SOURCE: Blew a hose

the only reason you would blown the pipe is because it sounds like your radiator is blocking up and this time round it has blown your hose i suggest you take the radiator aout of your car and give it a good flush with the hose and if this doesnt work. it means it probably has a small leak and i would put and egg in there i no that sounds stupid but it works trust me. as it will seal the radiator.

SOURCE: Coolant filling up overflow bottle

You may need to ask AAA to put a radiator pressure tester on the resevoir bottle and pump it up to operating pressure(Pressure cap rating) and see if it over pressurises while it is running at operating temp,rev engine up and down and watch what the testers pressure readings do,it should move up and down in sync with the water pump.If the pressure keeps building i would have to believe that combustion chamber gases are over pressurising your cooling system.Also test the pressure cap is functioning within factory specs.

SOURCE: Engine oil get less every two weeks in my pajero 4m40

Diesels do lose a little oil out the blow-by tube. If the engine temp. is higher then normal then you will lose more then normal amounts. If you are not leaking it then you are burning it, Possibly worn rings, head-gasket, or oil leak inside turbo. 68 MPH and higher doesn't sound unusual, is the engine still stock?

My toyota lucida 3C diesel is operating without a thermostat, can it cause over heating problems that i am getting?
no year car told nor miles on it. 1990 to 2019, no country told.
2.2L oil burner.
a Previa variant car. 1990 -1999 wiki said
"The Estima Emina and Estima Lucida were also available with a 2.2-liter diesel engine (3C-T and 3C-TE)" w/and ,w/o intercooler.
so you forgot to say full engine name is/was a Turbo and if is
that , does it only overheat on BOOST>?

there is no answer to that, should I questions (but yes)
many engine (means toss coin) STAT pulled cause turbulence to the pump and now the pump impeller messes up and flow decreases.
and if not the temperature runs way too cool 150f is common.hot idle.
180 to 200F is normal.(STAT in place) your auto part store will tell you.
now the list of overheat causes.

1: the cooling system is failing, (alarge list)
clogged radiator,
pump impeller blades rusted to nothing or 1/2 way.
some one forgot to burp the loop of all air. and RAD level cold is way way too low of AF , anti freeze coolant.

2: using water only and not 50% antifreeze,never just water.
3: fans dead rear oif RAD.
4: fan shroud lost. (other owners bad acts)
5: old cars with fan thermal clutch the clutch is bad.
6: fan belt slips at fan or pump. or both, (year car told)
7:old hoses (big) bad and collapsing inside. hidden.
8: side RAD overflow bottle missing or bad or hoses inside and outside missing so every day you run the engine coolant is lost to the ground,.
9: bad head gasket engine burns coolant or far worse engine cracks
10 head in engine cracked, or just warped.
I-4 engines have no valley gasket so it is not leaking V6/v8
11: and coolant lost to ground,front passenger foot wells
12: coolant lands in Oil pan ,oil looks like milk chocolate.
i'm sure missed, 5+ more points of leak failures. sure.

How do I fix my temperature gage is always high
Are you sure it's the sensor? Most times the sensor will just stop working, not run out of calibration. Is your engine diesel or gas? The first thing I would do is take off one of the radiator hoses and have someone turn the engine over. It should spray coolant everywhere. If not the water pump is weak, and should be replaced.

I have a 1986 Corvette Coupe. It overheated today when I sat through 5 or 6 lights or 20 minutes.. Smoke came out of the hood. The coolant overflow sprayed out radiator fluid I think. The temp went to 291....
Let it run for about 10-15 minutes after it cools down. After the 10-15 minutes (but don't let it overheat) squeeze the top hose to see it it's hard. If it is, it's probably the thermostat, and the coolant isn't flowing through the engine to the radiator. It's just staying in the engine and getting hot.

How to replace thermostat on ford f350 turbo diesel
The F-350 designation refers to a 1-ton Ford F-Series pickup truck. The thermostat in your diesel-powered Ford closes off the flow of coolant when the engine is cold, forcing the engine to heat up faster. When the coolant has reached a certain temperature, the thermostat opens up and the coolant flows as normal. A malfunctioning thermostat in your diesel may cause your engine to overheat if the thermostat gets stuck in the closed position. Installation of a new thermostat will cure the problem and get you back on the road
  • Open the hood. Allow the motor to cool off so that you will not be scalded by hot coolant. Locate the thermostat housing by tracing the upper radiator hose from the driver's side of the radiator to its termination at the thermostat housing.
  • 2 Remove the cap from the white plastic coolant bottle at the front of the engine bay. Place a drain pan under the radiator drain petcock on the lower side of the radiator on the driver's side of the truck. Remove the petcock by rotating it counterclockwise with a 19mm wrench. Replace the petcock and tighten it in a clockwise direction once the coolant has fully drained.
  • 3 Remove the clamps from both ends of the upper radiator hose with a pair of pliers. Pull the hose from the radiator and from the thermostat housing, using a twisting motion. Set the hose and clamps aside.
  • 4 Spray penetrating fluid on the three mounting bolts on the thermostat housing and let it soak in for a few minutes. Remove the three bolts with an 8mm wrench turned counterclockwise. Remove the thermostat housing from the water pump and set it and the bolts aside.
  • 5 Remove the thermostat housing from the water pump to reveal the thermostat. Carefully pry the thermostat up with a flat-blade



  • screwdriver if necessary. Clean the mating surfaces on the thermostat housing and at the water pump with a rag.
  • 6 Place a new thermostat into the water pump with the pointed end facing upward. Install a new O-ring gasket into the groove on the thermostat housing mating surface of the water pump. Position the thermostat housing back onto the water pump and tighten the three bolts with a torque wrench to 15 foot-lbs.
  • 7 Push the upper radiator hose back onto the radiator inlet and the thermostat housing until it is fully seated at both ends. Replace the hose clamps in their original position with a pair of pliers. Refill the coolant that you drained from the radiator back into the white plastic coolant tank and replace the cap. Start the engine and let it warm up. Check for leaks and retighten your connections if necessary

    Coolant loss, no puddles on ground, no steam from exhaust, engine runs fine, no water in oil, no split hoses heater working ok diesel turbo 130bhp
    Hi. You should replace your radiator cap. As soon as the temperature is high the pressure in the radiator is to much for the faulty cap and water is lost while the engine is running.It will not leak while switched off. Hope this will solve your problem.

    Hi ,
    Not easy this one,when your turbo failed the oil feed to the turbo bearings continued to feed engine oil into the intake side(could not turn off),the engine is then Un-governed and free to rev way above maximum limit,it has then massively over heated, the oil treatments are unlikely to cause this problem ,usually down to not letting the Turbo "wind down " after driving,The best course of action is to replace the engine and turbo charger and have the induction pipes and intercooler properly cleaned ,there are no cheap fixes for this you were just unlucky.
