So for real this is not a SNL skit without a punchline?? 😆 Luv this guy!… Great information on solving the issue... And when he speaks, you are going to listen!😅
Good vid, when I try to top up my coolant it just keeps going down no matter how much I put in, with no obvious leaks, cylinder head gasket issue or worse I think
Very good explanation, this is what I anted to know. A question does E70 voltronic can fix the problem ? because my oil is still clear and there is on big pressure in the radiator hose>
Hi Thank you . Very helpful. If a car is leaking coolant from top of cylinder head near the cam sensor , rocker cover area , can we say this car has a cracked cylinder head? Thank you 🙏
Hello I have suzuki aerio that have blow gasket, coolant enter cylinder #4, change the gasket 4 year ago, and just a few weeks ago same problem happens again, coolant enter cylinder #4. So I did the head gasket change again. Inspection on the gaskets (use suzuki original head gasket) the black material in the head gasket is chew up, exposing silver metal of the gasket. I use Prestone green coolant, some said it contain 2EHA rusk inhibitor that can attack black coating on the head gasket and eventually make it leak. What do you thinks about coolant that attack head gasket ? Thanks in advance
I got brand new car and until now i add about 9 letters of water.. it runs only 1000 km.. could it be issue in this gasket,? No signs of water in oil or smoke
Peter Finn. My Yaris Verso 1.3 2001 heats up when driving. Red warning light is flashing. Radiator was leaking so we change it to new. We also changed the thermostat and the water pump. A repairman flushed the cooling system. Do you know why it is still heating up? Could it be a headgasket?
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Yes I must look that too, thanks. Is it on the cylinder head, do you know? But if OBD scan tool too says high temp readings, is it still the temp sensor?
Hi i have skoda octavia 2 tdi and my car at cold start is fuming white smokes for 10 sec. and than fuming stops.Coolant liquid is in normal level and dont dissapeared so it can be gasket problem or something different?
The best thing you can do is check for warpage in the cylinder head and get it rectified, the sealing thing can help but you gotta be really carefull with that, Just place it in the outer most part of the gasket, it can't be close of the high presurized cylinders, also a good plactice is place the head over the sealing and wait for an hour before tightening the bolts. Good Luck
@@stakeHolderMyAss Thank you but not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I was actually asking about the liquid gasket sealer that your simply pour into the coolant and it seals the gasket from the inside. Does anybody have experience using it?
@@jonhsmith2706 NO! I just had to learn the hard way and I paid for it. NEVER pour any sealant into the coolant because it can clog up the water flow and give U higher water temps.
@@rays-777 Thanks I have a 1990 caprice 305 tbi and when I take the number one spark plug out water poured out so now when I bump the starter a little water jumps shoots how I just literally installed the intake gasket I torqued the bolts downs trying to figure out why water comes out spark plug hole
I have coolant leaking into my engine block/6th cylinder. I was given about 4-6 months left on my car. I only drive from A-B and it’s about a year now that I have been driving it with no overheating or anything. I need to make a decision on an engine swap because I don’t want to put any more money into it unless it will last. Thoughts anybody?
@Adam Ruley. Coolant was leaking into the Jeeps cylinder tubes #4 and #6 for maybe a year, corrupting them, unbeknownst to me, as Jiffy Lube then later a northern New Jersey Jeep dealership also kept adding more coolant, but never wondering Why? Even tho I told the dealer the car would shake in neutral and had very poor acceleration performance, that is, if you could get it started! Then after the 2nd visit to this Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram place (this time they had my Jeep for 15 days and still the red service light would appear upon starting) finally the lady service advisor told me, "It's OK to drive it as long as the red light doesn't blink - say what? Long story short, after spending a lot of money on summer car rentals (even the Chevy Spark cost $120.00 a day) I finally found a repair shop who actually diagnosed the problem. But by then a minor Head Gasket replacement had turned into major surgery on both those two cylinder heads and tubes. The whole process was VERY Expensive and Stressful! And unnecessary as Jiffy should have told me there must be a coolant leak and the Jeep's Techs and Service Advisor desperately need to go back to school, or better yet, change careers as all pertinent information was logged in online each time I had made an appointment! Anyway my 2012 Liberty and I are doing just fine now 10 months later and someone noted that the Jeep's oil and transmission pans' are beginning to rust so that's next on the bucket list! Here's Hoping That doesn't become an ordeal too!
The reason ,to much coolant,wrong coolant, not used destiled water, to much preshure and heat, wrong oil wrong fuel, coolant electrolisys, low quality engine part's, back curent Ore back charging electric devices,some engines are multi grade fuel runing engines who can behave like disel engines after all ethilen glicol burn in centrain ways tipical lean ore rich burning engine situation after all the original otto engine worked on hydrogen and buthanol so it is basicaly chemical preshure diference compresion ignition engine not ignition systems were used at that time the the Very first disel engine use mechanical carburetors with pre mix fuel chamber they were also internal and external burning engines ore bouth and they hade multipel fiering sequence like waste spark dobel the power basicaly they use combination of bouth 2 and 4 stroke engine working principel at the same time . All what this is about cooling system it is closely related to pre ignition and coold diseling effects.In worst case you cant shut off engine if you turn the ignition off! Thats the oldschool way of teaching.As fuel any thing that burns can by used In engine Some peopel may see what peopel used in military aplications in ww2 like methanol water and those engines at that time and beyond older are considered as hybrid engines. Perfect exampel chevy 250 ,opel sohc ,suzuki samuray those are clearly marked as disel/gasoline engine block with addition of mentioned above posibilitys they are unique in mechanical problems by the way gasoline is used only for engine start up and to run engine on idel speed after that own hot engine lubrication oil takes ower the job of acelerating engine from idel to max. Speed !!!! So evry thing ells in schools is miss represented ore miss understude.Perfect exampel is my sohc opel car it works with out gasoline it can work perfectly fine basicaly in right conditiond it can do low speed pre ignition and that cind of engine is not normal behavior thats what will hapen if the cooling system fails in worst case but in controled conditions you end up with a high efficient engine with masive power if the gaskets can with stand that preshure .any way take Chlorine+Calcium+Brake Fluid and you end up with self ignition fuel based on time. So its not so simpel finding the cause of cooling system failure lot things are involved.Any way first otto engine used dual fueling effects ore multipel fuel types to get centrain effects. Perfect exampels are the kubelwagen ore lenz buldog tractor gasoline/disel engine with forward and back ward turning engine. So perhaps peopel get the idea what is hapening with those engines. This guy is good mechanic this is adition to hes explanation he knows about this but this mechanical problem acures rarely I recomend hes chanel
Wrong coolant is what it is for me guy working on my car put 1gal of 50/50 ready to go no water mix and ended up putting tap water to fill the rest of the 2gal
Relax. Now you can vent out on me instead as I felt the need to watch it again. Not only do I now fully understand it. I also got the last part where he's saying if gasket 'material' is thin, that that is the other reason besides engine overhearing. Only wish my mechanic who begins work tomorrow on my Jeep's same problem could have explained as well this gentleman did.
Finally, a video that explains the problem and gets to the point. 👍
Thank You!
Glad it helped!

