Kinda worried about my teg. I gave her a coolant excchange today and now she seems to be steaming every time I drive her and I let her cool down check the level and it almost seems like no coolant is even gone at all. I dont want anything bad to happen to my car so any advice or ideas as to what it is are appriciated

 

is it running hot? you did mix the antifreeze right?

 

Spillage when filling maybe. 94

 

Most techs do not clean the antifreeze that spills when installing/removing the flushing couplers. Even then if they do rinse with water, they don't drive it long enough to get all the water off the normally hot components.

Last things a customer wants after coolant service, the smell of burning antifreeze, steam from under the hood, or a leak from the hose that was disconnected for service.

 

Thank you everyone. Yes I did mix it. And no spill I am always very careful of that I feel like this radiator maybe in its final days so Im going to replace all associated parts such as water pump, radiator, hoses, thermostat, ect... Its just so damn confusing...

 

Have you isolated where the steam is coming from? From the engine? radiator? Higher hoses? Lower hoses?

 

Haven't had a chance to actually get down there and check but it appears to be the lower hose. Any one know if a DC2 radiator can be used for a DA9

 

Figured out the lower seal was broken
