#15 of 27 Re: water light that won't go away [spr0ut] by tabz4u2 Feb 04, 2009 (5:49 pm)
Replying to: spr0ut (Jun 06, 2007 4:40 pm) My low coolant light has came on too with my 2000 cavalier. I keep on putting in anti-freeze, and have recently put it in 3 times within the past month and a half. I checked my oil and nothing is wrong with my oil, and my engine seems to be running fine; its not over heating on bit. What possibly could be wrong with it? Its leaking somewhere, but I'm not sure Replies to this message: xcrossroadsx (Feb 05, 2009 9:50 am)

BUT when the car was idle It leaked by the gallon! I replaced the water pump and the car runs better then ever!!! also if you installed the thermostat the wrong way that would cause loosing coolant!
#18 of 27 2002 Cavalier with Coolant Leak by gchecksfield Feb 22, 2009 (4:22 pm)
There is a leak due to corrosion in an elbow in the coolant system in my son's 2002 Cavalier 2.2. The upper radiator hose connects to the elbow, which goes into the engine (block?). How is this elbow replaced? Does it simply pull out from the engine? Is a new elbow reinserted with a high temperature sealer? Thanks for any help.

Where are the coolant temp sensor and fan relay located on a 2004 2.2L Cavalier? Mine runs continuously, even from a cold start.

#22 of 27 coolant system by supermex Jul 01, 2009 (4:45 pm)
my son has a 2004 cavalier that is blowing white smoke in the morning and fades away as the car warms up. it is also using coolant as he has to add some periodically. there is no sign of a coolant leak on the pavement. my guess is its leaking internally and after talking with a mechanic on the phone he seemed to think that it may be a blown head gasket. my question is could it be something else? or if is is indeed the head gasket i know that there is some products made for this problem but its recommend that all the coolant be drained before using it. my 2nd question is how do you completely drain the system? also there is no radiator cap. please help Replies to this message: xcrossroadsx (Jul 02, 2009 7:39 am) supermex (Jul 02, 2009 1:14 pm)

Replying to: supermex (Jul 01, 2009 4:45 pm) White smoke can be a transmission problem also, but if your losing coolant it is most likely a head gaske, especially if it's a Cavilier. Adding products to a cooling system with a leaky head gasket will only make the problem worse. The head has to be pulled and the gasket replaced before you end up with a cracked head or worse.

Replying to: xcrossroadsx (Jul 02, 2009 7:39 am) you maybe right but at this point im willing to try anything that might help. ive heard from a mechanic and also a friend that talks from expirience that a product called liquid glass is very good and also alot cheaper than the 900 dollar job of getting a new gasket put on. what do you think? are you a mechanic? thanks for the advice and i hope to hear from you soon.
