For the novice out there, make sure your engine is cooled down before opening that radiator cap. If you have to open it while the engine is running, using a towel over it and slowly turning it and let the pressure slowly release the air/coolant or what not. Wear eye goggles.

First time doing this and in a women but I've learned if you want something done right do it yourself. Thanks for your help

I’ve been having overheating issue for a couple of years... this help A LOT - THANK YOU!!!

Very good in details and diagnoses, my Insignia was alway leaking coolant, the problem was the Damaged thermostat, ( the rubber seal was melted and disappear) thanks.

Great video brother!!, straight forward, direct & easy to comphrend.

This lesson gives me the full idea, thanks a lot.

Great video. Straight forward and easy to follow. Another area to check is the heater core. Check for wet spots inside vehicle on passenger side under dash. Try back flushing heater core before replacing.

Thank you so much - this has really helped me. My car heats up when at the stop light or slow driving in traffic - so now mechanics in my country won't lie to me - i am informed. Thank you so so much.

Thanks, very informative!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing

Very informative

Finally found a video that answered my question. Thank you!

Older video but a great one. Thank you

Great video

Very important thing to check - Oil tank, because water can leak to engine through head gasket and mix with oil what will cause milky colour of oil. Additionally this significantly reduces lubrication properties of oil and can cause severe damage to engine.

You explain the way i like ❤

Very nice great job brother 👍

thank you for this

Mint, thank you.

Thanks for this

Thanks for the great info! I have a 2008 tacoma 4 cyl my truck overheats I checked there's no sign of coolants in the oil. It's got a new water pump new thermostat it looses about half a gal coolants every 100 miles.. any help will be appreciated

God bless you for your wise godly message. Quick question. I have a 2018 buick encore. Its over heating. Im using water til i figure out whats wrong. When it over heats. I notice high pressure out of reservoir. Sometimes the water is low sow i add. Most time it has water. Also no mixing of any other fluids in resorvoir. No leaks underneath and no strange noise. I think my oil could be low. Will do oil change. My question if the oil level is low. Would that cause overheating. Also noticed that some days all works fine. Can you please share your input on this. Just checked oil. Past the full line. Put oil dip stick back in and got a bad knocking sound and a lot of smoke from engine exhaust and resorvoir cap. That I loosened. Had to turn off car.

great video. thank you

Excellent video very well done. Thank you for this video.

Thank you 😊

im dealing with my car overheating too right now...it went all the way to the H in the temperature gauge.. and was smokey too lols..just took it to Midas i hope its just a thermostat, or something easy to repair/fix. pray for me guys !!!! i hate paying for the costs car repairs aint no joke...lets just say my damn car is always in the shop 2 or 3 times a year lols.

Very helpful thanks

Crystal would like to ask right you're ready it is clean no leaking from the water pump and engine oil changes proper water pump problem but the water is building a pressure into the hose back to the radiator and sometime here bubbling it what could be a cause of it

Very simple and helpfull

That battery is growing some nice crystals!

I’ve noticed that it was low on coolant. When the engine is cold I take off the radiator cap, turn on the car and then pour the coolant so that it goes through the system evenly as I pour. Once it’s full, I put the cap back on and close it. I’ve been told this is the proper way. Is this correct? Thank you for this video. Having trouble with the 05 Lotus Elise where it’s fluctuating numbers when it’s sat over night and I turn it on in the driveway in the am and shows high temp 😖 It wasn’t driven anywhere!!! Aagghhh

Awesome

Should we check the cooling level on the reservoir?

What temperature should the radiator hoses be when they are hot or what shouldn’t they exceed ? Mine get really really hot

Thanks

Can a missing intake bolt cause your vehicle to overheat?

On my 2003 Ford Ranger, once is hot I can open the radiator cap and the coolant stays put and doesn’t overflow, is that normal? However , when the truck is off but hot and I open the radiator the coolant comes up and overflows, your thoughts?

what about ECT sensor or air pockets?

My fans are working fine I changed the radiator and the water pomp is new and is still over heats I also added new hose tees because it would break them

I found a cut in cap of radiator which results in emptying all water from radiator. In accent gle petrol engine water gets mixed How to resolve it Car not starting Batter discharged completely Pl help

I got a 86 f150 and I replaced timing chain. water pump, thermostat, and the radiator and its not necessarily over heating so much as its just boiling water an keeping it in the reserve. I thought it'd be head gasket but aside from heat theres no other sighns like the milky oil. and I'd prefer not to go back in for that.

Ive checked my coolant, it is leaking from somewhere in my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I've had the radiator replaced, the water pump hose replaced, coolant cap replaced, the fan is working fine. Jeep dealership didn't diagnose head gasket issue, or faulty thermostat. So I am guessing due to having no working heating, ( cabin air is cold) that I have a leak in the hoses going to the heating core, is this the most likely cause. Or the pipes are blocked? Or could there be air in the pipes? I'm at loss, it's my daily driver, it's winter and no heat in the cabin means I can't even defrost my windscreen

Seems like there are two other causes. 1. Impeller on the water pump is broken, so water won't be pumped through the system. Do you have any easy diagnostic technique? 2. Plugged radiator. If you're sure the radiator cap is good, the coolent isn't leaking, the thermostat is working, the head gasket is intact and your fans are working. It seems like it has to be a radiator plugged up or the water pump impeller is broken. Got any ideas on how to determine which one it is?

