Hello Nairaland, please I need your guide, last time after driving I noticed a sound exactly like boiling water on the stove boiling, I opened the bonnet the sound became louder, the sound came from coolant area.

Please what could cause this and what should I do immediately?

providencia:


And you didn't notice difference in car temperature gauge ? Your car is over heating. The radiator might be dirty, clog or the fan isn't working. It may be something else entirely. Take it to mechanic immediately. Its not advisable to drive a car that is overheating. If you must drive never you use the ac.

damaray:


OMG! The problem is getting a good mechanic that can handle it perfectly in Ibadan.

Cokahot:
Those r the possible cause, if there is leakage,then be ready to spend . BTW n ember time,so price na double double,na double double. U sef 4 for quick diagnose am. Na why brainbox dey thr,to scan nd detect

damaray:


I see person diagnose advert here on Nairaland, shey make I still diagnose am or find mechanic?

Cokahot:
Tomorrow open your bonet before u start the car,check all the hoses,shake the ones u can and see if there is any crack or hose has expired or its leaking. Usually between left side close to engine,u will see diff black hoses them,check to see if any is cracked,torn or worn out. Is your radiator lacking or holding water or both coolant and radiator are lacking ,even if you do top up. Hoses must be checked,

damaray:
I would appreciate if someone can recommend a good mechanic in Ibadan that can handle the problem.

demolagilbert:
I sell scanners here in Ibadan.

Meanwhile, did you check to see if the fan was blowing at all? That is the first thing to determine in a case of overheating

Are you using coolant or ordinary water in radiator and the reservoir? My fiancée Camry also had this issue when she was pouring ordinary water into the radiator… though the car was not overheating, the radiator water just boils continuously for some minutes after parking…

damaray:


I'm using water no coolant, mine is also not overheating only that it boils after parking.

Please how did you manage to fix this?

Simply flush out the water and pour in coolant

Sir I first experienced this when my ac started blinking , the ac immediately stopped cooling , I went to a nearby Electrician and we found out that one of my fan is not working .... He replaced it but my ac packed up ,, he said the over heating affected the compressor plate ... Although I never experienced the boiling of the reservoir anymore but late today I experienced it while coming home ... It was boiling so much but my temperature gauge was normal ... I tried checking everything out... The fans was normal ... I don't really know what's wrong . . Please help me on this .... It's 2009 Toyota Camry V6 ... The last time I changed the radiator was in 2019... Could it be the cause ??

ur radiator cap is bad change it, the steam is escaping, it has happened to me before.

Dozieson:


Be careful Bro, that engine is over 600k.

Change your radiator cap if your coolant level is not reducing.

Check your radiator for dirty or leakage

Is there thermostat in your engine ?

As I woke up , I checked my car , there is no coolant in the reservoir... The reservoir has dried up ... I also had a close look at my radiator and I saw some markings on it ...let me send you a picture of my radiator cover

slimmoney:
the radiator cap is bad, very obvious its discharging water, replace it but make sure with same specification.
