Replying to: prncssmelissa (Jun 07, 2008 10:34 pm) The main radiator cap is on the radiator, look in the owners manual and it will show you where its at. Remove this cap only when the vehicle is cold as it is pressurized. You will want to carefully check your oil on the dipstick to make sure antifreeze is not getting into the oil from a manifold leak or some such thing. If you noticed that antifreeze is getting into the oil, you must take immediate action or you're looking at replacing the engine which is as you know a BIG problem. Please let us know if you need further.
#48 of 48 05 faulty guages and freezing wiper fluid-- by jsanner Jun 24, 2008 (6:10 pm)
My 05 chevy impala has 2 of the 3 guages partially working. Fuel guage is fine, Temperature and speedometer work only 5 minutes of shifting into gears. Read on another link there is a recall on the fuel line itself, could leak fluid or false reading on guage, may cause fire. Wiper fluid freezes ever year when temperatures get close to freezing. This is the only vehicle I have ever had trouble with.
