Muchas gracias peter! As a happy owner of a toyota corolla 2008 living in México and that is showing recent overheating problems due to heat, its amazing that i can check and double check all the details involving the cooling system and learn in the process. Kiitos paljon! 😁
hello peter how r u? today my car was overheating radiator out of water. so pull over the car & thinking what should i do in this night? luckily i came by home in 2 minutes. one thing i like to know my heating spike stay on heat red line for 5-10 sec until shut down,is this heating time interval damages my engine at max heat temp for 10 sec? another thing i saw radiator water tank leaking water very clearly.. another issue which really confusing i checked that water reservoir & its full of water thats means radiator didn't pull out water from reservoir when radiator out of water. what is this kind of problem ? i need your prompt reply above 2 questions. thanks
Hello Mr. Finn, my temperature is fine and perfectly horizontal, but I just got P0125 today which points to that sensor. Once you add water (or coolant), you won't know the ratio anymore, should you use a hydrometer to confirm?
From a Toyota Corolla 2003 owner of close to 5000K Thank you I feel sorry much better after watching your helpful video also entertaining 😂😂😊 God Blessing to you 🙏😇💝
Hi, Peter. Nice video. There's another problem that can cause overheating, and that is a blown head gasket. Have you made a video on that? I know because mine was blown, and I'm in the process of putting my engine back together. I've been working on it for months, but keep having more problems. The first thing that happened was, I tried Steel Seal to fix it, but that didn't work. I replaced the head gasket and put it all back together, but the temperature went up to half way on the meter, which was higher than it ran before. It only went up about 1/3 of the way before. Then the last thing that happened was, the pin broke on the intake camshaft that turns the timing belt pulley. (I have a 1997 Toyota Corolla with a 4A-FE engine, 1.6 l.) I finally managed to extract the old pin and put in a new one. I hope it works this time. By the way, where are you from?
Hi and thanks for comment. I have here videos how to replace head gasket:ua-cam.com/video/4V0jop967Ds/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/NRT7m-e9O0Y/v-deo.html
Extremely good and detailed description of car's cooling problems. Can you please tell if I use a lower temperature thermostat for driving in summers (average 45 degrees scorching heat) will it harm the engine in any way? Regards
Had that problem with Opel and put on hot air on blower went down very quick try that trick stopped gasket from blowing thermostat was sticking would not open that six years ago
Hi. This oil consumption is issue in some Corolla motors and normally the reason is stuck piston rings in motor. You could fix that issue by replacing new piston rings, but it costs maybe 500$-1000$. Also you could use some specials oils, but I don't know how they really helps.
Hi Peter I saw your video they always good and helpful I have a question to ask you I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2015 and overheat cuple time and all the coolant leak out when it get overheated but every time I take the car to mechanic seems to me they can't find the problem I don't know if you ever experience I mean if you had any similar case that u fixed plz let me knw thnx
hi, I recently drove my corolla altis model 02', as I drove on the expressway 5th gear at 100kph - 3k rpm,the average engine temperature increases 3 lines above the middle of the temp gauge (average temp) , then I slowly reduced my rpm to 2.5k - 80kph, and it rapidly went down to its average temperature. What may have caused this slight increased in my engine temperature?
hey peter, i have 1986 toyota corolla with 4efe 1300cc engine. i am facing a heating problem with my car from few days..when i drive on highway the temperature gauge suddenly goes up to the top and on low speed it remains in the normal position.i have changed its thermostat which is rated 82C and gasket, but the problem still remain the same. plz help me out
+syed zia its the water pump! since you sent the message two months ago im sure the water pump failed by now. Also check your radiator hoses for a leak
thanks man , i know alot more about the cooling system now , good emergency tips...coke , lol...but your right itd work as a last resort ..great broken english too ...i didnt think id be able to understand you but i did , thanks dude , good work
Hi peter, i have 1990 toyota corolla 2e 1300cc engine, the problem is both gas and temp suddenly high, i change the temp and gas sending unit but the problem still remain. please help me out on this problem thanks
My car over heating.after open the engine room.saw radiator extra tank cap was popuped .after re fill the radiator.it,s work normally.corolla/1994.i ws filled full of radiator and minimum leavel of extra tank.please advise the reson for this.what kind of action do i need to take
Hi Peter My daughters 94 corolla overheated and she kept driving. The rad was empty so we refilled and started with the rad cap off and now air bubbles keep coming up out of the top of the rad. I shut it down and refilled and the rad was almost empty again!
