Coolant light e463/19/2024 ![]() Then I read here about the WP failing all the time, so went in and did just that. I replaced just therm when I got car-my shop did that. Mine went to 195K or so.many leak before.most after 150K it seems, so you're in that territory.Īnd, with regards the overhaul.this is why so many recommend them.why I started recommending them. HTH.good luck.and don't mess around with this.find your leak.then you can decide how likely it is to go suddenly catastrophic.and if you ever overheat, in case you didn't know.pull over right away, even on the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge and stop the car.get towed.or spend $thousands later.just saying!Īssuming you put everything together properly.and I'm sure you did, then if not upper hose, and if not ET (a relatively safe assumption given it's newish), then you should start by replacing the cap.think you were going to do this.and if not that.then probably the radiator aning the radiator. Check bleeder screw also.they crack all the time.Īnd, on tightening the ET cap.not tight at all. If it's upper hose.maybe a $30 part or so. Treat it like a plumbing fitting.everything needs to be clean, make sure the upper hose has both the o-ring and the spacer in it, use coolant as lubricant, and try again. If you replaced ET but not the upper hose, the o-ring/fitting might just not be mated properly. If it's at the upper point of its travel, you could add more coolant and it wouldn't rise anymore.which is why I play it safe here and tell everyone to fill it so the two balls straddle the top of the filler neck. The difference between the balls in maybe a cup or so.not much more.and if the bobber is all the way up, the key with that is that it 'just' is all the way up. Could be just the cap or it could be, since you're filling up to the proper level.that you yet are overfilling.just be careful. You get the coolant at a dealer for about the same price you'd pay online with shipping.and I won't lecture you.do that enough!Ĭlean things up first, check often.
