everything was great that you did. In order to bleed the coolant lines, turn the car on, turn the A/C on full blast with the coolant cap twisted on halfway. The excess air (and some coolant) will escape out of the radiator caps. Once all the air is out of the lines the coolant will stop bubbling out of the radiator. At this time put your radiator cap back on and rinse off the excess coolant with a couple of water bottles.
Not.sure mechanic done it but fan was not coming on either so I missed with wires now my fan working drove it last night 10 miles or so didnt over heat or anything so just waiting see if was the fans or what
Hey, I’m in a jam here. My 2007 Nissan Altima is going crazy. About two days ago my engine light came on and I went to autozone and the code read that I needed a new radiator due to overheating. I went to my mechanic and was told my radiator is perfectly fine. After about 10 minutes of driving the car, the temp gage would shoot up to H and I now can not drive past 40mph. If I do try to accelerate, my car will start to jerk. I was told that that was a safety precaution for the engine not to blow. I got an oil change, replaced my thermostat, replaced my water pump, added coolant (my ac also stopped working) & the engine light came off. Woohoo buttt the temp gage is still going up as I drive. If my radiator is fine, my water pump and thermostat is brand new, what else could be the problem ?
YAAAAAAAA I heard Rose!!!!! You are so right about checking that antifreeze! you saw what happened to that Kia we were going to do head gaskets on...now it has a blown engine! Great advice for people Hector, HEY ROSE!!!
Rose says hi. We are going to be hearing her voice more. Yes, I call my friend an I mention to her your video. Winter is going to be a busy one for me.
Hello, my car wasn't over heating but the coolant was low. So i followed your video only question i have is while letting the run does the radiator cap need to be off while letting it run for 25 mins or can i put it back on?
If you put the radiator cap you can't open it because it is going to burn you. If you are sure that you fill it. My advice would be not to removed the radiator cap.
My bottom radiator hose came keeps coming off of my 2015 and i dont know why. The first time it happened i figured it was just loose so i bought a better clamp but used water because i couldnt afford the 22 bucks at the time. Could that be the reason it keeps popping off because its just water or is it a water pump issue? Maybe a thermostat issue. The fans work so i dont know why it keeps coming off. Can you please give me some advice. Also i noticed that the bottom hose that keeps coming off looks swollen at the end(that connects to the radiator). When i look up hoses online they all look flush, could i just need a new hose, or is it the wrong hose for the car? Because no matter how hard i try to slide the clamp on, It just keeps sliding off towards the skinny part of the hose which is not on the radiator pipe. Thats why i bought a different clamp and it worked for a while but than again it came off. Please help a brother out man and thanks for the videos.
Wtf no broski, dont listen to the non-mechanic he is obviously trolling...you need a new hose 😂 I've had the same issue with huge commercial dishwashers it's most definitely the hose that's always where I goto if I have a hose blow out and it hasn't failed me once sometimes weird things happen internally In those hoses
Either needs new hose or new radiator sometimes the outlet on the radiator breaks off and the hose won’t stay attached and even if you use water it’s ok because you have this thing in your engine called a temperature control sensor and whether you have h20 or coolant in it when it reaches the temp to activate the fans it’ll cool the fluid if look up ppl in the south run str8 h20 in their vehicles no worries about freezing and I am a real mechanic ijs
So they sale aftermarket coolant now at auto part stores last time I check you could only get the blue at the dealer so where you get the coolant thank you for the video
Just to throw my experience out…. I always see “naw, it’s this coolant…. This color coolant, etc etc”. The Asian blue peak is the correct kind. I drained mine (2010 coupe) and that’s the color. Maybe y’all got a different color, or brand cuz it can depend, but this stuff is good to go. Same factory stuff. Good luck y’all!!!
The water light was red in myb07 nissan versa. Its usually blue color, which is kool. I made a pretty far trip, on the way back, closed to back home..ive notice the water icon was red.. I'm guessing something getting overheated under the hood. Got home, and I checked the reservoir and I had a water anti-freeze in it still.. didn't check the radiator hole, cuz the car was still hot, what do you think the problem that red light was on??
Something is over heating. What I would do is wait to the car is cold. I would the radiator. the hoses, I would check around the fire wall, under car for leaks
@@NoneMechanic101 i just poured anti freeze into the radiator.. looked like it needed. The water icon turned blue..well ir was the next day. So i dnt see a leak.. is it normal for the radiator to be closed to empty?
@@NoneMechanic101 the cap is good.. u think theres a leak? Cuz after i pour it , nothing was leaking.. well this only happend after driving back from another county. Drove like 40mins. This never happened to me b4. I usually need to fill up the reservoir side.
My 2010 Nissan Altima was jerking when i was accelerating, and my ac stopped working. My temperature gauge was at H. I am scared of driving my car, can I put water in the mean time.
Bought a 07 nissan versa.. riding it with the AC on, then it released warm air, shut the AC, parked it n it shut off on me, some lil smoke came out, with the water icon on red. Got to start it back up, but i shut it off n towed it to the mech. Pour some liquid but it was leaking it at the bottom. It was a leaked hose. Mech fixed it. Took it to put gas. It struggled a lil bit to start. Took it back, now the problem is that the ignition coil was filled with oil. Changed all four coils, gaskets. Got it back. But it feels a lil strange when im driving it... it runs, but feels a lil strange. Is the hose problem connected to the coil problem?
@@NoneMechanic101 I guess.. u mean the VIN right? Well the guy changed the gasket four ignition coils n something else.. he speaks Spanish, which he said Bonbia..sounds like bulbs or something like that. Could the car be saved? Its running fine, AC running fine too, but it just feels a lil weird. Like if its not the same
What if my car is showing signs of overheating but I don't know what the problem is. My car was showing signs of turning off and I could smell like water being heated up.
Try to make sure you have no air in your system and the correct levels of course. You might not have the right water to coolant ratio if it’s been topped a bunch with distilled water too. Maybe run a flush before hand. It’s fairly easy to do even for beginners but make sure you follow directions per precisely or more damage can be done. Major damage! Change the pcv too while you’re at it. It’s so cheap and easy there’s no reason not too, but it’s far from necessity. Good luck bud. Reach out i suppose if you want opinions or so forth. Happy to help!
Why is my car starting smoke under the hood , radiator area , I can smell the radiation fluid But it’s not running hot nor any kind of warning lights and the radiator fluid appears to be staying full ?
@NoneMechanic101 I think it's the radiator as well at this point. I done paid 2 different "mechanics and not one has checked the radiator" they just keep say other things
When does the coolant fan turn on. It does once AC is running but seems to me everytime I check after half hour drive. It doesn't turn on. Heater is fine and hot. Temp is fine right at below the middle. Coolant is topped. Reservar is full to max level Once engine id off ,I check the heat on outtake hose from engine with thermo and shows about 170F!
The fans cycle on and off based on temperature. The a/c system is extra load on the engine being that it is driven by the belt when the clutch on the compressor is engaged. Therefore the fans hard start anytime the a/c compressor is engaged. However during normal operation with no a/c running the fans when only start if the temperature is hot enough. Some cars fans even have multiple speeds of operation
and some fans even have some power saving feature where they kick off, and this could also go faulty, also the fuses / relays / switches / connections could all go bad. I had a fan not kicking on like it should one time and simply changed a relay and it fixed it
Am dealing with some thing this morning changed out my thermostat yesterday mechanic did I drove it this morning it was running hot again needle was up and down when get home I'll check coolant on it and everything
Not sure mechanic done it but I run check yesterday fan was not coming on I moved some wires on it now fan is coming on also also bleed it like you done in the video drove it abount 10 miles last night it at started to.over high yet am drive it some more today see if.was the fans or what thanks video help out alot I well keep updated also
@@NoneMechanic101 how do bleed it just drove to the store 5 miles up the road and run hot fans working got coolant belt good new thermostat ....... mabe water pump or how do I check that
@@NoneMechanic101 I dont understand why one minutes it overheats then next time I drive it might night drove it over 10 to 15 miles at 80mph last night didn't over heat drive it 3 miles and it overheats today
WHY doesnt it have coolant? Dont just pour more coolant. Find WHY theres no coolant. Fill with only water WITHOUT splashing any on the engine, start it, and look to see where the coolant is leaking, fix, AND THEN fill with coolant.