Peter I have question for you so my car when I started up it's normal even when I drive belong to 35 mile per hour now when I drive it on the highway or over 45 miles per hour it keeps start overheating plus no heat at all
my brother have a 2012 toyota corolla 1.8. car keep over heat when ac is on but not when ac is off. whats the cause. a bad ac compressor or whats the cause. water and oil level are fine at normal level. but like i said only over hear when he use the ac only. when turn off the ac while the car is over heating the temp start going down to normal temp. whats the cause
hey mine 1995 tacoma starts overheating i check radiator ist. old last owner never put atifreeze i replace radiator. thermostate. fill of antifrezze after. some. drive test on the street still overheating. then one day dont do it im drive 1 hour on streets traficc normal and still. good no overheating drive on freeway 30 mints and no overheating. but withe smoke a litle bit im gonna use bars blown headgasket. to see if fix it
Do you remember the movie 'Red Dawn" [1984]? With an truck overheating issue when on some isolated dusty wide open environment, Patrick Swayze made a poor kid pee in his truck’s radiator. "Now get up here and piss in the radiator. "
Hi Peter! I For some reason, I have been able to drive without the blower, nor AC on. The temp needle goes up just before the red area but not into overheating, when accelerating. I noticed that the car runs better with thr AC on, than it does with the blowers off. I had to replace the water neck of the heater hose which probably allowed air into the engine. I don't know. I don't see crazy amounts of smoke coming from exhaust. Also I keep being told that my water pump may be leaking but I do not see coolant leaking under the car or else, I would have to keep refilling the radiator. My fans do not come on, until I unplug from the radiator fan switch near the bottom of the radiator. I know there are still bubbles in the system. Do I have to necessarily have the blower on high and on full blast heat to rid air of the coolant system?
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor no the car doesnt smoke. I have code P0441- p0446 indicated a bad egr flow and something about the evap canister having a insufficient flow.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor messing around with the fan relays. Cooling fan relay 2 turns on and stays on if relay is not in all the way. Cooling fan 1 cuts on with the relay barely touching the receptacle. Short maybe.
Hi Peter, couple of days ago i flushed the radiator of toyota corolla 7aFe engine with a radiator flush , being on the road driving around i noted the water bottle and the radiator are boiling, the temperature on the dashboard is working fine and the car does NOT OVERHEAT, what could be possibly the problem?
I have a 1998 corolla and a 2000 corolla both of them were loosing oil and no idea why. Need to add half quart every two weeks or every 500 miles. Any idea on why Corollas from 1998 - 2002 are known in loosing oil. Both start loosing oil after they reach 100k miles. Both cars have never fail the smog test. The 2000 corolla has failed a catalytic converter after 100k miles. I used 10w30 on both cars and thinking of trying 20w50 on the 1998 corolla and mix some oil leak stopper.
Hey peter. Im having some trouble with my 2007 toyota corolla. Just the beginning of this year i took my car to mechanic shop and replaced the head gasket due to over heating. Also before i took the mechanic shop i decided to do change water pump, thermostat, brand new radiator and than dod a head gasket from a shop. Ok so than everything running greay foe the next few 4 momths when i took a long trip with my wife to a car show. I saw that the meter tsmp was going up at higb speed. Didnt go all the way up but went above the normal temp. And when i slowed down the temp slowly lowered back down. Now when i got to the car show i popped off the radiator cap and saw that there was no coolant so i brrwed a friend car tp go get some 50/50 coolant mix and throught it in also the reservoir was empty so i added a little bit. And the cooling fan does work as well. Ok so i filled it up on the way back home i drove under 65 mph all the way home but when i went up hills temperture started going up a little. So i pulled over again and now the resevoir looks like it over flowing. But i also noticed i had a small crack ontop the reservoir cooling fan. Can that cause it to over heat. Sorry for the long story
TheJdmstyles Hello. Thanks for good information. You live hot area and I recommend to you, that you should replace current thermostat to lower temperature thermostat. And you could also add extra fan to radiator. Also small crack on top the reservoir cooling fan should fix.