Thank you for taking the time to explain why and how this happens. I appreciate it!
My pleasure!
Very good explanations. Clear and easy to understand.
Brother love from Pakistan.
Thanks a lot I solved my problem because of your video.
God bless you
You are exactly talking the same thing that my car is facing now. Thanks so much.

What ended up being the problem ?
Very educational video Peter!
Great !
Very clear explanation. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Kitos! By the way you can say: the metal is warped, but propeller effect explained fine to me! ;)
Thanks 😃👍

Thank you 🙏
Maybe only cylinder gasket
I didn't know countdracula from "sesame street "was a mechanic,two coolant's leak ahh ahh ahh! Three coolant leak ahh ahh ahh!!
👍
Thank you, great info. You are a good mechanic
I appreciate that!
Good job I like
Noted 👍😀
Thanks I liked your video. I understand you English well.
Thank you too!
Thank you Dracula, very cool.
Thanks for comment my Friend. 👍😀

Hi and Thanks fo rcomment. 👍
Thank you! Now I may know the problem. But I still wonder if this is dangerous for the system or if I just can change this gasket and continue?
Good comment
So in the case of the Toyota corolla, would cylinder 3 push all of the pressure into number 4 causing a loss of compression in two cylinders?
Yes
I got brand new car and until now i add about 9 letters of water.. it runs only 1000 km.. could it be issue in this gasket,? No signs of water in oil or smoke
very practical video, thank you ...
Nice to hear. :-)
Peter Finn. My Yaris Verso 1.3 2001 heats up when driving. Red warning light is flashing.
Radiator was leaking so we change it to new. We also changed the thermostat and the water pump. A repairman flushed the cooling system.
Do you know why it is still heating up? Could it be a headgasket?
Is it possible that the radiator is bad? Wrongly made? It was cheap radiator bought from parts shop in internet.
Temp sensor could be bad ?
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Yes I must look that too, thanks. Is it on the cylinder head, do you know? But if OBD scan tool too says high temp readings, is it still the temp sensor?
Please replace sensor
That gasket looked ok. What your saying is it can twist?
No. Only fits one way.
So Peter, the area around the cylinder walls, the one you said Coolant leak, is there supposed to coolant there or oil? Or empty?
Coolant
Thank uuuuuuu is there anyway I can connect u am real fed up checking for leak in my Peugeot 206
Hi and Thanks for comment. 😃👍
thanks buddy
You're welcome!
i definitely have a coolant leak but no rupture no hole or crack so he basically just covered that for me
Noted 👍
Top man!!!
Hi i have skoda octavia 2 tdi and my car at cold start is fuming white smokes for 10 sec. and than fuming stops.Coolant liquid is in normal level and dont dissapeared so it can be gasket problem or something different?

Do I need a coolant spacer? /coolant jacket
No
What if I pour Head Gasket Sealant in the coolant do those work well?

If coolant is in cylinder 2 its bc of this right