How many minutes do you do that for? And do you keep the coolant reservoir cap off also?
What goes inside that black lid container?
The fan should be on when the car is running right??
You are right, it's the little things you have to watch for in our cars so it isn't big money later to fix the whole car.
On a 2015 Nissan Altima an engine can cost about 2,000 dollars
Good video that is one thing that seems to get overlooked until it's too late
I seeing a lot of cars this way. Over looking something simple as this can cost a new engine.

Hi there quick question, do you see the small hole on top of the coolant reservoir? It’s that normal ??
I didn't see it. Hole on a coolant reservoir isn't normal. The reservoir most be tight.

First I would remove the water, Water gets to hot and it can caused the hose to come of.

No Offense Bro But Radio Los Santos Brought Me Here🎶🎶💎💎💎💎
?
Are you supposed to flush out the old anti freeze?
In this situation we didn't have to. It just need it some coolant.
Just to throw my experience out…. I always see “naw, it’s this coolant…. This color coolant, etc etc”. The Asian blue peak is the correct kind. I drained mine (2010 coupe) and that’s the color. Maybe y’all got a different color, or brand cuz it can depend, but this stuff is good to go. Same factory stuff. Good luck y’all!!!

If it doesn’t have coolant it’s leaking or burning it because coolant doesn’t just evaporate
Thank you

My question would be: what cause the coolant level to be so low?
Was this due to a leak?
I didn't have a leak. The car didn't loose any coolant after this video. I didn't find out what happened to the coolant
If a vehicle is that empty it has to have a leak somewhere. It doesn't just evaporate.
We looked and looked. We didn't find no leak. It has been a few months but no leak yet.
I'm thinking the same thing. My 2014 had a slow leak in the holes on the side of the engine where rust had formed. But that's weird this had no leak.
Yeah, the coolant went some where! The problem isn't fixed!
What if my car is showing signs of overheating but I don't know what the problem is. My car was showing signs of turning off and I could smell like water being heated up.
I would check the water pump and for a blown head gasket

What’s the name of thing you pouring the antifreeze in
Radiator
The coolant reservoir
What happens if you overfill it?
It can over flow and fall in the engine and cause electric damage.
