I need a daigram of the hoses for the cooling system for a 2001 intrepid

Technically speaking, the cooling system uses a 50-50 mix of coolant and water. You can buy coolant already mixed, or full strength.
There are hydrometers that you can buy to test the condition of the coolant. I would suggest draining the radiator and refilling with full strength, then test it. You would still have some water in the block and heater core to mix with the new coolant.

I would not know without looking at it in person.
A mechanic would use a pressure tester to pressurize the cooling system then check for leaks.

Premixed antifreeze is fine to add as long as the label says for all makes/models. If the coolant level is full, then the problem might be the "blend door" or the actuators that operate them. Since servicing the blend doors or actuators require a better than average knowledge of auto mechanics, I would refer this to a shop that you trust. If the car has a temp gauge and it is reading normal, I doubt the thermostat is bad. You might possibly have a plugged heater core. Not common for a car this new, but...You can look for the two water hoses that attach at the firewall next to each other. Just disconnect them and using the garden hose and low pressure, flush the core in both directions. If you get good flow then the most likely problem is the blend door(s) or actuators.

you need to find where the leak is , do not drive it.

Turn off the engine as soon as you suspect a leak, to prevent the engine from overheating.

2 Determine which radiator hose is leaking and exactly where the leak is coming from by looking for wetness.

3 Purchase 1 gallon of antifreeze and the correct replacement radiator hose from your local auto-parts store or dealer. (Radiator hoses are not interchangeable. They come in specific sizes and shapes for your particular car model.)

4 Wait for the engine to cool down for at least 20 minutes, before beginning any work on the cooling system.

5 Place a large pan or wide bucket on the ground under the hose to catch the coolant.

6 Use a screwdriver to loosen the hose clamps at both ends of the hose you are replacing.

7 Remove the radiator hose by twisting and pulling where it connects to the radiator and engine. If the hose won't budge, use a utility knife to cut it off the fittings.

8 Remove the hose clamps from the old radiator hose and slide them onto the new hose.

9 Put the new radiator hose on. Spray the inside of the hose ends with WD-40 if the hose is hard to get on. Tighten the hose clamps.

10 Refill the radiator and the coolant reservoir with a 50-50 mixture of water and antifreeze.

11 "Burp the cooling system" by running the engine with the radiator cap off until the engine warms up. Keep the engine running until both the upper and lower radiator hoses feel warm (this indicates that the thermostat is open and the coolant is flowing through the entire system). Burping the cooling system allows any air bubbles to escape. Add coolant to the radiator as needed.

12 Look for leaks. Inspect around the hose clamps for dampness. Tighten the hose clamps if there is any wetness.

13 Put the radiator cap back on.

14 Check the coolant level after driving, to ensure there are no leaks

Follow top radiator hose to motor. Thermostat is under housing that rad hose is clamped to. Drain antifreeze from rad after it has cooled down. There should be a drain **** on rad bottom. Using proper size socjket and ratchet, take out the bolts holdng housing then remove thermostat. Put new thermostat in same way as old one, put on a new gasket and replace housing. Be careful not to overtighten housing bolts. Refill with new antifreeze.

Well Shelly the antifreeze is exiting the cooling system through a leak somewhere. Pouring more antifreeze in is not going to fix the leak. Often the leak is external to the engine and you can see a big puddle form on the ground where the car sits, common examples are burst hoses, leaking radiator, and a leaking heater core can create a wet mess on the passenger side floor. Other leaks such as bad gaskets and cracks in the head and block can cause the antifreeze to leak into the cylinders and lubrication system. First you must find out where the antifreeze is being lost, then figure out if the repair is worth it.

first, remember that any leak will run down...There is nothing near your muffler that contains antifreeze, therefore, what ever is leaking has been blown back there while driving. Open up the hood and look to see where leak is originating. check all hoses, hose connections, radiator, rug under heater in the cab and everything associated with cooling system. You will see antifreeze coming out somewhere. Once you locate the leak, I can help you deal with it. Do not open the radiator when engine is hot! Do not drive with low coolant condition! This is not a solution...yet...I'ts the beginning of one!

If you've already tested the stat by placing it in very hot water to verify that it does open ,then it might be that the high pressure reservoir cap leaks. With the engine cold, check the under side of the cap for cracks in its gasket . My 3.5L had a frozen stat and a leaking cap at the same time however the cap problem wasn't evident until I replaced the stat. By the way - It's always a good idea to test new thermostats before installing them . I had to learn that the hard way.

2001 most chrysler products switched to GO5 antifreeze. DEX cool will not work and should not be mixed. Check in your owners it will tell you. Or they make antifreeze now called all makes all models by prestone that will work. Please rate
