HELP! My Toyota Camry '98 Radiator Shortens Water On Long Distance. by bjjbam: 10:13am On Jan 22, 2015 |
To d experts in the house. My Toyota camry's radiator shortens water whenever I travel long distance. Within town it works perfectly. Eventhough the temperature on d dash board doesn't rise above d normal range, I don't think this is normal. Pls I need ur advice. Thanks! |

I have replaced the gasket, but the problem persists. These road side mechanics advised that I remove the thermostat but knowing fully well what thermostat does in a car, I stood my ground dat I wouldn't. I don't know wot to do again. I thought of replacing d radiator but there was no leak anywhere. A friend later told me to get a double cell radiator. Pls wot shud I do? |

bjjbam:There is is a leak in ur cooling system ,u will need to go for cooling system leak test in a reputable mechanic outlet.This test will bring out any leak in a cooling system however small it might be. N.B:Word of advice :If u dont want ur engine to die a slow death ,dont ever remove ur thermostat or run ur fan direct . 1 Like |

bjjbam: Remove your thermostat (yeah I said it). Test your vehicle for a day or 2, if it does not overheat, get a new thermostat (follow instructions o!). It could also be your radiator, this is a pic of what was in a clients radiator when it was opened. The car in question only overheated on the highway at speeds above 100km/ph No leak, changed head gasket but problem persisted until I checked radiator.