Ok peter thanx. I went ahead and buy a new reservoir cooling fan to replace the old one. I will try that first. I live in a cold area actually. It never gets hot here but when i went to the car show it was in bakersfield california and it was pretty hot at that time
Hi Peter, RE: follow up from yesterday advice you told me to add coolant to my radiator (7aFe engine toyota corolla 1.8 GSE ), just now i was driving a distance of 65 kms at a speed of 140 kms per hour, when i stopped i noticed the water reservoir or water container is boiling or bubbling and hot steam coming from it, why its boiling...because the water should stay in the radiator and be regulated there, what could be the problem?
Adding water to a cars cooling system changes the boiling point and freezing point of the coolant which means that on a cold day the coolant could actually freeze inside of the engine or radiator, which could cause extensive damage to cooling system components. Also the boiling point is lowered when water is added into the system which means that steam could be produced if the car even starts to slightly overheat which can cause damage to the cars head gasket and other components. Yes you can add water to a cars cooling system just don't add alot. However water is alot better than screen wash which is what some cars have in their expansion tanks when they visit the Toyota dealership I work at 😂🤦♂️
hi I have 2008 corolla in that I have a issue while I driving a car in 80-100kmph the temperature rising up to red mark automatically reduced to normal temperature.I need your help to solve the issue
I just bought a Toyota Avalon 1998 its overheating pretty bad one guy said its the thermostat one that is the water pump one that says is the radiator what do I do for the least amount of money. Everything else seems to be in pretty good condition
Hi peter, I have the same engine, my car overheats only at high speed, the heaters are cold when I put on full, I have changed the thermostat but still have the issue please help
thanks, I actually pulled the console and lit it up with a flashlight and did not see anything to do with a temp icon..... I had removed the bulb for the engine warning light to keep it from coming on and freaking out my elderly parents...... I put it back but I may remove it again..... it comes on when there is high humidity (O2 sensor). A "service station" ripped them off when I was on vacation for $700 saying the light said the car had a bad transmission.
PETER FINN THE CAR DOCTOR = --- 1.) How do you check if your radiator is blocking Air or has good Air flow, how can I test it? 2.) How do you check if the water pump is working correctly? 3.) The Radiator Fan turns ON at 210F degrees on ALL cars? 4.) Why do you have to use Distilled water and can't use House Tap water in the Radiator? 5.) Thermostat OPENS at operating temperature at 182F degrees? by squeezing the upper radiator hose you can feel if the radiator fluid is flowing and closed at 180F degrees to check if the Thermostat is working correctly?
nice video 👍, sir i have a Toyota sienna 1999 it get overheat after some time when i have traveled for a while, i took the vehicle to a mechanic shop and he told it my gear transmission system that causes my vehicle to overheat how possible can that be, please help out?
Hi peter, i had 94 toyota gli, while running in expressway temp is ok but it is increasing when i was on toll gate then when start running my car again temp decreasing again.is it normal or has a problem? TIA
My car temp goes up while driving around 120-140kph. When i reduce to 100kph or less it goes back to normal. Can you help me solve the problem? Thanks!
