Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 24, 2005 8:56 am) I did not think to check for water movement in radiator to make sure pump and t-stat were working when light problem developed, I had no warning except low coolant light. Never had any problems with coolant loss in 7 tears. This problem only existed for two days. |

I have Lexus 1993, es 300. After driving on highway for an Hour, when it is parked, the coolant pour out from the recovery bottle. we dont know why does it happen. On highway at 70 M.P.H, when ac is on, engine heating needle goes up, and then we have to turn off the AC and turn on the heating so the needle goes down. Could you please guide us, what could be wrong with the system. Tnaks.

HI I am new here. I have a 1995 c280 mercedes and it's having a cooling problem every time I park the car it sounds like the engines is boiling over and water comes out he over flow tube from the radiator cap. The temp gauges reads normal and it dose not matter if it's how outside or cold it still loses water. Any ideas?? I just got the car this spring. The electric fans come on and but it never gets hot enough to turn them on normally the gauges all read normal. the car has 220 thousand miles on it. thanks

I own a hyundai accent 95 model (used car). As part of its routine maintenance check, I had oil change last July 19, 2005 and regular flushing and refilling of the radiator coolant. However, when I inspected my reservoir the next day, it was already empty. I checked on the radiator and it was still full (green in color). I don't understand it. The reservoir was full when I had it refilled. There was no sign of leak, otherwise, the radiator would have also been empty - but it was still very full. By the way, I used Jumbo Coolant. It didn't mention about the mixing procedures. But what my mechanic did, was to fill up the reservoir of pure coolant, and then applied 50/50 formulation of coolant and water in the radiator. What went wrong?

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this question as I cannot find the "Add Discussion" link. My 1989 Cadillac Brougham (RWD) apopears to have developed a significant coolant leak. The car runs fine and doesn't appear to overheat. I have seen a small puddle of coolant on the floor of my garage and the leak appears to be coming from a spot between the rear edge of the oil pan and the leading edge of the transmission bell housing. What is wrong? What are the best-case and worst-case scenarios? What must be done? How much will this repair cost? The car is in otherwise extremely good condition so I want to keep it regardless of it's age. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
