    New radiator, upper and lower coolant hoses and clamps also replaced the thermostat... No overheating, oil and coolant mixing but I still keep getting a drop in the coolant level even after topping off! No visible leaks or pooling under the car either lol I'm stumped

      Might be the block is cracked or the head gasket is faulty . Also the water pump was my problem it was faulty .I had the same problem you are having and the pump was bad

      I will be doing the uv dye test to see because I keep loosing coolant too waiting for the pump as what the mechanic suggested but still going to do the dye test to find any leaks

      I had a new radiator, upper and lower hoses and thermostat installed too and I'm also noticing small coolant loss, maybe 5 to 10 oz a week.
      It was hard to find but i tracked it down to what looks like the thermostat housing where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. It'll drip onto the transmission and is hard to spot.

    I flushed the system . Radiator has a crack leak .. when I refill the coolant container . The car gets hot and the coolant boils and overflows. Everyone says bad head gasket, temp gauge stays at the half mark, engine doesn’t smoke or anything. Would the radiator cause this? ( the reservoir overflows hot with the cap off)

    My engine bay gets extremely hot and my fan runs very fast when my ac is on. But I have no lights... my engine temp needle stays at constant normal temp when it warms up. I am not sure what is going on. I'm scared to drive my car but it runs fine. Could I have a bad radiator? It's a 2010 mercedes e class so I thought the thousands of sensors would at least tell me if my engine is overheating or the radiator is not working but I am at a loss here.

      Same here. 4 shops later, not a bad head gasket, changed all hoses and thermostat housing, coolant leaking from the hoses. connections near the radiator cap. Upper radiator hose gets hot at hell but no lights, no overheating.

      You may have a bad cooling fan resistor, have it checked and replaced if necessary

      So I changed the water pump change the rag cap again one head gasket stop leak flushed it out after radiator notice still burning coolant back around the thermostat so I changed out the thermostat housing and haven't had any leaking yet but now I have the gas cap light in my miles per gallon is very low any ideas it seems with these vans that the motors are very temperature temperamental so if it's above 70 it starts to find its way out of the motor if it stays below it runs just fine like it's possessed LOL

    • @jamesclinesr2511
      @jamesclinesr2511 Рік тому

      I also change my thermostat but I got antifreeze on the top of the radiator and a big long puddle alone the whole bottom of the radiator so I’m hoping that that’s all it is. It’s freaking stupid.

  • @seireitei4193
    @seireitei4193 2 місяці тому

    Correction, fins dont transfer antifreeze, and therefore they cant leak, tubes to which the fins are connected to, do carry the liquid. Fins are there only to aid the cooling process by dissipating the heat more efficiently. You can even tear off all the fins and the radiator is gonna work just fine. By "just fine" i mean it's gonna work but not nearly as effective as with the fins still attached.

    when I have mine idling I noticed yesterday when I putting in coolant theres a point it starts spitting it out or (overflowing) itll swing back down and the coolant would rise and again like if it's over flowing I had to keep putting in coolant till I realized that it kept doing that so I put as much as possible for the moment

    Ram to the store on my lunch break. When I came back my radiator had smoke or something shooting out and there was a definite leak. Hose was fine. I had absolutely no coolant in the overflow reservoir. Grabbed three gallons of antifreeze. Put one gallon in the over flow and a little over one gallon in the radiator cap. Had a guy look at it and said my radiator was cracked but idk if I trust him. My radiator is dirty so I am going to clean it as well. Never had any issues with it before.