Hello, I have 99 Toyota Corolla and I had replace water pump, temp sensor, thermostat, relay and change coolant. The cool & hot gauges still raising to HOT but engine isnt hot and is overheating. Can you help and tell me what else, I can replace.. Thank you
Am following your explanation but I think to my side is the proper gasket is what am laking on 4e engine course ave check everything by all means doing the same
+sunny cheng If your water is boiling with white foam, try flushing the cooling system first to eliminate the possibility of any additives, contaminants and/or an improper mixture of water/coolant. If that doesn't correct the problem, check your oil, does it look like chocolate milk or have a thick mocha color to it? If so, it's possible that you may have a leak or a crack in the block or head(s) causing motor oil to seep into the cooling system.
i have 1998 corolla and it was over heating, I changed the thermostat to a new one. The car still over heats, I checked the fans and they do turn ON. The car only over heats when going up hills on the highway. What should I check next?
Hi I Just Replaced A Radiator on a 2001 toyota celica and its overheating . I didn't have problems with my old radiator , why does it overheat with a new one ?
There’s alot more to say my father had a old car which was overheating every week that’s why i know alot more than this like he told me that never turn off your car when it is overheating once he did it and the car did not started again
I have a toyota corolla 2001, the engine overheating due to water pump failures. I stop the engine, replace the water pump.but the car don't start, the water did not go to the engine.can it be something electronic is not working,? is the engine gone?please help anyone?
This is up there with one of the worsed videos I've ever seen on you tube. If I need this basic info to fix my car I would be pulling my hair out to wait threw the video to get it.
PETER FINN THE CAR DOCTOR === == I don't know how to test the temperature sending unit or where its at in cars. I'm not sure if the sending unit means a sensor. 1.) How do you test or what do you use to test the temperature sending unit? 2.) Can I buy a digital gauge at PEP BOYS and install it in the fuse box wires by slicing the wires to test if the analog temperature gauge in the car dash temp gauge is reading false reading measurements of the temperature? 3.) Can you make a youtube video showing how to test the car dash gauges to see if they work correctly and not reading false readings and how to test the sending units to the cars gauges? 4.) I don't know how to test the cars gas gauge, oil gauge, temperature gauge using a ohm meter or what other test tool can I use to test these gauges are working correctly and not giving false reading or not working correctly?

Hello, Thanks for comment. :-)
Hello Mr. Finn, my temperature is fine and perfectly horizontal, but I just got P0125 today which points to that sensor. Once you add water (or coolant), you won't know the ratio anymore, should you use a hydrometer to confirm?
Add both in roughly equal parts.

I finally managed to extract the old pin and put in a new one. I hope it works this time.

Good idea
Had that problem with Opel and put on hot air on blower went down very quick try that trick stopped gasket from blowing thermostat was sticking would not open that six years ago
Hi. This oil consumption is issue in some Corolla motors and normally the reason is stuck piston rings in motor. You could fix that issue by replacing new piston rings, but it costs maybe 500$-1000$. Also you could use some specials oils, but I don't know how they really helps.

Hi, please replace first the thermostat.
thank u for your support
Peter, which is the rate temp for Toyota Corolla 90, 91, 92? Thanks for your help.
90
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor thanks You very mucho, i enjoy your videos, i learn to much.
I just bought a Toyota Avalon 1998 its overheating pretty bad one guy said its the thermostat one that is the water pump one that says is the radiator what do I do for the least amount of money. Everything else seems to be in pretty good condition
+Jonny Dakota Thanks for feed back. :-)
I have the same problem
Hi peter, I have the same engine, my car overheats only at high speed, the heaters are cold when I put on full, I have changed the thermostat but still have the issue please help
what warning light will come on if a toyota corolla 2005 starts to overheat? just curious, thanks
No any warning light, only TEMP meter is high.
thanks, I actually pulled the console and lit it up with a flashlight and did not see anything to do with a temp icon..... I had removed the bulb for the engine warning light to keep it from coming on and freaking out my elderly parents...... I put it back but I may remove it again..... it comes on when there is high humidity (O2 sensor). A "service station" ripped them off when I was on vacation for $700 saying the light said the car had a bad transmission.
....... My mechanic and owners manual is same for 2006 Camry...only have Temp meter to rely on...
thanks!