4:25 I definitely just learned something new

Great... thanks

i have a 2004 cadillac deville and i had a leak on my water jacket hole gasket so i change the thermostat, water pump, cleaned all rubber hoses and i even clean out the reservoir which had alot of gunk in it. so why isnt my upper radiator hose getting any coolant flow to the radiator

I got a kia rio and all the inside lights don't work. What do you think the problem is? I am gonna try to change the light bulbs. And someone took the middle back break light too behind back seats. its pitch black at night inside the car which is kinda trolling me a little bit. I need to count down 3 to know its in drive or something like that.

I know this is old, but I’m hoping you will answer this. My 1989 Jeep I left running to charge the battery because I don’t drive it than much. It ran for about 35 mins. When I turned it off. It made a weird sound for a few seconds then steam came pour from under the hood and under the car, the pavement was drenched. I opened the hood when the car stopped steaming so bad and everything under the hood was wet!! Idk if it was coolant, but as far as I can tell there was more water/coolant on the passenger side under the car. But idk for sure because liquid was everywhere!! I mean the steam was really really bad! It doesn’t have AC as it is an old car and it wasn’t made w one. What should I do next? Put water in the radiator and run it to see if I can see where the leak is coming from? I know I’m female, but I’m really handy w cats and have replaced starters, fixed AC fans, thermostats, etc. So I’m not a total novice. I’ve just never seen a car overheat and seen this much liquid coke out. Also, while it was running, it didn’t steam. It didn’t steam until after I turned it off and it made a sound and it steamed so bad it looked like it was on fire 🔥 Really Bad! 😝 I did jump in and look and see that the thermostat gauge was running hot. Do you have any ideas of what I can do next? Thank you & God bless!!

I SWEAR I THINK I'M A MECHANIC NOW AND AFTER 1 VIDEO

An your radiator may be blocked up too if improper coolant or water goes inside

When I was driving home from work I smelled antifreeze and when I got home I was hearing bubbling sound so when I took the radiator cap off the radiator was empty and had brown sludge inside the radiator and on the cap and my reservoir was full also had brown sludge and I poured more antifreeze in the radiator but it didn't seem like it was filling up so I now I have a leak but idk if it's the water pump or a bad hose or if it's clogged up or if it's a bad cap

My radiator has been a constant and consistent game of whack a mole over the past 8 days does anybody have any solutions to fixing this problem?? It’s become a huge Nuisance

I have an 04 grand marquis and I can’t find my radiator cap.

or a belt issue that controls the fan to keep the engine from over heating.

I have a 2006 Honda element ,shouldn’t the bottom radiator hose be cooler than the top radiator hose the radiator is cooling off the coolant from the fans,The bottom hose on my car is quite cool compared to the top Hose,Should this be OK what do you think

OK i have 2 fans they both seem to operate from doing basic tests . Ac on right side fan comes on . Turn heating down (ac off) to lowest fan then comes on .. I have a coolant not returning to radiator issue ??? Thanks

I went to repair shop to fix my timing chain. After they fix it, i got overheating issues. Its so bad. They said my fan not working, b4 i went to that shop theres no issue about overheating. 😢😢😢

I have a 1999 explore and have a Lea under the air conditioner what or were could it be

👍👍

Do u know y cars have loud obvious alarms about stupid seat belt , AND LITERALLY NOTHING WHEN MOTER IS OVER HEATING ?

My 2011 Chrysler 200 was overheating, and or constantly getting air in the system. It turned out. It was my heater core. It was bad, but it wasn’t leaking until It got really broken. That’s when it started leaking by my feet.

Hi brother can u help me My car Toyota Camry 2005 My car what happened Overheating But I change already water pump and thermostat and cap and temp sensor done But my car not working overheating can u help me anyway

This video is shot from such a low perspective at the beginning, it feels like I'm a kid helping my dad but with less screaming

Pinched overflow tank hose

Hello I have a 05 Toyota 4Runner and for some reason only in a drive thru line at in n out for about 30 min. my car begins to heat up then after I place in park and turn on the heater it goes down right away. Do you know what could be the culprit? It has coolant

Where can I get that diagram you show?

Don't have a radiator inlet

I'm fighting with my wife's 2009 Ford Escape. So far I've replaced the thermostat and the temp sensor and it's still overheating. I've noticed a leak on the driver's side by the heads, but can't really pinpoint it. There's what looks like a "hole" on the side of the block and that's where it's leaking from, but I don't know what the hole is. Any tips? When I replaced the thermostat, apparently I didn't purge the system like I should've. So I drained it and purged it and it somewhat helped, but now it's back to overheating and no heat in the cab!!! UGH!!! HELP!! ANYBODY?

JAMING OF RADIATOR FAN,LESS COOLANTS LEVEL,HIGH AND FORCED ACCELERATION, CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING

What if I turn the car off. It cools down, and I come back 40 min later and the fan is still running , then battery dead

Still the coolant is boiling

What's wrong when your coolant run out

Took my 2006 g35 to a mechanic to replace the starter and now the car is immobilized and neither of my key fobs work at all. Can’t get ignition to even turn. Please help anybody

I have a 19 Camry with 83k miles. I know there is definitely a leak

Head gasket is a common failure for overheating 🥵

I have a problem. I chance my thermostat, my temperature control sensor, my water pump, and just this past weekend my radiator. My fans works fine. And my vehicle still overheats at stop lights and drive thru. What could be the problem? I'm just over it..😔🤦🏾‍♀️

Probably just a loose starter wire

Its not a 10 dollar part
