This happened to me. An Altima 2006 2.5l

All warning lights on dash board came on and engine temperature rose to heaven

this caused coolant reservoir to start leaking too.

I burnt my while fingers trying to uncap radiator cover.

Thank God I fixed everything with just n1200

Yeah, that's right.

Your coolant reservoir is intact. What happenend to it was that the coolant had to look for a way to escape the built-up pressure as it wasn't being pumped into the engine.

The coolant escapes through the orifice (small hole) built around the reservoir to allow oxygen.

Educatively interesting ive never known d real cause just that d engine is oer heated too much.
can't forget dat old rickety rugged mazda of dad back in d 90's it'd wont stop to just oer heat at d slightest journey!! Ones i smelt boiled water nd when pot is totally dried frm boilin of water i'd alert dad..he'd say we wud get there first dnt worry...b4 u know it we see d smoke! Lmao

piagetskinner: nice one @OP. I have two questions that have been bothering me. My 2004 toyota camry always makes squeaky noise when I turn the steering,the car vibrates seriously when I put on the A/C,and when I put it off the vibration reduces by 70%...and just yesterday one of the fans stopped working and the temp rose to half on the temp scale....I drove it around town 4 an hour or so,and when I got home it took more than 2hours before it finally cooled...what solutions can u proffer?thanks

Your cars temp gauge should be at the half way mark maximum ten minutes after you start your car. If it is below that, ur engine is running cold and if it is way above that, then u r slightly in the over heat zone. Half way mark is normal for ur car and any other car i know of. Don't let the mechanics tell you otherwise. The squeaky noise you hear when u turn ur steering is your serpentine belt tensioner not doing its job. It is supposed to adjust to load put on the serpentine belt. It is essentially a shock absorber. Change it. The vibration u hear or feel when u put on your ac is as a result of weak engine mounts. Ask your mechanic to check ur engine mounts and replace the bad ones. However, it would be a good idea to do a tune up which often solves a lot of ur problems with regards to the vibration. Clean ur intake manifold, change ur spark plugs to the original recommended by ur car manufacturer. Use an electrical contact cleaner to clean ur air flow meter. you can also do the italian tune up to clear the carbon from ur pistons. U can google how to do that one. after these, ur vehicle should be back in tip top shape.

More so that might as well have increased the volume of coolant in the Engine of which the original pump and thermostat where not designed to cope with

That has no effect on it actually.

We've tested this before.

In fact on Austin Minis one of the trick is to install an auxiliary radiator in line to help with cooling on hot days. So you basically have two or three radiators.

The thermostat only open and closes base don the temperature that it senses. The water pump, except on electric ones, just pumps water continuously through the engine and heating elements such as the radiator (s) or heater core.

On the Toyota MR2, the same engine i sin the Toyota Camry and they use the same water pumps. The radiator in the Camry is maybe 1 foot from the pump while the setup in the MR2 places the engine in the back and the radiator all the way in the front maybe 10 feet?

Please I need a professional mechanic on Honda EOD.

My car has never done Overheating before,but suddenly on my way to Ibadan I experience overheating.

I have change the gadget,plugs,oil filter,service but the car refuse to Start.The two separate mechanics are clueless rightnow.

The ignition comes on but car won't start.I need a good specializes mechanic on EOD.

PLEASE LET ME HAVE THEIR CONTACTS.

Well sounds right,I give you that for what its worth same amount of fluid passes through irrespective of the total volume.

Please does anyone know a good mechanics on EOD
