    I'm very sorry for that. I have a 1992 Lincoln town car two days ago i was driving and it started to overheat. It has never happen before i had the A/C on the maybe 30mins later i started smelling radiator fluid threw the vent when I stopped the car it was coming from the reservoir tank the top had popped off. i was told to chage out the tank awhile ago but it slipped my mind. I coulnt put the top back because the metal part you put the top on had broken off the tank do you think thats the reason my car overheated?

  • Joel Friedenberg May 15, 2014

    Can't find the exact replacement tank, although I did find tanks on e bay which may fit. Sorry!, But if your original tank is not broken,or cracked, why not use it with a new cap? Sorry I couldn't help more. Good luck....

Cooling fan stays at one slow speed as engine heats up fans never kick up speed to cool engine causing overheating I was told there was a relay under dash but I can't find it on this 1999 lexus es300

  1. Remove front bumper and grill assembly.
  2. Remove 1 support bolt near front of reservoir.
  3. Remove 2 reservoir mounting bolts.
  4. Remove reservoir from vehicle to gain access to vacuum hose. Disconnect vacuum hose from reservoir fitting at rear of reservoir.
  5. Disconnect electrical connector at relay.
  6. Remove 2 relay mounting bolts and remove relay.

Car overheating

You may have a blown engine head gasket. Check your oil to see if it is milky because water is getting into the oil, and check the water to see if oil is getting into the coolant.
If you have either of these, you may need to have a new head gasket for the engine, and hopefully you do not have a cracked engine head.
This will require a fair bit of work to fix correctly. Your local garage or mechanic may be your next call.
There are some products you can use in the coolant for either of these, but it is only a temporary fix.

Ok ..continuing to have a overheating prob. w/a 2005 Lincoln LSV8...refilled the coolant tank (used mostly water) started her up and let it idle for 15-20 min. it did lose coolant from some where under the...

First there is but one water pump, next did you bleed the air out of the cooling system as directed in the factory manual? If you did then the engine may have a leaking head gasket. Water pump picture below. You may also have a leak in the recovery tank, but that would not cause the overheating unless you let it run dray. This engine is very easy to damage if overheated, think you should let an expert look at this problem.

It could be the tanks are letting loose. It has plastic tanks with an aluminum core, right? The tanks eventually lose their seal and you will start to lose coolant through small voids, which can eventually become big voids. You can remove the radiator and take it to a radiator shop to have it bench flow-tested. But i don't know of any radiator leak causing a service light to come on. Those are factory pre-set to make you come in for sceduled maintenance.

Hope this helps,
matt

Hi!
Sounds like your Heater Matrix/Core is weeping, the brown stuff is possibly a leak sealer which someone before used to stop it.
You could try some more? remember to bleed the coolant as an air lock is possibly causing your overheating.
Park on level, when cold remove cap, start leave to idle when hot it should bubble over, top up with very warm water, wait it may do it again.
When happy pop in your leak sealer and hopefully your sorted.
Good luck! and please remember to rate my effort.
