle on the side of the radiator, and it is marked for the fluid level; "ADD" or "FULL". The cap on the bottle will say "COOLANT ONLY" or words to that effect. Do not overfill. Older model vehicles you will add water to the radiator itself. Remove the radiator cap, slowly, and pour in the water. NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING! Wait until it cools down.

Water can be used in an emergency but there is no corrosion protection

like a mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( until the corrosion

protection in the antifreeze is " worn out " ) Also , adding just straight water

will dilute the antifreeze so the temperature at which the mixture freezes will

not be as low

The coolant leaves the radiator by way of the lower radiator hose then enters the water pump in most automotive engines.

It replaces coolant back into the system by drawing coolant from the reservoir that was pushed out into the reservoir during the heat up process.

No

Cars use a 50/50 mix for the most part to cool the engine. 70/30, 70% anti-freeze mixes are used in places that see extremely cold temperatures <-30 degrees F. Normal temperature >-30F, cars don't use 70/30 ratio because anti-freeze is less efficient at cooling than water,. This is why most race cars use very little anti-freeze( mainly for it's lubrication properties) in their cars.

Protects the engine fan and directs air flow.

Radiator fluid circulates through the engine block and the cylinder head. If the block or head has a crack or a broken gasket fluid will come from that.
