@@pierrerepair86 no . But it loses power going up hills ..I think it's the cat . I was worried cus I revved it in park and smoke came out of the muffler no code or check engine light tho but it might not pass smog the cat symbol flashed on my obd reader
My car didn’t have this issue until I turned my car on after 40 minutes, so does that mean I have a blown head gasket issue or I just need to buy some engine flush liquid to clean my engine?
The coolant will boil because operating temperature is between 195F and 215F. What prevents it from boiling is the pressure in the system. Do you find yourself adding coolant often?
@@pierrerepair86 basically the coolant escapes and I noticed that it pushed out the coolant return hose due to the pressure. Had it tested with gas leak colour additive and it was positive. Added sealant and gas leak test was negative but still get the boiling. Bottom pipe is still cold but the top of the bottom pipe is hot. Top pipe is hot as usual.
@seemaab if it’s tested negative, air in the system might cause the boiling. I would add coolant while the engine is cold and running. Remove the radiator cap/high pressure coolant reservoir cap, add coolant as the engine is slowly reaching operating temperature. The coolant will go down while the thermostat starts opening. If you have a cooling system bleeder, I would use it to bleed air as well. Hope this helps!! Subscribe if you haven’t already. Thank You!!!
Hello from Oamaru, Sth island New Zealand Question. Any possible causes to this misery?. 2012 Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel. Thanks in advance. Symptoms... A putrid white hazy foggy smoke comes out of exhaust after around a minute of idling after startup. Exhaust fumes don't smell sweet like coolant, it's very cutting to eye n terrible to breathe in. Engine has rough lumpy idle then cuts out. No fault codes. EGR valve and cooler fine. I possibly have coolant leak but there's no coolant loss. No coolant in my sump oil, and no oil radiator. No bubbling up in radiator. Cheers Carl
Hello Carl. Thank you for watching my videos. Subscribe if you haven't already. I think your engine may be burning engine oil upon startup. I would check the valve seals or even replace them.
Okay so please answer this . Mines doesn’t boil or anything. I put coolant in there and look under my car and see it leaking . Every time I add it leaks . But it doesn’t boil or bubble when I turn it on . What do I do ?? Don’t want to spend so much money
That really sucks cause most shops will try to get more out of you even if it’s just a leak from one of the hoses or pumps. Try and trace the leak back to the source and if it’s a cracked hose or a loose clamp that’s a super easy and cheap fix which is what it sounds like. I would still recommend spending money to go to a shop though cause there’s so much little bs that can happen from a small problem it’s best to get a professional opinion.
If temp gauge goes up and down, you have air pockets in cooling system. It could be some trapped air from not bleeding when filling up the coolant or exhaust gases going into cooling system. When the air or exhaust gas passes by the coolant temp sensor, it will cause a spike in temperature and causes your coolant gauge to read high
I was told to do this on a warm engine. But can you do it on a cold engine? When I do it on a warm engine, coolant vapors enter the block tester and may show a false positive.
You need to do it when the engine is cold. I don't know which kit you're using, it's better to follow their instructions. Your leak may be really small. Does it consume coolant?
Guys, i need to know something. It sounds like i have a hole in my exhaust, but when i checked there is no hole and the sound seems to be coming from the front of car (Engine Area) And there is foam in my radiator when my car is idling. However my engine oil is normal, my car drives fine. Do u guys think maybe it is Head gasket?
I would check the temperature sensor. It may be malfunctioning. Does this happen all the time or is it intermittent? The thermostat could also contribute to this. Please subscribe if you haven’t already.
Its cannot be like a cracked head? Its 100% a gasket? My car runs same and blowing the water out from reservior with a cold engine. Might be Just a gasket? Hopefully 😅
I understand your frustration, but bear in mind that they all have their fair share of problems. Chrysler may not be the first choice when it comes to quality engine components and functionality. Research top issues of a certain model before buying. Best of luck.

