He is going to check the heater later today. Has the heater been working when there is coolant? A clogged core could cause troubles like this Good luck! Please correct me if I'm wrong. If the gaskets look fine then you'd want to check for cracks/warpage, not fun. When you open it up the problem will usually be pretty easy to see when a gasket is faulty. With the radiator cap off many times a compression test will put bubbles into the coolant also, sure sign of leakage.īy this point I would expect the problem to either be obvious or gaskets need to be changed. It may be that only one bank is causing problems (although doing both sides is a good idea). Any variance of more than 10% is indicative of problems. This will help locate where the failure is. Many external leaks can be repaired without engine work.ģ - Record the compression for each cylinder. Would be best to do with a pressure indicating cap or gauge installed somewhere. May need to run it long enough to get fully hot before any appear. Refill.Ģ - Use UV Dye in the cooling system to locate any external leaks. In any case I suggest driving it as little as possible until repaired properly.ġ - Drain the oil into a pan. The hot gasses will pressurize the coolant system too high and it may come out through the normal tank/cap or by working its way into the oil (bad) or it gets burned and goes out the exhaust (not so bad).

This car is a load of crap looks good great sound system but who is listening to the radio when your car is making all kinds of noises (like the knocking sound I heard today) I still owe on this car but when it gets paid for it will be quickly sold or traded worst investment ever. No all of my antifreeze runs out of the stupid overflow container because it has that hose that relieves the coolant on to the ground. The the fuel injectors needed replacing because clearly super unleaded is cheap gas but injector cleaner and octane boost fixed it after the dealership planned to charge me close to 2000. Then a year later the fuel pump went out another 1200. It was the manifold gasket which costed me 1200 to get repaired. It drove great for nearly 2 years until one day it ran hot. I have read everyone else's issue and I am HOT! First got my car in 2004 it had 17000 miles on it.
