My Car Radiator Issue / 4 Typical Signs Of A Failing Radiator / Don't Top-up Your Radiator With Water. Use Engine Coolant (2) (3) (4)
Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Lawalemi(m): 2:10pm On Jul 10, 2022 |
I changed AC compressor and afterwards my engine temperature increases each time I switch on Air Conditioner. Now mechanic is asking that I change radiator. My fear is that this could be a trial and error solution. Please what could trigger temperature the moment I switch on AC in Corolla LE 2009? Thanks |

Lawalemi: Show us picture of what you mean by temperature increase. The gauge should be at half mark 1 Like |

Lawalemi:are sure you use right compressor |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Lawalemi(m): 11:11pm On Jul 10, 2022 |
Dozieson:It goes pass half mark |

Lawalemi:because my experienced same thing until we get to know that the technician put Peugeot compressor. Be sure the compressor is automatic not manual. Mobus 1 Like |

Chai! Oga Kazeem on the beat. Cook that thing! Check ur fan. Any leakage in ur radiator? Though it goes up when AC is switched on. I guess na manual(Peugeot) compressor Dey der. Find Mosbus here and complain sha. Next thing the werey kazeem will ask u to put double cell radiator. 2 Likes

Lawalemi: Is your radiator coolant dropping? Is your radiator leaking? Are you sure the fan/fans are working well? Is your thermostat working well? Check all these and feed us back |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 8:58am On Jul 11, 2022 |
I do experience this too most especially during hot weather. The mechanic said a rewire should remove the radiator and wash. The rewire did that but problem still persist and now he's saying i should get a new radiator. Lawalemi: |

In my own case, the coolant in the radiator do rush down to the coolant reservoir during overheating and coolant starts leaking from the reservoir. My fans are blowing well. Thermostat working well. Dozieson: |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 10:46am On Jul 11, 2022 |
Raregem9000: Are you experiencing overheating too? Leaking of coolant from either the radiator, engine head gasket or reservoirs will cause overheating |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Lawalemi(m): 10:56am On Jul 11, 2022 |
festaclanre:He replaced with manual. Thanks for the insight. I need to go ask which brand of compressor he fixed |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Lawalemi(m): 10:59am On Jul 11, 2022 |
Dozieson:Yeah, coolant is dropping but radiator isn't leaking. Fan works well too |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 12:06pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Yes, i'm experiencing that when the AC is on. Car model is Toyota Corolla 09. Radiator doesn't leak water. What happens when the car is overheating is that all the water in the radiator moves down to the reservoir and the water comes out of the reservoir head cover. You know the cover is like rubber, so when there's excess hot water rushing down to the reservoir from the radiator. The cover contract and open itself causing all the water to rush out from there.

Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 12:10pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Do you still have coolant in the radiator and reservoir when you open it after the overheating? Lawalemi: |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 2:27pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Lawalemi: So where is it leaking from leaking? With radiator, hoses or head gasket |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 2:29pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Raregem9000: Change your radiator cover. Again, is there thermostat on your engine? Maybe it has filed. 1 Like |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 3:09pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
I will change that because i also read about something like that online some days ago. Yes, there's thermostat and it's working well Dozieson: |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 4:43pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Raregem9000: Ok |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by chukel(m): 5:05pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
Raregem9000:how did youconfirm your thermostat is working well? |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 5:15pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
chukel: Good question |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by vastolord4(m): 8:12pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
It should be the radiator cap.. change that |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by HenryWilliams(m): 10:47pm On Jul 11, 2022 |
The fan is working intermittently. Check it properly |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by nonso84(m): 11:00am On Jul 12, 2022 |
Raregem9000:Check your radiator cap. I experienced this a long time ago. After driving your coolant reservoir will be boiling abi? |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 11:18am On Jul 12, 2022 |
Exactly sir. Was it a new radiator cap you bought or Tokunbo? nonso84: |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Raregem9000(m): 11:19am On Jul 12, 2022 |
My mechanic confirmed that for me chukel: |
Re: Corolla 2009: AC & Radiator Issue by Dozieson(m): 3:15pm On Jul 12, 2022 |
Raregem9000: The easiest way to know is to remove and boil it yourself. You will see how it opens when hot and closes when cold |

Lawalemi: Let's see five reasons your car temperature gauge rises suddenly . 1. Low coolant level A low coolant level happens to be the most common reason a car overheats. The coolant ensures heat is removed from the engine. Situations whereby the coolant reserve becomes empty, refilling it is the fix. Another reason can be when there's a leak in the hoses, radiator, water pump or thermostat housing, the engine will be unable to cool properly. 2. Faulty radiator fan The main job of a radiator fan is to cool the internal combustion engine thereby ensuring that the right temperature is there for the engine to function effectively. When your car is overheating, check under the hood to see if the radiator fan is still working. Again, examine your car's air conditioning unit and try putting it on. If it's not responding, then know that your radiator fan is faulty. 3.3. Blocked hoses If after you've checked the coolant and radiator fan and discovered everything is working fine, then you might want to also inspect your coolant hose. Dirt or particles may sometimes go into the coolant and restrict the flow of coolant fluid via the hose. The recommended course of action here is to get the system flushed and refill the coolant tank. 4. Faulty water pump The water pump is considered to be the heart of a vehicle's cooling system. Its primary job is to get the coolant moving throughout the cooling system. The water pump tends to malfunction and it will result in the improper flow of the coolant. The cause of the water pump becoming faulty is shaft breakage, seal leakage and casting breakage. A faulty water pump is one of the reasons your temperature gauge rises high unexpectedly. 5. Damaged head gasket A damaged gasket is also a reason for your car temperature gauge going up. The head gasket is an important component of a car engine responsible for sealing the coolant, combustion chamber, and engine oil pass. When it damages, it can cause serious problems for your car. You can fix a head gasket leak at home. But the final note is when your car starts experiencing engine overheating, it's time to visit the mechanic. |
