Very likely that one of your radiator fans is faulty. Confirm the two fans are working while the AC is on.
Single cell one fan

Have you notice any trace of coolant leakage between the cylinder head and engine block?

Just carefully find the point of leakage and you will know the solution
Absolutely no trace of leakage. The coolant only disappears after using AC. Like I said earlier, the return pipe to the coolant reservoir then blows how air which evaporates the coolant. After driving with AC and I open the bonnet, the coolant reservoir is full but when you come back about an hour or two later, the coolant in the reservoir has vanished while the radiator is full

Good evening Gazzuzz,

I once brought the issue of my coolant disappearing and after all checks, I noticed the following.

After driving without AC, the coolant remains the same week after week.

If I use the AC, the car starts overheating if I stay long in traffic, without much traffic the car doesn't overheat, but the coolant disappears. I noticed that the coolant will remain after driving but the return pipe into the reservoir will be blowing hot air which eventually causes the coolant to evaporate.

The vehicle is Toyota Corolla 2010 and the radiator is single cell.

How can this be fixed so that it continues working normally as before.

That engine just need to overheat once for it to fry in most cases, There was a design flaw with it. Hope the technician did not run your radiator fan direct and remove your thermostat, these only hide the problem until it gets worst. In the meantime, check if your thermostat is still there , check if the water pump is faulty , check if radiator is clogged/dirty, check radiator hose all the way to your heater core, upper and lower hose, could be blocked or torn, then your fan check if they come on and off automatic at optimal temperature, this would involve troubleshooting the electrical parts fuses, relay, switch coolant temperature sensor(s) etc.

All these checks are necessary to avoid a repeat of the issue once the overheating issue gets fixed.

I am more of an Honda person, dont have a toyota technician that I can recommend, but do try and find someone that can help do the head gasket fix , hopefully no warping around the head and if so, you woould need a machinist to help smooth them out . I pray this fix your issue, in worst cases just one overheating do total some of these engines.

Keep the house update,
Thanks bro. I took it to Mot...i and nothing came out of it, they didn't touch anything, just visual inspection and explanations which they didn't get and I'll never allow anyone to remove my thermostat.
As for the fan, it's still automatic, come up intermittently, but I noticed that the noise is now longer after running AC unlike before.
I think the radiator could be the culprit. First it was leaking when it came into the country and it was fixed early last year at First gate. There's no visible leakage since then. But I've swam many floods this season. Igboefon and New Road floods! Perhaps it's time to start from the known to the unknown. Could be there are clogs and air bubbles in the radiator.
I think I heard Gazzuz talk about pressure tests for the radiator and hose, not so sure. Anyway I'll try and work on it this week, probably at Gazzuz.
The car is actually a 1.8L I4 EFI

I suspect tht you have the below type of corolla 2.4liter engine? not as reliable as the 1.8liter version, confirm if you had an overheating issue sometime ago. If so you will also need to check if the head mating surfaces are warped.


Also do you use water or coolant, if water then also check if coolant passage in the block are corroded.
You're so spot on!
I had an overheating once, there was water in the radiator and yet... Tried to diagnose with a mechanic nearby to no avail and I just continued.....

Hello Gazzuz,
My car corolla 2010 coolant disappears every two to four days and there's no visible leakage. Recently I noticed a bubbling sound at the coolant reservoir. What could be the case and how can this be rectified.
I've checked the hoses ad radiator cap and can't seem to find any leaks

An unrelated question please. Is it true that I need to change the hubs of corolla 2010 before I can use rim16.
When I changed for camry from 15 to 16, I didn't change any hub.
The rim guy said the corolla rims are smaller. I think he just wants me to take the 15
I want to buy alloy rims 16,black design preferably.

Does it mean that is one jumia is fake. Bcus im shocked that the price is 117k
If you want to buy elepaq, just multiply the rating by. 5 or. 75 to get get accurate rating. Their ratings are exaggerated, but it's a nice gen in terms of fuel consumption and longevity if you're a careful user

My old generator elapaq 1.8Kva had the fuel tank in such away that fuel can never completely finish. I used to be annoyed how the raised the regulator inside the tank up. But now I understand that they were protecting my gen. I recall seeing some slimmy yellowish stuff in the tank, not knowing it was dirt. No wonder that gen never had issues after fuel finishes. I usually use it to sleep.
I still miss the gen. 5liters lasts from 10 to 12hrs depending on the load.
I went to ring it after it started shorting oil and that was the end of the gen, that's why I'm not an apostle of ringing engines, both car and generator.
Now I equally know that it's not good to run generator for long hours, else you short the life cycle of the generator

Honestly, if I see where to buy imported fuel, I will buy. The grade refined for naija is probably the poorest grade.
If u want to know, check tokunbo fuel pump container and filter (probably used for 10yrs abroad), it is cleaner than brand new that was bought and used in Nigeria for 6months.
The fuel you buy is also imported. Nigeria does not refine, just that since SON has refused to do their job, all manner of pms are imported with very low octane rating, no wonder you can never get the correct mpg here.
On another note, you allow your tank to enter reserve often?
