Over the last few months we have had constant coolant problems. We have replaced the radiator, the thermostat, and both the upper and lower intake gaskets. However, after all this, we still have the same problems. The heater dosn't work. The temp gauge rises and falls regularly between mid level and 3/4. Every few days we have to add coolant to the radiator. The reservoir will be full when the radiator is empty we can't seem to find where the coolant is leaking. Any ideas?

The temp gauge fluctuation and lack of heat is due to combustion gases being pushed into the cooling system ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. deckman New User Mar 28, 2015, 6:17 PM Post #3 of 5 (1361 views) Re: Coolant system problems Sign In that makes sense! Thanks! about what will that cost me?

Do check something that can fool you when a reservoir is staying full, leaking system and a radiator found low that the hose/tube from radiator to the tank is intact. The can and will push out coolant and NOT suck it back into system not usually so much as to lose heat but worth the check on any really, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
