He told me about 1200 to fix. Took it to the Chevy dealer and they said the anti-freeze was low. No cracks, splits, loose clamps or anything obviously out of place. Can't afford at this time. Low coolant will cause air pockets, and that is the most likely cause of no heat in the car, as long as the engine temp. Good luck, in any case! Assuming you have the 3.
In may2013 coolant began leaking from radiator, replaced with new aftermarket radiator in June 2013. Because it goes away most the time I don't think is a dead mouse or something like that. My husband added coolant twice in two days. We have added several times, but gets low after driving a few weeks. State courts in Michigan and California already have rejected class action status for Dex-Cool lawsuits. I am trying to find out if this would be heater core? Called and told them it was back on, took it in again and they ordered the emissions part.
I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 3. If you find it inside the tail pipe, suspect a leaking head gasket. Checked code at auto parts store. Normal heating, defrosting and cooling. Thank you for your time. Of course I don't have as much experience with the new stuff but if we are talking about any real volume of coolant the options get narrower.
Temp gauge works in start test but does not show temperature. Had it checked at parts store. Changing out a belt is usually not so difficult. It was a pretty big job to replace those parts. Just checked alldata for 3.
To smell it you have to start the car and it is there. Diagnosed as oil pan needing replacement, no action taken. The engine temp gage never waivered from normal, no check engine lights, when I popped open the hood, radiator fluid was dripping slowly from the bottom of the coolant recovery tank. It is winter here about thirty six degrees and it overheated after driving in less than five minutes. If the system was low, including after replacing the thermostat, there is likely an air pocket that has to be bled out. When you first found coolant on the floor of the passenger compartment, that would have been coming from the heater core, or attached heater hoses, unless it was just water and not antifreeze. The last couple of days I thought I smelled antifreeze and I had to add about a pint of coolant to the reservoir.
Coolant can also be sucked into the cylinder while the engine is running. I suspected the water pump but looked pretty dry from what I could see. Hasn't overheated due to diligence in keeping fluid in overflow container. In my case, it was not the head gasket of any other expensive repair, but rather this. Nothing fixed it, so I gave up and sent it to my mechanic, he discovered three o-rings were deformed and damaged. I have never used them and cannot verify the accuracy. We have seen several of the 3.
If it's running really hot, find out why. The rear head is most common. Now the fun part - all my reading says 3 main parts are front runner for culprit - 1. However even statewide class action lawsuits have been running into trouble. I had it replaced a few weeks after I purchased the vehicle in June 2009, after my engine light came on.
I didn't put the cap back on in case it needed more water. Answer: Sounds like the oil pressure sending unit is leaking. I have a leak on the drivers side in the rear of the engine looks like on a hose between overflow and engine. I'ma single mom and broke so don't want to replace anything that doesn't truly need to be replaced. The oil is dripping off the bottom of my starter and a drip from above my starter.
This is exactly my thoughts. It used to be on. On the way to work, I lose almost all the water in the reservoir, on the way home I lose none. On my Corolla I need to add anywhere between a cup and and pint every 9-12 months or so. What can I do to repair this problem? It had gas mixed in it. Needing to add a pint may or may not be indicative of a leak, depending upon how long ago you last topped it up.
I have not had a 3. Bypassed it, but now my water pump is leaking like a sieve. So wet that you could push on the carpet and water would come to the top. . If it turns out to be water pump again, could I be faulted for serious considering attaching a bomb to the engine compartment and blowing it to the moon, leaving a crater big enough for a huge pool? I chose the easy way and poured into reservoir. My Olds with the Northstar engine was pretty bad but this one is super bad. We went low had no heat, added coolant.
