Car Talk / Re: Mechanic Roundtable by martyns200(m): 7:49am On Aug 17, 2020
Good morning, I jus changed my radiator from single to a new double cell due to leakage from the single cell radiator.
Thermostat is still intact and single fan inclusive(not connected directly) After driving the car on Saturday, Sunday morning I checked the water level in the radiator and saw the water is low, so I opened the coolant plastic and saw that the water there has overfilled more than the FULL level its meant to attain, which means that the excess of the water in the coolant plastic is meant to go back into the radiator when engine is cool and it didn't. Does that mean the car would likely overheat. Would love to hear your advise pls....When I called the mech, he said I would need to remove thermostat and connect far directly which am against.The car is a year old and it's a corolla 05 model..would love your inputs so as to take necessary precaution against the unforseen.

You need to check the cabin filter,and also loose out the blower some particles are trapped internally.

Thanks a lot sir, it was the cabin air filter that got torn in the middle ,so had to get a new one and the ac works perfectly again with no sound. Really appreciate

Good morning, I noticed something on my car ac last week in the afternoon , I entered the car and switch on the control to 4 cos d car was hot due to the sun. And next thing I heard was as if a paper was stuck in the fan and making a slight noise. I later reduced to 1 and 2 but d noise reduced and was continuous. I switch off the AC and drove some few mins, I switch it on to 2 and I heard no noise. Ever since then I put the ac switch on to 2. Yesterday I mistakenly switch it on to 4 after entering the car and the noise came on again, after reducing to 1 and 2 still it persisted but noise was low and one cld hear it. What can be the cause, it's an 05 corolla and wld b a year by July, haven't done anything on the ac since it came. D noise which seems as it d fan is blowing a paper nearby seems to be coming from d dashboard area. Sir What can be done if I may ask?

If you want to switch. Just make sure is full synthetic...

The aburo in Nigeria... After putting.. It in the gallon they will now seal for sale.
