Radiators

If standing in front of the car. Bottom left corner you will see a black knob like a stove nob. It drains slow as hell tho. It is below and to the left of the cooling fans.

It could be the radiator, hoses, fuel pump or an engine gasket. All of those components just "give out" with time.

Remove rad shroud, remove fan clutch, remove trans cooler lines, ( use a flare nut wrench to avoid stripping the hex) remove the rad brackets then top and lower hose ends. Reverse.Make sure to fill and bleed the cooling system when done. Run vehicle at idle for 30 minutes with the rad cap off to bleed air out of system.

Blown head gasket is a distinct possibility, unless you just flushed and changed the coolant. In that case it is trapped air escaping.

Buy a kit at Wal-Mart or auto parts store comes with instructions and adaptors

It will be best for you to buy a Haynes Manual at a parts house or bookstore. It will give you full details and pictures. They have them that are specific to your car so you are not buying information on something you do not need.

the drain will be at the bottom of the radiator,either on the left or right side.

get an etemate from the local car repair place like auto zone

1.Lower corner on radiator facing engine you will find a plastic drain screw has 2 tabs hold twist counter clockwise to drain radiator ,or lower 3" hose can be removed but will drain very fast ,I use an old deep cat box to drain into . 2.Remove top half of fan scroud 2- top bolts and 2 -mid side bolts. 3.Remove upper radiator hose at raditor fold out of the way,remove lower raditor hose let hang not in the way. 4.Looking at van from front between radiator and fan left side there are 2 metal lines going into radiator these are transmission cooling lines remove with line wrench.I take a baggie and tie tie over end of lines for fluid drain catch. 5.Now look right side same area like trans lines if there are 2 lines this side remove they are oil cooler lines most dont have some do come with tow package." " 6.Now lean radiator twards fan unseat from bottom rubber lift left side 3-4 inches will come out left first. Hope this helps!!!

Are you sure its the rad? BMW suffered from viscous fan failure. Symptoms were overheating in stationary traffic but ok when driving along.

You could have had alittle over fill spill on something hot. I would suggest you check the coolant level to make sure there the same amount of what you filled

Should be located at bottom or rear of radiator or remove lower radiator hose

possibly a leak in cooling system

YOUR WASTING PEPPER. It won't work. Replace the radiator.

Should be in the bottom passanger side of the rad. Looks like a little "T" valve you will need to turn it to open it.

The impellers on the water pump could be rusted out and you're not getting coolant flow. The head gasket could have blown out if the engine overheated. Overheating the engine, especially many of the more "flimsey" foreign engines, will cause the head to warp resulting in head gasket failure. You can get a test strip that will sense carbon monoxide in the coolant. If you find carbon monoxide in the coolant, the head gasket is leaking. nope rotarys dont have head gaskets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or pistons either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! check for air in system. radiator has bleed valve on the side of inlet pipping (top hose) undo valve and fill coolant until it comes out of bleed valve, close bleed valve and top coolant off, to better insure that air is out of system, due to angle of that means raise front end of vehicle make shure that rad cap is off and heater is on at full blast hot, start engine and let it run until air is out of system and thermostat is fully opened, can determined by bubbles coming up in radiator fill housing (where the rad cap goes) once coolant all goes down and is at constant flow then thermostat is fully opened, shut off engine top off and cap it up.

Drain the Mercury Tracer radiator into a pan. Loosen the clamps at the ends of the radiator hose. Wiggle the hose to free the ends. Slide the hose off and replace it. Tighten the clamps an refill the radiator. Dispose of the old antifreeze as it is toxic to animals.

on top of the coolant resivoir

has the red coolant in a 2005 monte carlo been changed since reports on it deteriorating the head gasket?

make sure its completely cold 1 remove the expansion tank release the presure by taking the expansion cap off then put it back on after it equilized disconect the hoses upper first let them leak into a pan un screw the tanks 2 mounting bolts and unplug the coolant level sensor if you have one. make sure u rinse it out good then replace it

2 take the radiator lower shield then put ur drain pan under it and unscrew the radiator drain plug it should be on the passenger rear if i can rember correctly

3 flush the radiator out with water till its just clean water coming out of it then put the plug back in and button it up, i just flushed it threw the expansion tank since that's where u have to add the radiator fluid 50/50 mix

ok for ur car if its an auto I 4 its 7 quarts and the v6 is about 9-10 quarts the manual 2.0 is 7 quarts and the 2.5 is 8-9 quarts

Check your owner's manual. The symptoms you describe sound like those that indicate that the "Fail Safe Cooling System" is being activated by high engine temp. Check your coolant level AND make sure the water pump hasn't failed.

one because it is set on air only .. u need to shift it to warm first the RED mark...Secondly your heater wire must have come loose in the electricals. you should check out blendor store.com we had the same problem with our jeep, very helpful.

you can not put it directly into the radiator you have to fill the overflow bottle located near the firewall on the drivers side of the car The Jetta does have a round "plastic bottle" tank in the engine compartment that holds the systems water. This tank has a Max and Min mark. Only use the coolant (water and atifreez mixture) reccomended by manufature as norlmal water will eventualy cause rusting in the system.

yes... because you gonna loose water..
