Just wanted to say thank you. I was having this same problem but with a different model car. I had tried everything I could think of and watched your video and sure enough a new radiator cap fixed the problem. Thanks for sharing your video.
This worked for me, I can’t believe it actually did. I noticed my coolant levels were really low last week and I’ve been trying to find a leak since. I never found one, so I was fearing the worst (head gasket). I wasn’t overheating, smoking, etc so I decided to try a new cap first thing this morning and sure enough, the bubbles stopped and everything seems to be back to normal on my 5.7 Hemi Commander
I'm having overheating issues on 2010 sebring 2.7L. I've tried replacing the cap and thermostat which was costly but coolant sometimes bubbles and steam comes from the overflow tank and the car overheats. The next day the car will run fine until i put more fluid in it or it runs out of fluid. Doesn't seem like a head gasket leak but I'm going to check that next. Normal signs like milky oil or white exhaust are not present.
Thank you ive been dealing with this issue for 6months if not more water pump radiator and thermostat and didnt think the damn cap has a thermostat in it as well
NEW CAP worked for BOTH my vehicles just now! I swapped in some old caps as a test........... (and failure)/ but all good now w NEW CAPS.. seems the smaller springs for the fluid take back failed - and affected sealing pressure: so boiling. Im throwing out the old caps I was keeping around! cheers
Dealing with the issue as well. Cap was already newish. replaced Water pump (again hemi issue) and thermostat. Heat was blowing cold. Let it run for a while with cap off. After thermostat opened I got a few major bubbles overflow of the radiator. Heat came back.Hopefully just a huge air pocket in the system. Still worried about the head gasket.
Hey man did you ever figure it out? My charger is having the same issues. 2014 charger RT. Coolant resovoir boiled one time but the car was not over heating at all. It was around 210° in temp and steady. A/c was on. Coolant seems low a lot. Also my heat was cold as well! Until my car was warmed up and driven a little. Any ideas?
Had that issue in my Chrysler, its a minor head gasket issue, my car would overheat randomly, pretty much if my heat is blowing cold air then my car is getting ready to overheat. I did temporary fix with blue devil head gasket repair.... until this summer will change head gasket😩
I have same problem I just replaced coolant and bled system and now it boils into reservoir but never overheats on gauge when I stop and open hood it starts to rise and boil i have the same cap like new 1 u installed but got it like 2-3 yrs ago idk if it is already messed up or what but ima look into it mines a V6 (i know) but never did it b4 no smoke or anything just boils now.....I noticed top hose on radiator to engine dont have pressure at all
Hey man, first of all there's nothing wrong with a v6 so don't let anyone give you BS about that. You may still have a little air in the system. I had a v6 before but it had a bad water pump. I would check your cap again maybe the 2 to 3 years it could have gone bad and it's the cheapest option to start with

My 2011 is boiling too. I had to replace the water pump, then it start boiling so I replaced the thermostat and it’s still boiling. Now you say the cap? Help
I would check your cap to make sure but I most ask when you replaced the water pump did you bleep the system? You most remove air from the system if not the car will overheat an or damage the engine. Check your cap if it is old I recommend replacing it. When I replaced my cap I had no issues again.
Abraham Brown I think I’m okay. I blead the water pump to remove the air out the system. I open up the air port right before the thermostat and I begin to pour 50/50 antifreeze in the reservoir until I begin to see fluid drain from the air port . I used a 3/8 bit socket to remove the nut. I left sit and a hour later started in up let it run to see if it bubbles in the reservoir. test drove it for an hour and brought it back to find it good. Thanks so much!
I am having this coolant "boiling" issue with my 2007 2.7 liter charger,so far my mechanic has changed the thermostat,waterpump,even got a new coolant bottle,not sure if he changed the cap.He is fixing to give up on my car, I have to wait till Monday to ask him if he tried this!

