My radiator is still leaking somehow. Today my car was overheating on the way home from school . I don't know what's wrong with the radiator. It's nearly brand new. Tomorrow I'm going to buy antifreeze and drain it and start all over. Should I buy premixed antifreeze? And what should I do to properly fill my radiator with the fluid. Is there a certain procedure i should follow. If so please inform me. <U>Thanks</U>

 

if u have a/c..are u runnin your a/c while drivin?..that could also be the problem...i upgraded my radiator to a fluidyne because it always leaked. ...

fluidyne

 

viet..u ony have the prob cause ur a hybrid. king pen... from the looks of it.. you needs a new thermostat. good luck

 

where is it leaking from??? how much??? i would think that if it's overheating you've got a bad thermostat, but it could also be simply a bad radiator cap or a kinked hose....check the obvious, then if you have no pressure on your uppper hose, it's probably the thermostat

 

well when I do catch it leaking its leaking under the a/c. I dont use the a/c right now because Its cold, so i either crack the window or use the heater. Well i think im just going to buy a new cap and check the hoses. But if that fails then maybe a new thermostat. Can i DIY(m) the thermostat or is it too hard? When i refill my radiator with antifreeze what should I do. 50/50% and how do i use "clean water?" No water here is clean except bottled water.

 

Just got 50/50% antifreeze pre-mixed. Any suggestions in draining and putting in the new?