@@pierrerepair86I took cap off turned on engine and one bubble came up then coolant came up is it a blown head gasket
@@JoseGonzalez-ed4hq Does it overheat and lose coolant with normal driving?
@@pierrerepair86 no . But it loses power going up hills ..I think it's the cat . I was worried cus I revved it in park and smoke came out of the muffler no code or check engine light tho but it might not pass smog the cat symbol flashed on my obd reader
@@JoseGonzalez-ed4hq I see. White smoke is an indication of coolant burning in the combustion chamber. Pull the spark plugs to see if they're wet.
Will there be coolant overflow from coolant tank if the cap is not put properly?
Yes. When the cooling system is not under pressure when hot, the coolant might boil and overflow.
Hi i have a rounalt clio is overheating and is not mix oil and water and i change thermostat and waterpump
My car didn’t have this issue until I turned my car on after 40 minutes, so does that mean I have a blown head gasket issue or I just need to buy some engine flush liquid to clean my engine?
How about just pulling the oil dipstick out and checking it. If it looks like a milkshake then the head gasket is blown
If it looks like milkshake, you have coolant mixing with oil. It could be a bad head gasket, cracked head etc.
@@pierrerepair86that’s literally what he just said 😂😂😂
Not always will it be milky, sometimes it’ll overheat and burn the small coolant leak
Because that's not always the case
@@miz7850 not always a symptom
What if this only happens after the vehicle is at operating temp? See my coolant violently does this only at operating temp.

Hello from Oamaru, Sth island New Zealand
Question.
Any possible causes to this misery?.
2012 Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel.
Thanks in advance.
Symptoms...
A putrid white hazy foggy smoke comes out of exhaust after around a minute of idling after startup.
Exhaust fumes don't smell sweet like coolant, it's very cutting to eye n terrible to breathe in.
Engine has rough lumpy idle then cuts out.
No fault codes.
EGR valve and cooler fine.
I possibly have coolant leak but there's no coolant loss.
No coolant in my sump oil, and no oil radiator.
No bubbling up in radiator.
Cheers Carl

I think your engine may be burning engine oil upon startup. I would check the valve seals or even replace them.
@@pierrerepair86All good in oil dept. No history of burn. No gases or bubbling up in radiator.
Thanks for your response sir
@conmanumber1 you’re welcome! Another thought: bad timing & low injection pressures could cause that when the engine is cold. Thanks for subscribing.
Sometimes catalytic converter or 02 sensors can do this too
Sounds like it's flooding or if oil is being burned or leaking by the rings and burning in the exhaust
I have a 2013 dodge journey with the same engine and steam and boiling coolant were coming from my radiator cap while i was trying to bleed the system
Same exact thing happened to me it exploded on me luckily i was in the car when i started it
Is it fixed now?
I heard you say explosion in the combustion chamber. I know my boy Pierre knows it’s a flame front.

My car temperature gauge sometimes goes up and down automatically?
It could be an issue with your temperature sensor. I would try to read it with a scanner. Please subscribe if you haven't already.
@@haqiqiazaditv1 that happened to me your car isn’t overheating just replace the temperature sensor it’s like around $20 that’s what I paid

White smoke from exhaust when idling but not over heating, no visible coolant loss, no milky oil. Is that a blown head gasket ?
@@dessy0523 you're burning oil or too much fuel from a stuck open injector

It could be. It could also be a crack in the head.

Will my car start if the head gasket is blown??
@@munetsiraymond1210 yes
What if your car temperature is Normal then suddenly changes to cold and temperature gauge go's up What will be a problem?
I would check the temperature sensor. It may be malfunctioning. Does this happen all the time or is it intermittent? The thermostat could also contribute to this. Please subscribe if you haven’t already.
@@pierrerepair86 thanks for reply maybe is the thermostat I discover that the opening temperature is 88'c instead of 87
Usually there’s white smoking is a good indication
How good indication?
Only in severe cases
Thats a bad leak. Would probally try to add sealer to the bottom radiator hose.
I tried. It didn't work.
I mean if u hit the gas with no radiator on I would think this would happen
Combustion chamber pressure will do that too.
all correct
Its cannot be like a cracked head? Its 100% a gasket? My car runs same and blowing the water out from reservior with a cold engine. Might be Just a gasket? Hopefully 😅
It could be a cracked head, but this one was confirmed to be a bad gasket.
