Help diagnosing cooling system problem
Car: 2002 RSX base 110,xxx miles
Symtoms 1.heater gets cold at stop lights (intermitent) 2. upper radiator hose sucked flat -Coolant level is normal -temp gauge is in normal spot (not hot or cold) -car runs at normal operating temp, temp does not fall on when on the highway I think it might be the thermostat but i want some other feedback from you guys. |
Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
thanks for all the help everybody. Dealer says its the radiator. I'm not confident in their diagnosis

Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
Radiator? Really? Did they say why they presume Radiator?

Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
im assuming air bubble

Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
radiator has pin hole leak, but that still does not explain why the heater gets cold when I'm not moving. The fluid level is normal and full.
Is there any vacuum lines controlling the heater under the dash. A vacuum line that switches the air from hot to cold? |

Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
as for the hose sucking down, I've seen many radiator caps do this. GL

Re: Help diagnosing cooling system problem
Rad hose sucking flat is definately a sign of a faulty rad cap.