I would look at the cap for damage gasket like mine. If you just changed your Thermostat you may need to bleed the system to remove air. The cheapest way is to change the cap an your thermostat
@@abrahambrown20 im having the same problem with mine. I have a 2014 charger RT. I don’t think it’s the heads because I don’t see white smoke, engine isn’t making crazy noises, and no milky motor oil fluid. I hope it’s the cap
I have a 2006 Chrysler Sebring coolant boils into the reserves no white smoke and it’s only overheated once on the highway and on my way back home it was fine. Imma change the cap tomorrow and hope it fixes it
So I have a 2011 300 5.7 hemi... the reservoir bubbles and it runs hot but like yours it marks normal inside,no smoke and I put a new thermostat and bled the system ... it got so hot today it was leaking out the reservoir.. can it be the cap?
Hey bro, I have the same issue with my Mazda RX8, no white smoke just bled off cooling system and filled coolant still the same problem, the temperature stays a little past the half mark on the temp gauge on dashboard which is high for me but it stays there, doesnt go up. But the cap seems fine, should I change it anyways? The thermostat was removed by the previous owner, maybe because we live in a tropical environment or something
If the thermostat was replaced maybe they used aftermarket one. My 06 SRT was doing that same and believe me I was worried but after looking it up this was normal. I replaced mine and went with 180 thermostat which lowered my Temps so it was a little below half mark. If your car is not overheating don't worry about it. Check the coolant to see what it does and if it's normal save up for a performance thermostat made for your car.
@@abrahambrown20 Bro there is no thermostat in the car 😅 And we dont have a lot of Mazda RX8's here so I dont know which thermostat would be good for the weather here, mostly hot weather. If its normal then okay maybe I'm worried for nothing lol. All of my other cars temp stay below half so thats why I was concerned. I really appreciate your reply!
@@lating35boy45 hmmm maybe a leak. If you already checked all of that I would say take it in for a leak test. If not double check to make sure you are bleeding the system correctly. Let the car cool off open the bleeding screw a little and let the car run with heater set to max high. Once you have a steady flow close the screw but be careful not to hurt yourself. If you are not too sure drive it to a shop slowly when the system is cool and ask them to do it. Air in the system can be bad. I think you have a leak, sometimes they say check the Reservoir if it is too old replace it because it could be leaking and they are not expensive.. at list mine is not. I think I paid 40 to 60 for one on my old SRT and it took under an hour to replace.
Radiator cap has the same mechanism as the thermostat, its suppose to release excess pressure above 18 PSI, its the most overlooked part of the coolant system...car can overheat if never change👍
@@robbydarnell7531possibility if you have system similar to a jeep setup...other than that it would be the thermostat but worst case a mild head gasket can also cause bubbles

Engine Head gasket blown... something you down want. Cheap gasket but have yk take apart motor to get to it. Labor is abt 1500. Another telltale for head gasket blown is white milky oil
How much smoke are are talking about? Per comment about yea you could be dealing with blown head gasket an if so I would not be driving it. If it's a small amount it could be plugs but I would not rule out the gasket.
Well the smoke was just once for like less than a minute when i was on the freeway. I pulled over and saw the bottom of the car wet so I thought oil splashed or something. But when i got home and popped the good the coolant reservoir was boiling and coolant coming out from the cap and dripping to the bottom of the car that’s what the bottom was all wet so I thought maybe when the coolant hit the exhaust pipes it smoked
@@DavidDiaz-vi1xx did it overheat again? You may need to replace your thermostat .. The cap is cheaper and faster. If this only happened once maybe you had air in the system because the cap was not closed properly.

