So as stated i was driving around yesterday and saw smoke coming out of my hood at a redlight only a little and as soon as i looked my thermo slowly increased to full i pulled over to see theheater hose was busted. So i got my car towed to the house and replaced it. Now my car will overheat after its warmed up and i drive around. I dont have any coolant leaks any ideas?

 

There is no hose from the head to the AC compressor.

 

If you replace any coolant hose on your car, make sure to purge the cooling system of air.

 

Tip: read the FAQ at the top of the forum

i replaced the heater hose right under the dizzy thats the one that busted. And now ever since my car overheats slowly if i start driving it once its warmed up. Dont have any leaks checked today.

 

appreciate the comments

 

Im going to try and bleed it now and see if that helps.

 

Air in the Coolant system can cause idle surging, as well as other issues. It's best to make sure you're system is fully bled of air pockets for it to function properly.

just read this and this is exactly what my car does! going to do this now

 

Did bleeding air fix it? (Hope it did...)

 

bout to start in a few when my bros up @24ten couldnt make it to get 2 jugs of coolant last night so just got them will let you know appreciate the help =]

 

can someone explain me to me the difference of these 2 articles please which one should i perform?

the first one is the one im currently thinking but i just found this one

1) http://www.hondacivicforum.com/forum...leeding-41650/

2)

 

just read up that " If you can't find the bleed bolt, your bleed bolt may be at the thermostat housing if it isn't at the front of the engine. 96-00 Civics and 96-97 del Sols don't have a bleed bolt and you simply idle the engine with the radiator cap off and let the air bubbles escape" i have a d16y3 from Europe from a 96-00 civic mb1 so should i just follow all the steps except with no drain plug?

 

update: as i started to get air out of the system when filling ym radiator with coolant i realized a new leak under the dizzy and tis leaking down my tranny cant exact pinpoint it atm any ideas? its not a hose it looks like its leaking from the motor idk

 

Simplest way to bleed is to just start the engine with the radiator open via the radiator cap (obviously don't open if hot). Then just watch until the air bubbles stop. Probably best on level ground or possibly with the car very slightly angled up so that the radiator neck is higher than the rest of the cooling system so that the air pockets will make their way up there.

As for your leak, you may have to remove a couple things to see more clearly but there's a couple of things that can leak there. You'll be able to see better than any of us. Can you wipe everything clean and then let the engine run again? Maybe you can trace it back after it gets wet again.

 

dope just figured out it was the heater hose i replaced dijdnt tighten the clamp enough boom done bleeded my **** of air now my car doesnt have any idle spurges either i feel great thanks guys.