If my thermostat is bad would this cause the heat gauge go up when i put on throttle?
Yes
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor thank you peter i will do s change on mine
PETER FINN THE CAR DOCTOR =
--- 1.) How do you check if your radiator is blocking Air or has good Air flow, how can I test it?
2.) How do you check if the water pump is working correctly?
3.) The Radiator Fan turns ON at 210F degrees on ALL cars?
4.) Why do you have to use Distilled water and can't use House Tap water in the Radiator?
5.) Thermostat OPENS at operating temperature at 182F degrees? by squeezing the upper radiator hose you can feel if the radiator fluid is flowing and closed at 180F degrees to check if the Thermostat is working correctly?
1998 toyota overheat. fuse and relay r ok. cooling fan swich ok but my fan not working. what else should i check?
Have you replace radiator and thermostat ?
no i haven't
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor thank you
nice video 👍, sir i have a Toyota sienna 1999 it get overheat after some time when i have traveled for a while, i took the vehicle to a mechanic shop and he told it my gear transmission system that causes my vehicle to overheat how possible can that be, please help out?
Hi, you might need a new radiator, thermost and coolant pump
4y engine overheat when driving at high speed and i reduce speed to 60 goes back to normal
Did you ever figure this one out?
Hi peter, i had 94 toyota gli, while running in expressway temp is ok but it is increasing when i was on toll gate then when start running my car again temp decreasing again.is it normal or has a problem? TIA
Ok, you might need to replace these parts: radiatior, radiator fan and thermostat and waterpump
Ok, you might need to replace these parts: radiatior, radiator fan and thermostat and waterpump
Peter Finn you mean all of those parts ?
Start from radiator.
My car temp goes up while driving around 120-140kph. When i reduce to 100kph or less it goes back to normal. Can you help me solve the problem? Thanks!
Can you tell me what it was?
Thanks for comment 👍😀
My Temperature meter goes all the way up but it does not boil what might be the cause of that
Thanks for comment and noted 👍😀
Hey I have a 2011 Corolla and it only overheats when I turn a.c on
samual2121 roll windows down
How to check thermostat if it's good or not?
Temp meter and boiling pan
You just wet your fan. Is that OK?
Thanks. well done.
Thanks ! :-)
Thank you sir
Thanks ! Good idea. :-)
I did the top of my toyota conquest 7afe engine put new pistils new water pump but still pipes a getting blown and it over heat what is wrong
Maybe thermostat and radiator bad?
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor to my surprise the temperature doesn't go up but it bust pipes the thermostat is out
Hello,
I have 99 Toyota Corolla and I had replace water pump, temp sensor, thermostat, relay and change coolant. The cool & hot gauges still raising to HOT but engine isnt hot and is overheating. Can you help and tell me what else, I can replace..
Thank you
I have a Carina 5afe Engine whose Fan is not kicking at all. Help.
Thanks for comment and noted 👍😀
Am following your explanation but I think to my side is the proper gasket is what am laking on 4e engine course ave check everything by all means doing the same
Thank You. :-)
Okay fine have you had a Toyota corolla problem
What if radiator water is booling with white foam coming out????
sunny cheng Hi. It is high temp coolant.
+sunny cheng If your water is boiling with white foam, try flushing the cooling system first to eliminate the possibility of any additives, contaminants and/or an improper mixture of water/coolant. If that doesn't correct the problem, check your oil, does it look like chocolate milk or have a thick mocha color to it? If so, it's possible that you may have a leak or a crack in the block or head(s) causing motor oil to seep into the cooling system.
My 2011 avalon keeps over heating and its leaking pink antifreeze
Ok, replace new radiator and low TEMP thermost.
Yea don't forget to burp the system for air an add more water as needed
i have 1998 corolla and it was over heating, I changed the thermostat to a new one. The car still over heats, I checked the fans and they do turn ON. The car only over heats when going up hills on the highway. What should I check next?
