Radiators
A radiator is a heating device that consists of a series of pipes where steam or fluid circulates. There are different types of radiators, namely hot water, steam, fan-assisted, under-floor heating, and electric baseboard.

I assume you meant 95 Ford Contour. There is no bleeding when replacing antifreese. Just fill the radiator recovery tank as there is no radiator cap on these vehicles.
Where is the radiator drain plug on a 1995 ford ranger?
looking at the motor, its on the right side of the radiator at the bottom
What is the water capacity for a radiator for Volkswagen passat?
For the radiator only, 2 to 3 quarts. For the complete cooling system, 8 to 9 quarts.
Do you need antifreeze to drive your car?
No, but antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors in it's formula. These help to stop corrosion forming internally, and will also protect the head gasket from corroding.
Antifreeze added to the water in your cooling system lowers the freezing point of the coolant, preventing the liquid from freezing in the cold winter. It also raises the boiling point of the coolant. If you drive your car with water and no antifreeze, your car will heat up and the water will get hot enough to boil over. With antifreeze, the coolant will continue to do its job of keeping the engine from overheating which can result in damage to the engine.
Where is the fuse located for the radiator fan on a 95 aurora?
There is a small fuse box behind a little plastic door on the left side of the dash. Can be seen with the drivers door open. It will either be in there, or more likely, in one of the two fuse boxes under the rear seat. IF THY FANS DONT COME ON MORE THAN LIKEY IT IS A SENSOR WHEN TO ENGINE GETS HOT THE SENSOR TURNS ON THE FANS.
your radiator clogged up.cheaper to get a new radiator. nothing to do with the radiator cap.
How do you fill radiator fluid for Mazda MPV?
you have to put the radiator fluid in the overflow. This is the only way.
Why doesn't my car blow hot air?
Maybe
- your water pipes are clogged, you need to flush
- there is no power getting to your fan, check your fuses and wiring.
mixture of the radator fluid
This answer is possible but it is not correct and is a poor choice. There are a number of reasons why a car's engine overheats and the original question doesn't give enough information about the car and its overheating symptoms to deduce the answer to being a mixture of radiator fluid. It's not a good way to answer at all other than it being a guess.
The engine can overheat b/c the radiator is old and fill with rust/dus particles that clog it up and the engine as well as the hoses. It can overheats if there's a cooling fan and it's not being turned on at lower speed (bad relay switch or fan motor). It can overheat if it's low in coolant or that the water pump is not working well. It can overheat due to a bad/broken head gasket. It can overheat with trapped air in the cooling system that needs bleeding. When driving with AC on uphill for extended period of time, it can and prob. will overheat, etc. Many reasons for the overheat and to simply give the answer of mixing radiator is simply naive and dull. Do more research being being trigger happy with the fingers :)
How do you replace a 2002 grand prix radiator?
take the front motor bone mounts should have 4 bolt per mounttake fans off then remove the trans lines then remove the both hoses
Cost to replace a 2005 Volvo s60 radiator?
I paid the dealer just over 1000.00 to replace radiator core and related parts. It had a very slow leak that only manifested when the engine was hot.
What happens if you put oil in car radiator?
Circulating water will not be sufficient and the car will overheat.
Why is water used as a coolant in the radiators of cars and why does it smell bad?
When water is pumped around a hot engine it gets very hot. It then goes into the top of the radiator and down the thin tubes to the bottom of the radiator. When the car is moving, or if the fan is spinning, the water in the radiators thin tubes is cooled. Then it goes back in the engine, heats up and the process repeats. The water will make the engine rust, so a corrosion inhibitor needs to be added to the water (usually in the form of antifreeze .) If it smells like poo the system probably needs draining and flushing out and then re-filling.
What can cause high pressure in the cooling system of a Saturn?
High pressure in a car's cooling system might be caused by exhaust gases from normal engine combustion entering the cooling system. The exhaust gases might be entering the coolant due to a head gasket that is leaking, or perhaps even due to a cracked engine block. Note that under normal operation, cooling systems are pressurized due to the heat expansion of the coolant. However, if a fairly new radiator and/or hose has burst, or if the coolant hoses connecting to the radiator are rigid with pressure, this is abnormally high pressure.
How do you fill up your radiator?
1) remove radiator cap
2) Fill radiator with coolant.
3) replace radiator cap
4) remove reservior cap
5) fill to "fill cold" line
6) replace reservior cap
If your system not very low or empty you can omit 1-3.
Where is radiator cap 2001 saturn?
The radiator does not have a cap, instead, the coolant system reservoir is also pressurized and the pressure cap is on the reservoir.
The radiator of the car must be filled with water upto the brim, so that the engine will remain cool.
What causes the transmission fluid to leak into the radiator?
I would say its a bad radiator
are you sure its tranny fluid and not motor oil, in which case you could have a blown head gasket?
**correct answer** there should be a transmission cooler that allows transmission fluid to flow through your rad at some point, these lines, when they break, will let transmission fluid into your rad, it also lets coolant into the transmission, which can destroy your transmission.
How do you remove a 1997 explorer radiator?
Last week I had to replace the radiator and hoses on my 1997 Explorer XLT, 8 cylinder. I ran into one major hurdle: There was no way to remove the old radiator without first discharging and removing the A/C compressor. Then switching out the old radiator was a piece of cake! Of course I had to replace and recharge my A/C afterwards, which while I hated to spend the $80 to do this, it was STILL better than ripping my hair out trying to figure out a way to get the old radiator out without upsetting the A/C compressor. [If anyone knows of a better way, I would like to know. Also, I didn't have my Explorer on a lift so I'm not sure if that would have helped?] Sincerely, DRS2
Where is the radiator drain plug for a 1999 Nissan Quest?
DRAIN PLUG IS ON RIGHT SIDE OF RADIATOR. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC PROTECTION UNDER THE RADIATOR TO GET TO IT.
How can you tell if you have a problem with your water pump?
If the engine is overheating and you have checked all other causes of overheating. Start the engine cold and immediately remove the radiator cap. Look to see if you have flow. If not, the pump is more than likely bad. If the pump is leaking, making any noises, or the shaft can be moved from side to side, the pump is bad.
How do do you get oil out of the radiator of a 97 peugeot 306?
With a straw LOL, or flush the raditor with fresh water, keep doing it for 15 minutes or so and hopefully should remove most of the oil. Bit of detergent might help to - but remember to ensure that all that is flushed out to.