@@Daize504 change your cap first since that's the cheapest before doing the thermostat. If you already bleed the air I would look at the cap. The gaskets may have leak or is old. You do not want that gasket breaking into the system.
Hey dude I have a 99 Lexus GS 300 a little late but I replaced the rad cap ,thermostat , new coolant and I have no heat also but my coolant tank boils like crazy no other effects though besides the boiling any ideas ?
@@Dylan-ct4hg hmmm but it's not over heating? I would take it to a shop to get a pressure test.. maybe it is leaking air from somewhere into your system. If you don't see oil mixed with you water you should not have a blown head gasket and it you already replaced the thermostat I suggest a pressure test.. I think you are still getting or still have air in the system.
@@Dylan-ct4hg bleeding it does not require the heater.. you should have a bleeding screw you would unscrew a little that coolant comes out of it.. if you not sure I would take it to the shop and have them do it because air in your system is bad.. Secondly with the heater not working you may have something else going on with the car.. a bad thermostat but you replaced that so maybe water pump but something does leak before they go out.. at list my old chrysler 300 did.
Turning your A/C on does not cool your engine or coolant down. Your engine fan spins once it hits a certain temperature not just when you turn the fan or A/C on.
True fan comes on with it hits the appropriate temperature. The fan for the AC is the same fan for the radiator so won’t it pull fresh air and cool off the radiators coolant before it hits the assigned temperature
If anything when overheating always try heat. The heat in your car is all produced from your motor so running the heat on full blast is your best option. If anything running the AC requires more power from your car making it run hotter.

Omg i have the same issue i have a hemi and boiling coolant ugh let me go buy a cap for it
I hope it fixed your issue
What if my ac isn’t working?
Its still over heating I would try to change your thermostat
Or air in your system
Damn i just had this issue yesterday so i probably need a new cap had the same car for 5 1/2 years
Try cap first
@@abrahambrown20 I can still drive my car it won’t be any problems
@@nelmsie as long as it's not over heating.
@@abrahambrown20 just found out it was my fans it broke both of them ima getting replace as we speak
Dam bro I have the exact same problem, I changed the thermostat and same shit, Honestly bro hemi is a headach
Did it fix you problem?
After I changed the cap it fixed my issue..
I get the same issues from my century. Usually it's air that gets in the system. When i bleed it, it stops
I think i need to change my cap though
@@Daize504 change your cap first since that's the cheapest before doing the thermostat. If you already bleed the air I would look at the cap. The gaskets may have leak or is old. You do not want that gasket breaking into the system.
You saved me a lot of money
I can hear the audio of this video by just looking at the thumbnail
Hey dude I have a 99 Lexus GS 300 a little late but I replaced the rad cap ,thermostat , new coolant and I have no heat also but my coolant tank boils like crazy no other effects though besides the boiling any ideas ?
Did you bleed the system to make sure no air is in it?
@@abrahambrown20 yes I did for a while too it kept blowing out bubbles
@@abrahambrown20 can I still bleed it even though my heater does blow hot ?
@@Dylan-ct4hg hmmm but it's not over heating? I would take it to a shop to get a pressure test.. maybe it is leaking air from somewhere into your system.
If you don't see oil mixed with you water you should not have a blown head gasket and it you already replaced the thermostat I suggest a pressure test..
I think you are still getting or still have air in the system.
@@Dylan-ct4hg bleeding it does not require the heater.. you should have a bleeding screw you would unscrew a little that coolant comes out of it.. if you not sure I would take it to the shop and have them do it because air in your system is bad..
Secondly with the heater not working you may have something else going on with the car.. a bad thermostat but you replaced that so maybe water pump but something does leak before they go out.. at list my old chrysler 300 did.
I replaced the cap and thermostat, still have the same issue in my 05 4runner, no smoke it’s doesn’t over heat
Did you bleed the air out
Abraham Brown yes had my mechanic do it once
@@timeitself5463 he did it after you changed the thermostat?
You may need a new water pump
Mine Was The Thermostat Thought The Head Gasket Was Blown
Do you have a Hemi? If so did you change the radiator cap first then the thermostat an it worked for you?
My jeep is doing the same thing
Check your cap.
Check your Thermostat and make sure your bleed the system.
Turning your A/C on does not cool your engine or coolant down. Your engine fan spins once it hits a certain temperature not just when you turn the fan or A/C on.
True fan comes on with it hits the appropriate temperature. The fan for the AC is the same fan for the radiator so won’t it pull fresh air and cool off the radiators coolant before it hits the assigned temperature
If anything when overheating always try heat. The heat in your car is all produced from your motor so running the heat on full blast is your best option. If anything running the AC requires more power from your car making it run hotter.
the fan is not working on my car
Check fuse if not you need a new fan assembly
Only American cars
well damn did it work you never said anything?
Yes it worked
Yes it worked