Hi, change new low temp thermostat to engine and install new electric fan to radiator.
Same here it seems at a certain altitude it runs hot then goes down.
Peter finn thank you
😀👍
Hi I Just Replaced A Radiator on a 2001 toyota celica and its overheating . I didn't have problems with my old radiator , why does it overheat with a new one ?
Maybe your new radiator is bad or not a original part. Maybe stuck inside the radiator?
Having same problem with a 1.8 gxi corolla
Wat cause a 1191 Toyota sedan to over heating
BAd radiator
Yea my temperatura
you said temperature very thoroughly, like so many times, lol!
Thanks Sir. :-)
mr peter are you from soviet union ? lithoyania? latvia ?your jub is soviet practice
Ok
3:03 should probably open it to the direction you are not on because the steam may spray on you and burn you
Ok
There’s alot more to say my father had a old car which was overheating every week that’s why i know alot more than this like he told me that never turn off your car when it is overheating once he did it and the car did not started again
Should probably mention that you should wait until the radiator cap is cool before opening it.
Yes, good point.
You can just put cold water on it and it will cool down or you can open with a cloth
Reyan Sohail no you can’t. And you shouldn’t be telling people that.
Boss this is a stupid question but what engine can i fit my 9t corolla that will make it stronger
Lexus V8 is best like LS400
Is it going to fit on under my hood?
What about a v6 boss?
Yeah, little more Job
Sounds OK too
2006 Toyota Corolla gets hot when in park for about a couple of minutes then gos back down do you know wat it could be a fan ,relay switch,fuse???
Please check coolant level
The fan seems weak to should I replace the fan ?
You can cool and destroy your engine immediately🤣🤣🤣 do that 3x a day and call me in the morning😬
06 corrola the temp pegged our on hot then when I killed the car it dropped halfway instead of going down to cold
Hi, your temp sensor is damaged.
+Peter Finn so the car itself didn't over heat?
everytime i press the gass mine goes up😢
Try to check the electricals of your dashboard maybe its not the engine but the grounding of the dashboard.
ياخي انت تعبي ماء ولا بتغسل الكبوت
NEVER PUT WATER IN.
Dude, if water is all I have and I’m broke down, water is going in it.
holy shit peter u need to pour the water in the radiator not clean engine with it hahahahahaaa
Jezzo it must take you a week to do a service.
Thanks!😀👍
Temperature gauge does not work
You need a replace sensor
I have a toyota corolla 2001, the engine overheating due to water pump failures. I stop the engine, replace the water pump.but the car don't start, the water did not go to the engine.can it be something electronic is not working,? is the engine gone?please help anyone?
Well, you might have engine failure, please open the engine.
This is up there with one of the worsed videos I've ever seen on you tube. If I need this basic info to fix my car I would be pulling my hair out to wait threw the video to get it.
HOW 2 PUT WATER IN YOUR CAR ,MO0VIE EXSALANTAY
👍
Nice job filling the radiator. About 90% of that water is in and around your engine bay and on the ground.
Yes, next time 100% in radiator.
lmao
+Peter Finn ahahaha you'll get the whole 100% next time
Angel Garcia lmfao
Such a tragedy,
God bless and stay safe

== I don't know how to test the temperature sending unit or where its at in cars. I'm not sure if the sending unit means a sensor.
1.) How do you test or what do you use to test the temperature sending unit?
2.) Can I buy a digital gauge at PEP BOYS and install it in the fuse box wires by slicing the wires to test if the analog temperature gauge in the car dash temp gauge is reading false reading measurements of the temperature?
3.) Can you make a youtube video showing how to test the car dash gauges to see if they work correctly and not reading false readings and how to test the sending units to the cars gauges?
4.) I don't know how to test the cars gas gauge, oil gauge, temperature gauge using a ohm meter or what other test tool can I use to test these gauges are working correctly and not giving false reading or not working correctly?
There is possibility that your fingers cut and you have shorter fingers 😂
Yes
Tem pa re tu re 🙂
